At Level 15
A whole new game starts - the dungeon finder is made available and the tanking journey starts.
So I hit 15 last night and straight away queued for a dungeon. It was quite a surprise to be tanking again, for one I was missing the complete arsenal of abilities a lvl 80 warrior has at his disposal: Shield Slam, Shockwave, Sword and Board, Devastate and Warbringer (in no particular order) and the lack of rage was quite a schock. I found myself limited to just basically applying stacks of sunders and if it was a larger group of mobs, pray that I had enough time on them to build enough rage for a Thunder Clap.
None of it is really a concern, since instancing is easy and most people know how to get out of trouble, but it’s funny as a tank I always feel responsible if a mob runs off, even if the DPS was targeting the wrong target or started hitting it before you even got near. At this level taunt is your friend! Sunder Armor a close second and then rage permitting, well take your pick of TC or Revenge or Heroic Strike.
Oh and do yourself a favour, grab a shield and go into defensive stance! Your healer will thank you. :)
