well you honest atleast compare to many that not accept advice
If you got it hard to do pull's ask for CC(Crowd control) to put a mob out of fight for a time
Hunter,
Mage,
ret pala(repentence),
Druid(only melee) or
rogue(need to be done before you start the fight)
this will make the fight more easy, but less neded more you level up
just keep a 1h+ a shield then you fine to tank, take advice from Narragaan,but i going more indeep of prot skill for you , as you was polite and accept you new to a game and you will see
Threat is what make the mob "choice" who he attack, and they always go after the one with most , Aggro is the one the mob choice
warrior got to help him to archive this
Def stance that make you take less damage and do more threat and when you in this stance you can use some skill that is made for make threat but still do good damage like
revenge,
Sunder,
Shield bash,
Shield block,
Shield Slam,
Shield wall,
Taunt,
DisarnRevenge - the DamagerRevenge can only be used after a block, parry or dodge...this is the skill make much agro and is cheap so i recommend to use it when you can
Sunder -The Aggroersunder is a debuff that make destroy the target's armor, but the most improten it do MUCH aggro! its best aggro maker before you get shield slam, it stack 5 time (the debuff will debuff the target up to 5 time's) and it will give all
Shield bash - the Shut the $%^& up!or Where you think you going?this is what you use on caster that try to cast spell's to interrupt them and is defense version of
Hamstering that you can't use in Def stance, but its weaker to. anyway its best to use it on mobs that try to run away to find some help (this is most common reason on low level wipe)
Shield Block -The Brick of a tankwhen you activate this you next melee/range (not spell) will get blocked, Block is less damage not wipe of table (it depend on you "block value" that is on you shield and STR give it to....don't get confused with "Block rate" that's chance to block)
Cool combo with this
Shield Block +revenge= 100% sure you get a revenge!
(NB! remember revenge got 5 Sec CD so time it)
Shield slam - The Ace Card for the warrior tank!Shield slam.....when you get this, blow it EVERY Time! its simple best threat skill and damage as Prot! ignore even if revenge Proc! SLAM THE KEY! and its dispel a magic effect of target (will not remove pala bubble but will remove
Priest shield Shield Wall -The Brick!this will reduce damage you take to 70 %! (you remember the 10 % in defence stance?) not talk about armor to so this is when rogue start to whine and yell for prot nerf, this should be used in "oh ^&*! " situation as we call them , that is when something go wrong and you need some extra power to survive! like when you accdently got an other pack of mobs while you not done with the one you doing
Taunt -Over here you big mother f****!this is a "rule bender" on how aggro work, its "cheat" it,it will no matter how much aggro some one have, change target to the one who taunt, this is best used when the DPS start to steal you mobs and go for them instant of you
Disarm - Simsalabim you weapon is GONE!This one will hurt the mobs (or opposing players) that wield weapon....no you can't disarm bear claws or the fangs of a wolf;) . its feared in pvp mostly ....if a warrior/rogue/hunter not got weapon they can't barly do anything! very underestimated
Shield reflect,innervate 2 skill i left out because you get them later level and by that time i think you get how to tank anyway
Some trick and tipe
-you tank= you the boss! most players think the tank as the boss as YOU the one who pilot the group
-rescue healer >DPS...healer is a key factor of a group! same rule for healer's ...tank>dps on who they heal!
- best if you pull mobs then you got a tiny bit of aggro so they go after you if hey left alone
- if DPS is whiny/retard/asehole....its easy to replace (healers/tank is not)
-use heroic strike if got rage to waste
Event Alerthttp://wow.curse.com/downloads/wow-addons/details/event-alert.aspxthis will show when you proc stuff! like when revenge is ready with a icon in middle of screen, this is good for any class and spec that have a proc (chance to activate when you do something)
Quickmarkhttp://wow.curse.com/downloads/wow-addons/details/quick-mark.aspxnice and easy addon for marking and less macro's needed
hope it helps and sorry for my bad english....oh and one last thing
