Guide to Tanking - Threat

Now that you are specced and geared for tanking, it is time to actually get around to learning how you go about tanking effectively. The main thing to remember when you tank is to gain threat. Sounds simple right? Well for the most part it is, especially against a single target.

Each of the types of tanks have a specific thing they need to do at the most basic level to generate enough threat to hold aggro and tank an enemy. For Druids you must be in bear form and for Warriors you need to be in defensive stance. For Death Knights and Paladins it is all about their presence or aura, which are Frost Presence or Righteous Fury respectively. These abilities allow you to generate much more threat than you would normally for the damage you are causing. This is what allows you to hold threat while other DPS classes are causing significantly more damage than you do.

In addition, each class has access to several abilities that cause additional threat. These vary from class to class but are generally identified as abilities that cause high threat, such as a Death Knight’s Death and Decay ability. They cause even more threat than they should due to their damage and then this is multiplied by the normal threat increase of your tanking ability.
