Q u o t e:
Put succinctly, imagine all 4 tanks tank groups about as well as a warrior tanked groups in Naxx, but that the mobs hit harder and AE damage was a little lower such that you wanted to CC and single target more of the pulls (but not every pull -- there is still a place for Blizzarding them all down). That's the goal.
I tanked in Naxx (v2) when it came out, but did it on an unholy DK with the old-style unholy blight AoE self-buff, so it was very easy to hold threat.
For those of us who didn't play tanks in naxx (v2), can you elaborate on what you liked about their tanking in naxx? I know you mentioned you like the abilities that warriors use when AOE tanking:
Q u o t e:
-- You hit more than one button.
-- You hit different buttons than you do when handling single targets.
-- You have to pay attention to crowd controlled targets.
-- You don't totally ignore your single-target abilities.
-- You might switch targets on some pulls.
But what was it about Naxx that was especially good? Enough threat to be able to hold a bunch of mobs against an equally geared mage using an AoE, but having to work for it?
