Warrior Improvement Questions

[monkeytheman]

Don't use savage blade as a warrior, ever. It is completely pointless without the combo bonus. HS > SS > BB is your main aggro combo for single target, savage blade is paladin's version of skull sunder so there is no point of us using it. Provoke is needed for endgame tank-swaps, and is nice if you lose aggro on something. Provoke is NOT a taunt like in WoW or other games. It puts you at ONE threat higher than the highest threat on the enemies threat table. So if you use it to open a fight, be aware that you will only have generated 1 total threat until you start attacking it with anything else. As for defiance, just turn it off in fights where you are not going to be tanking anything. No point in reducing your damage if you are not going to be tanking at any point, but obviously turn it back on in fights where you need to pick up adds soon, or in fights that require tank swaps its generally safer to always leave it on for that. As for people getting mad at you for having defiance off as the OT in fights where you aren't the main tank and don't need to do anything but slap the boss.....all I can say is I've NEVER seen this happen before. Sounds like you have some rotten luck with the people you are with.
