How to Tank (5 Mans) in World in Warcraft

Step-by-Step Guide

1. 1

   Step 1: Must have a shield and 1h(One Hand) weapon.

   Healer must be Holy/Resto Spec. ,, Pretending this is your group, before starting to fight Mobs, assign different Target Icons to people in your group.
   
   Skull = All dps Star = Rogue Stun Square= Hunter Freeze X=Mage Poly , The one middle distance is the one YOU the tank pulls.
   
   The one furthest in the back is always the one hunter pulls and freezes. , Do not charge, pull its the safest way.
   
   Soon as you're guys drop the Skull go for the Square since the Freeze effect wears off faster than the Rogues stun.
   
   Then move on to your last target. , (Remember it is not your job to kill them! Just to make sure they only hit you) ,, Thunderclap is useless unless it's for countless Mobs, in which case you should allow your mage to do the job. ,, Do not let anyone else pull.
   
   If someone keeps doing it, kick them from group and replace them. ,, They will keep inviting you as tanks are extremely needed, congratulations on picking the right class! , Don't try to save your own butt by running, because 9 out of 10 times they catch up to you and kill you anyway.
   
   Protect the healer at all costs, and he will keep healing you regardless of how extreme the situation is.
