Hardcore Warrior Tank Guide

this vid helped a lot for someone whos never played the class and is leveling ssf

I'll prob never get a response but you didn't explain why you switch to fury at 50-60. Losing Sweeping Strikes -Cleave combo from arms is a HUGE dps and threat loss for 5 mans. In the video you can see by your threat plates you don't have aggro on all mobs even when there are just 4. Great vid otherwise but stay 2h arms tank until you step foot in a raid.

Be nice to see a guide when leveling a tank in hardcore

Can you still duel wield tank in SoD?

Is there a list of marcros you use? I must be blind if i dont see in description below. So many macros

What a shitty guide. You don’t have to be a sweat lord to tank. This type of guide keeps people from tanking

please make more guides most simple yet informative warrior tank guide ive ever seen in my 20+ years of wow

As promised i am here from your 24 hour stream!

Don't listen to this idiot.

This video is actually amazing.

That macro tip is pure garbage. A tutorial on how to lose 75 rage.

I'm way too dumb to tank

If only all the people who complain about warriors not using shields in dungeons 1-59 could watch this guide.
Healer: "I have to drink water after every pull when healing you".
Tank: "Yes but we save 30 minutes overall in the dungeon, have better threat generation, better rage generation, topping DPS meters as a tank, and mage water is free."
Shields are literally only for accidental 'big pulls' for PHYSICAL damage mitigation - Correct me if I'm wrong but most shields don't help with magical/spell damage at all.

Is that an addon to have like 3 rows of skills on bottom and the 2 rows on right side?

thanks for this video sardaco, was a really great primer for my alt!
seeya in naxx tomorrow lol

Could you do a full guide on your macros? I’m new and I tried setting some up and they won’t work correctly. It just types it in the chat

I absolutely love the guide - it would be amazing if you had a link or somewhere in the description listed the macro's :D! edit: as a question - for the abilities that have 2 stances, would you macro for both? or just one ie. rend and hamstring???

quick question, what addons do you use? if you can tell me it will be really appreciated!

When input the macros I need to click multiple times before everything happens. So if I make macro for charge + demo shout. I need to press 2 times. Or when have macro for charge. Indeed to click 2x the macro icon to switch stands then charge. It don’t go automatically. What do I do wrong?

For hardcore wouldn't a deep prot build just be safer?

Its not lvl 50 dawg ur vid is irrelavant

Great guide buddy, the best I found so far. Thanks <3

Should i be dual wielding or 2h for tanking at low level? Everyone says to go arms but every warriors i see are dw. Im confused.

Now i know why i see so meny deathclips about i never use shield dw warriors :D

Sardaco is there any way you can help a noob out here. I need a hook up on some macros I am new to wow all together and I am finding out about macros just now. Is there a way I can get my hands on some of them ?

GG Sardaco, very great video and guide, thank you!

Very well made, from someone who clearly knows wtf he's talking about. Appreciate you my guy.

If only every guide for every game I played was like this one. Great video!

Took a while to find the obe macro i cannot make work on pvt vanilla server, thanks

But what about the Crushing blows mechanic?
Also u can raid with this build?
im really confused

This is the best video I’ve come across. You’ve answered more of my questions in 6 mins than other vids that were 20 min+

You don’t need a shield until you do



Think about it. Seeen soooooo many idiots overpulll agro on even dw tanks. If everyone calmed the fuck down and did the “wait for 3 sunders” thing that we did in ACTUAL vanilla a lot more people would be alive mate

it still doesn't help if your under gear. at least as proc spec under gear doesn't go squish as fast when stance dancing.

I loved the video, thank you for making it.
I recently started playing HC as a warrior with the main reason to tank dungeons on a daily basis.
Therefore i was googling to see what the "best build" would be.

Lets say we dont have the gold to respec all the time, on multiple forums i came to the conclusion that:
Leveling as Fury isn't recommend because on low levels you dont have any hit gear and most of your attacks will just dodge, parry, miss etc.
So leveling as Arms was the best option.
But then on a forum i read that most of the talents of going full arms, isn't that beneficial compared to going protection.
The leveling speed will be just a little bit faster but survivabilty will be a lot lower.
For example; in protection you get access to Last stand, improved revenge and eventually concussion blow
Yes i have to agree this spec might be a bit more "boring" but as a HC player, i think its way better to have more "survivability" with a shield.
If it was just normal classic, i wouldve probably also went fury.

Let me know what you think and share your opinion.
Thank you!

This video is so unbelievably clutch. I'm respeccing today & will be main tanking raids in 3 weeks! Great video.

skull target macro so the rogue whos an asshat can ignore it anyways or have mages that like to aoe as you pull I'm so glad they are perma dying for their stupidity now

Discord link invalid.
Great stuff though, thanks!

Could someone post those macros?

Really solid guide, well made dude!

Send this to Mizkif asap

In the 50-60 you need bloodthirst also in the rotation

This was really great info, except i think the stance threat multipliers werent explicitly mentioned. I think that would help a lot for people to understand why they should be in defensive stance after the opener while pulling.

Also maybe worth mentioning the revenge and sunder baked in flat threat numbers.
