Emnity Issues

Like many tanks said here - Weapon Damage is most important parameter for dmg and aggro. Weapons must be first in leveling priority. Always.

Not all tanks know this, ive run across a few where they want to main tank with lower level gear. I asked to Mt cuz i would pull hate as OT(zeta war/Aug pld) they got offended thinking I was a elitist. I literally had to slow my rotations down (sad panda) i was on pld with all Bis left and fully melded slaying. The other novus. First time I had to use riot combo 95 percent of the time.lol

Yeah, the moment you hit the level cap, there's a huge range of items levels, you can be playing with people twice as strong as you are.

The range of equipment useable by a lv50 character is i50-i135, and expert dungeons are unsynced.

Having high gear level is more important for tank players than anyone else, because it will be impossible to keep the enemies on you if you are so far behind.

Yes, you need a better weapon, but that healer was also a huge douche. There's no point going into a dungeon with a Zodiac weapon, swinging your dick around and pulling hate off of the tank constantly, it's not helping at all, and if you can't adjust your playstyle to cater for the skill and equipment of the other people in your group you are a bad player. An overgeared DPS/healer can always generate less threat if they want, but an undergeared tank literally cannot generate more threat than their weapon allows.

just a small tip, if you are pulling, make sure you don't have any HoTs on you. you will pull and immediately have no hate on the adds, and for some reason it makes getting hate back really tough if you are undergeared. but, if you are way under geared and everyone is bis you will find it tough to hold on to adds, but I wouldn't panic, just flash and over power, only thing you can do.

You want to start playing with your rotations. OP is not going to cut it in these situations. Throw a berserk/bloodbath/steel cyclone, that may help. Hopefully you have flash as well. If you have multi mobs and they have holy....Your main job is to hold them still. As you approach the mobs, use your wrath stack CD, berserk/bb/sc, throw in some flash and op and you should hold. But def up the weapon. I have ran WOD, but trying to level some more gear before I go back. Held hate in there okish, but was pretty full on, I want some breathing space.

There are some really experienced Wars out there that can give you better rotation advice than me tho.
