I want to start tanking on one of my alts, but I’m not sure which. I’m considering prot warrior, blood dk, veng dh or guardian druid. I’m pretty new to tanking, so wondering if any of these specs are more noob friendly than others. Any input is greatly appreciated!

The only tank spec I recommend to new people is Prot Paladin. It’s straightforward as hell but has strong abilities and CDs.
Blood DK is gimmicky, Prot Warrior is button heavy and relies more on a decent healer than some other specs (assuming it’s vaguely similar to how it was a couple expansions ago), Guardian is gross who wants to be an animal? Veng DH is probably fine I guess.

Brewmaster. We soak enemies with alcohol and light them on fire.

Literally last place spec for a new tank tbh. So easy to just be a burden on the healer when you’re new as a Brewmaster.
Brewmasters are not a burden, YOU’RE A BURDEN

druid has some nice cooldowns to stay alive, and quick aggro for aoe via swipe/thrash.

How is this a question? Have you seen the internet?
The internet wants to be wolves, dragons, and anthro dogs, not literal bears.
Vengeance is great right now and imo pretty new player friendly.
I don’t know, the draw to druid for me was getting to be a cat or bear. Bears are sick, and so are guardian druids, especially with… I think the talent is wildfire? The one where spending rage eventually releases heals. Very nice.

Guardian druid is great. I’m not a real tank. I mostly only dabble when it’s really needed. But guardian feels safe, strong and sturdy straight off the bat. Your defenses are simple and obvious, you have easy and clear pulling through moonfire, you do good damage in your own right for any solo activities. Not to mention all the utility you bring to a group with rezzes, stampeding roar, a buff and some heals. Plus bear forms just look awesome!

Prot pally. Fun to play and easier rotation while having high dps and a lot of CDs to use to help both you and the group
Not from around here, are ya?
