Hey gang. Trying to see what is best for me while leveling. From what I have read warriors can tank using pretty much any spec, but I also quest on my own and am not big on how slow that is as prot. I am thinking of doing arms spec that still tanks for groups for dungeons and want to know what talents I should get as well as rotations to use.
Thanks!
I’m not sure where you got that you can tank as any spec or who told you that but it’s incorrect. Prot is the only tank spec for warriors. Arms and fury are both DPS and DPS only.
You can probably tank dungeons in any spec until you’re in your 40’s due to the lower dungeons just being easy, but as Brawlick said if you’re going to level through dungeons, then you’re going to want to be Prot. If you don’t like questing as Prot then don’t, as a tank you’ll never wait in a dungeon queue and you can just keep dungeoning until you’re 120. If you don’t want to dungeon and you want to quest a bit, then go dps.
I think he’s referring to WoW Classic. You can level as arms and tank any dungeon on your way to mid 50s as arms. You’ll start running into survivability problems in BRD, LBRS, etc as arms with the questing gear you’ll have and its recommended to go prot at that point.
Yes, sorry, I was meaning to post as Classic WoW…but since its been a week with no response I just kept going lol
Oh, now Classic is a different story. Yes you can tank as just about any class until you reach cap and start doing endgame. Then you don’t really go that far into the prot tree. There are plenty of guides out there, but most tanks did a hybrid talent spread that usually only went into shield block in Prot and then was mostly Arms and Fury.
Awesome guys, thanks. I was looking around to get a better idea of it online. I may try messing with it this weekend.
You can tank has any spec in classic. Just spam sunder armor and tab target. I’m 2 handed fury spec and I’m still tanking dungeons as of level 38 with the 2hander.
