ok first of all the rogue prolly suck, asking a prot tank for more dps is plain dumb, he should be asking for more threat to unleash more dps instead.

for you, a few tip:

when the boss is blade dancing, STAND STILL. hold ur right mouse button to turn and FACE him wherever he is, to reduce the dmg he do to you from blade dancing. once he is done, immediately TAUNT as he does reduce ur aggro by a certain ammount, this is to ensure no aggro loss will happen while boss is blade dancing and say ranged dps class such as mage or healer healing getting aggro. after taunt to put you on to SECOND place of the aggro list, IMMEDIATELY shield slam. of course hopefully by now after first blade dance you have 5 sunders stacked, if not, always remember to get 5 sunders up ASAP and maintain it via devastate, but shield slam is still your most important aggro generation skill, so use it EVERYTIME its cooled, if low rage, save rage for shield slam priority. if got spare rage, just spam ur devastate and if you got more spare rage, toss in hs's (this is only when ur having excess rage because it negates ur normal swing to generate rage)

also dont forget to maintain battleshout 100% as it boosts ur aggro, dmg, and rogue/hunter etc's dmg. by any chance ur rogue or any other melee class or urself going low hp, commanding shout.

to summarize:
sunder armor 5 stacked up asap, and maintained 100%
battleshout maintained 100% (commanding if low hp)
during blade dance, stand still and face ur warrior to the boss to mitigate his blade dancing dmg
after boss blade dance, TAUNT THEN shield slam

for the ranged dps such as mage/hunter:
cc if possible, and focus more dps on boss

rogue:
if possible, let the ranged dps or other classes to handle adds while he 100% non stop focus boss. due to the nature of CP generation, if the rogue have to switch target constantly, his dps will be limited and its not desirable if what you're lacking is dps.

to everyone excluding you:
SPREAD OUT

WHEN BLADE DANCE OCCURS, DO NOT BE ANYWHERE NEAR WITH YOUR TEAMMATES, PETS COUNTED, HAVE THE PETS POSITIONED SOMEWHERE ELSE.

i armory the pugs i run with, true story.

mace weapons basically suck when it comes to pve, its meant for pvp. but claws in most ways outperform maces in pvp due to the straight 5% crit, non conditional, non chance based, straight 5% crit.

the only exception to the above, is that the strongest rogue weapon excluding dagger is sadly, a mace. master hammersmith crafted.

but at the end of the day, daggers are bar-none the best weapon of choice in terms of pve grouped/raiding dps, where you will have a tank, and positioning is usually not an issue.

so generally, if you group a lot instead of solo, care more bout pve grouping(instancing) and raiding more, go daggers. (kinda like being restore/holy for healers, good in groups etc but suck solo'ing)

else, probably go for claw spec for the unconditional 5% crit. mace proc is near to useless in pve and its still a proc, sword spec is still a proc and ur procs resets your weapon swing timer, so in some rare cases, it may even lower ur dps.

in terms of pvp, daggers for extreme burst dmg, else hemo for ultility, combat for generic dps and best form of bursting 1 person down/hardcore anti caster with imp kick

you will NEED heroic strike from time to time, so long you have enough rage to shield slam, and provide constant devastate spam AFTER 5 sunders, you can start spamming HS to burn excess rage. hs is good because it doesnt share your GCD (global cooldown), meaning, you can devas/shieldslam/revenge etc etc WHILE STILL spamming hs (provided you have the rage to do so).

another good usage of HS is initial aggro. for example, on pulls, you can queue in a HS AND a sunder, so in case sunder gets dodged/missed/parried, HS have a chance to keep the mob on you, and not lose aggro because 1.5 sec GCD screwing your follow up aggro ability. (1.5 sec can be very crucial in endgame/high dps parties) another backup is taunt which doesnt have GCD attached but seriously, id save the taunt cooldown if possible. (especially when fighting multiple mobs, rush in for a hs+sunder on one and taunt the other then tab and aggro him then when both having a sunder each, thunder clap and demo shout and tab to spam shieldslam/sunders/revenge/devastate.)

devastate is a good skill but, only after you have 5 sunders up. if your devastating a target without 5 sunders, ur only wasting your rage, time, and your party's time by providing poor aggro or worse, losing aggro.

mages that have problems with the adds that can be 2-4 shotted or sheeped/kited?!?!?!?!

BLASHPEMY!

THIS IS MADNESS!!!

THIS IS SPARTA!!!!!

or l2kite/dps and not take a hit at all?

wrong, unless its a hunter type add, the rest cant lay a finger on the mage. even being fire spec, fnova/coc/rank1 frostb is your friend.

for the mentality part, thinking that ur god and you blow faces up helps. being dead and getting hit just cant fit the picture.

that is true for sure. pretty much, same works for every class, you get the majority of rotten apples, and a minority of juicy ripe ones.

resists is bad, but its not gonna make a mage look bad. i mean, chances for all 3 types of spell to resist is fairly low, and i havent list out everything a mage can STILL throw at their foes should the above 3 gets resisted

all out dps when hes 99%

that is true

yay

on a sidenote, anyone wondered how kargath bladefist eat or masturbate? i mean, he dont have hands...

he dont have hooks, only blades on both hands

good puns lol... i dont know, no reason to severe his penis like what he did with his hands... maybe he has some female orc to help out or something in the back.

olololololo sure is cute indeed
