Blood dk tanking(bugged)

#1 » Post by anxanas » 16 Jun 2014 21:29

I am playing as a blood dk, and i have noticed how hard it is for a blood dk to hold single target aggro on bosses, even though they were pretty good in retail, is this some kind of bug or is it just me who doesnt know how to tank.(i have macroed rune strike to pretty much all my abilities so its not that iam not using it) The only way i am able to keep aggro is by spamming icy touch which leads to me not being able to self heal properly. I am tanking with shadows edge

is your gs equal/higher than the gs of the dps?
do you have trouble holding agro in rhcs? raids? what raids?

do you ask your OT to taunt for you to stay on top of the agro table? because OT needs to taunt too, not sit with his hand up his ass

My gs is 6.1k so i dont think thats the problem.
In rhcs i have alot of trouble holding aggro but blood dks have very weak aoe so iam not worried about that, thats something i lose my having good survivability.
I usually raid icc all modes and toc all modes.
OT taunting of me? Unless the encounter requires it OT doesnt do that.

Though is the blood tree bugged? I know blood dps.

Blood sucks. 8-) go Frost. ^_^
frost you have 100% shure keep agro on boss and 80% shure keep agro on aoe. saying by my own experience.
i do have 5.8 GS and i keep agro easy in icc25 as frost.
You did a bad think? Does it affect me? No? Them Suffer in Silence.
You Crying now? You have no reason to cry, if some one cries is because they are sad.
For example,i cry because people are stupid what makes me sad.
And i'm not insane, my Mother had me tested.

Dr.Who thank you for your opinion(i mean it) but for me a frost dk is just a bad version of a warrior, i like blood dks. Not going to switch unless blood tanking is really bugged

Depends on build...a week ago i changed talents on blood tank...Previously i speced for max survival...even lichborne to death coil myself...so i sacrificed some talents for dealing more damage and now its ok...on the other hand i think that death and decay does less threat than it should...

yeah go bug abuse >.>

and i personally dont have problems holding threat as a blood tank, sounds like your messing up somewhere in your skill usage. also what presence do you use while tanking?

I have played blood for a long time and even with full 251 gear i never had a problem with holding aggro in 25 raids with people doing over 20k dps.
You must be doing something wrong.
