Honestly, tanking in H VH is about making sure everyone knows their priorities. You can’t really mark them because of time, but just set out a pre-emptive kill order. I do the mage type first, because they frequently drop aggro anyway to do that channelled spell, are annoying with the knockback spell, and if a DPS does steal aggro, they’re just gonna eat mostly magic damage. The rogue types, stalker I think, should go down next simply becase of their annoying teleport ability. Third type, can’t remember name, hunters maybe? And lastly, the captains. Everytime I’ve seen tank trouble or had it myself it’s because some moron decides to solo the captain and then get’s a spear or seven in the face. It’s to the point where I always ask if people know the bosses and I always set up the kill order before hand. Really though, this in general should be common knowledge for most DPS for unmarkable mobs take priority over basic warrior types). Or are you having just general problems with AOEers?The portals all ways spawn the same mobs.
On the ones that spawn the packs I stay around 20 feet back from the portal, hit one withh FFF and then Demo Roar, followed by a Swipe based rotation. Usually grabs all of the easily. Watch out though one of them likes to shadow step behind you. When they do that I just back up or pivot to ensure Swipe and Maul will still hit them all.
The ones with a guardian of some kind I run up on the portal before they spawn. I try and stay about 5 feet off the portal at roughly a 45 degree angle. I use a more Mangle based rotation but still lean heavily on Swipe. I usually don’t realize I have the extra mobs until the big guy dies. If one starts to make a break for it I will target and FFF or taunt as needed. These little buggers are non-elite so don’t usually sweat it that much as they don’t hit that hard and are easy for the DPS to nuke down.
Hope that helps.-Day light savings is for fools.
