So You Want To Warrior Tank In WoW Forever? — Transcript

Full transcript

1. 0:00Hey guys, I'm back with another video.
2. 0:02And today we're going to be talking
3. 0:03about tanking. And we're not going to be
4. 0:04talking about rotation or builds or
5. 0:07press this, then press that, but then
6. 0:09press this.
7. 0:10This is going to be part one of a series
8. 0:12where I take it upon myself to teach new
9. 0:14players the absolute basics of warrior
10. 0:17tanking. And eventually this series will
11. 0:19lead to rotations, builds, buttons to
12. 0:22press, talents, this items, etc. But
13. 0:25right now, we need to focus on the
14. 0:28basics. This is going to be a new player
15. 0:31and beginner-friendly tank video where I
16. 0:34talk to you about everything that comes
17. 0:35into tanking mentally. Pre-pull, your
18. 0:39groups, what happens when you have a
19. 0:41negative person in your group, what
20. 0:42happens when the run is slow, what
21. 0:44happens when your healer is
22. 0:45under-geared, what happens when you are
23. 0:46under-geared, what should you be
24. 0:48thinking before a boss pull. Anything
25. 0:50that you can think of mentally that
26. 0:52comes in with tanking a dungeon, this
27. 0:55video will cover it. I promise you, this
28. 0:57will be one of the best videos you've
29. 0:58ever watched if you're a new tank or
30. 1:00just a person that needs a refresher.
31. 1:03Now, when I stream all the time, I get
32. 1:05people in my comments saying,
33. 1:07"You know, I lost aggro on this and then
34. 1:10I started to panic.
35. 1:11I had a guy that started pulling for me
36. 1:14because I was going too slow and then I
37. 1:16started to panic. I had a healer who
38. 1:18couldn't keep me up on an AoE pack and I
39. 1:21started to panic. I couldn't hold AoE
40. 1:24threat and I started to panic." The
41. 1:26common denominator in all of that is you
42. 1:28start to panic and then eventually it
43. 1:30just keeps spiraling and then you wipe,
44. 1:33then it gets worse, then your group
45. 1:35leaves or then you get a hostile
46. 1:36teammate who's just
47. 1:39genuinely just an awful person to be
48. 1:41around. This can spiral very, very fast
49. 1:45in your head mentally. And then before
50. 1:47you know it, you're saying, "Oh, I don't
51. 1:49really want to tank anymore." Or "Oh,
52. 1:51I'm a hashtag committed DPS warrior."
53. 1:53That's not what we need and that's why
54. 1:55this video is going to help you. So,
55. 1:57let's go ahead and get started. So, in
56. 1:59the first part of this video, I really
57. 2:01just want to chat about some things that
58. 2:02you should be thinking about mentally
59. 2:04and how to gain confidence as a tank.
60. 2:06And then later in this video, we're
61. 2:08going to go over some small footage
62. 2:09breakdowns of me tanking and kind of
63. 2:12what goes through my head when I'm
64. 2:13tanking dungeons. Now, I want to be
65. 2:15clear again, this video has nothing to
66. 2:17do with buttons to press, that this this
67. 2:19[music] this talent builds rotations,
68. 2:21has nothing to do with that. This video
69. 2:23is specifically for new players who are
70. 2:26trying to gain either confidence or the
71. 2:28mental fortitude or really just the
72. 2:30knowledge of what goes into tanking
73. 2:32behind the scenes. And with that being
74. 2:35said, one of the biggest things I want
75. 2:37to talk about is you're going to make
76. 2:40mistakes and that is okay. Mistakes are
77. 2:42going to happen. I even make mistakes
78. 2:45whether it's in a raid or a dungeon or
79. 2:48while I'm on stream. You guys see me
80. 2:50make mistakes all the time. It's not
81. 2:52really about making mistakes. If you
82. 2:54want to become a better tank, the number
83. 2:56one thing you need to do is be ready to
84. 2:59act on things when [music] they go
85. 3:01south. So, my very first piece of advice
86. 3:04for you is don't worry about the
87. 3:06mistakes, don't spiral off of your
88. 3:08mistakes.
