He's an anchor to ur group. Cut the rope and sail away. He's obviously lacks a brain on tanking. And elite gear w/o doin any 10-25mans? lol. Just laugh at him! =p

If u plan to get anywhere in pve, specced it. If u arent specced for it and dun do well dun whine its only ur fault. Is just like when i respec for arms i will nvr ever run a dungeon with this spec just bcos its aint that much fun tanking with it and its a burden to the rest of the group constantly holding back. But of cos i spec arms to do 3k crits in bg/arena. haha.

umm they're doing 5 man non heroic content.  no need to get so elitist about specs... seriously

but no they don't have to take him if there's a better person available.  It's his choice if he doesn't want to spec for pve.

OP mentioned gearing up for 10mans. So hence the prot spec argument. U wanna raid and do well u gotta be an elitist. U wanna raid but be ignorant and spec what u wan is also fine. Just dun cry, whine n point fingers at ppl where part of the blame is on u. U pay ur own subscription, fine. No one is paying u to gimp the rest of the raid nor being selfish.

sigh at the lack of viability of dps warriors now. But see how black temple gear does have solid warrior dps gear? Maybe they're trying to bring dps warriors back! =p Wishful thinking...

But i rather play tank more than a dps now anyday. Come on first dibs at loot!!! lol.

A warrior who has 'epic gear' and tells mages to wait for 5 sunders is a noob warrior, anytime. My guild's mages all crit frostbolts for 5k frequently, but our maintanker can still hold aggro without the mages dying (unless there are other mobs, then it's their problem wink.gif).

Don't group with the warrior unless he's up for DPS. Screw him as a tank, since he's so stubborn about it. You will find that a skilled tanker will be pressing enough buttons to hold aggro with 2 sunders or less.

If your guild has a problem with him, throw him out. You can be sure that many other guilds won't accept him as a tank.

I've seen Fury warriors who can tank, but of course the damage they take is much much higher than if he were a Prot tank. And if he can tank until healers run out of mana and the boss still isn't dead, either your dps is not high enough, or his threat isn't high enough for dps to take over. biggrin.gif

Just kick him from the guild, ignore him, and label him as a bad tank. It'll benefit you more than him.

Not disagreeing with u but the mage gets 5k crits off the bat, its pretty hard to hold aggro as a tank. Solid tanks normally trash out 600tps or below intially and only above if SS crits. Well geared sometimes doesnt work to ur advantage with the avoidance available on it. And sometimes u just run into a string of bad luck i.e f***ing dodge parry miss miss in sucession. God i hate those sometime. Or u can run into good fortune, like on prince tonite i did manage to maintain 1150tps for 20secs or so due to SS crits, multiple windfurys n tf procs all together.

And fury specced warriors just can nvr tank (as in hold aggro properly) so long the dpsers are geared. Its not even remotely possible.

I asked a good fren, a dps warrior from the top guild in my server, on what the situation is with warrior dps. I havent played dps in raid since tbc so i was just curious especially with the current posting. He explains with his current gear there is no problem with him keepin up with casters and rogues in dps. He even believes he can exceed most of them but only to be limited by the aggro threshold. Lack of threat control mechanics severely limits his dps to being only top 8 of his guild dps charts.
