How is it that tanks can hold threat? I wonder why I am able to stop them from attacking my team mates while they are attacking the enemy without generating enough threat to take it from me.


Why are they after me when I am doing the lowest damage. I have a shield so you can;t have 2 handed weapones.


How does choosing a talent type help as well? A protection warrior or a fury warrior being the tank. Why does it help to choose that spec?

Protection pretty much explains itself doesn't it? If you look through the protection tree you'll notice most of the points you can spend benefit spells that gain lots of threat. It doesn't matter about the damage you put out it matters about how much threaten the enemy.

You'll notice the only tanks you find will be,

Protection (Warrior)
Protection (Paladin)
Feral ( Druid )
Blood (Death night)

All because they are the classes that are made to tank with the spells they get/spec.

The reason you have a shield is because as a tank your job is the get all of the enemies to attack you, now if you had two weapons like you can have as fury you would be taking a lot more damage. When you have a shield on you get heaps more armor and a chance to block enemy attacks. ( IT basically makes the healers job a lot easier)

Sorry i didn't exactly answer you questions in order but it covers the lot

Happy Gaming.

Okay first off, no one should ever start out being a tank because its a freaking art. Second off, start with protection to be tank (hemce the word protection), and then duel spec for like what is it now? 1 gold? That way you can switch between. And I cant tell what your saying but I think you want to know how to hold more aggro right? Well, be the the first to attack, after 3 dps attacks use a move to pull aggro again, then so on.
