Hey guys,
I have a Prot. Warrior Ilvl 199. I’ve been having a lot of fun, BUT I’m starting to notice big issues with the class. My friend plays a Paladin tank, and it seems we are almost playing to different game.
Right now I’m up to Mythic 6 on my Warrior, and I can usually clear it. But sometimes if my healer/dps is lacking I notice it takes a lot out of me to clear the mythic on time. When I play with my friend that has a Paladin he’s literally solo running dungeon bosses by him self when they are around 30% hp. Also the healer barely has todo any work I’m guessing because my friend is a Paladin. It’s crazy.
Is there a chance they are going to buff the Prot. Warrior or is this just how Blizzard treats the Warrior Tank? Should I just make the switch to Pally, because my friend is now doing Mythic 10’s at the same Ilvl, and I’m starting to get depressed lol
Both tanks have their own strengths and weaknesses to deal with. Sometimes the grass isn’t always greener, per se.
Stick to what you enjoy the most but never be afraid to expand your horizons and give it a try if you wish. There are plenty of Warriors you can speak to about the Warrior class if you feel so inclined. Paladins will give you a wide variety of cooldowns to use which can be fun or tedious to some.
Prot Paladin is simply going to be able to sustain itself without depending on a healer in ways that Prot Warrior cannot, so you’re going to have to work harder than they do if your healer is not performing up to par.
The Paladin class in general is designed with really simple to use options that are very effective.
I dunno I stopped enjoying my Paladin as it feels like a glass cannon. It’s awesome when you outgear the content as I can throw heals and stuff but on >=8 at 202 item level I am pushing to keep alive.
Bear tank on the other hand is awesome , I did a 10 on 190 item level without the same level of stress.

You’re posting on a 50 DH, that’s the best tank in the game atm, FWIW
Lower level keys (7 and below) Paladin is a God. Level 13+ keys and you turn to mush compared to Guardian or Warrior. The only dungeon you will be good for is Mythic+ Ping Pong health bar.

lol from a different server. I don’t play my DH right now.
Unfortunately the name of the game from prot pal/warrior is run away when you don’t have CDs.
Facetanking and youre going to ping pong health
I’m honestly confused how this is not being addressed either.
Vengeance DH seems to be the best rank rn. Just what I see.
Prot pally looks good until you hit 11+ on keys. They suffer alot SoTR is actual trash.
Want to tank and not kite endlessly waiting for CD’s? Play DH or Guardian. Otherwise you will hit a wall for higher keys just like you did with warrior.
Every tank has to kite endlessly at 10+ keys, this is why DH is so strong. Because they have good kiting and good damage while kiting. Tank damage in keys needs to be adjusted somehow imo.
