I never would've even thought of doing a heroic with people less than 70. I guess it's possible now though, with the new honoured requirement I think I was attuned to heroic CE on my warrior at 61. If we're sharing tanking feats involving a LOT of taunting however, I've got a less impressive but more amusing one - I recently tanked all the trash leading up to attumen with Salv on :S wow, nice!

How many of you fantastic tanks would attempt a Heroic Underbog run with a level 64 holy/disc priest and a level 69 BM hunter? Veneretio did just that. Complete UB run, since the 64 would agro from the portal, in less than 90 minutes. Two deaths, no wipes. /cheers **TEST YOUR TANK ABILITIES**

It's part of my morning ritual once I get to work. Others probably use this or something similar, but I have an easy Mocking Blow macro button that's handy for a quick secondary taunt if the regular Taunt is resisted or something else. #show Mocking Blow /cast [stance:1] Berserker Stance; Mocking Blow /cast [stance:2] Defensive Stance I've found it a lot easier to use this way and have saved many squishies when a mob takes interest in them.

#show Mocking Blow
/cast [stance:1] Berserker Stance; Mocking Blow
/cast [stance:2] Defensive Stance

I’ve found it a lot easier to use this way and have saved many squishies when a mob takes interest in them.

I had a small moment of panic when I received the this site is closed error. I check it almost daily in the morning at work and often pass along your ideas to our guild site by linking to the article. No matter how much I think I know, Its always important to read more and learn, even relearn. Great article on taunt, I tend to use it only on multi-mob tanking, I get tired of seeing Immune. That seems to happen more and more with mobs I have to kill. Between the loss of spell reflect, silence, concussion blow and taunt, Im always amazed when I have to do it to save someone and I see the little red marks appear over the mobs head. Im like, "Hey! That guys tauntable!" which probably paints me a noob to some, but the guild understands and is always good for a laugh. I also tend to save Challenging Shout only for the AOE pulls that happen in Kara (only area I raid right now) right before Moroes. I try to get one AOE pull, as soon as they're close I pop it and the raid knows you have 6 secs to go nutty, after that, you're on your own. Besides who cares if the mage dies, they have Ice Block now right? :) Boy am I glad your back up. I had a small moment of panic when I received the this site is closed error.
