Not a tier list. Tanks all offer different ways of play both defensively and offensively, lets discuss all and find what one will possibly tick your boxes.

lol the moment you said, you can go into cat form for damage as guardian druid. I left. 😛
Please be good dk please be good please be good…i know blizz is promising to balance everything and thats why i have to pray…
Yep I'm glad the tank specs are all viable and the gap between them is smaller. I like pally and warrior tanking but when they are being out preformed by dks and DHS it annoyed me cause groups would refuse to let me into the party in favor of flavor of the month picks.
Someone please tell me what addon he's using that has his party names and target clean and organized at the bottom other then all lined up from top to bottom on 5he laeft
I am not even tank player and I learned valuable lesson in this video from observing his tank style. He always turn back after the approach not only to give melee dps better position, also giving him better secure view of all party members. I will implement this technique if I play tank later.
I would love to try out a Pally, but that mobility limitation is a no-go for me. It's ridiculous.
On the Prot Paladins, I think some people underestimate the permanent AOE slow from consecration. It's an indirect damage mitigation, You can keep all mobs permanently slowed, and kite around still producing lots of damage/threat from range. This is so damn cool imo, as it allows the healer to pump DPS while the prot pala is self suficient with kiting and self healing.
Still, i'm not sure how popular the 50% slow for consecration talent will be tho.
its amazing how many guide vids i see where they aren't using….

macros for aoes's it just makes life easier!
Great video. Always a dps since the start but the hectic playstyle of DH makes me want to give it a chance.
Great indepth video, instead of just telling the masses what's meta atm and people blindly following that choice without even understanding why it's meta.
Leveling a brewmaster now. It’s fun
"Shart cooldowns"
Someone didn't try the build that gives 100% SotR
Stuck Between Brewmaster And VDH. Others like Blood and Pally were all enticing, but that mobility for pally/blood really turned me off. Warrior wasn't even in the ballpark, but that's just me.
what hud is that, it looks clean
pros and cons pulled straight from icy veins
Just a note, pala can heal others, not only self healing, the word of glory can heal your dungeon mate for 70% of their HP and if you get more procs of divine purpose you can TANK, CC & heal the whole group within seconds, its the best tank for me now
So you're saying every spec is going to function like they have the past 3 expansions? Warrior n' Pally – damage mitigation, Blood – heal it all back etc.
how is prot pally vs blood dk as an all around content tank? 1 character for raiding, mythic, and pvp?
Gotta say pick a good healer and tank is whatever 😂
They need to fix dh seriously very poorly thought out spec with impossible up time in mitigation. Very squishy and very clunky. Sad how much thought they put into it. Next to none
A very good sum up, thanks for this video. It helped me pick my main
As a healer blood dks right now arent viable on hard hitting mobs. They get 1 shot from some dungeons like the giants in halls of lightning. Blood DK is only useful if they live long enough to be able heal. Scaling on some mobs are way overturned but Blood DKs are very weak right now.
I'm seeing warriors that are very strong tanks from a healer standpoint.
S tier: Vengeance DH, Brewmaster tank
B tier: prot paladin,BDK
C tier: Prot warrior,guardian druid.
Just wanted to point out that, tho i get what you meant there, imo saying that Blood has a reactive playstyle is a bit misleading since the thing you are supposed to press to react to damage requires you to have seen it coming and have stored enough recources to deal with it.
I just want the ability to turn off other players spell effects. Can't see anything as tank.
From a healers perspective. Who is the easiest to heal?
Hey man, what UI add-on is that? It looks really smooth, and I've been looking for one that is cleaner than the normal game
Im so sad that blizzard left guardian behind since legion. I just love how the bear plays. Would be great if we had no cd on frenzied regen but cost rage and the heal would based on the rage you use. Would fresh up the class a bit. And its great to have those extra abilities from the Heart of the wild talent but almost none of them can be used in bear form. Imagine having Hearth of the wild which lets you use one ability in bear form based on your affinity. Like Starsurge for boomie aff, reju for resto aff, and rake for feral aff. Would change your rotation a little bit or atleast somewhat more enjoyable to play the class. But i found that prot paladin has the biggest "pugcarry" potential for mythic+ with those offheals.
what is the intro song you use?
The armor so far is quite disapointing
the thing thats interesting about the prot pally, when we look at bfa, it really wasnt rated very well compared to the other tanks. that being said, i didnt see any other class solo various raid bosses when they were the current raid or solo clear every dungeon on mythic difficulty, within the first week or 2 of mythic being released (before mythic+ was released). so it could be the same as bfa, lowly rated but in reality it could achieve levels that no other tank spec could even come close to matching. but it could also go the other way. ive rolled one just incase this time around haha
I really dont understand why every single video like this one keeps perpetuating the bullshit claim that bears have no way to deal with magic? Are you forgetting that Barkskin and Survival Instincts reduce ALL damage, not just physical?
For some reason, these content creators have been spreading this misinformation for the entirety of BfA and it's truly baffling that they still keep going now that bears will have more uptime on those cooldowns than ever. Baseline CDs on SI and Barkskin have been significantly reduced as well as the introduction of legendary that further reduces the CD. With talented Survival of the Fittest you can get Barkskin to 40second CD (and even less with the lego) and SI to 1,5min with 2 charges. What more do you want lol? I mean sure, bring mark of ursol back (or w/e was it called), I'm sure bears won't complain.
Why have this "guardian druid is weak against magic" narrative so prevalent among reviewers? You get basically a shield wall/Icebound fortitude every 35sec now with Pulverize rework, that reduces all damage, in between these 35sec, you have survival instincts, 2 stacks for 12sec, barkskin albeit for only 20%, then frenzied regeration.
Look I've written too much, what I've should noted is that from the entire druid's survival cool down kit, ONLY ironfur doesn't help mitigating magical damage.
Which interface add-on are you using for player/target health and status?
Main tank brewmaster, also I will use guardian druid as an off-tank and I will use prot warrior as well, it will feel a little more challenging than the other two and I like that.
You guys remember when our borrowed power was fucking tier sets -_- that they could tweak classes slightly with yeah me to. Fucking bring it ba k
the bear is the easiest to play. and yet there are people who completely fail at tanking… i have been a bear tank for 15 years. and even in these shitty times of being the lowest tier. people have been failing at it so badly… then im wondering how they can mess up 2 buttons.