89. 3:09How are you going to act on those
90. 3:11mistakes? How are you going to act on
91. 3:12your group's mistakes and what are you
92. 3:14going to do when the situation that
93. 3:16you've created in your head either
94. 3:18pre-pull or boss pull or whatever goes
95. 3:20south? What are you going to do about
96. 3:22it?
97. 3:23Now, another piece of advice that I have
98. 3:25for you and this is something I really
99. 3:27commonly see when I meet with people in
100. 3:28one-on-one sessions or honestly just
101. 3:31watching people post me things on
102. 3:32Discord about them tanking is they go
103. 3:36into these dungeons right away and they
104. 3:37instantly feel like they have to prove
105. 3:40something or prove something to their
106. 3:41group. And honestly, as a tank new
107. 3:44experienced veteran or just relearning
108. 3:47how to tank especially as a warrior,
109. 3:49there's no reason for you to prove
110. 3:51anything.
111. 3:52Again, new tanks often enter these
112. 3:54dungeons and feel like they have
113. 3:55something to prove. Oh, I need to show
114. 3:57these guys I'm good or I need to show
115. 3:59them, you know, I'm I'm a great tank or
116. 4:02I'm an experienced tank. And that's when
117. 4:03the stupid things start to happen. You
118. 4:05start pulling too much. You start going
119. 4:07too fast. You try to match the speed of
120. 4:09like a guy that you've seen on YouTube.
121. 4:11You start taking risks and then your
122. 4:13group starts to pay for it. Because what
123. 4:15happens is not only are you not
124. 4:17experienced to be doing that, your group
125. 4:18thinks you are, so they start DPSing
126. 4:20harder. They start pulling for you. And
127. 4:22then all of the sudden, it just spirals.
128. 4:25Your goal isn't to impress the group.
129. 4:27Your goal is just to finish the dungeon
130. 4:30and find ways to keep the run clean. And
131. 4:33if that means pulling one pack at a
132. 4:34time, then do it. Do what you're
133. 4:37comfortable with and pull one pack at a
134. 4:39time.
135. 4:40Again, you are the tank. You are the
136. 4:43leader.
137. 4:44Your group will not know that you are
138. 4:45not prepared for this dungeon unless you
139. 4:47tell them. They are going to assume that
140. 4:50you know what to do, where to go. I
141. 4:52can't tell you how many times I've
142. 4:53entered a dungeon, especially in WoW
143. 4:55forever, and they instantly throw one of
144. 4:58the markers on me like a square, and
145. 5:00they just follow me around like a puppy
146. 5:01dog. If you're not prepared to do that,
147. 5:04you need to tell them. But also, it
148. 5:06should be a wake-up call for you. I know
149. 5:08it sounds silly because this is just
150. 5:10pixels, but when it comes to tanking,
151. 5:11you have the most important job in the
152. 5:14game. And if you don't take the time to
153. 5:16put in the work with getting in chance,
154. 5:18shield spikes, um picking a group that
155. 5:21helps you with AoE threat, or getting a
156. 5:23healer that you're comfortable with, a
157. 5:25class that you're comfortable with, or
158. 5:26grabbing a class that you know how they
159. 5:28use their CC, or just walking in with
160. 5:31your simply like your gear repaired. If
161. 5:33you don't put in the work to be a tank,
162. 5:36how can you expect that run to go good?
163. 5:38Your group is depending on you. Please
164. 5:41put in the work to be a decent tank.
165. 5:45Now, I promise you, this is the biggest
166. 5:48piece of advice that I'm going to give
167. 5:49you in this video if you are a new
168. 5:51player. [music]
169. 5:52If there's anything I want you to
170. 5:54remember from this video, it's what I am
171. 5:56about to say.
