This thread is just pally talk, how strong we are, and our threat.
Went to my pally as a MT like 2 weeks ago, after rerolling from a dk to monk (to pally)...
My guild is new, created by me and a few mates this expansion, and many raiders are complete new to raiding, along with that we've had many ISP issues (Thanks VM!), however we have managed to clear MSV quite fast and even the first on hc, im quite sure we can get 2nd down as we was having trouble on shield phase but managed to do it perfectly, but the dc happened.. anyway more onto the point;
i tanked my first MSV on the pally as a MT in 463ilvl, this is the same week the guild was progressing Stone guards HC for the first time, and killed it. I took like 6m more dmg than the OT who was like 482ilvl BDK.
This week being at 472ilvl i took only 2m more damage, i see lots of people talk about pallys being bad and such but they feel really strong, i've tanked MSv on my dk, monk and pally and my pally seems to be the strongest/feel the strongest, althought hes under all their ilvl.
Threat question... i've been a tank for basically the whole time i've played wow in a serious matter (after my first 80 which took me months to lvl! had hardly any idea what i was doing and such) and i use a few addons and such to make sure if i am almost loosing agro i know, or if i have lost agro/someones taunted and such. since patch 5.1 (first day actually) i've seen warriors pull INSANE threat as dps spec (not defensive stance) it seems buggy, but also since that the Blood dks threat seems higher, if he main tanks the boss he over agros on taunt etc, even after i salv him to reduce his threat for 10 secs.
Is threat buggy since 5.1? i mentioned the dps warrior having agro in LFR (he wasnt even top dps, doing about 50k lol), perfect example of why i think also;
- Stone guard trash, the quillen packs, i pulled did 75k aoe as the big quillen transform happens and 1 tank needs to OT it away, blood dk had like 40/50k dps, yet he had like 80% of the pack agro'd i was pulling more dps and such and it made no sense, only that blood dks must have higher TPS than Paladins. Is this a known thing? intended? or am i the only one seeing this.
