Immolation Aura and Threat Generation (VDH)

[Pürr-argent-dawn]

Been pushing keys on my VDH and loving it but I do struggle currently with generating enough snap threat on a pull, especially when going into a fresh pack. On my warrior a simple thunderclap is usually more than enough to get threat on you from the get go, even if Devoker/Warrior is charging into it with full cds but with VDH immolation aura not only hits like a wet noodle but simply isn’t enough to keep the packs on you.

A lot of the time I’m having to prep souls, save sigil of flames and go into the packs with immo already up just to keep the mobs hitting me, and currently we are not the tankiest of tanks so chasing after stray threat, especially when the dps runs away with it while having to worry about rotation to stay alive can be stressful. On my low geared warrior I don’t even have to think about it and if I do I simply have a mass taunt → thunderclap that fixes it for me.

In Academy on the tree boss I even have to save Fel Dev and potion of shocking disclosure just so that I can keep the adds on me and beg the rogue/hunter for misdirect. Again, things I do not have to even think about when on the warrior.

A buff to threat generation and increase in radius from immolation aura would go a long way I think. We worry enough about our survivability without having to pool resources and save cd’s just to maintain our threat.

yes… Threat generation was always a huge Struggle on VDH. But it s fine if u know what to do.
The problem is aktually a Prot Warriors Meta with Mass Taunt. Everything they need to do is to press 1 button and all pack (5 or 50 npcs doesnt really matter) is running to him. It s not very difficult to do that when they really dont care about how to survive… they just need to press one button (Revenge) and they can tank 5-50-500 mobs. And DPSers are not even thinking about that they really need to care about aggro when they are playing with other tanks (99% of all runs they play with Prot Warriors). So - it s a huge failure in M+ Tank Design to give one more class a Mass Taunt. We have atm Monk with Statue. We have Bubble Taunting. We have now Warriors.
But still - VDH is fine.
