I had a 60 warrior tank LBRS last night and it was actually exactly like having a voidwalker, no exaggeration. He could only hold aggro on one mob and only if I did nothing but corruption + life drain. 2 dots would pull, exactly like the VW. We had to CC all adds and any leftovers would be on the healer the whole time unless I put any dots at all on them, in which case they would be on me.
And it did end up working, so I think it could work with a voidwalker.
I tried tanking RFC and WC as a bear ā¦ it was so painful Iāll never do it again.
Whereas a Warfrior has Sunder, to generate huge amounts of threat, bears donāt, they have nothing except Taunt and rage generation is so glacial that using any āactiveā skill was nigh on impossible.
Iāve played druids since BC, I tanked Kara towards the end of BC, before the end-of-expac nerfs, and thoroughly enjoyed it, Iāve continues tanking ever since, but this experience in āvanillaā was a revelation, I never realised bear tanking was so God-aweful before BC.
As a shaman I have both tanked and healed while main-ing as enhancement dps, the reality is people know the lack of smoothness if done. Then again it is done for various of reasons that all boil down to get the worth out of ones time. I play in faerlina and organizing a group is hard, healers are scarce and tanks want a full party willing to wait 5 minutes before they dart off to quest or run another group.
I do think for leveling anytank idea is ok because one can mix utility of different classes to compensate(hunter/lock with pet,lots of mages,two WF shamans,Aoe group, cc group). Also finding a group with high levels for the role that is lacking helps. The only runs Iāve tanked I was over leveled in the dung (green mobs, orange boss type thing).
Raid and Pre-raid gearing should always be done with tanking classes.
People tend to forget that warriors donāt really ātake offā until they actually start getting raid geared. Up until BWL, itās a very different scene of what does and does not work well. Itās in BWL, where scaling ramps up for some and reaches a grueling halt for others, where the meta starts to make more sense.
Itās for that reason that applying naxx-level raid metagaming logic to dungeons is bass-ackwards, pants on head, turbo-idiot 9,000 levels of retarded. Like worse than youtube comments retarded.
Iāve grouped with plenty of warriors. I leveled 3 warriors to 60. If you think that they are incapable of holding aggro on a single mob with 2 dots on it, I think it is you who are:
Had a level 38 Shaman tank SM Cath last night in my group.
shoot even in retail (wod) one time the tank was so bad we ended up using a Voidwalker as the tank.
so it should be possible in Classic, just have to be sure not to pull threat off the summoned tank. 
no they can also bubble 1 shotā¦ >-> <-< >->
A critter like a rat or sheep or cow maybe if they get lucky.
Enjoy getting one shot by Paladins.
Demoralizing Roar is insane. I ran Sunken Temple with a druid tank and it was basically impossible to pull aggro off of him.
What? Everything a Druid in bear form does generates threat. And yes, they have more than just a taunt. Seriously?
Druids actually generate MORE threat than warriors. The issue is the spikey damage from lack of block and parry.
Milleage may vary, iām enjoy it very much and i bear tanked on retail from Cata onwards. Have to be awake in Classic to keep aggro.
I can vouch for shamans. I ran a sfk run with a enh. shaman and he tanked that well.
Did anyone else read this in the Skeksis chamberlainās voice from the Dark Crystal?
So prot pallies are pretty good for tanking dungeons?
Whatād he use to tank? I mean Iāve heard of shamans tanking but Iāve never tried it myself.
He was an enhancement shaman and was using a shield and some weapon, I was lf a tank for sfk forever. Iām a healer and finally he msged me and said he could tank. I asked my group what they thought and they said ok. I was impressed, he held threat on everything and hardly took any damage. I did some more research and supposedly enhance shamans can tank most 5 man dungeons pretty well.
mmm I am new to shaman and did get someone to help me with it but they suggested not to tank if new to it. So I just made myself a tank to level along with my shaman 
Youāre horde, you havenāt seen paladins tanking. Get outta here.
When I respec to 11/31/9 and tank endgame dungeons for guildies, they quickly realize that (a) I hold AoE threat much better than warriors, which allows the mages and warlocks to go into full nuke mode sooner, and (b) my damage intake is smoother than that of a warrior or druid thanks to the combination of holy shield, blessing of sanctuary, redoubt, and improved shield specialization granting me an extremely high uptime on 35%-65%+ blocking.
The only issues with paladins that stops them from tanking raid content is that (a) defense capping harms our threat generation, (b) mana issues on longer fights, and (c) no taunt. None of that is an issue in dungeon content as long as the dps players donāt do stupid things.
