Be All the Tankadin You
Can Be
It's been a while since our Tankadin guide went live, and many things
have changed since then, not the least of which was the 10% boost in
stamina and health that brought Tankadins close to warrior health
levels. This guide covers all the basics from threat generation, attack
rotation, and builds to more advanced topics such as gear and macros.
If you're a Paladin and thinking of trying out tanking, or a
tankadin that needs a little help, or even another class that wants to
understand how tankadins work, check out the guide.
A Tankadin gains aggro through the holy damage that
you
cause. This means that to hold aggro on a target you need to
cause as much holy damage as possible. This means that you
need to have a decent amount of +damage gear so that you can cause
enough holy damage to hold aggro. While doing this you also need to
worry about your primary stats of Stamina and +defensive skill that
your healer can actually keep you alive.
