#No changes !
use your level 60 party kings buff, muchos threat !
Sure if the pally is second in threat. Otherwise, ummm… yeah.
So paladin tanks can tank up until they can’t. That’s a long ways away.
Bring other tanks with taunt and leapfrog the aggro.

Tanking boss that requires tank swap. Warrior tank has most threat. Below him are 3 dps, then the pally tank.
Pally BoPs warr, then boss stomps the 3 dps before getting to the pally.
How do other tanks help? If another warrior or druid taunts, then they’re at the top, and the 3 dps are still between them and the pally.
Can you tell me which fight this is so I can consider the raid comp?
In general terms, the DPS control their threat until the paladin catches up.
That wouldn’t change with a warrior tank. DPS would still have to control their threat.
Having seen your MO…dragging threads into 50+ posts of minor semantic quibbles…I’m afraid that’s a hard no.
If anybody else thinks this is relevant and wants to ask, they can explain why they think which boss it is is relevant. Otherwise, life’s too short.

So you’re simply asking about a hypothetical boss?
Well, since we’re using hypothetical bosses, why would we bring a warrior tank to a boss fight that doesn’t do physical damage?
Regardless of the boss damage type or the tank, DPS still has to control its damage anyway. How is that irrelevant?
They already killed the shout/roar spam. It hasn’t worked for a month.
You’ll get one in classic TBC. Hold onto hope homie
Honestly it’s not for raids at all that I would want one it’s for all the dungeons with dps who just don’t give a damn and hit any button they can.
Paladins are supposed to be a pseudo-mirror of Shaman. Shaman have no taunt, and Paladins get no taunt.
This is Classic. They aren’t going to make changes to it. Please go back to Retail, or just quit.
It’s not the lack of taunt that is what’s hurting prot pallies.
If you think it is then I’m sorry you know nothing about how pre-wrath pallies worked.
Yeah, this pretty much. Taunts aren’t even the most important thing for raid tanking - a number of bosses are immune to it.
Onyxia.
How does the pally do that when they’re oom? ask the raid to completely stop dps?
A warrior doesn’t go oom.
Nah, I want to Thunderclap in Defensive Stance. I’ll take that instead. You can keep the 30 minute Shout.
Please give feral druids Mangle.
Next!
Even if you had taunt your itemization would still be awful and you still wouldn’t be a tank.
Go look at your tier 3.
Classic is not “the best game”. Classic is “Vanilla, the good and the bad”. That’s what Ion said in a May interview.
I quit leveling a Paladin solo, back in Vanilla, because Paladins had no ranged taunt. That’s why Blizzard changed it in WoW.
Vanilla is before Blizzard improved WoW.