172. 5:57You need to learn and put it in your
173. 5:59brain. You can only control what you can
174. 6:03control. Or if I word it in another way,
175. 6:06know what you're responsible for as a
176. 6:08tank and know what you're not
177. 6:10responsible for as a tank. I literally
178. 6:13cannot give you any better advice than
179. 6:15that. Again, people come in here trying
180. 6:18to do too much or they have a toxic
181. 6:20teammate and they try to make up for it
182. 6:22by um, you know, we have a hunter just
183. 6:24pulling threat on purpose and you run
184. 6:26back and taunt it. That's only hurting
185. 6:28your performance.
186. 6:29You cannot control that. And the more
187. 6:31you cater to a player like that, the
188. 6:34more that you are getting a taken
189. 6:36advantage of, your time's getting
190. 6:37wasted, and the group is just an
191. 6:39absolute mess. So, let's go over some
192. 6:42things that you are responsible for as a
193. 6:45tank. Keeping enemies controlled,
194. 6:47keeping them together, keeping them uh,
195. 6:50you know, with the demoralizing shout,
196. 6:51thunder clap, marking things if they
197. 6:53need to be CC'd. That is in your
198. 6:55control. Positioning the mobs is in your
199. 6:58control. Managing your own survival,
200. 7:01setting the pace, and reacting to things
201. 7:04when they go wrong. Tho- Those are
202. 7:08things that are in your control. Now,
203. 7:10let's talk about things that you're not
204. 7:12responsible for or things that you
205. 7:15cannot control. And trust me, if you've
206. 7:16been watching my streams, you have seen
207. 7:18these exact type of players that I deal
208. 7:21with. And I just let it go. DPS standing
209. 7:24in bad positions or just simply eating
210. 7:27AoE DPS for no reason. Someone pulling
211. 7:30aggro because they attacked before you.
212. 7:33You see that all of the time in my
213. 7:34stream with shamans, hunters.
214. 7:36Someone running ahead and pulling in
215. 7:38front of me. Someone refusing to follow
216. 7:40strats that the that the group has
217. 7:42said we were going to do, or someone
218. 7:44getting themselves killed.
219. 7:46I promise you, if you start worrying
220. 7:49about those things that you're not
221. 7:51responsible for, you're going to become
222. 7:53miserable. You are going to burn
223. 7:55yourself out of tanking within a week. I
224. 7:58promise you.
225. 8:00If you come into the dungeon thinking if
226. 8:02somebody dies, it's automatically my
227. 8:05fault, you're going to fail.
228. 8:08In just my last stream, I had an
229. 8:10experience just like this. I had a
230. 8:13hunter who was more geared than me,
231. 8:15three levels above me, just absolutely
232. 8:19DPSing as hard as he can before I can
233. 8:21even touch the mob. I had a shaman who
234. 8:23had rockbiter on, which is basically
235. 8:25righteous fury for a paladin tank. I
236. 8:28asked him to take it off.
237. 8:29What do you think [music] he said? He
238. 8:31said, "No, I want to DPS." These people
239. 8:34will bring you down. They will make the
240. 8:36run miserable, but it's only going to
241. 8:39get more miserable if you feed into
242. 8:41them. Allow them to do whatever they
243. 8:43want and continue doing your job as a
244. 8:46tank and control the things that we
245. 8:48talked about. For example, if a hunter's
246. 8:50pulling off of me like that, and the mob
247. 8:53has like 50 50% health or something like
248. 8:55that, I'm not going to worry about it.
