    Late to the party, but the first part where they're talking about threat, Growl makes a really good point in his fresh toon to KSM series where he really emphasizes allowing tanks to group stuff up before you start dumping healing, and even more so for DPS. One of the most annoying things pugging as a tank is people instantly ripping CDs and wondering why they get globalled before you can even drop a D&D.

    • @lucianoviana5828
      @lucianoviana5828 2 роки тому +8

      Yeah, a perfect note... and that I think they missed talking about. the higher the pull (double/triple packs) the more dps and Healer need to wait for the correct positioning thats tank is preparing (looking for). Example, spending dps CDs in the first pack of the first SD hallway while the tank is running to the third pack (or in Ardenweald DOS big pulls). if it is not a druid spamming trash with incarn there´s no other tank that can holds the agro of the first one, and it´s not easy and it will break "the formation". And most pugs doesn't understand this simple concept. "owh you have problems with agro".

      i feel like good dps inherently learn this even from just wanting to get big numbers. you want to make sure stuff stays on the tank so you dont have to waste any time/gcds on staying alive while also being able to cleave more.

      Way better now, but our onpull threat is still pisspoor even in 9.2. I've been thinking for time Blood Boil needs to be a high threat ability. It makes sense as well, boiling the enemy's blood.

    Man, the content quality you all are outputting is so insane. Is there anyway the GG org could reach out and invite some of the WoW devs who work on tanks to join these conversations? It would be fascinating to have simple theorycraft/ideology discussions like this but with them in the room. How do they feel about threat generation, how do they feel about kiting, pug communication tools (now that M+ is more solidified with the rating system), etc. -- Maybe just a pipe dream but damn that would be great content. As always though, thanks for all the work y'all are putting into these. Bangers.

    I'll also say, interview form definitely works here. There's a difference between a good coach and good player. Like these guys are the best, but there's an obvious aura like "I know my sht". Their answers are "It depends". Simply meaning they are more player minded than teaching minded. So the interview format where Drat leads the conversation definitely works here.

    Biggest tip for new tanks, go dps, get geared for tanking as much as you can, do some 15s watch what the tanks do and than switch to tank and start in lover keys again to get confident and move on from there with your own key, if you screw up than its your key so its not a big deal, and play those lower keys as it was a high key to get used to the pulls and routes :) thats what i do to just get confident and dont be in constant stress, the worse thing is to go into pug, with low gear for the key and constanly just be dead the whole key :D

    I started playing WoW around the start of season 3, roped in by the RWF SOtFO hype. I decided to play prot paladin and jump straight into M+ and everyone was surprisingly helpful and by the time I was even into double digit keys I had my own routes, flasks and so on. In the end I got my KSM within a week; so even though it might be an intimidating role, even a brand new player can get KSM with enough perseverance!

  • @simonbegoode8721
    @simonbegoode8721 2 роки тому +18

    The biggest issue for me as a tank main is that room for error is so small compared to DPS and healer. Especially on big pulls, a key level higher changes your timing of defensives and kiting, and sometimes one secod late of which might cause the tank's death and a wipe, whereas for mistakes of DPS and healer roles are less punishing. I believe tank role should be designed into a direction where tank leads the team to TIME the key (through a good positioning of mobs and routing), not to survive the key (dying because of one missed kick of shadowcore or non-stop wicked bolt).

    • @christiandasilva3590

    Love the content, some super useful tips. Biggest takeaway for new tanks: MDT is your friend. Most of the answers came down to the tank always needs a plan for what to do.
    MDT is just super useful for learning/planning out routes and one underrated feature of it is you can see mob abilities so you know exactly what you'll have to deal with in every pull.
    Once you formulate the base route and plan in MDT you can iterate CDs based on how pulls go. For instance, in Spires I've stopped using big CDs on the double spear pull to save them for the champion pack before the second boss.

    The thing that really helped me be a better tank was to just pull more aggressively. Your dps will commit more cd's throughout the run that way, and it'll end up making each pull faster and more satisfying in the long run.

      Ya but then your using a defensive type ability just to maintain threat. More damage means more threat. Threat is a big issue for tanks in the game right now. It’s not an ability issue or a legendary issue, it’s that tanks haven’t seen a threat generating buff in a long while and they are in great need of one.

    Should've also highlighted another major issues with pugs that is Line of Sight pulls. The very first pull in Spires (and few others after that too) is the prime example of how DPS and even healer usually just stand in the middle and then wonder why are they getting hit by those mobs range spells and why "tank doesn't have aggro".

    I consider a 15 a “key” in a pug, once you get to 17+, I have run into some funny characters, but with good selection and socializing, you end up with regulars that learn to work as a cohesive team.
    I keep myself at the top of my threat production, however, without 2-3 heartbeats of aggro advantage, I have had players pull an enemy off me. It is relative to their gear, I have seen a rogue go “buh-bye” after having his head caved in on a 15 because they saw my flames go up and he hit one of the other targets with CDs.
    I made a macro to brief the team about the delay needed to gather, a pull macro on which I always go at 2 and one that says “you pull it, you tank it, Bro/Sis, GG”.

    @GG WoW, one big problem I'm having recently is that my DPS are dragging on killing the last of a pack. I'll pull a healthy sized pack of mobs and the first ten or so die really fast, then the last one or two just linger on because the DPS are saving cooldowns for the next pack. Sometimes I can just pull the next group and keep moving but with some affixes it's a bad idea - necrotic, for example. How do you deal with this issue?

      The only affix that really prevents chain pulling is Bolstering. On all other weeks I will be on the next pull while there is still several mobs up from the original pull. Things like necrotic should be able to be reset while moving towards the next pull. Same with things like bursting. You`ll get a good sense of how good the DPS are at controlling stacks, and how good your healer is at dealing with stacks in the first couple of pulls, and can start pulling the next pack even with 4-5 stacks of bursting active. Just be aware that if you do pull like that, you have to be prepared to keep yourself alive, as the healer may have his work cut out keeping everyone else alive.
