quick tips for gear/chants/gems/macros/talents and all around awesomeness

dps is pretty much always triggerhappy and all you have time for between GCDs is yet another swipe in mass aoe pulls

dps even when aoeing should have a primary target to focus on (that'd be the tank's main target) and so long as you use the basic bear macros and spam swipe you should keep ahead of them on threat

only times i ever have aggro issues are mobs that drop threat which isn't really a problem since they're designed that way, when dps unloads before i've even charged in, if someone doesn't focus on the skull, or just unlucky chain CCs right as the pull starts which are recovered from the instant i'm no longer CCed

even a prot pally can have trouble competing with aoe threat when done right (a hefty amount of pally aoe threat is reflective damage and if the mobs are attacking another tank that cuts out a good amount of pally aoe threat gen making it hard for them to steal it without taunting)

Just spam Maul + Swipe on packs of 3 or more. It means less threat on your main target, but Swipe is just as good as Consecrate or DnD or Thunderclap. Just get a feel for how far 8 yards is, and make sure all the mobs are within that range, then push Swipe a lot.

... but if the dps outgear u and every 1 is single dpsing a different target then swipe and maul wont cut it.
If this is the case, Nothing will cut it.

I pull with faerie fire on the main target and get his attention with lacerate and maim.

You mean maul I'm guessing? Can't imagine you going kitty while aoe tanking (although that would explain the aggro :p)

On a more serious note, here's what I do (more or less):

enrage
barkskin to negate the reduced armour
hit maul so that when i charge into the mob it hits immediately
charge
hit swipe during the charge to round up the mobs from the getgo
maul+swipe

hope that helps :)

I have to say though, when you have a swiping kitty or dk dpsing with you, it might get hard to hold aggro anyways. My guild's MT couldn't do it with me as a kitty, but it wasn't bad because the mobs died superfast ^^

If you have a DPS who's capable of out-threating you while spamming AoE's -- They're probably smart enough to understand and accept the consequences of their actions. When I pull off of a tank because I go Swipe happy, I know it was my fault, and I know where my limit is, and I try not to do it again. As good as Bear Swipe is at generating threat, Cat Swipe is usually better (especially with berserk).

Your problem is not your rotation and how you start a fight it is your hit rate. Next time you are running a instance have someone that is running recount check your hit/miss ratio you maybe surprised. You want no less then 136 hit or you will be missing all the time and the more you miss the less threat you get.. Try some hit food to help you get over the hump tell you can find more hit gear.

On one of my first nights as a trial in my current guild (since my previous one dissolved because the leaders decided they hated wow), I wiped the entire raid in a matter of seconds because I Berserk+Swiped all of the little flower adds on Freya and they all exploded before a shaman could TS them away.

RL: So, WTF just happened there.
Member1: No idea...
Member2: Um, Shibumi has 12 thousand DPS.
Shibumi: <snort> ... <cackle> Yeah I've always wanted to do that.

The fact that they didn't kick me for that reassured me that I would have fun in that guild :).

if x=0.999 then 10x=9.999 10x-x=9.999-0.999 9x=9 x=1 0.999=1

If x=0.999 then 10x=9.99 10x-x=9.0 9x=9 x=1 0.999=1
______________________This___This too___And This
Just wanted to say that 8.888-.888=8, and 8/8=1
And 9x doesnt equal nine, it equals 1.99
fix math pls
