The COMPLETE WoW Guide to Tanking in The War Within

[@Teapotion2]

You are the absolute best content creator for tanks in my opinion. Your comprehensive and eloquent videos really helped me during DF and what you do for the tanking community is a godsend

[@JustAChannel11631]

Jeez, I'm playing WoW for 12 years and it's most complete and detailed guide I ever saw. GG

[@Mahesh_239]

I use your plater profile. It greatly helped me progressing in M+ keys. Thanks Quazii!

[@ILovePie53]

it's completely outdated and bugging my quest tab on side to vanish.

[@incronaut]

The actual goat. Well done! You even explain kiting during the movement section!

[@NateM13]

As 3400io player it amazes me when I still learn things from all your videos... Thanks again for all the countless hours you spend understanding and learning things only to pass them on

[@Average_Brad]

Quazii out here doin' The Light's work once again :P

[@zadeofazeroth]

Quazii your channel is the only one that matters. I can't begin to tell you how much all of you addon profiles and advice have helped me in M+. Thank you.

[@robertstetson7628]

I can't tell you how many times I have wanted to find a video like this to help someone start tanking, now to post this link in every discord I am in!

[@elsn1p33r4]

As a tank m+ enjoyer who very rarely do raid, i didnt know about the co-tank weakaura and always struggled to know my co-tank stacks. Thanks for letting me know !

[@PoliticalyOK]

Out of all the channels I’ve ever used as a resource for wow info and guides yours is easily the most useful. Absolutely loving your videos this expac.

[@yesteryearr]

As a healer, I want to add in, if you are going for a big pull and you are running around the room pulling everyone while getting damaged, make sure you are actively getting aggro from them... Because if you are running back to the group with medium to low health and expecting me to health you, know that as soon I pop that first heal, I will have the entire room on my weak ass. I don't run into these kinds of tanks TOO much, but enough that I feel like I need to say something. Build aggro while pulling.

[@SammyBammy813]

Since 90% of mythic tanks are ProtPal right now, they “should” BoP you so you can rip those heals. But very well said and tough for the unfortunate bDK and VDH

[@azamat9378]

Your videos must be the most helpful, in-depth guide content I have ever seen. Thank you so much for doing this.

[@R00kz]

As someone who's played WoW on and off since beta, this has to be the most comprehensible and concise injection of tank knowledge I've ever watched. Thank you for the effort you put into making these great guides. Truly something to bookmark, and come back to as someone's tank knowledge improves as well as a great foundation in the correct mindset to have. Awesome stuff!

[@TopicxWoW]

This is unbelievable. Quazii is out here making MOVIES. Actually emerging as the GOAT of WoW content.

[@HappiKite123]

Thank you for your video! I have recently came back to wow and decided to change role from long range dps to tanking. This video is very helpful to this taunting change ❤

[@MasonC2K]

You are a top tier teacher. I don't care if you are the best tank or not. You are easily the best at imparting your knowledge. I don't care that you mispronounce word. It's part of your charm! Please keep doing what you are doing!

[@bribriblibli]

I can’t thank you enough for this video. Never played Wow retail and only played sod but first time tanking. You have covered everything that a newbie like me would need. Thank you so so much!!! Time to put it in practice!!!

[@ceeK2]

I've been tanking for awhile but I learned something new in this video. Before I knew it 1 hour 50 minutes had passed! Really great video, thanks

[@axorial7643]

I’ve been following you since DF season 3, and that’s the best thing related to World of Warcraft that I’ve done. You taught me so much about tanking and made my game life so much more enjoyable with all your profiles etc. I’ve said it multiple times in other videos, but again thank you for all that you do, you’re amazing.

[@BigMadCheese]

I've been tanking for years but I still decided to give this video a watch. Even a master must hone the basics in order to stay relevant. I will probably incorporate some of your awesome UI into my game. Clean, efficient and just beautiful. Great video, you got yourself another sub from me!

[@TheNotoriousV.F.D]

As a returning tank to the game my mythic+ team thanks you. I learned alot.

