    Default What is the "best" tank for multiboxing.

    Staring a new 4 man group for instance, a tank 2 dps and a healer.

    The dps and healer all depends on what tank im gone get, Druid Warrior DK or Pally?

    Druid warrior or Pally i prob get a priest healer and 2 hunters, tryed dualboxing 2 survival hunters on PTR and dident rly have anny problem whit Lock and Load.
    Kinda fun to kill somone before a pally can get a flash heal up on him^^

    If i get a DK tank i will go for 3 shammys 1 resto

    Paladin requires the least amount of effort. One button spamming ftw! DK's seem a lot of fun, but I AM a paladin, IRL. So I am biased :/

    Honestly, if you go for a DK, you should not need a dedicated healer. Just make them all elemental, and use 4x lesser heals when needed.

    If you're going to use 4 shamans, then a DK is the "best". Not necessarily the easiest, but it will give you the most benefit. IMO its the most fun also.

    When I single boxed, I was a bear tank at 70. Now as a boxer, at 80, I am loving my DK.

    I use a pally and like it so far. I like the buffs and blessing, and I have the option of playing her as ret or holy some day if I wanna split off of the group.

    You don't need a dedicted healer for a paladin either, I use 4x elemental and just spam a couple lesser healing waves.

    I think they are all pretty viable overall, I'd make whatever you prefer the most. Sometimes I wish I had a warrior or a DK. Warrior being my old main, I would respec and play her solo in a hearthbeat. Paladin on the other hand, I don't care too much for ret and I enjoy healing with a priest or resto shaman a lot more

    DK is best at 80 and geared, paladin is best while leveling and undergeared. This all may change in patch 3.1, due out in 1-3 weeks, as DKs are getting slight nerfs.

    I would base your decision on this - dual spec. I have a feeling both make great tanks. Leveling up is not difficult so all that really matters is what you do at 80. So, IMO it comes down to what off spec you prefer.

    Definitely level the paladin to 55 though in case you want to switch to DK. Unless you want a different class to be available of course (I suppose this could also be a factor in your decision, i.e., if you want to have something like a mage or lock to go back to level up some day).

    Paladin's bring the most syngery to any group - and have the most "oh shit" buttons.
