dmg spikes?

ok well my gear has exploded since the last time i was on here full time and seekign help got in a guild where i could OT kara and za we're 4/6 in za can't seem to get hexxlord down , but i'm curious i've tried to mt kara and others before juston off time, and always run into problems is it something that with a pally tank it takes alot of overhealing to keep us up with our big spikes we get or do i just hae bad healers? they heal the warrior just fine, my gear is more than enough for kara, but still get big spikes where i'll go from 100 down to 30 or less or they cant' seem to keep me at 100 i'm usually 60^ or less all the time then i get a bad spike and i die i know my rotatiosn are right , my gear is right and i got plenty of HP i know it's hard to know without a vid or something maybe i'll post our run of kara sometime but just wonderign if it's something i should tellt he healers to just keep overhealing if needed to keep me up.

afaik they should be healing nonstop and canceling the cast at the last second if you don't need the heal

The amount of healing required by different tanks with same gear is the same.

Your healers just suck.

Well you seem to have pretty similar gear to me, kinda lower dodge but well,that's nothing that should make you die in kara as long as you have 1 healer alive (heck, did half nbane with 1 healer on me today), and well,in this gear i tank SSC/TK/Za and sometimes Hyjal trash, and even that trash is harder than kara,just make sure your healers know that you're a tank,even though you're not a warrior

GJ there ¶¶

well thank you for the compliments on my gear etc....

i think i've just gotten bad timing, usually when i'm able to tank it's not our normal group i'll just have to be certain to keep up to stock on pots and stuff

it has taken a long time to gather up this gear, but i guess i've gotten it the worst way, i've always OT'ed so it's hard to know what to do and it's diff for a warrior and a pally so i have no one i can learn from just have to figure it out on my own.

At this point, you out gear kara. If your healers are complaining about your damage intake, it must be one of two things. Either you're letting holy shield down and are getting crushed (can be unpleasant against prince and nightbane), or your healers are undergeared/lazy/incompotent/baised against tankadins/all of the above.

I'd probably figure undergeared or lazy. Your damage in Kara shouldn't be all that spikey, and healers with gear on par with yours won't have any problem keeping you up. That said, don't be afraid to use a health pot if the healers do seem to fall behind a bit.

jtree must be a common name i learned everythign i know and got the ambition to make a pally tank from a guy on my server named jtree hehe

they dont complain about it i do, i watch it and it's like 1/4-2/3 of myhealth gone very quick in just a few hits and i dont understand it never see that on our warrior, we'll haev our main group runnin kara tuesday, (great for badges and still need that stupid necklace)and i'll see if i can get them better.

Noone is going to notice the presence or not of Thunder Clap.

Unless the healers can notice the difference in 0.2 seconds in the atk speed.
