1.13 (2.0.1?) Player Test Realms Up?

I doubt it. Battleshout wasn't really used much as an aggro tool for the warriors we used while doing the throne strat. In fact I would keep 3+ mobs on me and never use BS at all for that strat.

I agree.

First off, Battle Shout only works as a massive threat generating tool if and only if your four (or more with pets) party members are in range to get buffed. Usually the party members of the main tanks in our raid keep their distance from Vek'lor for obvious reasons.

Second, I have read a discussion on the German boards where an off warrior noted that he would draw too much aggro off the main tank by using battle shout. There was a Blizzard official response effectively telling the poster that this is not intentional and will be looked into. Was quite some time ago, though.

There are so many ways for warriors to keep attention on them that I'm really wondering why such peculiar methods as using battle shout are in use at all.
