The Ultimate Mythic+ Tanking Guide (WoW: Dragonflight)

Episode 2: • The Ultimate M+ Pug Ta...
This video is a guide for players who want to tank mythic plus dungeons but are struggling where to start. I go over how to practicing tanking, as well as the fundamentals of tanking in M+ Dungeons. I also point out extremely useful addons and weakauras that massively improve the tanking experience and will let you start hardcarrying dungeons quicker. Note that this is just a starting point, there are lots of different ways to start tanking and lots of different ways to tank, period. Tanking is not mathematically driven like DPS, you can freely play in a way that you just simply FEEL is better. As long as you're living and timing the keys and having fun, that is what is important. Cheers!
Currently, the best dungeons to solo practice (Patch 10.0.7: 4/11/2023)
- You can pretty much walk into any mythic 0 in dragonflight to test. They all have pretty hard hitting mobs and they all have things to interrupt so it's a matter of personal preference. Ruby Life Pools, Brackenhide Hallow and Algethar Academy are my favorites to test in.
In terms of Keystones
- Shadowmoon Burial grounds has a lot of decently hard hitting, trash at the start, especially a lot of aoe.
- Ruby Life Pools entrance has LOTS of hard hitting trash.
- Nokhud you can fly to any of the boss areas and kill 100 types of mobs.
- Court of Stars is also pretty open-concept to pull a lot of varying mobs by yourself.
The exact AUTO MARKER CODE shown in the video broke on the launch of Dragonflight, the pinned comment and replies have been updated to reflect the new working code. Installing the code still remains the same and it all still has the same function. Automarker still is working as of 4/11/2023.

THE AUTO MARKER CODE IS HERE. KZbin doesn't let you put angled brackets in the descriptions of videos. put this string in details -> Auto run Code -> On Init: local b=ActionButton8 _MH=_MH or(b:SetAttribute("*type1","macro")or SecureHandlerWrapScript(b,"PreClick",b,'Z=IsShiftKeyDown()and 0 or(Z or 0)%8+1 self:SetAttribute("macrotext1","/wm [nomod]"..Z)'))or 1 And this is the macro, I personally use F5 as the bind for this /cwm [mod] all /click ActionButton8 **Dragonflight 10.0 Broke this, this comment was edited on 11/11/2022 to the new code that is working at the time of this edit. Ty to ben0x539 for helping make it work once again. Make sure to reload your UI after setting it up.

[@Andy-nc4by]

Wondering is it possible to change the script to mouseover instead of click, Awesome tool though had 5 keybinds for markers and played with this for 1 day...massive!

[@notSachy]

@Andy Here's a version that works as a mouseover (no mouse click required) when you hit the keybind you put the macro on. Thanks to Syel for requesting and ben0x539 for fixing it in the pre-patch 10.0 local b=ActionButton8 _MH=_MH or(b:SetAttribute("*type1","macro")or SecureHandlerWrapScript(b,"PreClick",b,'Z=IsShiftKeyDown()and 0 or(Z or 0)%8+1 self:SetAttribute("macrotext1","/wm [nomod,@cursor]"..Z)'))or 1 Put this part in details, the macro remains the same. Remember to reload UI. Updated 11/11/2022 for Dragonflight Pre-Patch

[@lukaspichler1264]

could it be that after the prepatch its not working any more? Because before the prepatch it worked for me. I check and details still has the auto run code

[@fabiusque4266]

I honestly dont know why I never thought about the "go into a dungeon, pull a group and practice tanking" thing, its such an insanely good idea. I always wanted to play a tank, I level 1-2 every expansion but due to being afraid to actually tank relevant stuff, never continue and just go back to my healing classes. Thank you for this very nice video, it helped me a lot!

[@MandatoryHashTags]

I switched from healing to tanking in WOD. I understand the fear thing, just remember this tanking in itself is actually easier than healing. Just be honest with a group you're new everyone has to learn.

