Most Fun Tank Spec for Delves?

I enjoy running Delves on tank specs. I don’t mind DPS specs, but to me I just enjoy tanks more. I’m sure that has something to do with there being less pressure, but it’s also the one area I get to play Prot Warrior and it’s not a huge time suck.

What’s your favorite rank spec for Delves? Also, is there an optimal way to get undercoin? I want to buy those blue Hallowfall sets.

I’m not playing Blood DK right now, but it’s probably Blood DK.

They’ve always been gods at soloing content just because of how their self-healing works.

Probably Blood Dk. It feels like you just can’t die. It’s the spec I used to kill Zekvir in season 1 without using a healer.

I love my Druid. Faster movement, self healing, and aquatic form for those pesky underwater delves.

Since every Tank is immortal, it’s less “having a favorite” and more “each one had some perks”.

My Laser Bear does funk-all for damage but puliing 6 packs at once while spamming Ironfur and Moonfire is dumb fun.

My DH is a bit more technical, but I like trying to get 3-4 packs into a ball via kiting and sigils, then pop Meta and go to town.

Similar with my DK. Lay down DnD, grip a lot, mash buttons until I win.

vdh. the mobility alone trivializes a lot of the challenge of delves.

Blood DK because delves are sometimes too small of an area to make use of a Warrior’s charges and leaps. Better self healing too.

Shadowmeld is useful in many situations.

Prot warrior with DPS Brann will clear delves with 0 risk faster than just about everything else.

Bear druid is pretty sweet.

I agree. Delves are my “Safe space” (XD) for playing my Guardian Druid. I love tanking in theory, but I cannot deal with the pressure from real people or having unknown expectations laid upon me by the group.

So tanking in general makes me extremely nervous. Even the 5 BC Timewalking dungeons took me two days on that character because I dreaded it so much. It’s fun once I get started, and once the flow is set, but my brain is always racing like:
“Do they want me to go faster?”
“Oh, I dropped to 40% health there. Am I going too fast?”
“Or maybe I didn’t use CD’s propperly … the healer has mana, right? Do people even stop for that anymore? X_X”

TL;DR: I am not the leader or flow-setter type. XD So tanking sets every fiber in my being on edge the entire time. lol But the gameplay itself is great, so delves are awesome for that. :slight_smile:

Just another reason delves are the GOAT feature of WoW. :stuck_out_tongue:

anyone have luck with brewmaster? haven’t tried it yet, but monks have great mobility iirc

It definitely makes it easier but its slower as hell , the only reason you would ahve to tank is for fast invites and fast queues and delves you don’t have to bother about that .

Get in kill stuff get out - who does that the fastest ? a Dps

Unless of course you are doing it for that achievement

guardian druid of the claw cat weaving is most fun, but quite weak
prot warrior is fun like playing dps
brewmaster master of harmony is kiting, purify, burst damage kind of fun

DK is similar fun to prot warrior
DH is similar fun to brewmaster

prot paladin is the least fun imo, because theres no party member to play supportive tank where its most fun at

Ret Pally.

This is absurdly wrong. My tanks clear delves in about half the time as my dps because tanks can pull everything all at once and aoe it down. I clear Sluice in 4-5 minutes on my tanks.

To the OP, my personal favorite is Warrior. All the tanks are pretty much immortal besides brew, and Warrior from my experience has the highest burst damage with demolish once you round up 40 mobs and LoS them all to you.

Vengeance. Fast, strong, good AoE

I enjoy bear because you can spam moonfire to target everything at range and gather it all up. Most of the other tank classes have to run to packs or have a cooldown on their range pull.

I think warrior csn talent to spam heroic throw

I actually find being able to pull more packs and ignore a lot of mechanics makes tanks just as fast or faster.

For example my warrior as fury had to run out of swirls and stuff my Prot warrior just stands in it

It’s Guardian hands down for me, it just destroys them. I haven’t been so bold as to pull an entire delve, but a platform or huge room is no issue.
