IDK if either are META or undesired in RBG groups but if you HAD to choose one to be in your group, which one would you invite? a Prot Paladin or Prot Warrior? And why?
RBGs? No one will accept less than a Druid tank.
Of the two, Warrior

With all those nerfs I was hoping they would be more in line but of the two warrior bing better im okay to at least try it.
What makes Prot War better than Paladin?
I know Prot Paladin WoG is getting nerfed next week, and War’s damage is getting nerfed, not to mention the across the board tank nerfs.
I pretty much only see Guardian Druids though so I don’t really know why Prot Pal / War are better or worse than one another or if they’re even as oppressive as Guardian druids are (were?)
Prot pally is really fun, but it’s getting nerfed next week sadly.
I had the pleasure of doing some hero mmr RBG’s last expansion doing some guardian cheese 1 shot nonesense.
You really won’t be able to find groups for rbgs as either war or paladin unless you already know people who respect what you can do
I mean its not really about groups because its somthing my raid group wants to do on the side. so were all probably just gonna group for it. I just wanted to know which I should play since I play both tanks in PVE atm and have been fun with both in PVP.
Both are historically pretty terrible in pvp
And that’s coming from someone who’s done hundreds of bgs on a prot pally in DF, and thousands in slands
Prewog nerf in SL I felt was at least doable in SL
It’s the strongest it’s ever been currently, but getting nerfed on tues
I have a 33 million healing game
Wait but like only on yourself or on other people? I was told that healing with Hand of the protector was nerfed heavily in SL and it carried over to dragonflight.
other peeps, that’s why they’re nerfing it
It can heal that much?!?! Ive had arena games in full pvp gear where I have a free wog proc and then use 3 more wogs from bastion of light and it wouldnt heal someone to full

Prot is a healer in pvp, not really a tank
If you ever want help setting it up let me know 
There’s a few macros that make it play extremely smooth
Someone posted a while ago with a real ly really in-depth post about why paladins can’t make rbg rosters. I’m effect it’s was something about their mitigation is not really something that works in battlegrounds.
In my experience I find prot paladins that give rbgs a go are really good nose defenders but fold faster than any other tank in the game when carrying flags.
I would like to know what tank is gonna be meta. Sounds like prot wars. I guess I’ll give my dh a go
If I had to choose - I’d choose to wait for a druid or VDH.
But I guess if you want to punish yourself, warrior.
Decent tankiness, limited CC immunity/root break. Flag protection with ravager. Gap closers. Meh/Okish (after nerfs) self healing. Strong 1v1 potential.
Palidans can shot call and support I guess. I’m sure someone will or has chimed in regarding them already
Im actually super down for this. also can it hold its own as a healer in arenas?
That just depends on what it looks like after tomorrow
I’ve been +/- 50 rating off elite in both brackets, as well as played hero mmr RBG’s

Druids offer less and less. They also have no real team benefit. They don’t buff or debuff. They have no offense.
Yea it’s a shame because I love Prot and hate Healing. Prot Pals design now is trash and hope they get rid of this idiotic design. Remove all their off healing and have Prot Pal focus on doing damage and being a Tank. Let them offer mitigation for their team and utility for their team while putting out kill pressure.
It was probably me. Prot Pal lost too much from BFA. I was the # 3 Prot Pal in NA queing at 2600 MMR. Prot just isn’t viable now losing steed immunity was needed for the class to function. Since it’s main mitigation in standing in Cons and they have bad stun protection. Furthermore the other main mitigation is blocking and they keep blockvalue nerfed each patch so Prot Pal never scales in the expansion.
In BFA Prot Pal had 65% dmg reduction from Block… Now it’s 32% and never will be higher.

Currently Prot War they got hit the least from the nerfs probably puts them at S tier in PvP for Tanks. Definitely for Arena but they also offer a lot for RBGs too.
I have a Glad stance AMA on the warrior forums so Prot has by far the best damage and kill pressure of any tank. In Team fights they have awesome control with 3 stuns, great Aoe and can reduce damage of everyone by 25%.
They do have FC potential far better than Prot Pal since at least they have a cheat Death with Battle Scarred veteran. So it’s something that you have to get outta the way before you kill them.
Honestly though in FC BGs I just perma root the EFC and kill them. Prot War has roots on 5 sec CD with no DR. Not to mention all it’s other tools. Perfect for stopping EFC’s from getting past mid.
I love current prot paladin lol. Every dps player loves having a prot pally on there team
I’ve always played healers, I find prot paladin to be the most engaging by far.
If i’m playing good i’m useless, if I’m playing perfect I get rage whispers
