Of Tanking and WoD

[Docent]

Our Behemoth example, I suffered the opposite last night. Maybe everybody thought that was the case. M co-tank was an FC member of mine, and we queued he wo of us. OK, our WHM was trolling us almost the entire raid. Aside from that, I called MT on Behemoth, and he called Giants. Why? our Healers (even Especially the one trolling us) proved they could handle healing us.

I'll have to check the towers next time I run LotA for my Carboncoat. I had my eyes on a tower last time I ran it (I wasn't MT that run, someone else was more aggressive than me!), and I never had to click it. I will double-check if it really resets on its own, or if a sneaky lalafell kept hitting it in my stead.

God forbid you are one of those tanks, trying to pull threat, and standing with the DPS. So many times I see somebody voke+BB or RoH and get the whole alliance cleaved by some hard hitting attack. Then I get blamed for losing threat.

I am responsible in my stupidity. If I am "in a pissing contest", it'll only be with someone trying to steal it from ME (As in, I was the MT, I pulled and positioned mob, and am facing the right way, and suddenly another tank challenges me).
If you pulled before me and I'm in the same raid, you can believe me I'll be out of defiance faster than you can say "snap!" and just popping my 2 DPS combo over and over (hey, I'm giving you extra damage and debuff the boss!), and simply watch my threat to be 2nd in line in case you die. I don't challenge tanks that pull before me and let me DPS -- I'm just going to start to compete for damage dealt with the DPSers instead.

The only thing I hate in WoD from tanks is when they don't keep Angra Mainyu facing a single direction, the need to keep alternating the floor AoE red/blue becomes very annoying when Angra Mainyu is spinning around all over the place and so have no idea where the red and blue is going to end up.

For Angra: If the MT moves in and out fast enough, the boss shouldn't spin when he does the blue/red floors.

I am not a tank but I don't recall any other boss having anything uber tricky to tank in WoD from my perspective though I could be wrong. Casters and healers I imagine have the more tricky jobs in WoD.

Other than having a brain, some HP and defensive cooldown, MT tanking duty in WoD is the easiest job in the raid, by far. I have yet to learn the mechanics of all the bosses, as I've almost never ran them on DPS or Healer, but as a tank, I pretty much 1-2-3 and pop cooldowns and it's a win. (Position the boss, move out of AoE, but those are given)
