[QUOTE=Itszutak;19480569]Thanks, but I've been using that for a while[/QUOTE] Then yours is clearly an older version if you can't even tank right...
[QUOTE=ketchup;19480630][img_thumb]http://filesmelt.com/dl/Bad-7101921.jpg[/img_thumb][/QUOTE] I kno, hence why I try avoiding it as often as possible.
omg someone who knows they arent good at something and can admit it FUCKING MIRACLE [editline]01:46AM[/editline] btw TGWTG is badass
Thinking of rerolling, probably going to do Recruit a friend when i do. Any suggestions on a class? Besides warlock and hunter already got 80, was thinking maybe druid and/or shaman and eventually my paladin which is 37ish

Hmm. Phrased my question wrong. What I should have said was this: I've noticed many endgame raiders use addons to help them play. I was wondering if there was some standard (emphasis here) tanking addon "decent" tanks used. Not useless crap, just stuff a "decent" tank is expected to use (threat meter, etc.). I'm raiding fairly low-difficulty content right now and somehow I imagined that it would get harder as I got into endgame stuff-- not to say I'm having difficulty spamming TS and Cleave right now. Out of curiosity, does tanking ever get more difficult? I've only ever lost threat to idiot DKs using frost presc and DG.
i gotta be honest i have no clue what youre talking about [editline]01:53AM[/editline] there are no addons to help you tank
[QUOTE=ketchup;19480764]i gotta be honest i have no clue what youre talking about [editline]01:53AM[/editline] there are no addons to help you tank[/QUOTE] Alright, good. Just making sure.
[QUOTE=ketchup;19480764]i gotta be honest i have no clue what youre talking about [editline]01:53AM[/editline] there are no addons to help you tank[/QUOTE] uh omen?
omen doesnt make tanking any easier and blizzards in-game threat meter works just fine
Is the mob attacking you? No - you suck and are bad Yes - you still suck and are bad
[QUOTE=ketchup;19480855]omen doesnt make tanking any easier and blizzards in-game threat meter works just fine[/QUOTE] The blizzards in-game shitmeter only shows if you mouseover, doesn't update unless you re-mouseover, and only shows a %
[QUOTE=g1real;19481245]The blizzards in-game shitmeter only shows if you mouseover, doesn't update unless you re-mouseover, and only shows a %[/QUOTE] Turn on name plates. See anything that isn't red? Hit that shit.
[QUOTE=g1real;19481245]The blizzards in-game shitmeter only shows if you mouseover, doesn't update unless you re-mouseover, and only shows a %[/QUOTE] From what I remember of Omen, it was single target only. Blizz threat meter is fine for that. All I maybe want is a mod that makes the default Blizzard aggro warnings and floating nameplates border more obvious. Red on red is really fucking hard to notice when tanking multiple mobs.
[QUOTE=ketchup;19480691]omg someone who knows they arent good at something and can admit it FUCKING MIRACLE[/QUOTE] I admit that I am a terrible Pally Healer in the ICC Heroics. Everytime I do it I wipe on Forgemaster Garfrost either because A: Nobody removes their debuffs or B: There are too many fucking rocks all clustered together and everyone is constantly out of my LoS and I can't get them back into it fast enough.
[QUOTE=kattolil;19480734]Our tank for violet hold quit for some reason and I had to take over. It was horrible :c Also 9000 useless posts woop.[/QUOTE] Don't see whats so difficult about it to be honest. On my frost dk I just pull with icy touch-> DnD-> plauge strike-> pestilence-> spam obli for rime procs. Oh and using my rune power for rune strikes.
Sup. Posting from school. Were all banned from FP here due to some faggot gettingt permd on a account he made here. Ah well, atleast i can still post from phone. I hope there will be a patch next week, and cc alpha shortly after.
[QUOTE=Itszutak;19480434]I just got a riot shield. Tanking is getting kinda hectic-- are there any addons I should be using to make it easier?[/QUOTE] Tidy Plates Tidy Plates v. Threat Plates. It scale the size of the health bars so you can see who you have / loosing aggro on. If you start to loose aggro or some1 overaggro a mob, that mobs health plate turns really big so you can see it easy and klick it fast to taunt it with your [U][B]Key bound[/B][/U] taunt. And ofc omen is good even is sasuke doesn't think so. What it does is show threat on a mob for the group / raid. So you can taunt that mob with your[U][B] Key bound[/B][/U] taunts if some1 get too high aggro.

It's really helpful with tidy plates. Oh right ketchup think not, sorry then it just has to be a piece of useless shit. [editline]10:21AM[/editline] Wait no, it's really helpful. You are confusing me :saddowns:
it is a useless piece of shit sorry pinochle
Yeah it's useless but still it is really useful when I am tanking and I pull a ton of mobs and loose aggro on 1 and the health bar gets big so I can click it easier to taunt it :downs:
you shouldnt be losing aggro pinochle, if you are youre a bad tank
It's one thing to loose aggro when you are fighting a boss. But when I pull packs of mob and some1 start dps on some1 I haven't got much threat on yet, it's not much I can do about it.
sorrrry pinochle, lose aggro and you're bad
My Righteous Defense is a bound macro to use on mouseover. If some1 get aggro they get a red circle arround their portrait. Then I just hover over their mug and use it to taunt that mob in question. Other then that I find tidy plates handy when it happens. [editline]10:34AM[/editline] ITT I am a bad tank if I loose aggro when dps don't wait for me to get aggro
im glad you got my point pinochle :]
ITT ketchup don't know how threat works
