Who should i use as tank

[palvarik]

I have been leveling my 5 shaman team and now that i am in the outlands I want to solidify the pve team and bring in a tank.

I can gift levels so i could have a level 60 pally or a 60 druid or start a DK.

I was thinking either the DK or druid since i already have a 80 pally on my first team. Anyone with some insight which would be better?

You can't gift levels above level 59, so that means max you can get from gifting is level 60.

Do the druid now and level a DK later. Starting at lvl 55 is too nice.. Don't waste gifted levels there. Gift those levels to the druid and that way you have some variety.

Bear, but I'm a bit partial.

I have a similar question.

I just started boxing and I have a 71 Druid doing the Instance Rushing while I have RAF exp. I was curious as to peoples opinion on whether a Druid is a decent Tank for Boxing Heroics/Instance grinding at 60-80.

Or if its would be a better strategy to get a Paladin or DK up to do the tanking?

All 3 are extremely viable. It's really going to come down to your personal preference. I'm partial to bears because I've played one for ~ 2.5 years.

hell i use my warrior. Druids are really similar but more health, more dps, more agro, and more mitigation. I would think these would make them an excellent choice. My warrior does a good job too.

You can level to 1.999 adn then gift levels to 60.999, travel to outlands and get the explore XP and be 61.

Personally I'd go with a pally tank, by far the easiest to maintain for multiboxing.

Ok so if i decide to do DK Frost spec

What would be a good tanking macro? I have the 96969 on my pally and it works awesome with button mashing just can not seem to find one on these forums using the search.


Or if i decide to use a druid same question tanking macro?

Thanks in advance

My frost DK I have set up for AOE tanking. D&D to start the pull, then Icy Touch > Plague Strike>Pestilence>Horn of winter>Frost Strike>Howling Blast> Pestilence>Obliterate>Frost Strike>Frost Strike>Howling Blast>Blood boil

Or there abouts-ish, just repeating the sequence.