[@GHIBaal]

To all Tanks starting out in TWW. Yes you will fck up ! And get Criticism ! And that is perfectly normal. Always remember you are not the one Role waiting 10min in Queue, ;)

[@holgerpfand9473]

I´m not sure if I got u right there. Are you trying to validate people flaming new tanks immediately after mistakes because they had to wait longer?^^

[@Drakendor123]

@@holgerpfand9473 bruh i think he's saying nobody gives a shit about flamers, and that the joke's on them that neither them nor anyone has the balls to play a role with responsibilities, so they sit in their queue nest waiting to get fkin carried. it's the truth

[@holgerpfand9473]

Alright, hoped so^^

[@InFlamezGaming]

This helps❤

[@Alex11554]

Best WoW content creator by far! Thank you for all that you do for us, Q!

[@16Rood]

thank you so much for this. Ive been a casual for my whole wow life and decided to challenge myself this next xpac. Looked through lots of videos explaining m+ and tanking mechanics but your content is BY FAR the best. Again, thank you so much :)

[@HiJayWasHere]

Amazing depth in this guide. Your accent reminds me of Singapore Armed Forces trainers. Listening to you is bringing up many memories

[@HurricaneSparky]

My best friend picked up WoW right at the end of 10.1.5. She hit level 70 on a Prot Paladin without ever learning what an interrupt, CC, mitigation, or cooldowns were. It's painful how little the in-game teaches players expected skills for getting started. I don't think she's ready to tank keys, yet, but I've been coaching her on raids. I'm still trying to get her off of clicking, but I've taught her interrupts, mitigation, situations when she needs to use a cooldown, taunt swaps, trackers, and the importance of positioning. She's got a long way to go, but your guides have helped.

[@ScorpionP2C]

Even as someone that doesnt tank (or rather hasnt in a long time) this was invaluable and interesting. Master class indeed, well done sir!

[@elliottbailey4027]

Amazing effort, love it and can’t wait to start tanking!!

[@galdahar9230]

incredibly valuable, I don't make content but if i was going to, this is the video I wanted to make, but you did better than I ever could. Shared it with the guild. Cheers mate, thanks

[@Wahtel]

Wow, that's an incredible guide, thank you so much!

[@billy0936]

Amazing vid. Starting over and taking notes 😊🎉

[@yazan80]

I love your content brother. I’ve played wow for soon 19 years and I still learned new stuff.

[@lexzbuddy]

That talent tip on comparing profiles is brilliant!

[@xX_Zieva_Xx]

Thanks so much Quazii, you've helped me so much with tanking - learning both the fundamentals and the subtly of tanking :) I appreciate you and your videos!

[@Naktara99]

Thank you for all your efforts, the only channel that matter for me!!!

[@billmackinaw9254]

Thanks for the amazing overview on tanking and the WA suggestions!!!

[@acerimmer9894]

Amazing tanking guide loves it great work mate

[@GeneralJackVRU]

still a legend of making tank guide videos

[@XeroRon]

Excellent guide. Time well spent!

[@RavenKingsg]

I'm listening to this guide while i'm at work ... and now I feel like taking leave just to play WoW ... thanks ah bro @Quazii ;D

[@xanthra]

Thanks! I volunteered to tank in TWW and have not done so for MANY expansions so this is exactly what I needed!

[@TheSupernastee]

you the best Quazii. I love your guides, but I love your mindset coaching more

[@TayrezGaming]

Best Tank guide ever! Thank you for everything!

[@aroshley4348]

nearly 2 hours, such a legend holy

[@timlind3129]

Props to you; this is a solid video and learned a few things!

[@grouchyseaotter]

Thanks Quazii! You've inspired me to tank in TWW and beyond with your videos. Keep it up!

[@mmsky6316]

Thank you for sharing all your knowledge and experience with us. You've given this padawan her tanking boots :)

[@mahatmaandi2347]

Fantastic video :) I am going to show this every person who ever mentioned trying out to be a tank^^

[@Evo_Me]

MY MAN MAKING HISTORY WITH THIS MASTERCLASS

[@nako9001]

Ty quaazi i wanted to main a tank in WW! So this comes at a perfect moment😊

[@TheActualKingSmith]

Wow. Dope video. Love the humor too.

[@johnrhodes5822]

Hot dang Quazii, you really put in the work. Keep it up man!

