Forum post of the day: Why did you /gquit {WoW}
May 15th 2009 5:15AM Well - if the guild uses vent it's members should ofcoruse be on that .
We killed Illidan and everything before him pre 3.0, and reached Mimiron yesterday, still w/o any form of voice comm - a choice of our guild and it works fine :-)

It won't generate any threat if the tank is full on health.
However, a typical pull for a warrior is to shoot the mob, and then bloodrage - which makes renew heal the hp lost due to bloodrage.
There's also the danger of HoTs healing too early
before the tank has got time to gain threat on all mobs.

Oct 1st 2007 8:41AM DO NOT follow the advice of "Another sometimes handy threat trick is to throw a Renew on the tank just before he pulls/charges."
Why not ?
Consider a 3 mob pull. Tank pulls runs around a corner. Your HoT's tick. They will tick before the tank gain aggro on all 3. You get aggro. It's a certain healer killer to pre-HoT your tank in many heroics atleast.

Oct 1st 2007 8:38AM Timing matters.
As you say, if you wait longer, the tank(if he knows what he's doing) will have established aggro on all the mobs, and won't run for you.
Consider the tank running in to 3 mobs, they'll all hit him. He'll perhaps lose 1-2k hp. However, during this 1. second, the tank only has had time to smack up 1 mob. If you land a heal now, you might get aggro on the 2 remaining ones.
Learn how hard certain mobs hit, and how much damage your tank can take. Don't heal him too early - but watch out for real hardhitters that can kill the tank in seconds.
