A lot of it is because the abilities that read as "causes high threat" now simply do tons of damage...

Multi target tanking on the Warrior (and presumably the Druid as well) is now a lot more arcadey. Before it was shield bash-tab-revenge-tab-devastate-tab-taunt etc, now I can run into a big pack of mobs, hit shield block, shield bash one, thunderclap the whole pack, shockwave them all (screen filling with numbers) and then watch shield bash and revenge critting past 2k on stunned mobs. At the moment I'm loving it though I admit it's a lot easier than it was.
 
Could the harness drops be to dumb down fustration and keep subs alive? I think the main reason might be down to them introducing harder instances and raids in WOTLK?

They nerf instances into the ground so that everyone has a chance of seeing the content before the new expansion

Indeed, they took a lot of stick over Naxxramas in vanilla. It was widely recognized to be their best raid instance to date, but only a tiny fraction experienced it. Sunwell Plateau is also recognized as an excellent raid instance, so they are presumably making sure more people can get to see it.
 
the reason i stayed away from the game until now is that it looked like you had to be hardcore to get to see the really good stuff.

however the patch has changed all that, hopefully now ill get to see the majority of the game :)

What server mate?

Yep, people are useless, even with the nerf and extra dps, if the noobs don't sort it you still won't down bosses.

I was going mental, I got air burst! The noob shammy thought he would stand on the tank! I was going mental.

Right now Magtheridon, I stopped and started WoW twice now! (each time it lasted approx 2months :rolleyes: ) First time was because I played for a few years on the US servers and I was getting restricted due to time zones. Second was with my brother on the EU realms and now I'm back for the expansion (the refer-a-friend tempted me).

Ended up on Mag because my brother had a 70 there, it was easier to run pre tbc 5 mans with a 70 friend along the way.

An old friend/guildie from the US servers is stuck on Archi, they are having very similar problems as you seem to be. Personally I put it down to attunement being removed, most guilds that only recently do BT and MH have skipped Vash and most importantly Kael which is a tricky fight. The first few bosses in BT and MH don't require to much focus from your whole raid.
 
Cleared SWP last night, not much of an achievement seeing as 4 monkeys dual wielding dirge could do it now, but i suppose it's nice to see it all after being stuck on murru for a few months, also got my boots finally 8/8 t6 :D

Awsome name :)


Well ZA is a joke. Went there with KZ people, a lock in full blues. and 1shotted everything. I was just AOE tanking everything. but of a joke tbh.


Then went SSC Pug'd. All trash me and other 2 warriors aoe tanked it all. DPS just AOE'd. Hydros.... OMFG.... I tanked him to 20% hp. and 500% dmg. then pulled him out of beam and ot took over... dam was easy... no res gear on anyone in raid..
Lurker did 1 dive.. down.
Leo no lock tank. I tanked all stages... easy.

Gunna do rest tonight after Archi in MH. Really really wanna finish the hand of Adal title chain atm. Need the imba tanking ring too.

Really reallyy am loving AOE tanking. Warbringer is officially the crapest talent on the warrior tree. I've seen it cause more over pulls than any other person. So glad i didn't spec it!

One thing i will say is - they have fixxed warrior taunt! Its finally got a decent range on it! means i don't have to run about to taunt. Put Vigilance on the other tank, and have no CD on taunt ever, and massive AOE threat!

SimpleMiniMap is a very good mod. Not 100% sure its resizeable though.

Warbringer is a superb talent. You can't blame the talent for someone tab targetting and charging the wrong thing. Admittedly if you're just tanking raid bosses only it will be of limited use, but now that content is so nerfed that you can effectively tank boss and adds at once, it's useful in some situations still.

Last night I was doing some quests in SMV. I'd charge one mob, shield slam it, run over to another mob to pick it up, charge a third and so on, and then aoe down a big pack of them. It made it a lot faster since I was getting plenty of rage to cleave and thunderclap on cooldown. Shockwave stun also gives you plenty of time to get out and charge back in.

So yeah, if all you ever do in the game is stand in front of one single raid boss and take hits the talent is useless. For every single other situation in the game it has value.
