Just a lil prot warrior advice?
So, I have a pandalady who is very "RAWRSMASHTANKALLTHETHINGS".
Back in Wrath, my main was a prot warrior, and I was damned good at it. The playstyle, obviously, was a bit different then; I was a tab-target demon and the thought of losing aggro was laughable.
But now? Well... I'm kinda crappy at it, for a couple big reasons that I recognize.
One, is... they seem to have changed how tab-targeting works at some point in the distant past. I no longer can tab around and have my targeting land on the things in front of my face (which made it easier, since I, yes, am a clicker and use no keybinds. THE HORROR.). Now I tab-target and I end up targeting something halfway across the room and out of range, while in the meantime I lose aggro on my pack of mobs that WERE appropriately trying to nom my face because the DPS are opening up on them and I have to try to frantically click around in the mess of nameplates to get the one that is turning red.
The second, is, well... the Charge. This has actually always been A Thing for me, but now I'm asking y'all how you deal with it. Cuz, yeah, when I charge? More than half the time it turns me around in the wrong frelling direction when the Charge is over, and it takes me a few seconds to turn around and get situated, you know, FACING my target(s), and again by then the DPS has gone all "LOLNUKE" on things and I'm losing aggro again.
How do all you prot warriors out there deal with the tab-target crapulosity, and the riddikulus post-Charge positioning? I want to be less of a fail-tank for my gf, cuz while I rock the shit out of Paladins and especially DKs, this warrior is making me look like a scrub and it's *embarrassing*.