[@Marshal_Dunnik]

And don't forget to tell DPS to wait for 3 Sunders on the boss before attacking. Jokes aside, Quazii's Plater module showing threat is new to me and is obviously very useful. Overall this is probably the one and only tanking guide you will need. Covers all the bases in thorough detail. A true masterclass in tanking.

[@zetrovv]

Thanks Quazzi! Haven't watched all of it but man this video is super informative and helped man!

[@marcgalang2004]

bro, your videos are so good as always. Keep up the good work my guy. God bless.

[@21Komtur]

Thank you Quazii

[@mrj5202]

Absolutely amazing. Great Job! I appreciate it 🙏🏻

[@HectorPflaume]

i love this channel, always has the video that i need

[@theduncanthetank]

Tanking lets you group fast and control the flow of the dungeons for sure.Its a lot of responsibility because you need to know the dungeon layouts, effective mob count and how much you can pull BUT I will say healers have the most raw stress role. Theres nothing better in WoW than when you just mesh with your healer well and have those perfect dungeon runs. It’s so good.

[@Vivapalestinas]

I’ve always wanted to get into tanking so here we go watching every second of this

[@gohomehero]

In DF tanking is the most brain dead role. Its like playing DPS but you're invincible. However blizz is trying to make changes to make it feel better in TWW. Hoping they pull it off.

[@Telados]

@@gohomehero Man's playing lfr and heroic dungeons and thinks he knows his shit

[@gohomehero]

@@Telados Good one dude. But you'll be ok. Hope you enjoy the changes as much as I do.

[@Telados]

@@gohomehero I don't mind making tanks a bit weaker, but they basicly killed blood dk if they leave deathstrike that way

[@gohomehero]

​@@Telados I feel like theres definitely some really fun ways they can make DKs abilities work in a more balanced system. I am a huge fan of sustain style mechanics but I think combat in WoW has just outpaced itself and they need to reel it in. The nature of WoW is to always push things further and get stronger and stronger. But the tide has gotta recede sometimes or we would all drown. Complaining about it is good tho, we need that to tell blizz what we want. Just gotta keep it classy

[@adityasihag4]

Of course you need to backpaddle, example in raid encounters spawn pools, like the fire add on mythic druid boss in vault (fire add), n in larodar in amidrassil mythic

[@wileycoyote7094]

Thanks once again Quazii. The addon and WA's are super useful, I just wish Plater didn't have such a trainwreck of a UI as it's super powerful for visual information on the screen.

[@quaziiwow]

thank you in return for your support

[@sc0p3B0y1]

great guide, how about a guide like that for raid tanking? Would love that

[@GrappIer]

When it comes to learning tanking there is no other videos out there that are in the same stratosphere as yours.

[@Sinuvil]

i love how you have such a harsh accent yet i understand every single word, it baffles me every time :D ty for that Guide Quazii

[@TheArtdk]

Hey Quazii As a Pug tank that loves running m+ for the power of team work, you make the best content, BIG respect Cant wait for your follow up on the tank changes, that might not be as hard /kite meta as you feared.. Do you have a video that can show a effective way as a pug tank to management interup/kick for the party

[@roenen1]

Amazing, as always.

[@Saiezyn]

I agree with maybe 85% while there is a right way to do most basic things some things you can change and do your way as long as it is effective

[@nooked23]

THANK YOU!

[@nodent]

I use your plater profile and have been for quite a while now. What I never see is the health bar of a mob look like a barber pole (2 tone diagonal stripes)

[@mannelqt]

Amazing vid, thank you ❤

[@Jiiimmie]

I would love a cloth tank. A tank that uses a mana shield instead of a massive hp pool. Think of a Knight enhancer or what they are called in DA inquisition. It would be really hard to get working in wow but it would be really cool and something new and fresh.

[@kikoredog]

THANK YOU!!!

[@kikoredog]

OMEGA GIGA DAMAGE

[@YateriaKurosawa]

started tanking in wow fairly recently as i main tank in Final fantasy 14. i know basic of tanking but i dont know the dungeons. yesterday i had a evoker in my group who was screaming in chat for me to pull bigger(yet i know i wouldn't survive any bigger pulls) so i said i cant take the damage and continued doing my pulls already. this evoker then decided to rescue me into big groups of mobs which in turn got us all wiped because i couldnt take all the damage outside of my metamorphosis form and i also wasnt mentally prepared for big pulls. i wish you could turn off being rescued by the evoker

[@Hairypsalms]

Unfortunately, patience is not a strong suit of wow players.

