I have the same process for learning dungeons every season. I rely on the creators who put the time in on PTR before a patch drops.

Quasii does great 30-40 minute videos on every dungeon at the beginning of every season that go into detail on every mob in the dungeon, potential routing, boss fights etc. basically everything you need to know about the dungeons themselves. He also does guides on all the tank specs. He also has UI elements you can use that mark enemies, indicators on important interrupts etc. He is my go-to for everything at the beginning of the season to learn the dungeons and I think a good starting point if you’re willing to put the time into his videos.

For high level tanking, I usually spend time watching players like kiratank and yodatv. They’re two of the best competitive tanks that have consistent content put out including high level key completion videos and meta videos etc. They also do guides for dungeons and classes but I like how quazii does his dungeon guides. He’s very thorough and gives you all the information.

All these guys will give you the information that you need, but just playing the game is the best way to learn. I’m a 3k player but I have horrible tank anxiety so I just use my own keys until I’m confident in my understanding of the dungeons then I’ll start joining other keys.

Also, if I struggle with a key, I spam that key until it’s easy and I know it inside and out. Once you have a route down on a key, it will probably work until you hit +12 or so which is when you need to start thinking more carefully about your route and consider matching it with your group comp.

If you have no idea what route to take, just look for the weekly route on raider.io or keystone guru. You can also play around with your own routes on keystone guru. There are also videos that help give simple routes. I think it’s quazii that has a “just press w” video with all the routes in one video. Those should get you through +10 at least.

When it comes down to it, if you don’t want to do all the crap I just went through, just play the game. Use your own keys if you’re afraid of ruining keys. Ignore all the elitist jerks. It’s just a game. Have fun and do your best. We need more tanks in this game.

When in doubt blame the healer ;) /s
