Threat conversation

[gramz]

Theoretically two tanks should be able to hold aggro on a mob doing nothing but taunting on CD.

So lets assume a tank does an initial 5k damage in 5s. Giving him ~7.5k "threat", then the OT uses both taunts (AOE and Single target) The OT now has 12.675k "threat" The MT now does this, and has 21.42k "threat". The chain taunts should take another ~5s. In total 10s has elapsed. This gives us 2.142k TPS. Meaning to pull aggro, a dps will have to maintain approximately 2.8k DPS to pull aggro.

Back to my single button tanking thing, so lets say the above has taken place, and the tank hasnt done any attacks other than the taunt swaps. If the two tanks rotate taunts , every CD. This means that after a minute (so 1min 10s into fight) the tanks will have approximately 222k "threat'. That is literally doing NOTHING but taunting. To pull aggro a dps will have to be 1.3x that, or ~290k damage in 70s, or 4k dps SUSTAINED, which isnt possible. And all the tanks have to do is taunt on CD.

Is this totally and completely wrong? If not.. this is so very broken and needs to be changed. I'll be giving this a shot in a raid probably tonight and will make a video if it turns out to be true.

Even for a single tank, just tautning on CD. Lets assume an initial 10k threat. After a minute (4 taunts) becomes 52k threat. Toss in AOE taunts, (2 / min) and you are at 78k threat. Doing nothing but taunting on CD.
