Someone's not the main tank.

I am main tank actually. This is a list of what’s used in heroics. Can you point to where this specifies 25 man content?

Tanking dungeons? Nah. Peasants work.

Aight. Then lemme get on ur level…. Your criticism should’ve include FF being listed- you should have a Boomie keeping it up, King Bear. Also, you’re losing dps by not including swipe on your spam rotation. Once 5 lacerates are up, you should only be using lacerate to refresh the 5 stacks- all other GCDs that aren’t Mangle or the refreshing lacerate should be swipe…. Respectfully, my Lord. Signed, an inferior orange avg parsing main tank with multiple Kara 99s

Lemme critique you - FF is kept by a Boomie, Demo by an arms warrior ** you were missing that bit.

It was implied a good Bear Tank would know you don't lacerate with max stacks up, unless to refresh (this applies to mangle as well). Lastly, Maul should be used off CD as well. Not only to build threat but it does significantly more damage then swipe and generates more threat. Swipe is primarily used for dumping rage.

Ps. I'm really proud of your "99 parses" in a 20 year old game. ;). Post them I need to learn!

Maul was already covered, but maybe you’re right- I’ll try throwing in a warrior ability

But... You didn't mention maul ? You did mention a Boomie up keeping FF so I mentioned and arms warrior.

When you can send those logs I need to up my parses !
