I am a MOP baby. Started playing with MOP release.
Really excited.
I played Orc warrior - mostly arms during MOP.
Over the years. I have gained quite a lot of expierence in tanking.
During MOP. I never tanked or did a lot of PvE.
What is a safe tank bet to level during cata and enter into MOP.
I was thinking paladin ?
You can wait for the pre-patch and level a Brewmaster Monk, otherwise I’d honestly suggest a Blood Death Knight because from what I’ve heard they’re the tank that’s least reliant on vengence stacks for damage.
Not sure if Blood DK’s can solo dungeons but I know for a fact that Brewmaster Monks can and I think Blood DK’s and Brewmasters are considered the best tanks in MoP. Not sure how true that is but I think I recall hearing that.
All tanks are viable in Pandaria, certainly moreso than past expansions, but Brewmaster and Blood will be the kings
Warrior: The least room for error. It’s not in nearly such a bad spot that you have to sweat just to be decent (Cataclysm…) but with a lack of self healing or active mitigation it does require a bit more effort than the others to be able to stand side by side with them
Druid: Plays kind of like Warrior but has much better personal tools that make it more forgiving and more valuable to the raid
Paladin: Brain off easy mode
Death Knight: Brain off easy mode but you also ran the healer out of a job
Monk: Most room for skill expression. The difference between a good Brewmaster and a mediocre Brewmaster is palpable. If you can play it well, you’ll be a god among men, but if you play it poorly you should probably look at the other classes
Overall no tank is super galaxy brain complex, so don’t be afraid to try any or all of them and see what sticks with you personally. Even one of the “more difficult” ones might just click with you in a way the easy ones don’t
BDK or Pally but War Tanks arent bad either cuz of banners.
Mop dungeon design was for the most part pretty easy. Well except for the bug one, but besides that I remember seeing all sorts of tanks in mop.
I would like to do a lot of PUG content in MOP.
I feel like blood would be a safest bet if I can combine that with my retail tanking expierence and self heals. To tank and keep pressure of heals ?
I also like the MOP raids. I did a lot of MOO remix.
Would be nice to jump back into the real raid scenario.
I don’t like jumping tanks.
Inclined towards pala or dk.
What do you think.
