How Does Rage Tank Get Changes in Mists of Pandaria

How does Rage tank get changes in Mists of Pandaria? Wowlvl90.com will share with players here. Rage tanking is in a weird place right now. Both as a tank and as a DPS in runs I’ve noticed a certain amount of squishiness that wasn’t there before, both due to certain abilities being fairly hard to use (Both Shield Block and a full Shield Barrier are expensive, costing 60 rage) and the loss of a lot of passive mitigation we were all accustomed to.

How does Rage tank get changes in Mists of Pandaria

Druid

– Auto attack rage generation increased by 75%.

– Thick Hide now provides 12% physical damage reduction.

Warrior

– Rage generation from Revenge increased from 10 to 15.

– Rage generation from Shield Slam increased from 15 to 20. (Sword and Board continues to give 5 extra, so 25 now).

– Reduced internal cooldown on Critical Block from Enrage from 5 sec to 3 sec.

– Increased damage reduction from Defensive Stance from 15% to 25%.

– Increased armor from Unwavering Sentinel from 10% to 25%.

Absolutely. Warriors in particular have been the squishiest tanks since the patch, with druids not far behind, and this change will help even out some of that sustained damage that erodes healer mana and thus, our lives.

The rage changes are nice (druids will now get 10.85 rage from an auto attack) because they’ll allow for rage tanks to be more often using their active mitigation. Honestly, high incoming rage really isn’t an issue for tanks, since we don’t use rage abilities for threat anymore (with the exception of rage bleeds like Heroic Strike or Maul) as much as we do for survival.
