Last time I played warrior was patch 3.3.5 after the new threat system it seems like they nerfed TPS.
In a boss fight I do around 1.8- 2.2k threat. But it seems that a full epic geared frost DK is doing 1.6k threat in a boss fight, which means that he's really close to my threat. Is there a way to increase my tps?
My threat rotation is:
Charge > Shield Slam > Revenge > Devastate > Devastate > Devastate > Shield Slam > Revenge
(And HS for rage dump)
I'd like to hear your threat rotation.
Love.

Yeah I think DK dps threat got stealth buffed in the last patch. Just tell them to be careful near the start/any aggro drops.

Gear might come into it. I'd see if you can focus on increasing your DPS.
To be honest though, we don't have many warrior tanks in the guild anymore. I used to be one but things changed and I lost interest

When I'm tanking on my DK I've never used Omen, because you do a lot of threat and got so many abilities that helps you out.Septih wrote:Yeah I think DK dps threat got stealth buffed in the last patch. Just tell them to be careful near the start/any aggro drops.
The gear do help me a lot, now that I'm doing 15k crit I get a lot of threat.ash wrote:Gear might come into it. I'd see if you can focus on increasing your DPS.

I was a MT for ages, Galain quit WoW, Stainomo is temporarily afk, and uh I can't think of the others (xpol!). Always had drood/pala tanks

Theres just not much space in raids for more then 1 of the same spec/class and until recently there was one very dominant (very active & popular) warrior tank in the guild, probably didnt leave much space for other warrior tanks to shine.

Re: New warrior in town (4.0.1)
I had great respect for Galain and Xpolsiv as tanks back in the day... Have some great memories of tank swaps at critical moments and things where we looked after each other
Re: New warrior in town (4.0.1)
I see the point.
1 amazing tank over shines everyone and if he's active, why would you need another tank? (:

Re: New warrior in town (4.0.1)
Id just like to point out I havent played in 6months+ so really have no idea why theres no warrior tanks. Just a guess at the sort of class balance dynamics that have been around in the past.
And Ash's memorys go back to the time when warriors were the maintank class. Before DKs and before paladins were widely accepted as MTs. Now theres not much difference so if you have loads of active paladins, druids & dk tanks then you dont need to beg the warriors to tank. Also as a guild we dont recuit people specifically by class. We just manage with what we got. And if we desperately needed a warrior tank for something theres some dps warriors who tank on demand, we dont go looking to recruit them specifically. Oh and we dont get much turn over of people. So its not like we have had 10 warrior tanks join and quit for lack of raid space.

Re: New warrior in town (4.0.1)
Just thought I'd add my two cents. I haven't really experienced threat issues so far. Maybe it's cause I've never really met a worthy dps 
I don't really get 1.8-2.2k tps though. You mean 18-22k I guess?
As far as rotation goes, it's doesn't really exist anymore: it's been pretty much a priority system for a while now.
shield slam > revenge > devastate. and when rage is available inner fire + heroic strike
Though if you do use a rotation SS>Re>D>D>D SS is one D too much. SS cooldown is 6s. Most of the time however SnB procced way before that
As for stats, hit and expertise will give you the biggest bang for your buck. I've reforged about 3% worth of parry into 4% hit and 20 expertise or so. Since that adds up to about 15% less miss, dodge and parries by your enemy, it'll roughly be 15% extra threat. Warrior gearing is a tad odd this time around. Without reforging you don't get your threat stats
