[QUOTE=tankkiller;19472095]Druid I've never seen a druid tank fail, ever.[/QUOTE] Druids suck for range; 1 ranged attack (faerie fire), 1 charge and no ranged silence.
Druid if you think you're likely to want to change role. Death Knight if you want a class with interesting mechanics. Paladin, I don't know.
Death Knights suck in general, I have an 80 DK and he gets boring fast, and they are HORRIBLE at tanking. Good luck doing Heroic halls of reflection with one.
Paladins have a very rigid rotation; basically you just smash whatever is off CD.
[QUOTE=tankkiller;19481592]No. DK tanks are terrible. And blizzard keeps nerfing DKs with every patch, I doubt they'll even be playable when Cataclysm comes out.[/QUOTE] Actually i've been leveling my DK as a tank, Forst spec, def/parry/dodge/stam gear and all. I only lose aggro during a laggy pull, or to another Douche Knight that uses Death Grip On the other hand pally tanking is easymode+1, never played a druid tank, or a warrior.

[QUOTE=ketchup;19541479]hey look wayword spouting off, not having any clue what hes talking about[/QUOTE] Avenger's shield to pull; holy shield, hammer of the righteous, consecration, shield of righteousness, judgement. Etc. 6969 rotation. P.S. you're a dumbass and a horrible troll.

ITT: Roll a druid.
[QUOTE=ketchup;19543697]im sorry, i cant hear you over the fact of how wrong you are[/QUOTE] How wrong I am? How so? Prove you're not a troll.

Warrior.
[QUOTE=Lertez;19546951]Warrior.[/QUOTE] A lot of people don't like warriors, especially healers. Just putting that out there.
[QUOTE=Lertez;19546951]Warrior.[/QUOTE] Warriors are shit tbh.
[QUOTE=tankkiller;19547618]Warriors are shit tbh.[/QUOTE] I beg to differ.

[QUOTE=Wayword;19547600]A lot of people don't like warriors, especially healers. Just putting that out there.[/QUOTE] What? Why the hell wouldn't a healer like a warrior?
Paladin, this way if another tank joins and might be better, you could dps or heal.
[QUOTE=Kanebro;19553849]Paladin, this way if another tank joins and might be better, you could dps or heal.[/QUOTE] Same goes for druid.
[QUOTE=Ehera;19553883]Same goes for druid.[/QUOTE] Yeah true forgot about that.
Paladin tank is easy, so easy I got bored and just turned my dual spec back to holy.
Death Knights are fun to play. I tank ICC - 10 on our guild off nights. I just respecced my tank spec to Blood, realizing that Vampiric Blood is probably the best tanking cooldown in the game. :v:
How does Druid tanks work in ICC with their only avoidance being nerfed with 20%
druid tanks sucks
[QUOTE=Anthracite;19570319]druid tanks sucks[/QUOTE] No.
What I mean is that how good are Druid for tanking in ICC with the 20% less dodge debuff? That and [I]Miss[/I] is all they got.
a druid will be never be as good as a warrior or pal that actually know how to play the spec.
[QUOTE=Anthracite;19571952]a druid will be never be as good as a warrior or pal that actually know how to play the spec.[/QUOTE] Untrue. All the tanks are more or less equal, however some bosses and patches favour some more than others in terms of viability. Play the one you'd find more fun, if you really can't decide just pick the one you think would be cool from a lore standpoint. Holy? Dark? Natural? ...Warrior?
