Rotation/ Priority

Wah, its been a while.

So after a lot of thought I came to a conclusion. To maximize threat usually there is a rotation but because of certian talents, cooldowns will never fit work in that order. So the best i can do is give you a break down of a pull rotation and after that it becomes skill priority.

Single Target Pull:
-3 sec - Bloodlust
-2 sec - shoot ( not global CD)
-1.5 sec - Charge
-1 sec - Heroic Throw
0 sec - Shield Slam ( Mob Contact Point )
1.5 sec - Revenge
3 sec - Concussion Blow
4.5 sec - Fill

While all this is going on you should be using Heroic Strike on the side

After 3 sec we go into skill priority.
Shield Slam
Revenge
Concussion Blow-Shockwave
Heroic Throw-Rend
Mocking Blow-Thunder Clap-Devastate

Continue Expertise/ Hit: Part 2

To stop Loonie from driving me insane....

Explaination to the data from the last post.

Bosses have a 6.5% dodge and 14.25% Parry.
Melee should ideally stack expertise to 26 expertise(214 rating) before stacking hit. There are three reasons for this train of thought.
First, expertise does the same thing as hit until you hit the 26 expertise where it knocks target mob's dodge off the table. After that all that is left is Parry.
Second, 33 Expertise Rating translate to 1% reduction in both dodge and parry. This essentially means that you reduced 2% miss on the target. Where 33 Hit Rating translate to only 1% miss reduction on the target.
Third, when a mob parries your attack they gain a 20% reduction in thier swing timer. Basically there next attack speeds up by 20% every time they parry your attack.

Last note: I did say Ideally at the start. Its suggested but not required so don't go crazy if you cant get all that expertise recommended before getting hit. If you get some hit gear you can use that while you find some expertise. As I have said before I like to keep things balanced.

Warrior Tanking Skill Rotation for Threat Generation

To start off I would like to state there is no Perfect rotation because everything is situational. The key to maximizing threat is dependent on how you start a fight. For me there are three different rotation, which are the bases of how I tank.

Single Target

Multi Target

Boss Target

Warrior Class Guide Starting Point

Hmmm so I'm kinda bored atm. So I guess i will start on Project "Beefy Warrior". The main reason I am starting this project is because i was asked by Sheya to compile guide to better the warrior tanks in VA. But I feel i should also add things such as DPS advice.

Not exactly sure where to start... Guess I will talk about myself and my philosopy on tanking as a warrior.

Start

As a Warrior I feel that this is the best tanking class. They have plenty of mobility and tricks to survive any situation that might arise. My philosophy on how to build a good warrior is to keep everything balanced .It is best to not go overboard with one stat over another. Such as going too much with avoidance to neglect threat generation the ability to survive two consecutive hits, or having too much stamina that you lack threat generation and avoidance. As of Wotlk expansion the defense cap is 540. That is the primary starting point.

Threat: Talent

Defensive Stance	2.0735
Defiance (3pt Talent)	Removed from game.
Tactical Mastery (3pt Talent)	1.21/1.42/1.63 (Bloodthirst and Mortal Strike) (only if used in Defensive Stance)
Battle Stance Berserker Stance	0.8
Imp. Berserker Stance (5pt Talent)	extra .98/.96/.94/.92/.90 in Berserker Stance
Vigilance (talent)	target: extra 0.9 caster: gains remaining 0.1 as own threat

Threat: Skill

Battle Shout	+78 (rank 9) - divided amongst targets
Cleave	+225 (rank 8) - divided amongst targets
Commanding Shout	+80 - divided amongst targets
Demoralizing Shout	+63 (rank 8) - divided amongst targets
Devastate	+5.0% attack power No longer applies Sunder Armor threat.
Disarm	+104
Hamstring	+181 (rank 4)
Heroic Strike	+259 (rank 13)
Heroic Throw	threat = 1.5 * damage caused
Revenge	+121 (rank 9)
Improved Revenge (Stun)	+25
Shield Bash	+36
Improved Shield Bash	+??
Shield Slam	+770 (rank 8)
Improved Spell Reflection	Reflected damage causes threat for reflecting ally.
Sunder Armor	+(345 + 5.0% attack power) (rank 7)
Taunt	Sets threat equal to NPC's primary target
Thunder Clap	threat = 1.85 * damage caused
