Pali vs Death Knight "Tanking"

[phineas01]

Maybe I just suck at multi-boxing or using my DK but I was having an easier time with my paladin tank. I feel that overall I would benefit more from using my DK due to the higher damage output (since I'm only running four characters) but it just feels like I have to concentrate on him more than the pally and that I don't like as I think I have enough going on watching aggro and health bars and making sure my two dps are dpsing and making sure the the heals I just hit actually went off, etc, etc.

You don't suck at boxing, or at playing a DK. Just at reading retension :P

I kid, but it's been said numerous times in this thread and others that Paladins take less effort/concentration than Death Knights. That being said, the DK does have some nice bonuses to weigh in if you're considering an either/or scenario. As has been said, it's really up to taste/personal playstyle, and preference.

No you're completely right

Looking at Hachoo's post and his macros I see how playing a DK as tank would be almost as easy as a pally. I did however re-evaluate my setup and ended up respecing all three of my druids with my healer going full resto and made a /castrandom for my pally and I cleared Ramparts all the way up to the final boss but couldn't kill him. I only made two attempts though and I think with a little more focus on keeping my slaves out of the fire I could take them down with relative ease now. So YAY! to me, I feel much better as before I changed my setup I was wiping before I got the the first boss. I lost my healer once on trash though due to forgetting divine shield dumps agro inch:

One question for everyone about Omar in ramparts, any recomendations for when he knocks your tank in the air? I seemed to completly lose aggro when that happened and couldnt regain it utill all three of my druids were dead. It was just a stroke of luck I was able to kill him before he killed me.
