I only have three, so I feel your pain!
That is every tank.
Not true, blood dks have anti magic shell and anti magic zone to deal with magic damage.
Paladins and Druids can cleanse certain things like poison/disease.
Every tank, by design, since BFA pre patch, is weak to magic damage, bleed damage, and cannot self sustain (require external healing).
There is no exception to this. The misconception that some tanks are not weak to magic, or that some don’t need a healer as much as other tanks, is borne of ignorance.
Oh I get it now, ur a troll
…what?
Why do I even bother with you people.

While I agree with most of your statement, other tank classes do have much more self healing than Prot tanks, which I miss. (Enraged Regen for Prot was good times)
You should share your knowledge more often than your dead pan rejections to peoples’ misconceptions. While a lot of us have seen your very informitive posts on these topics, a lot have not. It is funny most the time, but maybe you dont actually care whether you bother or not lol.

Correct, and the intended trade off is that said tanks take more damage as a result.
The “idea” is that, if you put the six tanks on a scale, one extreme (bdk) takes the most damage, and has the most healing, while on the opposite end, the other extreme (prot warrior) takes the least damage, but heals the least.
The end result is, if balancing is roughly correct, an overall similarity in ehrps.

I should write a long-winded, detailed post, in response to someone who’s contribution amounted to an oft-cited misconception and calling me a troll, rather unprompted.
No.
The post above about tank damage/healing balance was hardly long winded, yet much more informative imo. But to each their own.

Nothing like people calling Derez a troll, after they write a ridiculous post, and get angry when he responds with the truth… I… I don’t get it. I don’t wanna act like I worship him, because I don’t, but a vast majority of the time, he’s 100% correct, lol.

What about my post was ridiculous? I’m genuinely curious
I called you a troll because you are posting on a level 11 troll warrior and ur response does not make sense.
Blood dks are better than warriors against magic damage. This a fact
No, it’s not. That’s kind of the problem. Additionally, your initial statement was that protection being vulnerable to magic/bleeds was notable, which is incorrect. Every tank, by design, for the past three years, has had those two qualities built in.
Bdk is not “the best” tank for magic damage. Technically, prot warrior, prot paladin, and bdk all are, as it depends entirely on the damage profile and the scenario in question.
My response is simply informing you that you are incorrect, as you’re basing your words off of common knowledge (which is incorrect) and assumption, instead of taking into account how tanks actually function. Blizzard has been very open about this since bfa’s beta way back.
I’m basing my knowledge from the best tanks in the game on YouTube which I have watched.
I guess a level 11 troll warrior like you know more than the best tank players in the game.

Would you like to actually learn, or are you just going to continue repeating yourself and covering your ears.
Youtubers make those tierlists because they get views and publicity. That’s literally it. The top tanks in the world have said many times, that the differences between the tanks only show when you’re playing them all at the highest level and deepest understanding, which for 99.9% of the playerbase, is something they haven’t reached.
The bar for a tank spec being good is extremely low. Can they survive and hold threat? They’re a good tank spec. Oh wait, that’s literally all of the tank specs!

That’s exactly what the best players say as well…
All I said is that different tanks are better at different things.
Like warriors have strong physical mitigation and blood dks have weaker physical mitigation but stronger magic mitigation. Pallies and bears can cleanse certain debuffs.
Idk what we’re trying to argue.
Yet ur trolling again.
Do you also disagree that Prot warriors are super tanky against physical damage?
Let’s see what you come up with this time
