I main healz but got into tanking due to 5man queue times. I have a prot pally, dk and have tanked some on druid. Prot war is def the most fun. It’s very kinetic. A great spec to play while listening to hard and fast music. Constantly jumping, charging, shield slamming. Time of my life. Also, AOE spells for days. I have almost too many AOE spells, which is amazing.

I have always found our Charge, Heroic Leap, and Shield Charge to be too physics-defying and too arcadey.
While player characters can run as quickly as college athletes, these Warrior mobility spells lack the visuals to make them convincing and realistic.
I hope Blizz can make Warriors more like the Space Marine Assault Squads and the Traitor Legion Raptors in the Warhammer 40K series.
For instance, in the old RTS game Dawn of War II, the Assault Squads basically have the same mobility spells like Warriors in WoW. However, the rocket-propelled Jump-Pack visuals, the sound effects, and the movement trajectories all make the high mobility jumps appear physically realistic and convincing.
Watch out this paladin said the F word. We see your game paladin, trying to get prot nerfed! Everyone charge him and someone be ready to shattering throw his bubble hearthstone!

I played MT on S1. But this season i decided to give Colossus a try on M+ and its been super fun doing nearly as much dmg as the dps on big pulls as a tank. Demolish is extremely satisfying to unleash in large groups with high crit%

It’s super fun until you get destroyed by bleed, magic dot, and pure magic dmg bosses in Prioty, ML, floodgate, workshop, darkflame. But that’s only 5 out of 8 dungeons, so it’s absolutely fine.

Regarding certain abilities looking too unrealistic, what has worked for me is imagining that I’m playing the story someone is telling someone else at a tavern by the fireplace, exaggerating for impact. “And then he leapt 50 feet in the air and landed like thunder and lightning!”

Yeah I agree prot war is really fun right now. I’m in the process of rerolling to war. I think the tier set looks like a blast compared to the other tanks.

I guess this refers to Mythic+ which I am not playing. From everything I read it sounds like nothing but stress & a bad time. Not even sure why people are gaming that mode, honestly. 99% of post about M+ are people having the worst time of their WoW life.
Yeah, completely unplayable…

I’m having a blast so far. Spec looks, sounds and feels phenomenal.
I enjoyed prot warrior the little bit l’ve messed around with it. There’s a lot to do and it’s fun. My issue is I feel I’m just playing LOS games in these M+ with all the ranged mobs. Especially the ones with no interruptible cast. DH, DK, bear, paladins, and the drunks all have a way to group stuff up. Unless I’m missing a major mechanic?

First time tanking in a long time and I noticed this immediately. I’m more than a little envious of Paladins. Not enough to switch though.
