I was praised as a tank during my leveling trip to 60. I always tried to watch out for my group and make sure I was controlling the fights. I studied the instances extensively before even trying them, and made sure I was geared before attempting tougher content. I was often asked to tank for multiple instances, etc. But once I hit 60, everything changed. You're expected to pull everything in the room, nonstop; you're expected to run through the content, despite the protests of the healer; and if you're not familiar with even one fight, or trash mob, people will try to kick you ... or they just start pulling mobs themselves, causing undue pressure on the healer and party wipes. Wtf is wrong with people? Tanking in WoW is a thankless job, made more frustrating by impatient leeches and ass-hats who only care about themselves. How are you supposed to learn anything in this game with pricks like that ruining the experience?

ik im a bit late on this but another massive issue is ppl trying to emulate mdi runs while theyre pugging or they try to treat/act like theyre an mdi player those players are literally payed to be good at what they do and spend stupid amounts of hours building their synergies and routes the random +7 you found at 2 am are not those players. that whole mindset is why we dont have more tanks in the populus bc if a brand new person wants to be a tank they get ridiculed for not knowing the routes, im sorry but as a lifetime tank im not gonna do your stupid mdi route on +8 its a not that serious

I appreciate your real and down to earth videos. I also am a tank main(with healer alts). Anyways, I've seen your vids pop enough and watched enough of them but this vid had finally convinced me to sub. Thanks bro!

Gonna level my character from 10 to max purely from tanking specific dungeons, researching them beforehand, and watching your videos. Thanks!

I already achieved KSM, but I like to browse these types of videos to refresh on the basics. Excellent content, keep it up!

This is great! Definitely guilty of holding certain CDs, notably Shield Wall. Really need to study problem-packs in dungeons to be better prepared, so excited for your upcoming dungeon content.

Just decided to swap from healing to tanking. Your videos are helping a lot. Looking forward to your tips on individual dungeons.

I'm honestly so terrified to do things wrong an inconvenience people. People take things so seriously. Honestly, I'm sensitive. It feels like there's no space to learn, no way to practice. I think they need a way for new players to learn this stuff.

Good advice. Thanks.

1:30 doesn't take a high IO player to say that even. Been like that since I started M+. Best thing to do with them is ignore em, try to get thru the key and support the grp and ignore/block people who have a shitty attitude. I've found a lot of people higher than 3.2k-3.3k in a lot of seasons get really sour about the SMALLEST things in a low key (low being like 14-18s). So I've stopped inviting them as they're just moody key-brickers.

Love it man

My advice as a tank is to run the same dungeon at least 5 times before trying to move to the next dungeon. Also keep aggro with AOE attacks and keep an eye out for your teammates. If you see that a mob is focusing on them move over to the and attack that mob and use whatever attacks build aggro to the mob until it switches to you.

Had no idea Dane Cook played WoW! Was wondering where he disappeared too!

What's your UI based off of? Any suggestions on how to set up something like yours would be most appreciated!

Pls do a vid on the addons you're using. I'm curious on the one showing the big button popping out

I just don't know the route and if I do dps I try but can't focus enough to pay attention cuz were always hauling ass

How do you know that you have all the aggro?

So, how can one use warcraft logs as a tank or Details! ? How much uptime lets say a Prot War or Prot Pala should have on shield block/Sotr? And is there a tank class , that stand its ground and not having to kite to survive?

does mythic dungeon tools only work for mythic? im wanting to learn tank and im just starting on the opening, low level dungeons. want to know how to really get started..forget about mythic

ok dane cook

Yo dude big fan this is Shane Hare I'm on my girls phone because my shit broke. But I was wondering why I never see you use "@cursor" macros for your sigils and for your Inf. Strike? Been watching you for a while and maybe I'm just not noticing but I wanted to know if there was a reason for it?

Sry but i cant take tanking tips from a vengeance demon hunter. BEGONE spawn of darkness.

How do you get your party’s health bars like that in dungeons??

I was a pug tank for all of BFA and a lot of SL. Never again.

As a Main Tank, I would like to say... What do you mean use my CDs... They are my CDs... leave them alone please! 😂

What does Puging mean?

Wasn’t that way nearly in thc and wrath in the day. Because it had no dungeon finder and people talked to each other because if you where a jerk then people would not play with them. The killed community with LFG Automatic.

Strating the video with a bad plaguefull route XD wtf no skip? good video though :3

bro i just want to know how to tank..waste of time

as a lifetime tank main in every mmorpg. I would definitely. 100%. With certainty say: it is ok to be toxic and to yell and insult players, who performing bad. You go into pack where you need 3 kicks, and none of your dps does that - say "use kicks". If they still not using kicks - yell at them. Give them valid criticism of their action coupled with insults. It is not bad to do so. People learn MUCH better from their bad experience, than from good. When i went as a tank into dungeon, mechanics of which i dont know - i learn much better from my bad experience. "oh, i remember on this boss my team yelled at me for tanking add with the boss" and "on this pack my team yelled at me because i turned mob into them and killed healer and dps" and etc. If you are doing a high difficulty content - you should get gud. And when you not - be prepared for yelling. Of course dont call them stupid or noobs or retards without saying what they did wrong. But if you really getting offended by unknown person on the internet - you should limit your presence on the internet or seek medical attention, that is not normal

Is this Dane Cook?
