Comments on: The Golden Rotations http://www.tankingtips.com/2007/08/01/the-golden-rotations/ A guide to tanking as a warrior in world of warcraft Wed, 19 Nov 2008 01:33:30 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.2 By: Sygvox http://www.tankingtips.com/2007/08/01/the-golden-rotations/#comment-4246 Sygvox Wed, 01 Oct 2008 18:20:48 +0000 http://www.tankingtips.com/2007/08/01/the-golden-rotations/#comment-4246 This is exactly what I was looking for. I'm working on my warrior's last few levels before OL where he will start primarily lvling in groups at least until wrath, and I could find every other piece of info it seemed except some guidance on rotation. Since almost every tank in my guild is druid/pally, this is invaluable to me. Great info! This is exactly what I was looking for.

I'll be updating a number of posts here over the weekend to reflect the changes resulting from 2.3 That is correct Cimm.

Vene, could you comment on Satrina’s 2.3 Devastate results?

Now it's not even in the list. What happened?

I may be wrong but our DPS loves my threat levels. And I'm skipping mitigation moves (demo/TC) unless I get low on health sometimes or I'm fighting hard hitting bosses. I try to use commanding _after_ pulls so I'm not wasting GCD in combat, plus I can run closer to the rest of the party making sure eveyone gets the buff.

These rotations will almost always be the way to the highest TPS threshold possible, now the only thing that remains in question is AP, SBV, crit and your weapon. And of course rage starvation.

I think the only thing I do differently is for trash, all I do is shield slam and heroic strike, and I'll throw in a revenge whenever it's available. I do this differently because I like how heroic strike chips into damage a little bit, and sunders are generally a waste on something that dies quickly. I use the revenge/shield block macro, but I replace it with the straight revenge ability when I'm not in danger of being crushed, because revenge is always up anyway. We all develop our own little rotations over time, but I think this guide sums it up extremely well for new tanks. Excellent work. A lot of good ideas for new tanks to follow; great job.