[@philipp4067]

[@Glockenkopfwow]

This is the best breakdown of a roles task, I've ever watched. To be honest it's one of my fav videos of any WoW-Conent, period. Its detailed, calm and steady explainations, not to much not to little and all the topics are relevant. I love how you focus on the player/role-aspect and not conclude that any kind of Specc is relevant for beeing good at tanking. I think thats the most critical pov, I hope lots of puggers are watching this video, I'd love this to have the result, that ppl understand that a "meta-tank" isnt relevant on a +20 or smth low like that. GG Mate!

[@reedschadegg9023]

Excellent video, agree with pretty much everything you have in here and this is an excellent guide for new players looking to get into tanking or even just those new to tanking. Was a couple of things I wanted to add: 9:05 agree with most of this but wanted to highlight that there ARE pulls you will want to LOS the pack back, make sure your group knows and use your aoe at a choke to tag them all before they reach the group. 10:03 when there are ranged adds generally there are two or more, grab the melee to one ranged caster mob and interrupt its cast and drag it and the melee mobs to another ranged. The interupt will lock their spell casting forcing them to follow you for a few sec and should be enough to get them to another ranged mob. 10:58 here you say to pull singular bosses and mini bosses with taunt. While you definitely want to taunt them as the dps start opening up you want to do the actual pull with an instant cast dmg ability and THEN taunt, this will give you initial threat, which taunt does not, and it will give you more time to build that threat under taunts forced aggro while dps are blowing their CDs. 16:19 Blizzards archaic threat and aggro system. Yes it is archaic, how ever it is how the game works and unfortunately it seems a lot of working knowledge of how that system works seems to have been lost. While I dont expect an avg player to understand threat it is of use to know some of these things: Taunting will force aggro to you for 3 seconds AND grant you an amount of threat equal to the threat of the mobs current aggro target. ( on pull this is 0 because it has no target ) -This allows "steal" healer threat or a trigger happy dps threat. It also means in a two tank scenario (raiding) that the tank losing aggro can easily steal aggro back leaving you in a bad situation and with your taunt on CD, both tanks need to understand this. Taking aggro happens at 110% threat for players in melee ranged and 130% for players at ranged. -This can cause a ranged player to INSTANTLY pull aggro if they enter melee or you drag mobs on top of them. hopefully this wasnt to much of a word salad, and once again this was a very well thought out and articulated video imo.

[@andreasjonsson1979]

I think this video just won me over to tanking again. I really like the warrior playstyle but tanking PUG's when coming back rusty from a break and facing toxic players is discouraging. However, now I think I will give it a go, thanks for an awesome video, you just got a sub!

Yea this video took a LOT of redoing and rewriting to get to this result, glad you liked it!

[@EA-fh2ul]

I LOVE your first tip. For me that 'solo practice' experience was mage tower on my fresh guardian, and it was quite good to make myself familiar with defensive and utility toolkit, but it's still quite far away from a typical m+ environment, and I won't recommend tank mage tower for someone with 0 tanking experience. The solo exercise that you propose looks times and times more valuable than steamrolling that same +10/15 on a fresh alt with a group of 300 ilvl DPS when you can't even figure what's happening. When necrotic week is over, I'm definitely doing that exercise on my pally!

[@notSachy]

yes!! I would not be able to roll as many alts as I do without this exercise. The reason I began doing this is cuz my friend groups run keys at really odd times, so usually when I want to play a new alt they just want to get score. So I started doing this so that I can practice my new alts even if I'm the only one online, and then when we wanna push a key I can bring my suspiciously low item level alt that I'm now comfy playing. The junkyard in this clip as bear druid, I was around 239 item level at the time, was my first key as bear ever haha Really was a bad idea trying to do it on necrotic week tho, it was HARD. Got clever at kiting tho!

[@NerdrageHockey]

In the beginning of the expansion I was using Torghast for this and the great part is that I could scale based on level. And I have 1 of every tank spec albeit my drood is a healer.

[@nikroth]

Amazing job !!! Thank you !!!

[@notSachy]

Thank you too!

[@Achonas]

the solo practice thing is kinda similar to how I learned to tank better. When i started tanking in cata, I also started to try soloing old content. stuff from old expansions, and early current xpac content. doing that helped me figure out how to tank better i think. One thing I know for sure forced me to get better was the brawler's guild. especially the super hexagon eye boss. That was what got me to finally stop clicking my abilities manually and focus more on what's happening around me

[@Testifiable]

Actually solid first tip. I've never heard that before, I'm kinda tempted to do that, but would need to find a key first!

