How's Prot Looking For 11.1?

Hey everyone,

I’m looking to give WW a shot again. I started full steam ahead when the expansion launched on my Guardian Druid! I achieved 8/8N 8/8H NP and got my 2k rating within the first week - It was awesome and pretty fun, however; not long after, I got extremely bored and quit.
At this point, especially after talking with some friends, I believe it to be because of my choice of tank.

With all of that out of the way, how’s Prot Warrior doing right now in 11.07 and shaping up in 11.1?

all the tanks will function fine at the levels you are mentioning but prot is looking like its going to fall off at the higher levels right now.

Can you elaborate on higher levels? Are we talking anything over +12?

quite a bit higher than that but we wont know for sure until the patch drops just in the ptr after their nerf there is much to be desired

Unfortunate. I’ve always enjoyed Warrior/Prot - But I’m happy to know that keys where I’d feel comfortable doing will be just fine.

Here’s hoping for buffs!

Thank you

As of now it looks like DH and pally will be the top tanks by a fairly large margin. Warrior was already behind pally and is getting significantly nerfed further. Brew and Guardian aren’t getting any real buffs or changes. I don’t know enough about DK to really know where they are at.

basically at this point people are pretty much in agreement that prot war is one of the worse m+ tanks and was already pretty bad for raid.

Thane is going to be the only viable option currently unless its pure single target.

DK is pretty solid and our toolset is really good for kiting and pulling if need be. On top of the self healing we can live through a ton of damage. I make d war since 05 and this was the first xpac my dk took priority and I’m glad blood isn’t getting nerfed. It’s a shame I loved how prof plays rn

Watched Quazil’s review and it’s sounding like I’m sidelining warrior this season and playing death knight.

I though port pally got some major buff so they aren’t as good as S1.
