A class that even the current developers hate. They’ve been on that trend in for awhile. Be happy they’re caster fanatics.

ACTUALLY.
Im ilvl 225, pretty much BiS(missing a couple ilvls)
Many things can kill me instantly if i dont have a cheat death available.
3/4th of a Convoke for example, will kill me through Rune rap, IBF, AMS and AMZ.
Ret pals if they time their SoV detonatin with a TV will chunk me from anywhere between 65-95% of my health.
The Hunt has literally 1shotted me before(granted he had a Zerker buff, but still)
etc etc etc.
Tanks are pretty soft, which is fine. However, if we are going to be tuned to be as soft as DPS specs, we should probably be tuned to do more damage than we currently are.
All give and no take going on. Feels bad to be a neccesary role in a expansion that is really “main” toon centric, but be told you arent allowed to participate in 50% of the game.
This is the dominant reason why no one wants to tank.

You sir have earned my like for today. Thank You for the laugh.
Not possible there is GCD so there is not you were killed in a sec. Maybe a few seconds.
I feel your pain brother.
i like em.
kill their partner and then chill 2v1ing the tank taking your sweet time
i dont think tanks should be in arenas, but i dont mind when one shows up 
Ikr! I am a fury main and I’ve quit retail until it’s improved on. Plus 9.1 looks boring to me too:)

As someone who has main prot war since bc and very much participated in pvp as prot my advice is save the heartache and go arms.
Enjoy as your looming sword of damacleus cleaves pallys in Twain
Actually there are infact ways to kill people instantly. Look at Rextroy’s recent video about revendreth covenant one shot…its crazy broken.
Probably, i just didn’t find one player that could one-shot me yet.
Last week, with the “Win 10 arena skirmishes” quest, i encountered an insane team: a druid and a rogue: they jumped out of stealth, cc’ed me, and it took them both 2-3 seconds and multiple abilities to send my corpse to the trash. I would have survive one of them, not both.
Yeah just you have to die as well for it to work and have enough high hp. Mostly troll than action.
You should be PvPing as Arms if you don’t want to be one-shotted.
The fact that it worked in bgs/arena…is more then troll. It needs a nerf.
It really doesn’t. It’s literally based on high your hp so technically only viable for tanks who have to die making it a situational choice hoping your teammate can finish the job killing the other player. The damage spreads anyway so likely if the two or three enemies are together the trick won’t work as well.
True but against 2v2 arena its pretty OP if one class is ranged, other is melee.
Some vaccines are only one, you don’t have to go in for a second shot.
Nope wouldn’t be OP at all regardless of any odds because the player still has to die to make it work. What would make it OP is if that the player is still alive, but with low hp.
It sounds like you got 1shot by a pally because you ate their burst. Nobody, even tanks, should sit there and eat a bunch of wings’d up templar’s verdicts. You will get absolutely destroyed, especially because ret is actually overpowered in PVP right now. Also, as a prot warrior you have basically no magic mitigation outside of shield wall, and ret paladins are basically 90% holy damage and 10% physical damage so all of their attacks completely ignore your armor.
Ret paladins have no mobility, but when they do reach you they do a ton of damage, tank or not. As a tank your job is to draw attention while taking as little damage as possible, that includes running away if you have to. Kiting is a viable strategy, nobody (especially prot warriors) can just sit there and tank a DPS burst, especially a ret pally burst.
In this expansion your point is correct. In BFA expansion your point is correct. Legion and previous expansions tanks were able to eat even ret paladins burst damage when using the defensive cool downs. Defensive cool downs are literally garbage that needs versatility aid more. A tank that has natural damage mitigation needing an aid from a stat more than a dps is ludicrous.