[@notSachy]

Go talk to the keystone trader next to the vault! If you have ever done a key this expansion he’ll give you at least a +2. Not much but it’s somewhere to start!

[@stephenshoihet2590]

When I started tanking I did a couple of things that really helped, I started soloing more and more difficult dungeons to work on my survivability and to learn routes/pulls I started healing dungeons first to find out how everyone preferred to do them and then when I was familiar with them, I started tanking them. Doing some bgs as a tank can help you work on your mobility and survivability too. I also soloed a lot of dungeons at high level to learn them and then went back and ran them on a lower level character when I was levelling alts. Healing is pretty easy, you just follow 4 people around and in normal dungeons it's pretty easy to keep them alive unless they do stuff that's unreasonably dumb 🙂 back in BC I used to off spec heal all the time 😆

[@Shosara]

as a old-as-fuck player that tanked since daoc in 2001 and just got back into wow after sitting out shadowlands for... the same reasons many people did... i have to say this is a great guide. most of it was well known to me personally (but great for new tanks) but some of the stuff even gave me new ideas and inspiration on how to go about tanking ( especially the auto marker code is much appreciated! ) cheers mate and keep going, great quality content, well edited and narrated, all in all just good stuff!

[@miguelherrera7391]

I'm a new player and want to get into tanking but really I'm afraid of messing up on heroic dungeons, this was quite the boost in condifence

[@This_handle_is_not_available.]

Great video, my only problem with tanking is having to cope with the extra weight from the role that doesn't give any extra reward, it's an effort other roles simply don't need to care about so in my mind I'm always thinking "I really like tanking, but why should I spend my time and effort tanking m+ when I can just smash my head against the keyboard as a dps putting minimum effort and still get the same rewards"

[@notSachy]

I think it helps to hold your groups to higher standard, but not a higher standard than your own play. The end to the suffering is to keep adding good players as friends until eventually you have a small community of gamers to play with. Also when you start getting really good, even if you have to pug, you can pull like an absolute hooligan. Imo doing an extreme pull and surviving and topping meters is worth the payoff for the stress that comes with just tanking normally. Cuz at the end of the day, DPS overall is affected by a bad tank and a healer's entire experience is affected by bad-everyone, but as tank your entire performance is almost always in your total control - ofc people can body pull and miss boss mechanics and stuff but in 95% of situations you control your own dungeon and that freedom and power makes it well worth the pain.

[@fabuloushetero1228]

On top of that you make one mistake and the people in your group call you horrible things leave the group down your key and put you on ignore.

[@notSachy]

Then just forget them and go next ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[@Vicente.G]

@@notSachy Had a healer call me bad, dumb and kick me in LFR levelling just because I took the long way aroun a circle in azure vaults, with no mobs alive with 0 wipes. Can't take those guys seriously or else you'll lose your mind and stop tanking all together

[@ernesthader1109]

Preach has by far the best guides in WOW. I just wish he updated his videos and not quit playing. Watch his videos first to get a good summary of a dps, healing and tanking and he also has an application game on which he plays the said role. Probably the best advice he has is it's not so much in ilvl but on proper mechanics.

Once I manually clear all my markers, it continues to only mark X still. I'm also unsure of how to change the hotkey for the option.

do things like dancing rune weapon have less than 1min cd since it reduces to below that point or for the purposes of the exercise is it things that have a base cd of less than 1min?

Yep! the purpose of the 1min CD breakpoint is that you just want to use things that are up roughly every pull. So if it’s up every pull can go ahead and use it for this exercise.

I like to tank but not a big fan of all the research. I used to use Monk but no good at it anymore since the changes. DH and Bear are decent but I was thinking warrior. I like those 3 because of the DPS aspect as well. Just not sure. Advice?

