Im having trouble holding aggro. What am i doin wrong ? Im spamming HP generation abilities and dump em all in SotR. But theres always some dps aggroing the mob they tunnelling(not my target). So what do i do? Tab target adds individually and judgement them? Are my stats too low?
Hmm, i almost always have divine toll up for start of the pull. Good for threat and grouping casters. I rarely use it mid pull. Only for important interrupts, if i really need it defensively or if i know itll be ready again.
If i dont have it. I build to 3 hp before pulling (if i dont have sotr running), throw AS omw in, plant with cons, and spam sotr and judg. If they manage to get mass aggro cause of aggressive burst i DS to taunt. Its a really low cd with the changes
Also what ilvl are you? Vs the ones that pull threat
Hello, my fellow pally tank. It’s hard to say for sure without seeing your playstyle, but based on your gear and your talents here are my humble suggestions:
-
Stat & Gear,
you need more haste! 17% haste for 624 ilvl is not enough, you need to strife for at least 25% haste unbuffed and then add haste flask to this. Haste flask is your best flask at all times.
Your stat priority is haste < more haste < again haste < mastery << crit < versatility -
Talents,
- Mandatory: drop Tyr’s Enforcer, Blessing of Spell warding (are you really using it that often??) or Uther’s Council and pick Bulwark of the Righteous Fury, rotate AS and SotR and this talent will increase Sotr’s damage and threat generation by 100%!
- Optional: drop any of above mention talents and pick Inmost Light. This will make Tyr’s Eye a big damage & threat generator for early stage of the fight.
-
Rotation,
Before pulling a new pack, spam blessed hammer 3 times to get your 3 points of SP. Then your opener can be as followed: Avenger Shield - Shield of the righteous - Divine Toll - Shield of the Righteous. This should give you a huge amount of threat but you can further increase by using Tyr’s Eye at the end or at the beginning of rotation. -
Addons
If you don’t have a Plater Addon with Quazii Wow configuration, I strongly recommend you to spend time and download & set it up, Quazi Wow has a very clear and detailed guide on it, it will dramatically increase your performance as a tank. One of the many things it does, it highlights enemy health bar in red, if the enemy aggro is not on you. Simply taunting that enemy will usually be enough to keep that mob on you from now on.
P.S. Divine Toll gives insane amount of aoe threat, try to make sure you have it ready before every pull. I usually use it either for establishing threat early on pull or disrupting several casters at the same time.

As a pally tank, i kinda never -or shouldni say, ever so rarely, lose aggro at start or mid. Even after last hot fix’s nerfs to the damage, thebthread is solid. That and Prot Warr’s too.
Try other tanks, the threat generated is less and keeping aggro on multiple adversaries can be problematic.
its a about you cd and were you pop them
this is a plain rotation, with though on them
" you might wanne go for more of your holypower generators, so during wings Judgment prio 1(becaus 2 holy power per cast during wings) than hammer of wrath/blessed hammer
Avenger’s is abit weird in the rotation becaus it does good dmg and give a litte bit of mitigation but give’s no holy power so, i doesnt fit right with the holy power generate and spend and every avenger’s shield you cast with judgment and blessed hammer not on cd is a missed holy power or 2
pre pull you can also pre cast blessed hammer 2/3 times and than go in with Avenger’s shield followed by a judgment and than shield of the rightous to have mitigation + dmg( the Avenger’s shield is pure to build stack for bulwark)
CD wise pull around your wing/divine toll ( divine toll is a great ability to pickup a pack) and the more holy power you generate and than also spend the more time you can have wings up
+Eye of tyre is also good bit of aoe dmg + 25% dmg reduction for 6sec , when the adds are closer together and you are in the middle of it"
as i also write already this spec trives on pump and dump of hp generators and spenders, and as sayed before Hast,hast,hast
using your sacrad weapon on the right person also can help
using your bubble taunt can also help, in moment
