Tanking Frustration: I blame WoW

[Blowfeld]

Yep,

everytime I see people ae bombing the hell out of a mobgroup I only twinked at I always say to myself: Here come the WOW guys

Only thing I like more is when they then run away from the mobs they aggroed (and me, because: why run to the tank when having mobs up your ass) and run into other mob groups, pulling half instances only to die horribly and say: This tank sucks, he never saves me!!!

and this is why we warriors just lol and say nuke away Black mages and bards you cant pull agro of me, and then they team up with paladin tank and you the pally tanks starts to QQ ... yes paladin tanks need some AoE threat buffs but then again why not fix warriors end game tanking first?

Or you could be constructive.

speaking as a warrior, if a dps pulls aggro off of me it's because i got distracted in real life. if i am paying attention, no one will pull aggro off of me, ever. and i dont just sit around spamming overpower so it's not an aoe threat thing. i genuinely believe that if a tank loses aggro after the initial pull, it's the tank's fault.

I take it you haven't had a bard or caster unleash everything they have before you have even positioned yourself have you?

You might want to reread my post because you missed a few words. I'll bolden them for you:

But really, all I need to do is land a butchers block combo and i win on threat.
