Blood DKs got the advantage that they have a really easy time picking mobs up. The dot usually is enough to keep aggro when you pull them. This way you can constantly keep moving forward and get through the dungeon fast even while being the slowest tank.

speed tanking is fine if the tank makes death balls. but what usually happens is they pull all the casters and don't stack them. I find speed tanking is the longest way to do a dungeon.

It's interesting how strong Blood dks become with these new tiers. This was mentioned in the previous video about ego. It kind of comes with a blood tank tbh. The higher you gear the more you begin to just do what you want. I have been soloing mythics alone without any buffs, with 890. I usually don't even ress the healer when they die during a boss fight, because again... Ego. But either way it's only during fun times. Speed tanking is fun, but just becareful you will end up getting your group killed while you stand there killing everything.

One thing I've been doing lately is trying to push the limits of my pulling. For example I was running a regular mythic Maw, pulled fairly large packs and was doing well up until I pulled most of the trash right after the scythe boss....those bone chilling screams made that pull last about 5 times longer as the group couldn't interrupt them all. Knowing what the trash does and what can be hard to handle is essential and I learned a lesson. Get in there and experiment. You'll fuck up plenty doing stuff like this but eventually you'll learn exactly what you are capable with.
@havtor0078 жыл бұрын
it is not the screams that made the run long it is the 5 AOE and single target healers you might have picked up with the scream.
@EliteRocketBear8 жыл бұрын
Know who is in your groups, know what tools you have available, know what the trash does. First time I had that same pull was because the hunter barraged the entire top of the boat, and it made the trash so long. But whenever I have a Balance druid in my group, or at least 2 aoe stuns and the dps is high, the entire lane up until the miniboss is pulled, I ask them beforehand to save their solar beam for the healers in the deathball to cast their heal. I tank them in the solar beam and everything dies before it runs out. As a blood DK, I have the luxury of Gorefiend's grasp and death grip to make a nice and tight death ball. That's also the moment I wait until I have all my CDs to pump out the highest dps/absorbs. Dancing Rune Weapon with Vampiric blood gets insane damage and absorption shield from Umbilicus Eternus. Using AMS before the fear cast lands prevents application of the fear. It's just a question of risk analysis. You need to know what you can get away with, and what you cannot get away with.

As a healer myself, I would normally ask you to "slow down a little." Most tanks do, which is cool. I don't mind a speed run tank, but don't want anyone to die, and if the group doesn't have the dps, the tank should see that and slow down (but not all of them do). Love the tank vids, Preach, might give it a try. But certainly looking forward to the healer vids.
@Bannockburn1118 жыл бұрын
The main things I would like to mention is that some people are doing quests and need to pick up items on the way. And some people are new to a dungeon and need to follow the people ahead of them. The latter doesn't matter in most dungeons, but some dungeons do actually have a choice and the one you think is obvious might not be to someone else. Of course these things are usually done in normal level, and learning a dungeon should absolutely be done in normal level (if you are pugging), so they don't apply as much to Heroic and higher. And, PLEASE, if you do this, be sure you can actually do without the healer and dps. If you are speed-tanking and die because you aren't getting heals, well, that's on you, not the healer, and no one will appreciate the almost certain wipe. This will all really be solved by following Preacher's golden rules - be aware of your other players and check your ego at the door - I just wanted to emphasize them.

Talent based. Tanks always have way more nebulous rotations that they swap around mid fight depending on current needs - resources, damage, healing etc. Beyond maintaining shield block for melee attacks and using ignore pain to use up extra rage, everything is your decision based on what's happening in the fight and what talents you have.

Melee dps actually don't take a lot of damage there. Scorpion ember swipe is easily avoided. And it's the Frenzy that really causes the heavy group damage, and that tends to prioritize ranged and healers. Same with the jagged throw from the trappers. DPS's job to stun that frenzy, interrupt Bound cast of the trappers. Easy. Quite managable even in mythic+ up to 9, if you got dps that know what they're doing.

Hey preach! Holla balla to you good sir!! I've been tanking since mid 2007... And what you've said in this tanking series is absolutely invaluable for those people who would like to learn how to tank... But one thing I noticed is that you didn't mention anything about one of the cool things you can do as a tank due to "line of sight" and bring the trash to your DPS so they don't have to worry about "stand here so you don't pull the stuff over there due to aggro radius" I just find it super helpful when I can use LOS to bring the trash to the DPS so you can position the damage dealers without having to tell the pugs where to stand because you know they won't listen to you because in the pug world, tanks know nothing and are stupid dumb dumbs so I don't have to listen to them. Just thought I'd mention it because you only said line of sight to discount a bad healer... But you can also use LOS to your advantage to finish quicker due to fewer wipes because now the DPS isn't pulling the whole fuckin room due to standing in the wrong place... Because you know pugs will always stand in the wrong place lol

