I've been levelling a warrior tank and I saw on the forums that because of the increased boss dmg warriors are not as good as other classes. I was thinking of switching to a DK but I played on molten a while ago and frost DK tanks were pretty bad. So which class is preferred as a tank and which is more likely to get me into a 25 man raiding guild?
I have a Protection Warrior, don't really have problems tanking. I do agree that in some cases/bosses/fights, a Paladin has an advantage. I've seen a few really good DK tanks, but because not only were they geared well, but it also has a lot to do with knowing how to play a DK tank. In Icecrown, I have yet to see a Druid tank (not saying there aren't any, just haven't ran into one). I don't regret being a Warrior tank :D
Honestly, in my opinion, warriors are just the weakest tanks at the moment. Not saying that raiding is not doable with warriors, but other classes just make it seem much more easy. They are fun to play, that's for sure, meaning: you wont get bored as fast as you would with other classes, and you look much "cooler" if you're playing warrior tank properly. :)
TLDR: Warrior tanks are fun to play but weaker than others, though, still viable.
I have war tank and DK tank.
DK (blood spec) has many survivality cd's and makes things easier than a protwar, but prot is not that bad. It's just about what you like, nothing else. BTW protwar is kinda nice in BG XD
I have yet to see a Druid tank (not saying there aren't any, just haven't ran into one). I don't regret being a Warrior tank :D
As a proud owner of two druid tanks I can tell you that sadly enough this is a fact. You don't see many of them and the ones you do see have no idea of how to play them.
