How to tank as an 80 Warrior?

[Zuoci1]

I just recently got an 80 warrior and have been having trouble keeping aggro on multiple targets. Any help on how to tank as a warrior would be very helpful.

tab and glyph of cleaving is the answer to your problems. keep in mind that warriors aint the best aoe class, nowhere near. keep vigilance on the palatonk and ask for rogues to tot fok you.

Glyph of cleaving is rubbish.

If we're talking heroics, it's all about knowing how much threat you have on each target (Roughly estimated, it becomes a habit) and which target the dps are killing (If you don't mark). Always keep an eye out for extra pats, and stupid things your dps could do.

Now for raids, generally speaking it's pretty easy (Except for maybe Firefighter and Yogg phase 3), because you're trying to generate as much threat as possible on one target. Know your rotation and priority list.

If you're a clicker then i'd probably tell you you aren't fit for tanking.

Glyph of Cleave = awesome for heroics

Since you get rage on dodge and parry, its even nicer. When you start doing heroics, theres really nothing better than this.

Thunderclap is okey for keeping the mobs off the healers, but if you have a t8.5 fury warrior or ret pally in your groups, you can either tab to death or cleave it.

Glyph of Cleave is very good for trash and heroics. Traded it for Glyph of Revenge, which is useless with all the incomming rage we have now.

Engage a group by Heroic Throw on caster (if any) or other mob, Charge one mob, SS it, Thunder Clap, Walk a few steps backwards to gather them up in front of you, Shock Wave.

Then:
If you use marks (which you should if you are having trouble), spam Cleave on primary target, while using your normal abilities (SS, Revenge, Devastate) and keeping TC and SW on CD.

No marks? Keep TC and SW on CD, while spamming cleave. Tab between you targets using whichever ability is ready (SS, Revenge, Devastate).

For extra points, use Shield Block when its up and the mobs are not stunned (e.g. from SW).


Its no too bad anymore, but requires a lot of Cleave spamming.
