Working with Tanks
Posted in Hunter, World of Warcraft, tagged misdirection, tanks, threat, traps, working with tanks on April 15, 2011 | 8 Comments »
This is a companion post to Working With Healers and has a similar purpose: discussing tanks and hunters in the opening tier of Cataclysm. While it’s true that healers have the toughest job right now, tanking still ranks above huntering in terms of difficulty. Tanks are expected to know new fights inside and out, and a lot more hangs [...]
The New Misdirect!

I’m not kidding when I say that the new misdirect is probably one of my favorite changes in patch 3.3. Every time a tank says “holy mackerel- I had 20k threat on that boss”, I smirk. It’s a win win. For the cost of a GCD (the first one is free), you help keep your [...]

We’ve all been there- you’re doing a fight with multiple tanking targets, and possibly multiple tanks. Healers can generate a lot of agro. Some of them don’t have clutch agro reducing abilities. Sometimes they get something pounding on them, and like all of the weaker classes, get mulched in short order. Today I’m going to [...]
