what tanks are doing the highest dps? is there a rank?
Shows Tank DPS also.
Brewmaster and Prot Warrior top 2.
This is anecdotal - but the only tank I’ve seen doing damage that I actually NOTICED as notably high has been Prot Warrior. I’ve played plenty with every tank. It’s only ever Prot Warrior that’s actively competing with actual DPS players.
I am typically top DPS in almost everything I do. I can think of exactly 1 time someone has beaten me in Overall DPS in M+ this season. 2 if we count the time where I literally forgot to equip my Myth Track offhand and was playing at 675 ilvl (and was still 2nd).
I say this only as a preface to this:
I lost in DPS to a Prot Warrior on the 2nd boss of Streets a few weeks back.
Did he outgear me? Did I not have Ascendance up for the pull? Is it an execute-heavy fight?
Did I misunderstand a mechanic until recently and debuff myself there?
Maybe. But I’d done that plenty before this and still beat everyone consistently.
And he’s a tank. It was insane.
And while I don’t usually see them all the way on top like that, they’re still the only tank I see actively fighting for DPS slots on the meter in a dungeon setting.
In Raid, frankly I don’t notice Tanks at all. They’re low. They’re always gonna be low. Even the best DPS Tanks are low. Play what you want.
I think the highest rank was like a star and a cloud or a cloud and a blue thing
