Mob Magnate 1.6 Warrior Tanking Spec & Macro by Sashimi

[MaenMaen]

For those who like "Spotter Order" as finisher to get agro before 1.6 patch, might find this spec very similar.

This Spec is awesome for 5 Man Dungeon, MT/OT in Raid as well as Add tanking in Raid for VS Physical Damage. But if you are using this spec for OT, make sure to hold for 5 sec before join in the fight or you might overtake your MT agro threat. I dont say this spec is good, some people might like some people might think other spec better. but this work well for me, currently i am tanking in HK up to 4/11 with "Saviour Guild" in Leathys US Server.

You can adjust the soul point for this spec to suits your need. but the minimal point this spec need is

But you need to make it 20pts in Warlord for "Promise of Steel", 20pts in Paladin for "Disarming Counterblow" and 26 in VK for "Tempest".

The remaining point to reach 20 in Paladin, you can invest in "Intimidating" if you need more Resistances or a point in "Call to Battle" for raid damage buff, you dont really need to take Imposing as you will have very good threat already.

The remaining point to reach 26 in VK, you can invest in: Spell Sunder, Spellbreak, Devourer, and Quality Care. but you wont need to invest in "Energy Retention" as you pact will be up all the time.

Macros:
- Pull
#show
suppressmacrofailures
cast Sergeant's Order
cast Rift Summon

- AoE Attack Build up
#show
suppressmacrofailures
cast Promise of Steel
cast Tempest
cast Sweeping Strike
cast Aggressive Block
cast Retaliation

- Finisher
#show
suppressmacrofailures
cast Call to Battle (if you take it in Paladin)
cast Call to Entrench
cast Spotter's Order

Buff:
- Battlefield Awereness
- Aegis of Salvation
- Shield of the Hero
- Void
- Aspect of the Fallen Hero
- Battlefield Distraction / Cutting Distraction

Abilities that you need other than macro
- Shield Charge - Charge
- Pin Target - Rooting Target
- Disrupt - Increase enemy casting time by 25% for 10 seconds
- Furious Rage / Face Slam - for interupting
- Spellbreak - dispel your self (if you take it in VK)
- Spell Sunder - purge your enemy (if you take it in VK)

Additional Abilities if you can micromanage yourself
- Pacifying Strike - reduce enemy attack power / spell power
- Empowering Strike - buff your armor
- Leader's Mark - reduce enemy armor

With this spec, you will very agrofull to all mob arounds you, as you get that threat generate from the 3 abilities from VK, Paladin and Warlord which is Tempest, Sweeping Strike and Promise of steel as this ability generate "significant threat" not "additional threat".

Also the pull macro is to pull your mob (caster mob) toward you as the sametime force them to attack your for 3 second. so while the "Sergent Orders" on CD, you can use "Rift Summon" for the additional Mob

And lastly your finisher macro, Call to battle give more damage for the raid and Call to Entrench give more armor buff, while this 2 on CD, your 3rd finisher Spotter Order give the raid to do more damage.

thanks , i hope people can enjoy this spec.

hahaha i forgot to link the Spec... sorry

the basic soul spec
<a href="http://rift.zam.com/en/stc.html?t=1cEhg.xV0V0z.E0Rh00m.xe0Vc00z">Warlord (16) / Paladin (20) / Void Knight (22)

this is what i used
<a href="http://rift.zam.com/en/stc.html?t=1cEhg.eVzV0z.E0Rh00m.xe0qfz0z">Warlord (20) / Paladin (20) / Void Knight (26)

also you can subtitute some of "Hardened Will" to Gracefull Underpressure" if you need more Hit in HK tanking.

You should try this, You lose alot of mitigation by not taking devourer in VK:

How does this spec compare mitigation wise to a 38RV spec? this might be tempting to play with, bc it brings WL buffs i like, and a purge/dispell for situations.

just go 44 paladin 22 warlord 0 VK.

[nemecis]

you also get Rage Storm from VK, so actually you've got 4 AoE skills to spam. (which is actually over kill)

No need for this much AoE threat TBH, your goal should be more about mitigation once in HK.

there is a different, between Tempest, Promise of steel, Sweeping Strike (these 3 on the macro) with RageStorm. Rage strom give additional threat which is not as good as the other giving "significant Threat"
as each of this aoe threat are 5 sec cooldown. so when you start the encounter after you charge in. using this 3 ability give you the 3 attack power you can finish it with Call to Entrench. so even from the start your raid guildies all pop cd and everything. you still keeping agro and not being overtake.

as for the damage migation correct with iZemi said should get 5/5 of Devourer. for better migation.

as for comparing with 38 reaver 28VK 0Paladin spec. i found this spec give me better survivability as i get less damage.
