Hi all, been lurker here for quite some time now.
played WOW for two months plus and got really hooked on it.
I'm lvl61 orc warrior and start lvl'ing at outland already.
I was wondering, do you guys (fellow warrior) respec. to prot once reach outland?
Or continue arm or fury spec. until certian lvl ??
now i keep receive request to join raid as MT, but no being prot spec. and without SS, i find it a bit hard to hold aggro.
before that i seldom do raid while lvling to 60. and when i do, i don't seem to have much problem there, and people do not aspect you to be prot. spec. before lvl60.
Therefore i was wondering should i respec to prot. spec now that i'm in outland ?
If prot spec. how do all you handle solo quest ? won't that be really hard?
some suggested respec. to prot and have two sets of gears (DPS gears and prot gears), but at lvl61 gears is still crappy.
I think i will still have problem lvling up even with DPS gears in prot. spec.
Really confused and not sure which direction should i go. Any suggestion ??

yup, a lot of warr are complaining about this, i dun blame em, i have a warr too, and it sucks being prot spec as it is VERY hard to solo. even AT LEVEL 70! and u wont get a lot of invites being arms/fury due to the threat problem. unless u have ss, drood/pally are imo better tankers in those 5mans mob pull. however, if ur the grinding type, taking multiple lower lvls mob was the most feasible way for me to lvl in outland. for doing solo quests however, its not that bad or hard. just a little bit SLOWER.

warrs are the MOST gear based class. tanking in ur dps gear means = u cant tank at all

and i do find it hard to tank without ss+devastate, and u can spec prot and use dps gears for soloing, but need to have BS and mining for the gears. thats the hard part tongue.gif

the 2 spammable macros that i used:

/cast [stance:2] Sunder Armor; Defensive Stance
/cast Heroic Strike
/startattack

for rage dump, SA will trigger gcd, Hs will not

and

/cast [stance:2] Revenge; Defensive Stance
/cast Shield Block

for SB+revenge. as for ur lvl and gear, i think it will procs more on blocks. so its quite spammable.

From my personal experience, you don't need prot spec until u doing major heroic instance or 25 man instance.

Yeah hard to hold agro if u non prot but who cares when u doing 5 man non heroic. You can still taunt them off and spam sunder and most of the time, you should be able to hold agro. If someone pulls agro from u, it's freaking their fault rofl.

But if you full prot, u probably never lose aggro with spam on devastate (sunder pointless now) and shield slam and in between revenge.

if ur grup cant dps properly becoz u cant hold aggro, then its YOUR fault. and would get less invites so on for heroics. i would prefer a rouge>fury/arms warr in heroics any time. decent and less retarded warr tanks are kinda hard to find tho. thank god for the droods and prot pallys biggrin.gif

Like i said, non heroic when u start at outland u don't need it.

Most bosses when u level up do not require hyper dps. When i do Kara, Gruul, ZA, 25 men raid, off course u need to go prot spec and with Devastate having sunder effects added after the new patch, almost 98% impossible to pull aggro off him.

These bosses like in heroic mode and 25 instance requires crazy dps to really get thru it and if you not prot spec, your team can easily pull aggro off.

In normal instance level 60-69 non heroic, u can tank just using sunder, revenge and taunt. But you got a 10-20% chance your teammates can pull aggro off you. This can easily be rectify by just applying taunt again.

Blizzard create dps class with aggro dump because they can pull aggro off MT.

Some cases is not all pally/druid can be tanks. For example, 25 men Tempest keep have this overlord things where it cast an overload on the tankers for 15k++ which can easily down any other class of tankers. However, with a prot warrior, you can spell reflect that fully. It was meant to be that way or otherwise, need uber heals on the other class tankers which is also doable.

Btw, even the best spec prot warrior/druid/pallies can have his aggro pull off by the team and it wouldn't be the tanker's fault. Well geared hunters can easily pull off aggro even from the best tankers in a long duration fight. Fortunately, most high dps class have skills to dump aggro and salvation from pallies.

Fury warriors? You kidding me right? In PvE or PvP, ARMS (up to MS) combined with Fury (up to enrage) can always out dps a fury warrior.

When i am pvping, i seriously laugh at Warriors that are fury 2 wielder, can easily be beaten by 2H warriors ARMs+fury anyday or not to mention by a rogue. Fury warriors basically is an excuse of accidently rolling a warrior instead of a rogue.

Your comment that it's always warrior fault that they lose aggro is unjustified. True, most tanks nowadays don't know how to hold aggro but that's not always the case.

im not generalizing about retards rolling warriors, i have a warr too and i understand what are u trying to say. it is just that im freakin tired of "OMG wth is my heals?" or "why the f%#! did u pull aggro" questions popping up just becoz the tank(most of the time, warrs) cant do s%#! keeping aggro. l2ragedump, read up guides on rotation. thinks all priest/pally/druid/shammy want to spec healing while farming/grinding? hell no. GTFO and respec if u cant hold aggro. period. and if u managed to get to do heroics without being prot, then i really pity ur healer. he must be really nice churning out golds for repairs and consumables. becoz when a group wipes, 99% of them will say its the freaking healer's mistake. nice MTFOs mad.gif

ever wonder why theres always the lack of tanks and healers in LFG? becoz most of them found out that its not easy tanking or healing for PUGs. most of them quit while lvling and rolled a dps class instead. who the f@#! notices when ur slacking/made a mistake? unlike dps classes, others ability to solo gimped greatly when specced tank/heal. so if im speced holy to heal ur ass in heroics, i would appreciate it more if u would do likewise with ur class. if not i just rage hearth biggrin.gif

yes dps class can aggro dump. like spriests fade, rouges vanish, mage and lock also got but with longer cd. warriors? none. and most of thier skills are meant to generate threat anyway. thus a lot of fury ones QQ-ing about not getting invites. 25mans? they are there to OT. if the fight doesnt requires that, then he will be dps-ing. but only for 1 raid spot that is.

fury warrs are l33t. look them up in BG9. theres a couple of them. and a lot of them on Tich sv.

what i meant earlier was that i would prefer a pally/drood tanks for heroics. as for non ones, i would only heal if the tank is a pally/drood. WAY MUCH EASIER . any time. over a warr who doesnt have the gear or even spec-ed right. u might find it all fine tanking without the nessecities, but it would trouble the healer(s) more. roll a healbot class and try to heal retards. u will understand sweat.gif
