So I made a thread about me wanting to get into tanking recently, and now I’m trying to decide what class/race.
I mostly care about fun, but I also enjoy “flashy” classes, like my favorite class fire mage has big fireballs and can literally set themselves on fire.
Draenei warrior.
They have great mobility and are arguably the most pretty race in the game.
n they can wag their tail…
Oh yes. Hide cloak is a must.
I have Blood Elf and Gnome blood Death Knights and absolutely love them both.
I wanted a lightforged pally but I don’t wanna do the whole questline
That lower picture is a totem, right?
She’s the pink pigtails of death.
If you are brand new to tanking, go druid. Easy to learn and less of a skill ceiling like paladins, monks, and dks.
Not if I stand on a table. Can’t get me there. 
That’s cheating.
if only I liked the druid Horde races
If you want a flashy tank, then that would probably be Demon Hunter.
Join the alliance lol
Prot Paladin is fun. Grab the legendary that has a 33% chance to reset Avenger’s Shield and makes it hit +2 targets (is that a thing or am I making it up?), grab the talent that gives you absorbs based on Avenger’s Shield Damage, roll through dungeons spamming AoE damage for absorbs and also it interrupts. It’s great.
Paladin cooldown’s are pretty flashy as well. At least AW is. And the Venthyr ability if you go that route (but I prefer Kyrian, because more Avenger’s Shield).
Anyway, Paladins are cool. And you can go Lightforged Draenei with it. Extra thematic.
(Also Prot Pally has that talent that makes WoG heal for more based on missing health, so you can just absolutely CHUNK HP bars if you don’t need to spend all your HP on your own tanky stuff – lets you finish some fights you really shouldn’t be able to finish with a healer down).
Dh is def flashiest.
Jump around, ignite fire around you, rip souls from people, suck those souls back in, turn into a demon, blow up circles on the ground in different colors, wings on your back, and of course horns on your head.
For a tank, you do everything in style. And all that also is super fun to actually press.
My prot paladin has saved me from many wipes in Mythic+ pugs for BFA due to their awesome utility. Unfortunately, they are ranked the lowest tier in Mythic+ now for Shadowlands. Demon Hunter is more flashy and they are ranked the highest tier in Mythic+ currently.
Balance of Power guardian is the best-looking tank in the game.
The cd reset is a legendary, but most M+ prot paladins use the one that buffs shield of the righteous dmg. The additional bounces comes from the talent, not legendary.
Another misinformation. The talent makes the heal based on missing health for other players. It heals yourself based on missing health without the talent.
Prot paladins are 4th in representation in keys at +20 and above. However, they are 3rd place in representation in keys at +15 and above.
Yea, it’s different when its coordinated groups, I was referring to pugs.
