Thread: Clue me in on Hatred?

Well - here's the kicker: Nobody guarded me, I guarded someone else (archmage) - and still no dice on hatred. I would think that with Menace and two abilities I would be genreating enough hatred to get anything to focus on me. Otherwise I simply can't see the point of tanks and hatred...

Use menace (and Ishas Protection, and PD, +1 depending on your spec... havent PvE tanked for a while). Guard a MDPS - the hardest hitter (not a healer who will detaunt and use reduced agro tactics) No guard on you Open with PoH, AoE taunt, the WoH, Gusting wind... you should have the attention of all the mobs now.
