Need some advice at Blood Tanking!

Post by davezznl

Hi everybody,

this may be a bit nubish but i really need some advice.
Ive always played as a hunter so tanking is something completely different

this is my armory:http://eu.wowarmory.com/character-sheet.xml?r=Neptulon&n=Undpntsgnome

and my rotation is:

it->ps-> pest-> ds-> hs -> hs -> dump!

And for groups:

dnd-> it -> ps-> pest-> bb -> hs-> bs

also i tried to macro run strike to my blood strike but i think i did something wrong anybody know how you do that?

Also is my build good or are there some improvement?
Rotation, are there better ones?
And final gemming is the prio:
-def rating
-hit rating
-expertise
-stamina
- and then dodge?

Well i hope some people give me some advice, thanks in advance!

as far as i read the threads, the current suggestions for gemming is "stamina" at all costs, after stamina go for dodge

that means, hit + def cap reached from equip already

edit: and afaik you dont need pestilence in single target rotation :)
to macro rune strike e.g:

/cast Heart Strike
/cast !Rune Strike

regards,
sevron

Duh offcourse wasnt paying attention when i typed it i think.

I read somewhere that expertise is best when your threat is low, and 26 expertise best? Is this correct?

How is build is it a good build?

And thanks for the macro advice ill try it out when i get home from work.

So to sum it up:

- get 1 point out SoB
- take 2 point out of hysteria and place then on subversion
- get def capped (done)
- get hit rating capped (done)
- get expertise capped ( 26 if im correct ? Im at 16 atm)
- 50-55% avoidance
- then it is stamina. For more health.

So for blood tanking you got few important abilities:

- heartstrike (because it hit multiple mobs)
- diseases
- DnD while group pulling
- death strike ( healing aggro)
- and blood strike? Or am i wrong here?

If read some articles about stamina VS dodge gemming and i got the idear that most people prefer stamina over avoidance tanks because it gives the healer a bigger buffer to heal. So if im correct as long as my avoidance is above 50% i should stack stamina?

Are there also some people who can advice with a good group pull rotation, cause most of the times im out of runes after DnD- IT - Ps - Pest .
This is what i mostly use as a starter.
