Hey guys, since I’ve recently been learning tank, I thought I’d make a video on 5 fundamental aspects of Tank I’ve found interesting to grasp as I’ve learnt it transitioning from being a full time DPS player. Hope you guys find this interesting and I look forward to making a blend of tank and dps content from now on!

  1. While I wouldnt disagree with #2, I think its not the absolute best way you could frame it. One of the best mitigation methods a tank can use is being far enough from the threats so that they cant do anything to you, which stands in contradiction with you wanting to stay in place the aoe damage of your group is. So what I think would be slightly better advice is to incorporate both into your thought process at the same time, ie. 'how I can preplan the pull so that I have space to move around and how do I move around a small area while still maximizing the dps output of the group'. While im not the most experienced I think this is worth thinking about, especially when playing a highly mobile class like DH.

  5. Good Video for starters, each and every Tip is reasonable and will help. However, small disagree on the Target Cap thing. Most of the important abilities of tanks are still un- or to be precise softcapped (Immolation Aura, Keg Smash, Thunderclap, Death and Decay, Thrash etc.) Ofc your fillers have been capped by a fair amount, because there were close to no issues in both Legion and BFA threatwise as a tank and tanking after all is the least challenging role while pushing keys. Remember BDKs pulling half the map in 25s and kiting them for days….without a rogue :'-D I'm glad current tanking requires to you be sort of a hybrid dps.

  8. Nice to see proper advice. as a fire mage main who runs with dps players who swapped to tank its incredibly frustrating having a tank kite out of a flame patch , so much so i had to respec to arcane to do any type of aoe at all. How would you recommend asking a tank a be more aggresive with pulls , timing a 15key +1 , week in week out isnt as exciting when it could be a +3 🙂

  10. If the game can't adapt to the current time problems for players, players must adapt themselves to issues that blizzard can't be asked to fix but keep milking people out of money for a "paid-beta" game

  11. ironically I dropped my warlock for a bit to tank as well. I got sick of begging for groups. Its still kind of hard to break into high keys as a lock on NA. Life is rough for non meta classes, especially warlock, if your trying to push outside a dedicated group. I have been debating warrior, monk main or staying with my druid.
