Hello beautiful peeps,
I hope everyone had a lovely Christmas 
lots of food and sweets!
As the title says: I’m interested in trying to be a tank. In pugs. Yay. So my question is: which class you guys think would be the best for pugs? My aim is to do lower keys, nothing extremely fancy and such.
All opinions are appreciated!
Cheers 
Then play which ever you find the most fun.
There is little point playing a meta class that you don’t find fun, it will just burn you out.
Try them, play the one you enjoy the most.
I like Prot Pala - love Avengers shield, and being able to heal people.
Yesterday I was in the group for M+ and in chat the leader asked for a “healer” for Mindy (me)… I quickly replied that the healer is not for me XD but for the group. I don’t need healing, I can solo the dungeon and bosses by my own. I bring people because my damage is crap and it becomes boring after a while.
My answer: BDK.
Prot pala. PvP, raid, M+, Bg, PvE, and more… Busted.
That’s true, though I’m not sure how picky people are with tanks 
doing pugs with hunter isn’t as easy though 
Making it easier for the healer is definitely a plus in my eyes 
For pugs, and not super high i would pick BDK any day.
Regardless of whatever the meta. Deathstrike ftw!
I’ll check out BDK first… I thought they nerfed DS though? Or is it only for PVP?
I basically don’t need healing even on big pulls as a prot war maybe up to +10 with 395 ilvl. Pretty solid choice imo
Tank who knows his things.
Yeah, I’m aware of that i need to be on top of things all the time, but i can watch guides where to go, what to pull, how to move around 
i will say druid tank is best alternative …
if u ask why i have the best rison they adding a new druid bear tank form aperiance in next patch this something new and frech …
who wants to be tank as paladin or warrior the been existing for like 18 years brings noting new …
I’d say paladin is a lot of fun right now with a lot of old talents and powers returning and more importantly, a lot of powers that paladin tanks have wanted to see work together but couldn’t because of how the talent system worked can now be picked simultaniously.
Has good tooling as well, divine toll is great for group pulls with casters, I also have an avengers shield mouseover macro (that goes to my target IF there’s no mouseover) so I can sneak in an extra pull in combat or can interupt a caster without having to change my target to do so.
A lot of their buffs and utility are to be used for targetting partymembers tho, the rotation is easy to get down but mastery of the toolkit is kind of where the fun in prot pala lies.
My advice is that you put most of those party utility spells on mouseover functionality to make them easier to cast on your partymembers again without having to break targets.
There are no other classes ATM besides prot warriors. Everything else is sadly trash tier because Blizzard CBA to do even Basic class balances
Literally whatever a 15 peaker on youtube says is S tier
Main reason many tanks are stupid, so I’d leave that out
I’d suggest prot palla or atleast a tank that can heal alot since most healers are either just there for free b00st or cares more about their dps than actual healing in pug groups
Yes im lovely in pug groups, how could you tell?
paladin so u can bubble hearth if they get on ur nerves
Easy
Blood Death Knight
Ah the good old bubbadin times
