Tanking routine?

[kayal]

I was wondering if there were any routines for tanking (preferably Warriors)? I understand a lot more mechanics are involved in tanking, such as holding aggro and making sure fellow party members are not getting beaten by mobs not attacking you. Or are all routines meant only for DPS?

Well, singular handles all classes. Lot of combat routines are not designed for taunting. PureRotation also supports all specs as well, but does not handle movement and taunting. So you would have to do the targeting and movement and straight up taunt buttons.

I figured if there were routines for tanking/healing, the targeting and taunting would be controlled by the player. Thanks for the info! I will look more into the class configs of these CRs and see how it goes.

Now, singular will be more for lvl 1-90 where as Pure is for raiding and dungeons at 90

Actually, Singular is good enough for some heroic content. It just boils down to being able to toggle off some of the automated abilities for manual use.

I've tried configuring Singular many different ways, and I find it's hard to use in dungeons. It works, but if you're close enough to another group, it tends to chain pull by taunting at times, or doing some sort of throw. It almost seems as though it outruns combat. What I mean by that is that it seems to still be spamming commands, even after combat is over, for a second or two. I think that's why it chain pulls sometimes. It's tricky.

I use singular in all lvl 90 raids, currently 10/12 toT, it is by far the best routine out there, and god only knows i have tried them all.

I've been using PR for DK and Monk tanking, works like a charm.

Nomnomnoms Warrior Routine ( Fury Unleashed ) is fantastic for Prot - Don't let the name fool you.

And there is an update coming in a few days with some quality of life improvements for the Prot part of the routine (Like easy switching between Shield Block and Barrier, via Hotkey OR via the GUI).

Well, credit where it is due, I have just tried this and so far i'm impressed on my prot warrior, racials, every man for himself not being used, and have not seen it disarm either, but initially its looking good. Are you going to add a Taunt in there for tanks too?

Not sure I am loving the recommended talents as it conflicts with all that i have read.

Sorry for the confusion. The recommended talents are for Fury only. I will clarify that tonight in the post and add a recommended Prot and Arms version .

The power of the routine is actually its flexibility. Disarm is something I have to add, noted and will be added. I play horde, thus it looks like I'm missing the every man for himself racial. Will also be added in the upcoming version!

I do suggest reading through all settings, and see what's possible and not. And as this is a Tyrael (Lazyraider routine), taunt isn't something which I would let the bot handle. Would be really weird in raids . I could add a Always taunt function to it, but disabled by default.

And please, If you have remarks, bugs, suggestions or a thank you ... Post it in my topic. I will read that alot more then this topic .
