Best tank for pugs

[Daeryn-kazzak]

Leveled all of them and did some dungeons:
Blood dk: great if you don’t want to depend too much on the healer, feels better than it has ever been, great mob control
Warrior: seems like the most solid out of all
Dh: seems easy to play and better than before defensively speaking, spikes have been improved, got high mobility, and has a 10 seconds silence
Druid: same big blob of health with the easiest and most boring rotation, but got some dmg buffs
Paladin: good in pugs because of interrupts, some self heals, can be specced into a lot of cds if that’s your thing
Bewmaster: ony one i found hard to survive with, too many buttons, and very squishy compared to the others

I would say any works except brewmaster
Hope this helps

i have sooo much fun with Warrior right now, but that might change when the patch comes. But as things are right now, all tanks work. So play w/e you like some people might take a prot warrior/dh but beeing declined in pugs is a part of the game now i guess! LoL

This is a huge help! thank you for sharing it!

I’m pugging as a hunter, so I’m used to it

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?

“Free boost” - with the current state of tanks i think they are the ones getting boosted, kek.

I like my prot paladin a lot.

Last week I specc’d to offheal and it made grievious a joke. We did a +10 with a 349 healer with no issues because of this.

The new talent tree gives brilliant choices if I’m honest. Going into Algathar academy where everyone was crying about the tree boss? Spec that when you bubble it taunts all mobs for the duration. Take no damage and laugh.

Their utility is also unmatched. Massive amount of interrupts, combat res, lay on hands, external defensive for others, phyical immunity for others, freedom for others, 3% passive DR - the list goes on.

I think warrior prote right now, further whatever is “S” tier. After MDI, people get meta sick and will be harder for weakest classes to get into pug group, especially for higher keys.

i played dk, pala and dh a lot.
if you need tank that dont die: dk/pala/dh
if you want to play without healer in the group and rez people anytime: pala

when i play with holy i would always favorite pala tank. he makes a lot things easier and you can faceroll stuff like jade.

With paladin this might overwhelm me a little bit if goes south I can panic and face roll the keyboard while not finding the right spell