Sorry to say Preach, but you kind of failed to achieve what you were going for with this series. You tried to debunk the whole "ilvl gate" that people "self impose" in the pug world, yet you did anything that pugs require high ilvl for on stream. Forming a "pug" group from your viewers for Karazhan and running +9s at lower ilvls by getting people from your stream to run it with you instead of pugging it. Instead of going to the "pug world" you did what you would normally do, but with viewers instead of guildies. If you want to truly debunk this theory, you must attempt to do this on an anonymous character with 0 help from your internet fame.

theredfox22 My issue wasn't him doing the +9 at a low ilevel, it's the fact that he wanted to debunk the "ilvl gate" and instead just used his viewers instead of guildies and bypassed it. If he can find a group running a +9 that accepts a 854 (i believe that was his ilvl, maybe a little off) without using viewers/guildies/friends and runs it to get a 2 chest run then I'll eat my words, the "ilvl gate" isn't some self imposed confidence complex, it's caused by the "pug world" wanting to never fail by so vastly over gearing content their mistakes mean nothing.

Wang Dang Sweet Poon Tang Comedic exaggeration gone wrong. What do you like in your tanks - satisfying clanks with a damage report like "-200k(300k blocked)" or more to the end of contributing to your own healing and just having a permanent damage reduction buff? Warriors have fantastic mobility - both a targeted leap for precision positioning and a charge with rage gen to capitalise on and nullify knockaways. Their mitigation is satisfying and requires planning and forethought to really use properly. Some find the fantasy of flat warrior without any magic elements boring, though. Paladins are downright fantastic for inventive strategies. BoP the physical debuff from xavius off your off tank to help resynchronise nightmare infusion with dream. Replace with spellwarding to immune new applications of necrotic in mythic+ without dropping aggro, blessing of sacrifice your off tank to use up your accumulating absorbs, spellward the damage from the link on Elerethe to pull spiders across the room without fear of either link damage or poison from the adds themselves. Ardent defender on Odyn to straight up cheat death on the stormforged spear and continue damaging without leaving his side. And finally, always remember that final stand is now a talent worth orgasming over. However, their main mitigation mechanics are extremely dull. There are all these factors and a few more gameplay wise to consider. Hope it helped a little :)

Slow is smooth, smooth is fast.

that's an incredibly stupid sentence that reduces down to slow = fast... good job.

Why be slow and smooth when you can be fast and smooth? The point of casual speed tanking is that you're just playing in the way that your gear level allows. The alternative would be to never improve anything about your runs as you start to completely overgear them.

karlzone2 How about doing harder runs? :P But you know what? If you like speed tanking, then you go ahead and do it, I'm not gonna tell other people what to do or not to do. xD I find speed tanking to be pointless, because I don't think you'll ever be in a situation where you just need to finish a dungeon in under 10 minutes or so, otherwise you wouldn't have started that dungeon. All speed tanking ever did in my experience, was create chaos and make the healer and damage dealers have to work harder to clean the tank's mess. I'm sure there's the good, cleaner kind of speed tanking as well, but if u can pull 1-2 packs in the same place and then clear them in a few seconds then proceed, how is that slower than pulling everything while running so the dps can't properly do aoe damage? The time lost running between targets and doing st damage instead of pure aoe more than compensated for the time taken for breaks of 2 or so seconds in between pulls. Afterall, you can speed tank as much as you like, but if you don't have dps capable of dealing with it you're not gonna have a faster run.

I'm sorry but I fail to see how Preach and ( I'm making an assumption here ) other tanks don't see how this is inherently egotistical. Yeah, it's all well and good when a tank enters into the dungeon and is over geared enough to get away with this, but what if your healer isn't? Or your dps aren't? I just feel it's arrogant to make that decision for the four other people in the run with you. Kudos to Preach having the skill to do that and not put his group through hell, but not every tank can lol.

That is why his disclaimer at the end is important. And you are completly correct in that many are going to do this without the skillset to do it

Imo, I miss the times where dungeon took a while. Like, having to do CC, mana breaks etc. I was hoping that was what M+ were going to be, not just speed runs, but same dungeon but harder, bigger numbers, more stuff to watch out for. You have the extra stuff you have to watch out for, but the timing thing....ehhh, don't really like. I enjoyed the Vanilla, TBC and start of Wotlk model the best.

That dungeon is fucking shit for skipping trash.. on a hunter you have to dismiss you pet or you can't hug the walls and get past. Then obviously I get even further behind cos I have to stop and cast that. I generally heal and love a good speedy tank unless I am on a toon just hit 110 and they pull so much that I can't heal the aoe damage to dps (and of course the tank needs to sort themselves out) and of course can't stop and drink either. lol

Great guide! Definitely gonna show it if I'll introduce someone to tanking. Not sure if you mentioned one very important thing about positioning in tanking - it is that you should NEVER let mobs be behind you, because that increases damage income significantly. When I'm gathering mobs to let group aoe cleave them, I'm always in constant motion because these sons of b...ches always trying to sneak behind my back : ( I believe that is another reason why new tanks are taking so much damage (aside from not using and tracking damage mitigation spells)
