Any pull where you tank more than 2 mobs, you should be aiming the HoJ to relieve healer stress.<BR/><BR/>You may want to save it for stopping a heal / dangerous spell cast, but I find its most useful just to use on a hard hitting mob a couple of seconds into the fight.<BR/><BR/>First couple of times I ran Heroic Slave Pens pug healers thought I was insane tanking all 3 bogstroks. But by using stun at the ideal time (and having strong dps) the first bogstrok hardly hit me.<BR/><BR/>Keep in mind as Tankerboots said, dps is CC - the longer the mobs will be hitting on you = longer healer is being strained, and therefore the worse your gear will seem to the healer.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3190673057769546823.post-18686915341335000912008-06-13T15:15:00.000-04:002008-06-13T15:15:00.000-04:00Agreed, mobs in heroic hit *hard*, just because yo...Agreed, mobs in heroic hit *hard*, just because you have some good gear and can AOE tank does mean that you don't need CC. I was the same way starting out, but as you gear up, you need less and less CC, then before you know it, it's H SH all the way with no CC. <BR/><BR/>But... it's also about the group. DPS is CC as far as I'm concerned. the faster a mob drops, the less damage it does to you and the less strain on the healer(s). As a Tank, you need to asses your group and choose your battles carefully. What can your healer handle, how much damage can your DPS output, how much damage can you take? Once you get an idea of this, you can make your choices to go CC heavy or CC lite.<BR/><BR/>There is no shame in using CC as a pally tank. It's all about getting the job done.<BR/><BR/>Timewarden's Leggings is by far one of the best pieces you can get at the beginning, throw +12 stam gems in it and rock on. I used them until I upgraded to the Inscribed Legplates of the Aldor. HP is a MASSIVE help anywhere you go. It translates into more time for the heal to land.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
