So, what tank is doing the best and which is doing the worst lol. I’m kinda trying to figure out if I should focus on my bear or war. I looked up a few tier list on youtube, but there all from a year ago at the beginning of this expansion. From those lists than prot pally was the way to go, is it the same? Out of war or bear which one is doing better or are they about equal?
For tank players what would you play?
For Healers what would you feel more comfortable seeing if you queued a dungeon?
Best
Paladin - tank
Paladin - healer
worst
Bear -tank
Holy priest - healer
They are all viable though. Just what you will find out there in terms of best and worst.
Sad day.
It’s to bad I don’t care for pallys
I have noticed my war feels significantly stronger than my bear, but I’m low level and I figured the bear just needs to build it’s hp pool

I may have been watching the Military History channel too much the past few weeks.
They are mostly fine. Sometimes can just be a pain holding threat when you have big damage dps with you.
so be aware of dks and warlocks got it
I personally like bears, but they just require double the effort of paladins to play on that level. But if you like it, I say go for it !
Prot paladin is the easiest with good mitigation and aoe threat on point. They generally go for a slow weapon.
Warriors are overall just ok, they don’t have the threat of dk or the mitigation and aoe of paladins. They have some nice cooldowns.
Druids are not as good as they were in tbc and well thats just it.
Dk is my favorite. And though they are not as strong as the other tanks since their aoe isn’t as strong and they don’t have as many cds, the idea of tanking with shadowmourne does appeal. They have nice threat and seem to remind me of fury prot. But unless you have tanking experience in vanilla or such I wouldn’t suggest it to a new tank.
Prot pally and blood DK with everything else just being worse than those 2 at their niche.
DK’s bring more single target threat than any other tank and have more CD’s in icebound fortitude, ams, and vamp blood all on short CD’s… Have you even played WotLK? There’s a reason every raid guide recommends prot pallies and blood DKs. As for shadowmourne you’re literally griefing your raid if you take it over a DPS as other weapons are better for mit and threat is a joke.
Bear should be on the come up though.
Bear tank becomes amazing in ICC tho so look up some vids there is hope for you
amazing at what ? getting rekt? they take so much dmg it’s not funny
IN ICC they become gods.
I’ve heard that before. It was fake news.
why are the worst?
I’m no expert, but Holy priests don’t bring anything a disc can’t bring and are just not as useful. Resto shaman and holy Paladin fill their shoes better. I like holy priest thematically but disc is just better.
I live the pug life, so gdkp or sr. So no I am not griefing my guild by taking it.
Prot Warrior is OP for leveling, so yeah it does narrow a lot when you start gearing at 80.
Then you better buy a LOT of gold and be in one of the sweatiest GDKP’s or 0 shot you’ll ever see it.
Paladins are currently dominating just about everywhere except as DPS.
The other tanks are all solid, though.
