Original Post:

Hello! First time poster here. I am having a lot of trouble with AOE threat. I realize that this is an area where a DK should excel, but I am having a lot of trouble. I dont know if it is just me, or I am using a bad rotation, or what. I have no idea, which is why I came here... for help!

Example: Thorim

I was assigned War Bringers, and I had a VERY tough time. Granted, it was my first time ever tanking a 25 Thorim (I am trialing in a guild) but I felt like I was just doing terrible. I was having a lot of trouble grabbing initial aggro on the WBs. Unless I had a DnD down, it seemed like my initial aggro was more or less, useless. Do you guys have tips for picking up initial aggro when my DnD is on CD? I also had problems FINDING my targets, as well as maintaining them. I think I was going overkill on threat before I dropped one WB to find another.

I have a lot of trouble with adds, whereas I tank bosses a lot better. Is there a macro for finding the different WBs (ones I am not already targeting)? Is there a way to practice holding adds? I do fine when I have DnD down, but IT>>PS>>pest>>BB OB and RS with HB doesnt seem to work for me very well.

Thanks,

Tay