249. 8:58One single mob is not going to kill that
250. 9:00player. And the more that I feed into
251. 9:02him doing that, like running back and
252. 9:04bringing three mobs with me and
253. 9:05taunting, it's just going to do the
254. 9:07group worse. Another example, that
255. 9:10shaman with rockbiter, as soon as he
256. 9:12uses any sort of ability or auto attack
257. 9:15or windfury crit, eventually he's just
258. 9:17going to pull threat on me. That's what
259. 9:18rockbiter does. I'm not going to worry
260. 9:20about it. I asked him to turn it off, he
261. 9:22said no, he was trying to be hostile,
262. 9:25looking for an argument. I just ignored
263. 9:27him, and I simply kept doing my job, and
264. 9:30I would just hold threat on all the
265. 9:32other mobs that he was not touching.
266. 9:35These are simple things that you can do
267. 9:37that you need to put in the back of your
268. 9:38mind for when these situations happen
269. 9:40because you don't think they will, but
270. 9:42trust me, these situations will happen
271. 9:44and you need to take action for
272. 9:46yourself. This is exactly what I'm
273. 9:48talking about when people come in my
274. 9:50stream and they say, "I know I just had
275. 9:52these really annoying players and now
276. 9:53that I just I just think I'm a bad
277. 9:55tank." And what do you think the common
278. 9:56denominator is? "I started panicking and
279. 9:59then I just over pulled and then we
280. 10:00wiped and then the group left."
281. 10:02Control the things that you can control
282. 10:06and you automatically will become a
283. 10:08better tank. Now, let's take a look at a
284. 10:11quick snippet of exactly what I'm
285. 10:13talking about. We're going to start the
286. 10:15video here and I'm going to pause it
287. 10:17already. I apologize, but I have a
288. 10:19Shaman and a Ret Paladin with me right
289. 10:22now. Two classes that already have been
290. 10:25acknowledged as incredibly overpowered.
291. 10:29Not to mention that this Ret Paladin has
292. 10:31Wolfsbane, which is the blue sword that
293. 10:34does extra damage to Worgen. So,
294. 10:36pre-pull, or I should say even before
295. 10:38the dungeon, I already knew I was going
296. 10:40to have some issues with threat because
297. 10:42of what I have in my group, but that's
298. 10:44okay. So, let's take a look at this
299. 10:46situation.
300. 10:48Now, before I even touch the mob, you're
301. 10:51going to see that the Paladin has
302. 10:52already used his seal on it and is auto
303. 10:54attacking and the Shaman has already
304. 10:57used an ability also on this Worgen. I
305. 10:59have not even touched the mob and these
306. 11:02guys are already blasting threat. Now,
307. 11:05what do I do in this situation? You're
308. 11:07going to see. I'm just literally using
309. 11:09it as a rage mob. If they are going to
310. 11:12go ahead and pull for me and just
311. 11:15completely ignore my job as a tank, I
312. 11:18now look at that mob as a rage battery.
313. 11:21I'm not going to blow my taunt. I'm not
314. 11:23going to do anything like that. I'm
315. 11:25simply just going to use this mob as a
316. 11:28rage battery and it's that simple. If I
317. 11:31continue to allow these people to bother
318. 11:34me, it's just going to spiral in and out
319. 11:37of control. Look at this mob's health.
320. 11:39It is getting absolutely deleted by this
321. 11:41Paladin. Do you think I'm going to be
322. 11:43able to hold threat on that? Absolutely
323. 11:45not. So, instead of letting it bother me
324. 11:47and spiral out of control, again, I'm
325. 11:50just using this as a rage battery. So,
326. 11:52luckily now I have a half bat rage bar.
327. 11:54I have blood rage coming up on CD before
328. 11:57the boss.
329. 11:58I'm just not letting it bother me.
330. 12:00Again, this is a very small sample size
331. 12:02of something that you are able to
332. 12:04control. And if you let it bother you,
333. 12:07it's just going to spiral and make it
334. 12:08worse.
335. 12:10Now, let's take a look at another
336. 12:12dungeon, and I'm going to go through
337. 12:14kind of my thought processes or things
338. 12:16that will definitely help you improve as
339. 12:17a tank that don't really have to do
340. 12:19rotation-wise.
