Playing a tank in HC made me a better DPS in dangeons

Hi,

I have a lvl 50 warrior, i tanked every dungeon from DM to ZF. Now I need to tank Mara. I don't feel comfortable yet. I need to watch a couple of video to understand Mara boss and mechanics before risking my HC brothers life in Mara.

Playing a tank made me understand how difficult (dependant on your lvl and gear) and important the role of a tank is in wow specially in HC . I had to watch old youtube video to understand how threat works from a mathematical /theory perceptive.

Now re-rolling a dps as an alt specifically a mage, king of AOE, man u cant just cast frost nova ,blizzard and flamestrike on each pull the second the warrior pulls. It's stupid. You are not helping the tank specially on pull with 3 or more mobs. When you see that the warrior lost threat after 3 or 4 pulls, you need to be more strategic with AEO cast. Yes , tank need to get better and its his job to do that. but the main focus is the stay alive as a group and not to be top dps in the chart or inflate your own ego.

When playing a mage, if I'm top dps, the warrior loses threat ,I'm getting threat and now I need to start running around and the tank is running all over the place to get it back and its a mess. Mages that opens with flamestrikes or blizzard , take it slow, single target the mob that is attacking the tank cuz the majority of the time u cant take the threat from him and let the tank built threat on the other mobs next to it .It wil be a more fun and better experience for all of us.

My advice it's to keep a threat add on and watch and adjust and read the room. Single target is good also , why the hurry? 5 minutes for a dungeon or getting back to elwynn forest . It's your choice dps