[@notSachy]

Warrior is turbo strong on prepatch, but I’d try Vengeance again if I were you. If you haven’t played it since the new talents dropped it’s VERY fun

[@notSachy]

idk anything about new prot pala, and blood dk has also had some positive changes that feel very fun to me

[@lukaspichler1264]

I think you forgot to add the code for the worldmarkers in the description but good video

[@notSachy]

It’s in the pinned comment. Description is nearing character limit but I’ll try to condense stuff and fit it in 😅 EDIT: characters in the code aren't allowed in youtube descriptions, such as angled brackets

[@inmysoul7]

Torghast is a good place to START learning some basic things for your tank. And gather resources at the same time.

[@knfbnny]

This is great as well, especially m+ diversity of pull sizes and damage types I love this one!

[@jurgenbuntinx1]

Zephyrindark is a prot paladin tanking 20, without a healer 4 dps

[@Layerlol]

Ive pvped my entire life and got to 2400 in arenas, PvP on wow has gotten so dull and boring now with no content that I just threw in the towel and decided to main PvE and play tank, Lvling a Blood DK planning to tank mythic + and Raids, Great video!

[@m1_neabrams132]

I might be missing something but I can't get the macro to work

[@martoche6983]

Does it really matter since no matter what dps will pull

[@fugio9170]

dont forget to update list for season 1!

[@notSachy]

done!

[@xtsu8732]

Hey! Couldd you share your UI? Thanks alot!

[@V1TNIR]

A year later and still helpful, saying any tank can do all content is huge since most (not all) of the super high end m+ runners will stand by the top of the top tiers Now I might actually start trying to run keys lmfao

[@notSachy]

Glad it’s still giving value so much later on, you might also like my new video like this 😄 a bit modernized and more nicely presented imo

[@Swoots275]

What weakauras is he using to show his spec abilities?

[@notSachy]

Hey! so with the prepatch update my entire UI is completely unplayably broken, however in this video I was using the UI made by twitch.tv/atrocity

[@JohnDoe-bo5yk]

Over reliance on cooldpwns. Man on bdk, i forget i have some of them cooldpwns tbh 😂 I wasnt gonna play dragonflight but my cousin bought me the game so i decided id get back into tanking. Blood Dk is by far the most comfortable for me, if you do fuck up, it can be punishing but very rarely does it end in a death. Gotta love being an icy, soul hungry literal tank

[@ryanwatson8996]

What is your UI that you use?

[@notSachy]

in this video i was using Atrocity UI, which is a sub perk of twitch.tv/atrocity. currently I'm using a similar package but from twitch.tv/Naowh. they are both great

[@dlear85]

came abck for DF , not played much since Legion or earlier really. Enjoying tanking but put off by the GOGOGOG game, barely get a chance to see whats going on in normals let alone Mythics

[@glennthehelper4524]

What tank is the best at pulling multiple Enemies towards Themselves and keeping Them focused on Themselves? In my eyes a true tank is selfless being a shield for Their Allies having the Enemies focused on attacking Them and taking on the pain and punishment so Their Allies don't get hurt and I want the tank that best reflects that.

[@notSachy]

Been pondering this for a while trying to think of the best answer. Current prot paladin is what you're looking for :D

[@jackass9724]

if los pulls are old then we should get rid of armor

[@martinzi3002]

How are you always doing 50k+ dps on every tank class in these clips sometimes? I’ve plugged over a hundred keys and my tanks never burst that high or in these clips you are ending pulls at 30k+??? What? Are my tanks not pressing their buttons or something?? Help

[@notSachy]

Yea idk, your tanks need help. None of my toons are particularly geared this patch is the most casual I’ve played the game in a long time all my characters are at or below heroic raid ilvl and purely from just mythic plus. I’m good but I’m by no means near the top, just a lot of people are really really bad. But we’re tryna change that 😄

[@Atrigraphy]

Is not turning your back on mobs still a thing?

[@notSachy]

Yep, but I didn’t mention it here as I felt it was already widely known. Most tanks in game now as soon as you turn your back you just instantly get critical hit and die, except for bears.

[@Atrigraphy]

@@notSachy yes, it's really basic, but you never know with all the changes all the time, so I thought I'd better ask again ^^ thanks

[@notSachy]

yea no problem, cheers!

[@WarLord18]

Thank you, I knew nothing, now I'm 🧠
