Hi,
I’m currently experiencing the Rogue Tank with some problems for generating aggro in multi-target packs. I especially struggle during BRD lava runs (with 5+ ennemies / pull).
I’ve read several guides, which do not always agree on some details. I’m playing Mutilate + Shuriken, and have a combat Skill tree (Blade Fury and Adrenaline Rush). My gear is far from perfect (still got 2 green items and no good trinkets).
My questions
1) What cloak rune do you really recommend for multi-targets fights (4+ mobs)?
- FoK seems easy but do not generate much aggro for its huge energy cost
- Crimson Tempest seems amazing on paper but too many mobs are insensitive to bleeding (skeletons…)
- With Blunderbuss I have better results (pull > shuriken > BladeDance > blunder when mobs are on me > Blade Fury if difficult pack > Mutilate > Tease mobs attacking my mates), but its CD is sometimes long when there’s an unexpected problem (aggro…), and only touches 4 mobs.
2) What poison should I use on my daggers? (and on which hand?)
- I really like sebacious poison (with improved exposed armor) but it generates less aggro for me
- Occult poison deals good damage and provides 10% extra damage for the group. But some rogues recommend to use instant poison for more threat generation.
I’d take any other piece of advice you can give!
Without 2 piece t1 rogue tank is just way worse than other tanks in dungeons. With it however they are great. It remains a mystery to me why blizzard would make rogue tanks unviable in dungeons until they get two pieces of gear from raid content.
With T1 2 set aoe is absolutely fine. And with p5 they look to be buffing the threat given by jafw. I would recommend BB and just small pulls without 2 set and mutilate is fine if you have swords just go MG and spam sinister strikes on everything once you’ve popped BB
Rerolle, this is not a joke or a lame replay.
some tank classes is just way better, and by the historie we have seen over SOD, buffs and nerfs only happens if you play a hunter =/ . and just looking over forum, Blizzard refuse to adres the problem with the bad tanks.
“I have been fighting for Rogues and warrior tanking on forum for months.”
safe you self the pain of poreing a lot of hours in to a sub optimal char, that will only bring you more frustration the enjoyment, pick a paladin/shaman/warlock.
War tanks are A tier according to wowhead 
cool didn’t know that
To ɓe fair rogues are really useful tanks in raids. Good utility being able to put sebascous and occult poison on everything with FoK.
And still no top 100 dps of any class is using a warrior tank on that fight.
Don’t believe me?
.sod.warcraftlogs.com
A full Max threat BIS geared warrior tank do abort 3062 TPS.
So miss one or two Shield slam and your dps need to stand still or over agro and die for 8 to 16 sekunds.
A pre-raid bis paladin tank do 4500 Tps.
People have givent op on warrior tanks, soon Rogues will follow, as the “wowhead” S tier is miles/years/blizzardLove a head of the rest.
I don’t matter what you Call the tier, when S tier is good and A tier is swormpAss.
Usefull yes, still a pain to Aoe tank, need gear to even work “specific gear, worst kind of gear dependent.”
and there still othere tanks, that are better and easier to play.
Reroll paladin tank, get 6set t1, stand afk let holy shield with 0sec internal cd on procs do the job for you, at same time you topping the Dps.
Aoe you are godlike.
Also got Wotlk version of 20% reduced dmg taken below 35% health, like blood DK style can never die.
Ontop of that shieldwall for 12seconds. Lay on hands etc… List is long, blizzard must be joking in this sod tbh.
Paladins need their threat reduced by like 100% and their dmg by like 40% and remove 6set t1 to make it even fair compared to other tanks.
