Hi there!
I’ve Just got into dragonflight after a long hiatus. I’m trying different classes to decide which one to main. I like to do aimless world pvp/1v1, and I’m loving the high survivability of tanks. In this regard, I would like to ask which tank(s) are the best for this kind of gameplay (survivability, healing, damage, mobility and which overall is/are the best). The only tanks I don’t really like gameplay wise are prot Warrior and brewmaster monk. Thanks in advance for any answer!
Brewmaster monk or blood dk, if you just want to 1v1 aimlessly.
If you like supporting other players then prot paladin.
And if all these don’t satisfy you then jump on people as a bear tank.
Thanks for the answer. A few more questione: Hows bear in respect to bdk? Does bear have any hard counter? What about bdk counrers? The think I’m a Little worried about bdk is the lack of mobility… thank you for tour time!
You will get kited pretty hard and if someone catches you outside bearform you are kapoot.
Doesn’t hard counter anything it’s just flexible.
Idk but I have seen BDK in SS and it actually does a decent amount of dmg, was somewhere like 1.7k MMR, don’t remember. With that said I think BDK is ok for 1v1 and world content.
I have also 1v1 some Alliance in WM on with PvE gear so that’s that.
I made this blood DK specifically for those reasons. I run around in war mode pestering people, and I often receive angry rage whispers from people telling me to play a proper class. It’s alot of fun!
Bear is nice because you can have super dangerous opening burst (boomy form affinity+HoTW into convoke). This never gets old, and gives a big punch. And you can sneak someone in stealth, pop CD/trinket+convoke and before they can react - several starsurges are already flying into them. And then you go bear for slow grind 
first 2 are very good.
but prot is garbage in pvp right now. braindead mana changes killed his heals in pvp.
I just like the utility that they bring in terms of immunity and other stuff.
In bfa and shadowlands they were practically healers.
not in solo shuffle, game ends before you oom for sure xD but 2v2 is unplayable now for prots
balance has always been lousy. actually they have absolutely no idea about it.
I used to like playing prot palas many years ago. and that was a horror for mele. because he did way too much damage and no one could kill me in 1vs1. mele ran away from me.
the same was also with dk. that was first class tank many years ago. and mine also looks super cool with cool skins.
I don’t even want to know who works there. because even with ancient Excel you can calculate better balance.
Thanks for your input, that is what I’m looking for ahaha also your name is really appropriate for this context ahah
Also I got lazy with the trophy of strife world quest, but having a full set of world PvP gear is quite insane as a tank. It’s an extra 20% versa at 10 kills, making you near unstoppable even by multiple opponents. Add in a few bloody token consumables and you’ll be akin to a player-controlled raid boss
Thank you for your answer! I really like bear and druid in general. What is in your opinion better for aimlessly wpvping between bear and bdk? And more importantly, would one be able to best the other in a 1v1 between them or would the match go on forever without a winner?
Someone would have to go afk to hqve a winner between bdk and bear. Tanks just has to much self healing.
I find DK more “cool” of a character, since you are swinging big sword, and abilities visually looks nice.
Druid has big downside of being caught when not in bear - then you are basically naked (well other tank won’t kill you, but if you pvp vs 2-3 dps’ers and they stun you out of bear form - it’s gg).
I prefer bear, I just like to stalk in stealth and open with convoke
