which tank?

[Myrkky]

Hey guys, im starting to get back to multiboxing.. and i have to make new account here becouse i didint find my older one anywhere. but anyways. I have box tank-tank-3xhealer and my friend did box 5xdps. we might be back on next expansion to clear those 10man raids again. but for now im thinking to try that tank-heal-3bm hunter combo, i think il take my restodruid, or restoshaman, need to try both. but tank. tank have always been "hard choise" for me, sometimes i like to look that bear mashing everything on the way, and sometimes i just need that old good sword-shield tank with all those transmogs.. and then there is dk, somewhere middle, looking for his place.

I have all the tanks at 110 and 900+ ilvl, paladin have been good in several times, its like tank what you can place somewhere and leaved there to do his rotation, but in otherhand, paladin is, atleast now a little bit, lets say boring. dh is out of question. warrior? there was time when i box with warriors, but these days its feels too strange. so druid, that bear who have been good like always, but, its a bear. and dk, im not suse what to say about dk, im not sure do i "feel it".

But i need a tank, and it will be druid or dk. druid is easy to make work, its simple. dk have some more things going on, and i think its not as easy to make work as druid. so what you fellow boxers say? druid or dk? and that question im looking some pros-cons.

And finally, im feeling good to be (soon) back in busines. please dont mind my english..

Myrkky, peace.

As a Paladin tank since BC, I'm a little biased against Druids (they were always the 'hybrid' that could actually do it all), so I'd vote DK :-P but that being said, it's really about what is fun for you. Both have good survivabity.

I know for me, it was what I was comfortable driving from (my Paladin tank). I currently use Paladin (Tank), Shaman (Healer) and Frost Mage (DPS) and it seems to work nice for me. For my second team, it was a little more fantasy based, so I have Warrior (Tank), Priest (Healer) and BM Hunter (DPS) - all Dwarves with names similar to that of The Hobbit.

Anyway, just my 2c. GL!

It's always hard, if not impossible to say what someone else should play... Especially for an expansion we know very little about.

Currently both spec are perfectly viable and outside aesthetic difference I would consider the main difference to be that the DK probably requires a little bit more baby sitting to "maximize". This could change naturally...

Also, WB, I enjoyed seeing the progress you guys had in HFC. Torilla tavataan.

I've played Protection Paladin and Guardian Druid a good bit this expansion and would highly recommend either one. Both did very well with survival cooldowns and self healing.

little update :) i have done some leveling, and i have now 2 "tank" accounts, both have 110lvl druid-pala-dk-warrior. one druid at the tank account is healer atm. and 3 "dps/healer" account, those have 110lvl shaman-druid-hunter. this is becouse my long time plan is start raiding with my friend who controls 5+ dps. but for now i have just started to run heroics etc to get gear for mythic+. im running druid-druid-3xhunter atm, and its feels good. i might post some videos to youtube, but im not sure is there a point, becouse theres ppl who have box like really high mythic+ dungeons.

Word of advice: paladins and dks have a passive aura that makes that toon run/fly 20% faster, which will make the slave loose /follow, unless you either switch leader when you want to travel a bit or you can wait with your main like every 15 sek or so, to let the others catch up. I dont think druids have this passive speed boost, though ive never played one. Maybe that would be your most "convinient" tank/main.
