Druid Tank or Death Knight Tank?
I do little of everything or used to, pve,pvp, World Quest, Raids, Dungeons, M+
I played
WoD ( Warrior Tank ).
Legion played ( Druid Tank ).
BfA played ( Death Knight Tank ) ( Monk Tank ).
SL played ( Paladin Tank )
DF played well I did few M+ and raids with Death Knight only.
Been afk for a while played like i think first 2 months of DF and stopped… so I know they changed alot talents and stuff with tanks… now am going to play what I like sure, but I like the most Druid and Death Knight am stuck between both tanks…
What I like about Tank as DK or Druid, I can heal myself and have the healer focus on dps if we getting aoe from whatever spells, raid boss or dungeon… now As DK I feel I Survived more and holded longer than a druid, but not saying anything about druid as well because as druid I can kite and run faster… way faster than DK.
Also one more thin’ pisses me off about playing druid, MY Mage Tower Appearance well most classes in EU Server, I played on US 100% now so.
and for DPS I play Hunter only.
Which tank you guys think I should main again?
For me I pick druid tank, easier to learn, easier to play well, doesn’t make your healer want to uninstall, and right now very good in M+!

Druid is top tier in m+ currently, but I think it’ll change next season. They can take some seriously big pulls on some seriously deadly keys at the moment though.
Blood has been a very good raid tank for a while now and occasionally pops up in m+ depending on balance. They have a very versatile kit with a bit of everything in it and can deal with spell damage very well but their dps can be low.
Overall, tanks are usually pretty close with generally one of them accidentally being made too strong and that lasts about one tier until they get kneecapped again.
Edit: shouldn’t matter meta wise unless you’re aiming for mythic raiding or keys over 20 though.
Blood DK is incredibly easy to learn and only gets stronger as expansions go on. So even when Bears are strong currently because of their interaction with Aug’s Blistering Scales armor buff, a blood DK will end up becoming stronger especially once you get into S3 gear.
as someone who heals 95% of the time, I prefer healing druid tanks to DK tanks, by a lot.
which ever you enjoy and have more fun is the best. Meta chasing doesnt matter unless you plan to put in the time and effort to do high end pve content

Both are great, but a big downside to blood, for me, is the lack of mobility, of which Druid has a lot.
Bears are better overall. Tanky, more mobile, easier to play, etc.

Well DKs have the hulking armor aesthetic and amazing self heals.
But bears are bears. Be a bear.
Either is fine for what you’re looking to do. DK has more race options and you can see your transmog, so if that stuff matters, go DK. Bear is strong right now, but chasing fotm isn’t a good time for most people.
I like DK but, I guess am going druid. I like druid they got utility spells etc. i just want druid to get back their magic spell again… used to be the best. they should nerfed it instead removing it completely.
