I’m starting to tank mythic+ content and I know what my talents do, I know my responsibilities (mostly) in dungeons, general routing and I use plater etc..
My question is now what makes me a great bdk tank vs an “ok, we survived the dungeon but that was rough” tank? What kind of things should I ensure I do well and practice as an “intermediate” player to get better at (for blood dk) in m+ dungeons?
I currently have a lv90 bdk (main) and a lv90 pres evoker (old main). I keep ping ponging back and forth between tank, healer, tank, healer. I don’t know what I want to commit to. I have a lv83 holy paladin and a lv84 prot warrior in the background. Indecisive much?
Anyway, how do you folks decide on if you’re tank material or healer material? I enjoy the solo self heal vibe of bdk, the raging out slamming of prot warrior, the beautiful bursts of glimmery green of the evoker, and now the golden shimmery lights and shield clangs of a holy paladin. Ppl out here being like “I’ve mained xyz for 14 years” how ? How do you commit?
I want to change my void elf bdk to a worgen bdk (trying to keep the racial run talent since bdks are so slow). Sorry if asked a million times, but as far as I know you get a name change too with a race change right?
I’m trying to be a better and more efficient bdk tank and reviewing the data after a dungeon to see how I did and was wondering what is the most important meters to track (as a bdk).
Right now I look at:
Damage Done - If I’m third or higher I’m pleased with that
Healing Done - bdk, so higher than the healer means I’m doing my healing job right? I think?
Interrupts - I’m usually the highest or second at least
Avoidable damage - my noob content is probably misleading, but I’m sort of in the middle of the pack. I try to avoid puddles etc, but I also try and get hit more than the party
I think that’s it… I don’t really know “logs” yet, or how to set that up for reviewing, but I guess that’s the next step.