341. 12:20>> [music]
342. 12:20>> So, something I'm thinking about in this
343. 12:23group before we even zone in is what
344. 12:25exactly do I have in my group? And I go
345. 12:28off of my analysis from that. So, for
346. 12:30this example, we're four-manning a dead
347. 12:32mines. It's me, a priest, and two
348. 12:35rogues. So, going into this, I know I
349. 12:38have things like I have fort. [music]
350. 12:40I have a priest bubble, which allows you
351. 12:42to get rage generation off the bubble.
352. 12:44Now, that is something they fixed. I
353. 12:46also have two rogues, two very heavy,
354. 12:49obviously, melee DPS that do a lot of
355. 12:52damage. I saw their gear when they came
356. 12:54in. They had better gear than me. But
357. 12:56more importantly, I don't really care
358. 12:58about that. What I care about is that
359. 13:00they have interrupts. They have kicks.
360. 13:03And that's exactly what I need in a
361. 13:05dungeon is things that I can rely on for
362. 13:08interrupts. So, let's go ahead and keep
363. 13:10looking at more spots in this dungeon.
364. 13:13Now, really quick, the easiest way you
365. 13:16can combat hasty DPS, people that like
366. 13:19to attack as soon as you touch a mob or
367. 13:21before you even touch a mob, is pulling
368. 13:23rage. If you've watched my stream, if
369. 13:26you watch my videos, you know I'm always
370. 13:28harping on the idea of pulling rage. It
371. 13:31makes your dungeon smoother, it helps
372. 13:33you become a better tank, it helps you
373. 13:35outside in the open world while you're
374. 13:36leveling.
375. 13:38The more you pull [music] rage, the
376. 13:40better opportunities you will put
377. 13:42yourself in to succeed. Now, look at
378. 13:44this. We have one mob that was pulled.
379. 13:48One mob. I have both of my DPS that are
380. 13:51pumping on it. Do you see me using any
381. 13:54abilities on this mob? Do you see any
382. 13:56Sunders? Any Demoralizing Shout? Any
383. 13:59Thunder Clap? No. Why would I waste rage
384. 14:02on one single mob that we are pulling?
385. 14:06If I have one mob in this situation, it
386. 14:09is a rage battery, and that is it. So,
387. 14:12when I pull rage from this mob, it
388. 14:15allows me to have rage to use on a pull
389. 14:17where we have two mobs, three mobs. This
390. 14:19allows me to get my shield block off,
391. 14:22followed by the revenge, and then
392. 14:24followed with a Thunder Clap. And that
393. 14:27is all from my rage from pulling on a
394. 14:29mob like this. Pulling rage is the
395. 14:33easiest way to combat hasty DPS, but
396. 14:36also give you an easier chance to
397. 14:39succeed as a tank. If you have rage
398. 14:41coming into a pull, it's very obvious.
399. 14:44It's I know it sounds obvious, but a lot
400. 14:46of people don't think about it. If
401. 14:48[music] you pull rage, you have
402. 14:50rage to push your abilities for the next
403. 14:54pull.
404. 14:55Now, [music] I was fortunate to pause
405. 14:57this at the perfect time.
406. 14:59Let's take a look at a situation like
407. 15:01this. Now, the mobs are jumbled
408. 15:03together, but what I'm actually holding
409. 15:05as a tank right now is a goblin and two
410. 15:08remote-controlled golems, the ones that
411. 15:10the goblin engineers can uh spawn or
412. 15:13they will spawn.
413. 15:15Look at the goblin engineer to the right
414. 15:17that has like what? 10% health? Maybe
415. 15:20less?
416. 15:21It is currently attacking the rogue
417. 15:23right next to me.
418. 15:25Do you think I'm going to blow a taunt
419. 15:27on a mob like that? Do you think that
420. 15:29that rogue is in danger right now?
