AOE tanking and Taunt question (Warrior)

[Kitru]

Also, to address your point - if you only know one strategy to tank, then when something unexpected happens, you will be less equipped than someone who employs a variety of situational strategies. I mainly use traditional tanking strategies, but there are plently of situations where you can use forward thinking and dexterity to alleviate stress, worry, and healer mana.

And you're talking about highly situations strategies as if they were somehow useful to bring up all the time. Your wonky little Provoke strategy is both harder to execute, much less useful, and much less effective than just learning to target swap to maintain multi-target enmity.

Casuals don't need to be told to use some wonky Provoke combo that requires effectively split second timing. They need to be told the relatively simple process to maintain threat on multiple targets since it does the job *better* and is easier to do. You're overcomplicating what should be incredibly simple.

Agreed - I did kind of get carried away with a unique situational strategy involving Provoke. What I was trying to get across was that Provoke is useful situationally, and that I personally disagree with your statement that it should not be used aside from those couple specific times. I think employing the "wonky" strategies in combination with the traditional tanking methods (which this thread was not addressing, it was specifically talking about Provoke usage), is a great way to be a tank. I think its just a difference of opinion that we got carried away with - I sincerely apologize for being extra combative in this particular instance.