[@oskartu12]

MDT and planning routes has to be the biggest turn off for me:( I enjoy tanking in heroics and stuff but the thought of wiping everyone cuz i pulled 1 too many mob into ppl leaving the group holds me back. Insane guide though♡

[@Eyad.k2]

Quazii is goat as always

[@Joyce-Raven]

Did you cover a masterclass for each tanking class? I would be really intrested in this. Love your videos!

[@leiny5421]

He has masterclasses on a lot of specs, but I think I would wait until his TWW guides because certain classes and the tank role overall is changing alot.

[@Einfach_Schmaik]

only 124k subs?.. this man should've 1m++

[@BigDaddyWes]

There is one thing you can do when your DPS doesn't understand how threat works.... Teach them.

[@soulnemesis2793]

Nowadays most players are just toxic, i wish more people thought like you, teach people to be better instead of expecting everyone to know it all

[@felixforschner2572]

when is the intelligence tank coming?

[@Naughty-Carlos]

Is it viable to quest and level as a tank? Or should you switch to fury/arms?

[@RhinoTheHamster400]

G'day Quazil got a question is there a way to "link" the group selection numbers/colors of Mythic Dungeon tools with plater? so for example when you have a route saved on MDT addon that information from MDT gets applied to plater so when your in a dungeon the mobs in said could have number next to the bars or be a set color for each pull. Just an idea on using a color or number code to know what to pull without the need of a second monitor. Thanks for all the content you create

[@linelinnea2248]

hey can you put into comment your focus interupt macro please?

[@lexzbuddy]

We had a mage that pulled agro all the time on boss pull and died all the time right at the start of the fight. It was kinda funny but he was so self obsessed he just couldn't get why it was him letting everyone else down. He always blamed the tank too.

[@xxxxspidermanxxxx]

can somebody tell me please how the weakaura calls that tell me how much mana my healer has?

[@Gemazarus]

Hey, Quazii, thanks for the video, as a 2.8ish k tank, I found lots to learn here. I love the boss ability list you showed during the addon section for Sludgefist. May I please ask what that is?

[@davidandressosaparra4890]

Hi awesome guide and excellent work mate, I’m using ur ElvUi profile but I can’t change color clases on my gp, can u explain to me how to do it? Thank you in advance, all the best !

[@Siegfriedz55]

sir please make a guide elvui floating combat text , i see add ons on wow up thanks

[@gazzam3172]

Brilliant ,but surely when you have aggro they should all be red? When i was watching before you explained the colour thing, i was confused at what was going on, maybe its just me :)

[@nivthefox]

I miss Frost DK tank. :(

[@zazikel1885]

DKs have three resources: runic power, runes, and bone shield charges.

[@lSuXeRl]

hi guys, can i ask how did you set enemy HP bar different color for caster and melee mob? i am using plater addon i cannot see that there..thanks for any advice

[@quaziiwow]

Covered this in my plater video - check the description of that. Simple dropdown menu (:

[@gunnarK-j4w]

Great timing w/ this video now that blizz just nerfed tanks and will drive most of them away from the role lol

[@Jason_g_kennedy]

A fly hit my enhance shaman, one shot me. So i now tank a pally.

[@vikkimg5986]

GooD ViD 😎👍

[@robertegan2155]

Another great video but I have a fairly major problem with the title of the video. It should really be the COMPLETE guide for ALL classes performing mythics or something like that. The reason is that there are plenty of DPS and healer classes that do not understand kiting and line of sighting etc. I'm a healer main and watch every tanking video you do. So many DPS I have seen just let loose the fireball and forget as soon as the tank enters the room and then cry when they wipe

[@Icarus-l8z]

Quazii is God

[@Gleamings]

FUCK YEAH! Magnum Opus

[@Данила-е3п1ф]

23:40 "it's not your fault that dps doesn't know how threat is works" man, if only they even trying to have that thought wow would be a little greater place to play)

Don't worry, it's gonna be worse in War Within 🥰
