Not sure it needs a new sticky (depends on quality and size I guess). Addendum to this thread should be fine since thats actually where it belongs.
I'm thinking of something grouped up logically a step-by-step "fix my tanking" guide
I mean, the Prot Guides out there are all great and correct
But once you have read them (and understood) your pretty much on youre own. That where we (and this thread) come in. I used to ask alot of questions too (and still do..) since most of the stuff you actually need to know in order to figure out if youre doing things right, are no where to be found. At least not for a new player / new prot tank. You need to actually read this thread intensivly (or ask your questions) to figure that out.
So shouldn't we like create a basic guideline that allows players to actually learn how to?
Basic Sitemap:
- Have you checked the prot guides? (mmo + icy)
- Check your armory if you have/had the right glyphs/talents for the fight/in general
- Basic Things you should be doing / know / check for (SoTR uptime, SS uptime 95%, SS>SoI heals...)
- Advanced Things you should be doing / know / check (CS:J ratio, HP gained/spent)
- Expert Things (gcd available / spent...)
- Survival Analysis / Death Analysis (did you use SoTR at the time you died? any other cd? do you use SoTR with big hits / timed spells (like snapping bite) how good/how often do you time it well?
And most importantly, explain with screenshots. Most people, especially beginners, have a hard time finding the stuff they need to check for on WoL. Especially if its something like log queries (did you have a cd for snapping bites).
I'm not that great with all the math stuff and numbers and stuff.
But I can make some Pictures and write parts of it or sth like that.
Maybe there is like a collaboration feature (external sites? google docs?) where, if people are interested, a guide like that could be compiled and later copied onto these forums
