i don't like blood bc I hate rune management
I have mained a Prot War for most of the 18 years i have been playing. I have only ever switched away in Legion when they just were not good and I briefly mained a DH because they were new and OP out the gate.
I just thinking of Prot Wat as THE tank from a fantasy POV. Prot Pally is not bad for that either.
3.1k Brewmaster alpha male here, not some p. Prot paladin, makes me puke, playing with 2 buttons because you can literally macro every single ability, or bear dont make me even start, even warrior is meh spamming 2 buttons over and over.
My all time fav has to be bdk, now maining dh. Gotta admit the extra jump and movement are really intriguing, happy new year Marcelion and Flame!
They need more tanking classes. And they need to make tanking and healing more enjoyable in M+
So best tank is Prot Pala….Shock. Meta much.
For me it’s the class fantasy of Brewmasters that always has me coming back to it every time. But my 2nd and close one is BDK
its funny, I find prot pally boring as all hell, its completely OP flavor of the month as well which lends to making it boring as hell. Its the childs tank, a child could play it just fine, just throw avengers shield and keep up avengers shield other than that, just mash buttons and you will succeed. There is no rotation realy or careful planning of cooldowns compared to other tanks.
Top tank and top healer in M+ for me is Blood DK..
I love the UI you show in the video for prot palidan is there any way to get the string for it ?
I like Brew the most , shame blizz dosent haha , we see with the new patch notes haha
Blood main here but nowadays I just play Unholy not as fun playing a tank that can get one shotted if only they had those cheat death trinkets again. I do enjoy Vengeance and Monk too just not very good at it. I also Agree that we need Shaman tank
Blood dks Its the setup for pulls. Plus you have to have a healer that understands how the dks healing and midigations work. I like dk but reality is pallies alot easier. Tool kit wise
Solution for Blood Dk: Replace death strike self heal to a self shield. Simple as that
Thank you for TLS 🙂
my personal top 3 is 1: Prot paladin 2: Bremaster monk 3: bear druid
Here's my personal list
#1 paladin
#2 warrior
#3 bear
#4 demon hunter
#5 blood dk
#6 monk
I just think it's fun to run around spamming swirly hammers, throwing shields around, like a mobile prot warrior.
Dh s3 DF state
I´m extremely disappointed in blizzard as a tank atm.
Blood fantasy has been my favorite since they came out. But wish they had a shield. I feel like tanks should have shields. Prot warrior is fun when it does a ton of damage. But it has absolutely no utility. Once you get to be a super efficient tank. You get so good at tanking you want to start helping your team. Warrior can’t do that. Blood DK can throw an Anti magic zone up. But that’s about it. Paladin is always the go to because they have so much to help their team. GIVE US A SHAMAN TANK. Which would help counter paladin like it’s always should
My 1. Is Brew, yea i know its dogshit but for me just pure fun since Mop
2. Warrior just love for this class since tbc and was my main till SV Hunter became Meele 😅
3. Normaly DK then since wotlk youre a healmachine but since the steroid bear skin & the elune flavour Bear is my Nr. 3 😊
Ps. As a swiss i prefer my real army knife 😂
I still genuinely want them to bring them getting a holy power on avenger shield the flow was just too fun.
I play Blood DK and im love its super cool when my team dead on last boss in 10 Grim Batol i did Solo the boss from 12% and only CR the healer on 2% boss! But its crazy heart attack styler.
Prot warrior is more chiller and relaxing. I really dont know why am I playing DK and not Prot warrior. Prot warrior is Super clear nice so my tank list is. Prot warrior – Blood Dk and Prot pala!!!
Buuuuuuuut i will never give up and still waiting 2004 ago Blizzard give it to my my Shaman Tank spec on retail. I wanna tanking with my 20 year old shaman
The 3 easiest tanks in the game! Classy my fellow buckwheats!
Can't blame you tho, the other tanks are quite terrible. Either in terms of healing, self-sustainability, or just how complex they are.
prot war will always be my favorite but brewmaster BFA S3 was so much fun I love brew tanking they need to fix that spec so much! Vengeance is my 3rd pick can’t beat how much fun vengeance is tanking!
Most fun for me:
S – Bear
A – Monk
B – DK/DH
Avengers shield, midagation in so many ways. I use Yodas tallent tree for mythic.
As a tank main that’s currently playing healer, these three are the three tanks I hate healing the most lol. 😂 Prot Warrior MVP! Or Brewmaster.
Bear does well it’s just soooooo boring
i love the fantasy of prot paladin, i wish the tank/off healer spec would be viable as much as tank/dps.
Guardian Druid shouldn’t be on this list for many reasons animation moveset it does in bear form is poorly designed blizzard lazy af in numerous expansions
Each class melee or spell casting class animation should evolve as well from basic melee to basic spell casting & hard cast form 😑
what are those laptops?
I really like blood DK, prot warrior and prot pala. Thinking about leveling my druid next
Give me a shaman tank spec and I will never play another spec again. Please for the love of god blizz
Brew, Prot Warrior, and Druid are my favorites. I prefer the rage tanks the best, and have mained a prot warrior since The Burning Crusade.
Always find it funny that people actually like prot paladin because holy power generation as a design is fucking CHEEKS.
Bear main for a very long time but I stopped tanking about 2 months ago because it felt like I just didn't have the tools to survive a +10 weekly without feeling stressed. Switched to Ret as I had never played it and had a ton of fun and oddly enough felt more tanky on Ret than I did as a bear as I always seemed to have a CD for pretty much everything plus I did a ton of off healing and used BoS. This last week I tried Prot Pally and love it. Unlike bear I have a ton of actual mitigation so I'm not worried about running out of defensives and getting one shot in just weekly +10's. Despite only playing Prot for a couple of weeks back in legion I've already been able to get a higher score on Pally than I have on bear. Being able to DP every other pull is freaking insane.
I want to love Prot Warrior but its visuals are lacking for me. Despite that I love the way it plays so I still tend to play it on occasion.
DH was great in BFA where I pushed for portals for the first time but I didn't like the rework of spirit bomb, I've always preferred the 30's buff instead of trying to maintain high stacks.
DK has some of the coolest visuals but I suck at playing it. I've tried but I get way to stressed out when my health spikes like it does on DK. I had a ton of fun as frost back in Wrath though.
Monk has never been a tank I played. I am just not a fan of the aesthetics, mogs or the way it tanks.
I need to know what player profile is being used on the blood dk
Im convinced brewmaster is getting a rework after the holiday break because the change to dance of wind.
Dance of the Wind has been redesigned – Now reduces physical damage taken by 10% and an additional 10% every 4 seconds until you receive a physical attack.
They changed this spell for mw and ww but didn't mention brew, which makes me think we will get a blue post soon.
I wonder what the bottom 3 tanks are
