  • Sharicasmi...im a huge fan i have a protadin and a blood disease dk tank...and i wonder how a shaman can tank so well? i havent seen a shaman do as well as this since vannilla on my warrior

  • @Obelisk894 its just a matter of peicing together enough hunter misdirects/rogue tricks, popping stoneclaw absorb every 21sec, shamanistic rage every 1min. Specing right and gearing right also helps significantly, Once you reach crit immunity it only takes 24k armor 6% DR through talents 40k health and 33% avoidance to stay alive in most 10mans.

    The rest of being a good tank is proper timing of your tanking cooldowns/abilities and knowing when to throw in an absorb, heal, or tanking cd.

  • did anyone at anytime MD or ToT you?

  • @spreadneedlexp of course lol. I bring my wifes rogue (tak) to just about all of my events, and thats what ToT is for, for feeding the tank threat. It's the only thing blizzards ever done to make rogues a team player. Mind you, I dont rely on tricks so much while chain pullling heroics since i can't expect tricks to be up every mob pull, and i do just fine without tricks when i have to.

    @paperbuddha

    link to my armory is on my youtube site. I was using mostly furious when i shot this

  • armory link is on my youtube site which can be accessed through the right. you'll also find two tutorial videos called how to tank enhance.

    Enjoy it before they nerf it

  • not to sound like an idiot but i can see a tank shield and MH but how do you get enough avoidance from mail gear? i understand stoneskin and earthshock but can that overcome the def cap? anyway this is very interesting to me (druid tank) anything you have to say would be appreciated ty

  • @davisactual agility is equal to about 80% the value of dodge rating, so as long as i wear some high agil pve peices mixed with pvp stuff for crit immunity, i can just gem stam in my pvp set, or def in my 4peice tier9.5. At 30% dodge raid buffed 1200 agil/212 dodge rating.

  • Ok... this is epic.

  • shamans used to be tanks in vanilla, just because they wear mail doesn't mean they can't tank as the above just proved it to you.

  • I miss wotlk :(

  • nice job

  • nice job cant wait to see your attempt at bh first hand def will be interesting lol

  • @RevyNai

    Where didn't I "chillax? :P I tank myself, but as elemental...cba to specc something extra to try some silly things. ^^

  • @Sarackosmo No one is gonna force you to have a shaman tank. I play Enh (for PvE) and Resto (for PvP), and I've always wanted to try and tank (and did, some minor dungeons) as Enh... but never very successfully. This is AWESOME to me, to see a boss tanked, to any decent degree , by a shaman.

    Besides, some guilds, like my own, enjoy challenges. We are a tight knit, experienced group, and burn through content relatively fast, so coming up with new challenges is quite fun. Chillax a bit.

  • Part of a tanks job is building so much treat that a dps can go all out against him and sorry I did not see that happening here.

    If taking some hits was all there was to being a tank than 90% of the classes could tank this.

    I defend shaman tanking, but only to the lvl that I will never ever allow it unless it barely makes difference for the rest of the raid.

  • I like the fact that you're trying out new things in WOW.

  • respect

  • not to be a dick but i play a healer and if i had to heal that i would have to say no way man i dont need another thing to worry about while im trying to keep everyone alive. i grats the effert but NTY...

  • thats pretty awesome, sometimes i think i should give it a go, but then i just stick to dps :P
