End game Skill rotation Warrior

[EvilHippie]

Hi, i am a pretty awful tank and have been scouring the forums to try not to suck so bad. So please any skill rotations you guys may have would be fantastic as a suggestion. And don't say re-roll pld. We get it, you like doing things the easy way.

Well it matters for what content.

Basics: The threat meter is located on the party bar right underneath the class symbol. As someone fill it up, they are closer to taking agro.
Hate combo chain is Heavy Swing, Skull Sunder, Butcher's block. Your main buff como is heavy swing, maim, storms eye. Depending on where agro list is sitting 3 hate combo's, buff combo
Groups, use Over Power, and keep em grouped up. After 2-3 overpowers, use the combo's mixing in overpower between the combos.
With lots of mobs, make sure you use your defensive cd's.

BB combo>BB combo>SE combo. It maximizes your enmity generation. You don't need the SE combo up all the time and, in fact, going out of your way to do so reduces your enmity generation because you're using SE more often and it does both less damage and generates less enmity than BB. If you feel like it, you can add in a Fracture before the SE, but it's not really "required" since it's a marginal DPS increase and a slight reduction in enmity generation.

Thanks but all of this is stuff i already know. I was hoping for some better ideas on rotations than the standard ones i use to be honest. But i guess i am doing it right.

Aside from threat generation, rotations isn't really a thing with tanking. That's more of a DPS thing.

Are you asking for specific combos to survive better? Tactics for avoiding damage? tricks to gathering mobs?

Unless we know where your weakness lies, I'm not sure where to begin.

Is there any particular reason why you think you are a bad tank in general?

For large groups with big dps people I like to hit Berserk as I run in and Overpower until I hit pacify. It ensures a rather large lead in the aggro.

I actually don't think i am a Bad tank, just inexperienced in some of the end game content. Listening to some players in game brag about how well they do on war i was wondering if there was something i was missing, but i guess they are just flexing their e-peens. I use flash for large groups as well as Overpower. I rotate targets, granted i do miss one now and again, and if something moves off i have provoke and tomahawk macroed. I think people just like to bitch about a war tank for any endgame content now, no matter what it is.

Edit* So my OP was more to see if i was missing something.

Might also be your gear. Can't check since I'm browsing from my phone.

The amount of threat you generate is affected by your weapon's damage. If your axe isn't GC and above, you may have trouble keeping up with folks running relics.

To excel at tanking you need a strong sense of situational awareness and group positioning and that unfortunately comes strictly down to experience and experience is your best teacher.

It helps when your members understand how group and raid etiquette works too, inexperienced players will always make a tank look bad.

Best way to play warrior is to reroll paladin . That's my thoughts and that's what I did , Im having a blast playing my paladin which feels like a real tank .
