WoW Cataclysm Prot Warrior Tank Guide Patch 4.1 (Gameplay/Tutorial)

[OMGballsonmychin]

You have no idea how to spec a warrior, this is an awful guide lol. And glyphs are especially bad.

[IndieNuzzle]

I'm moving from Eu to US so seeing as I can't transfer my characters I don't know wether to stick to paladin tanking that iv been doing since wotlk or go back to when I was prot warr back in TBC :/ I might roll a warr once in US, I was just wondering if warriors were getting more support spells to actually help defend the raid and not just themselves because if not then prot pally till death wing :)

[WoWKriptic]

@IndieNuzzle I believe that blizzard is going to change the warriors way of tanking to a more similar function of prot pallies currently, IE (Holy Power) But i havent heard anything about having more defensive raid cooldowns besides rallying cry

[IndieNuzzle]

@WoWKriptic hmm i didnt really like the addition of holy power tbh unless they made it so that as prot when u used inquistion with 3 hoy power u would get a deffensive buff but other than that kind of a bad addition...so if they gave to warriors wouldnt really be some thing id look forward to, just seems like warriors are less helpfull in raid environments...

[WoWKriptic]

@IndieNuzzle overall for raid defensive cooldowns they are a bit less helpful in terms of raid cooldowns but they still make great tanks, a bit harder to play compared to pallies and stuff so im sure they may get a buff soon, that is just my opinion, lolz not looking to argue :p

[IndieNuzzle]

@WoWKriptic No no its helpful cause they seemed to have changed since BC :) so its not argument more like a discussion x) and yes more difficulty the better because pressing crusader strike over and over again is killing me :P they do have good aggro so meh maybe i hope they just make their gear awesome then i might roll it :P

[frecklemanant]

i got an 84 ne war prot tank and i enjoy playing it but tbh if you want an easy tank just do a prot pally bc of righteous fury and consecration it just make life so easy

I'd like to offer some constructive criticism. First, thank you for making this guide, every contribution is helpful to the community. With the next guide you do, it may be more helpful to forego going through each talent at the beginning of the video. It may seem like a natural place to start, because having a Prot spec is the obvious first thing to do. Perhaps a better way to do it would be to show the whole spec, and then show the situational benefit of each talent as it comes up.

[WoWKriptic]

@duhg599 Absolutely, this was a big help thank you, i just wasnt sure about doing that because it might have seemed boring, but thanks

[CrazyRussianandFire]

after this reroll a prot pally and enjoy being a warrior... plus heals and bubbles and better aggro and raid saving abilities and better mitigation.

[wowscarfiendwow90]

Whats the name of the addon .. that shows the big numbers on the hotkeys .. helps alot :D

[WoWKriptic]

@wowscarfiendwow90 its simply called cooldowns :)

[wowscarfiendwow90]

@WoWKriptic Ty very much :)

[TehSh4un]

@WoWKriptic Hey could you tell me the threat addon you have it would really help me notice if i need to use devastate and such :)

[TheMightOfChina]

Taurans do have a raical for hp, Night Elf has dodge, Draenai has Gift of Naruua to self-heal. Warrior tanks are the plain stardard grunt and fury is like internet rage gammer going berserk. Any class with any spec would most likely matches the personality of the player.

[WoWKriptic]

@TheMightOfChina i would have to say that i completely disagree, i have a number of alts that i play, and i have played a fury warrior and i definetly think that i am not a rager if anything

[WoWKriptic]

@TheMightOfChina but i do understand where u are coming from and i suppose that is why u said "most likely"

[TheExplotion12345]

how do you get that 2 bar for talents

[jcreel234]

how do you make macros plz let me know

[chilla102]

what is the best race for warriors?

[WoWKriptic]

@chilla102 right now, i would probably say human 4 pvp, night elf 4 dps, and dwarf 4 tank

[ChinnuWoW]

@WoWKriptic what? shouldn't it be taurens for tanking because taurens have a health increase?

[devilknight69]

@ChinnuWoW well look dwarfs have a good ability for tanks 

[devilknight69]

@chilla102 well dwarfs or cows taurans 

[sandwichmanz]

Well see my cousin started playing so I was going to make a tank to level with him. I have a 64 warrior but he's on another server than all my main characters, and pally seems interesting but I just can't decide.

[sandwichmanz]

Should I make a prot warr or tankadin?

[WoWKriptic]

@sandwichmanz haha for sure prot warrior, keep watching my vids and i will try to help out newer tanks as best as i can :)

[kopilatis10]
