Throne of Tides, pt 1, DK tank perspective, Cataclysm beta

http://pwnwear.com the top DK tank site. Part 1 of 8, includes commentary. My first time tanking Throne of Tides. It's tough, and you see me learning how to AOE tank without AOE talents, forget to use rune strike, struggle to communicate with a bunch of German testers but still prevail and take out all the bosses. This is unedited, so the footage includes corpse runs and at about 1am local time, a few yawns :). Beta 12479, with 31-pt talents.
I'm Gravity, from pwnwear.com, the leading Death Knight tank site. We have forums with facts and theory on DKs, with several active beta testers posting their thoughts.

You didn't use Death Strike? Are you kidding me? It gives you a bubble of 75% hp healed by Death Strike if im not wrong.

[pwnwear]

@MarsJz I'm sure I would have used it. It's self-heal is 17.5% of max HP, with bubble of same value. In this video however, in this version of beta, the bubble was not implemented.

Frost presence is not required for tanking anymore?

[pwnwear]

@sulkhan blood presence is the new tank presence.

@Thryce23 i'll agree with slow reaction time. But keybinds.. dude if think keybinds makes a tank then you don't shit. Which brings me to believe you haven't tanked shit. Keybinds are easy. Lets see we have a keyboard with 6 keys for movement. So that leaves the keybinds that hard to reach with the left hand while moving to be clicked with the mouse. But then again with your poor tanking skill i guess that's a little much for a retarded fool like you to do. That's getting owned bitch.

@MrClaive23

I've been a main tank in a very successful raiding guild since Wrath's launch. I've cleared all content and have obtained the majority of prestigious achievements while doing so. With that being said, you failed to respond to my actual criticisms of "Slow reaction time" "poor keybinds" . Neither of which are affected by being BETA or not.

Moron? LOL get owned

[MrClaive23]

@Thryce23 dude your a moron. read how long ago this video was posted. MEANING have the stuff that was suppose to work didn't work. And threat for all tanks was no where to be found. They had to do a lot of changes and this video was "BETA". Keyword beta. Look before you post.

[Iamawesomeo666]

stop breathing and swallowing into the mic. fuckin annoying.

[ishotyaaa]

well if green is bad, its a tanks responsibility to provide the dps with space to dps from behind and not fail to move and complain about them.

[xXenoChristx]

Is that the PvP 2-hander or the weapon from Blood Council?

[TheDeistAngle]

Hell yes, Gravity

[Thryce23]

Nothing personal, but if your site is the top DK tanking site we're all in trouble. Slow reaction time, improper use of abilities at many points in the video (relative to the situation at hand).

I dno..

Half your important abilities are macro'd "6" - "=" ....keybinds bro

[live4bass]

what do you use to get agro???

[hotrod232086]

just a tip, you didnt use deathgrip really at all to grab any range, and you reacted fairly slow on any changes, i dont ever use deathstrick as my rotation doesnt allow it, but im guess deathstrike becomes more important im curios what your talent build currently is.