421. 15:32Well, let's take a look at our healer's
422. 15:33mana. He has full mana.
423. 15:36The rogue himself has essentially full
424. 15:39health. Why would I waste rage or my
425. 15:42resources or even a GCD cool down
426. 15:45[music]
427. 15:45on a mob that is essentially almost dead
428. 15:48and has two of my DPS attacking it? Why
429. 15:51would I blow a taunt? Time and time
430. 15:54again, I see people just wasting rage or
431. 15:57wasting their abilities on mobs that do
432. 16:01not matter.
433. 16:02Why would I waste my energy
434. 16:05I mean, like, you know, like my mental
435. 16:06energy or my rage on a mob that's going
436. 16:10to die and has put nobody in danger.
437. 16:12[music]
438. 16:13That mob at 10% health is like three
439. 16:15auto attacks from being dead. And how
440. 16:17many auto attacks is he going to get
441. 16:19[music] off? Maybe one or two?
442. 16:21Is that going to put the group in
443. 16:22danger? Absolutely not. So, why would I
444. 16:25use my conk my taunt cool down on that
445. 16:27mob? Let's say one of these extra mobs
446. 16:30pulls, then I wouldn't have a taunt to
447. 16:32use. And check out my rage bar right
448. 16:34now. I've put myself in a terrible
449. 16:35opportunity or uh you know, just a
450. 16:38terrible situation. Let's say we do have
451. 16:40extra mobs pull and I use a taunt on a
452. 16:43mob that has like no health like that.
453. 16:45Well, now I don't have taunt. Then I
454. 16:47would have to switch out of battle
455. 16:48stance and lose any rage that I pulled
456. 16:51to use mocking blow. And then by that
457. 16:53time, the the other mobs that I'm
458. 16:55holding right now are going on a
459. 16:57different target in our party, like
460. 16:59rogue or maybe even the healer. Do you
461. 17:01see how if I use my taunt too early,
462. 17:04that whole [music] situation just
463. 17:05spiraled out of control?
464. 17:08If you spend rage or your resources or
465. 17:11your abilities on mobs that do not
466. 17:14matter and that are going to die already
467. 17:16without putting the group in danger,
468. 17:18you're going to give your group a harder
469. 17:21time.
470. 17:22Look at me. I'm not in any panic. I'm
471. 17:24not even targeting that mob. I have a
472. 17:27taunt on cool down. I have my berserking
473. 17:29coming up. I have thunder clap coming up
474. 17:32and I have my shield block. I have all
475. 17:34my abilities ready to go. The last thing
476. 17:36I'm going to do is use my taunt on that
477. 17:38mob or even worse, use a heroic strike
478. 17:41or a sunder armor and blow rage for no
479. 17:43reason. I see it time and time again.
480. 17:46New players feel like they have to be
481. 17:47holding threat on mobs all the time.
482. 17:50That's not true. And in fact, we're
483. 17:52going to talk about something and we
484. 17:54might as well talk about it now. I
485. 17:56always mark skull
486. 17:58>> [music]
487. 17:58>> for something that is a healer mob or a
488. 18:02caster mob, something that doesn't have
489. 18:04a lot of armor that can die very
490. 18:06quickly. As long as my DPS are focused
491. 18:09on that skull, I'm not going to waste
492. 18:12resources on it. I'm not going to waste
493. 18:14my rage trying to hold a mob that's
494. 18:16being blasted by three
495. 18:19potential DPS in my group that might be
496. 18:21more geared than me, that might be
497. 18:22higher level than me. Skull is
498. 18:25identified to kill first. You are going
499. 18:28to waste so much rage trying to hold
500. 18:30that mob because guess what? As soon as
501. 18:32that mob dies, you have no threat on the
502. 18:35other mobs and all it's going to take is
503. 18:37two hunter multi shots and you have lost
504. 18:39control of the entire pack. Skull is
505. 18:41designed for you and your party, I'm
506. 18:44sorry, your party to focus that mob
507. 18:47while you hold threat on everything
508. 18:48else. So a word of urge, the tip that I
509. 18:51would love you guys to start
510. 18:52implementing
511. 18:53is using skull towards the weakest mob
512. 18:56in the group, the caster, the healer, or
513. 18:59the one that simply just does a lot of
514. 19:01damage like a battle mage in Stratholme
515. 19:03for instance. As long as it's getting
516. 19:06nuked down first, that does that's fine.
