Hello guys,
Question for the veteran tanks around.
My main is a Prot Warrior, 5.8k GS, 45k HP and 33k Armor with about 30% dodge, 20% parry and 20% block, 586 defense.
I like tanking, always have, and it's my favorite role. I know how to play it well and my gear and build was invested towards aggro-keeping.
I've been tanking for years now, but been away from WoW for the past 3 years so I'm a bit rusty.
My question here is regarding DPS. Yes, I know this is pretty bizarre coming from a tank, but I try to do my best to output as much damage as I can in a raid. Currently, I'm sitting at 2.5k DPS completely unbuffed and my damage output was around 2M over a period of 45 mins. Most of the damage coming from Revenge, followed closely by Shockwave and then Devastate.
How well does 2.5k DPS unbuffed ranks in terms of what a good raiding group does and how important it is the damage output of a main tank in overall, in your opinion? Yes I know aggro keeping is #1 priority, not dps.
Thanks and have a good day!
