Hi Guys
Been doing some reading on a few sites now and I’m seeing warrior tank is listed as C grade, and also at the very bottom of the list of tanks. Can anyone verify is this is true, or possibly some over exaggerated posts?. I’m really hoping this isn’t true as warrior is so much fun and I would like to get invites to PUG groups.
Warrior is by and large the least strong tank, indeed. Do keep in mind that tanks are still pretty close together, so while Prot Warrior is at the bottom, it’s still a very much viable tank.
As pugs are usually short on tanks anyway, I don’t think you’ll have much problems getting into keys. (But do start to build a network of friends, or join a community, running with people you trust is always going to be a far better experience.)
Hi Ancelyn
Thanks for that feedback, whilst the warrior is at the bottom, the gap between top/bottom may not be that large. That’s encouraging as I do like the warrior abilities and did start to think I may have to play another tank to play 9.2 content as what I had read.
I’ve allways played a prot warr.
It might not be the best but it’s viable to clear the current content as the other tanks are able to.
If you wanna go with a protection warrior, go for it!
The gap between top and bottom tank is not that big.
The worst thing is players don’t analize tier lists so much, if they see let’s say paladin S tier and warrior C tier then they see it as “paladin takes no damage and oneshots everything while warrior is more squishy than mage without barriers and their TBC version handles aoe aggro much better”.
If you are not pushing 25+ or hardcore Mythic raiding for top 100, Tank tier list is kind worthless
I haven’t read other responses, although I think warrior will be fine. Only huge youtubers and influencers who play at elite level will say other things. Warri is good and will be. Unfortunately we still have these people who say it is “C grade” and others will get influenced by it and agree. I can recommend trying it yourself and you will see that warri is awesome in every way. #10 years warr main 
good luck friend
I agree, warrior tanking is so much more fun than other tanks. I made a new warrior just for tanking now, just Shame immun love with my fury warrior sonthe prot warrior dont get much love, but try it, you wont regret it
Don’t worry.
Most tanks will reroll bear and Will have no problem doing top dps while selfhealing themself.
2 days ago i even saw a m+ 20 group with tank bear and no healer challenge.
The best tank actually :pepeclown:
I guess it’s because of the damage numbers on bears and DKs. I tried a guardian, whether good or not, for me unimportant, I think it is boring af to play.
I quite like the classic tanks, but now we got to care about DPS numbers over what tanks do, same for healers. As Blizzard KNOWS this, and clearly make some tanks do more DPS than others, it’s a choice.
So personally my favorite tanks are warrior and paladin, next would be a monk. Not playing e.g. DHs, and Guardians, DKs are still fun to play, but as my main’s a healer, I hate healing DKs, always they’re at 10%, I want to use Holy Word on them, and poof, they’re 100% health, when I think, don’t bother using it, they die, and I do track their abilities.
Anyways, I was levelling this tank spec, I really like its playstyle. When I played Guardian, I almost fell asleep.
i will soon be ilvl 239, you guys think i can tank normal raid?
You wish for🤣
Best in our hearts, bottom of the charts.
Raid is pointless, do not get me wrong, better to do m+, get your 4 set and easy.
