With the release of the Wrath of the Lich King expansion pack wow gold, we get a bunch of toons ready and level up to work with the onslaught of level 55 Death Knights that will be running around the Outland in search of dungeon parties.
We won't be rolling a DK for quite a while, figuring that there'll be enough of them out there that the other classes and roles will be easier to get a party with. But we want to say one thing for this whole DK situation: being a tank is more than leading a party.
The introduction of the dual wielding damage dealing rune using DK is means to help address the tank shortage that is perceived in the game. The problem is that the role and responsibilities of a tank are not what most players expect it to be and when they realize what is expected of a tank, they decide it's not what they want to do, and they're DPS, not a tank wow gold.
This doesn't mean someone who is DPS geared and spec'd can't act as a tank in an instance. They can do anything but may find it difficult to find quality DPS and healers who want to party with them on an ongoing basis unless they're over-geared for the instance and giving run-throughs.
Leading the dungeon party's direction and to be the object of the enemy mob's hate, taking damage and protecting the rest of the damage dealers and healers in the party is the basic role of a good tank.
It's largely expected that for a group to be successful, the most important parts are that the tank and healer are solid. Having poor DPS can slow down a dungeon run in a severe way as well but having a poor tank or poor healer almost always spells doom for a party wow gold.
Knowing that we're all in a process of learning about how to play our classes as we're leveling through to the level cap, so excellent healing or tanking is not required. What is required is that the tank can judge the quality of the group's healer, so it knows how hard and fast the party can be pushed without having to spend time getting ready to go again after a wipe wow gold.
Setting the pace is one of the toughest things for a new tank to learn, especially since Wow has been going for many years and it's likely you'll get at least one member of your PUG party who is high on knowledge about the particular instance, but low on patience for waiting for you to start the fight.
A good tank will know that a DPS is using a passive-aggressive, non |