517. 19:08It's not going to put your group in
518. 19:10danger. You worry about holding the
519. 19:12other four mobs that will put your group
520. 19:14in danger if they start running around
521. 19:17because then your DPS is going to panic.
522. 19:19CC doesn't come out. The healer starts
523. 19:21to panic or starts healing two people
524. 19:23including you, then he has no mana.
525. 19:26>> [music]
526. 19:26>> So, I use skull as something as the DPS
527. 19:30obviously need to nuke it first. I'm not
528. 19:32worried about it if it's attacking this
529. 19:34rogue, fine.
530. 19:36Now, really quickly, one of the things I
531. 19:38do want to talk about and it is
532. 19:39something that a lot of people bring up
533. 19:42in my stream is AoE threat as a warrior.
534. 19:45I'm really struggling with AoE threat.
535. 19:47Like, what is your rotation? What are
536. 19:49some things you do that help you hold
537. 19:51AoE threat? And again, let's use all of
538. 19:54the tools that we have just talked about
539. 19:56and implement those with AoE threat.
540. 19:59Number one, let's go right to back to
541. 20:00what we were just talking about, marking
542. 20:02a skull. Marking a skull on a pack of
543. 20:05four mobs for your DPS to blast allows
544. 20:07you to get AoE threat on all the other
545. 20:09mobs while they're focusing that mob.
546. 20:12That is one of the easiest things you
547. 20:13can do. Now, let's circle back to
548. 20:15another thing that we talked about,
549. 20:17analyzing your group or forming a group
550. 20:20that matches your strengths. It is no
551. 20:23secret right now that warriors need as
552. 20:25much help as possible when it comes to
553. 20:28AoE DPS. Some things that you can do
554. 20:31that will help you is some of the gear
555. 20:33that is in WoW forever. Like, for
556. 20:35example, the bracers out of Dead Mines
557. 20:37that give you damage when you block. So,
558. 20:39basically, every time you shield block
559. 20:41or you proc a block, it is going to do
560. 20:43damage to those mobs. Or, for example,
561. 20:46let's take a look at something else, a
562. 20:47shield spike on your shield which does
563. 20:49the same thing. Now, let's include some
564. 20:52of our other party members. Thorns from
565. 20:54druids is really strong. Ret aura from a
566. 20:57paladin is very strong or even a fire
567. 20:59shield from a warlock's imp. That will
568. 21:02give you AoE DPS when you're hit as
569. 21:05well.
570. 21:06Again,
571. 21:07you need to find ways other than
572. 21:09yourself to build a strong AoE set, and
573. 21:12that goes back to what we were saying
574. 21:14with analyzing what's in your group or
575. 21:16forming a group that fits your
576. 21:18strengths.
577. 21:20There really isn't an an excuse for AoE
578. 21:22DPS with all the steps we talked about.
579. 21:25Mark a skull, let your DPS kill it,
580. 21:28get some other classes that fit in your
581. 21:30group and worry about the other mobs
582. 21:32that your DPS is not focusing. Again,
583. 21:35this was a very basic video that I hope
584. 21:38I really hope has helped some of you new
585. 21:41players out when it comes to mentally
586. 21:43being a better tank and some basic basic
587. 21:46tips about handling mobs and allowing
588. 21:49your DPS to do what they need to do to
589. 21:51get the job done. Be sure to subscribe,
590. 21:53and I'll see you guys on the next video.
