Nah, the hardest one is getting invited to a pug as a prot warrior bro

[@wowprobeast7543]

Owned, jk feel for u bro. I make my own groups and have a good squad so I don’t struggle. I also picked up tank dh start of s2 and it’s been a nice turn of events to be meta without chasing flavor of the month.

[@Clarity251]

Still easier than being invited as pretty much every dps class though

[@Maximo-Maximus]

@@Clarity251 nah bro, there is only one tank in M+ and according to logs like 85% of players are playing vengeance, 7% prot paladin which are the best tanks sooo, most likely they will decline you and wait one minute and one of those 2 will pop up

[@Clarity251]

@@Maximo-Maximus well I play all the tanks and some dps and playing meta classes starts getting important for the community in +20s and above. Of course it is always easier to find a group as a meta class, but if you compare the amount of dps and the amount of tanks and healers applying for a key it is still much easier as a non meta tank or healer than for a non meta dps. IO Score and GS still seems to play a way more important role.

[@Maximo-Maximus]

@@Clarity251 Well I mostly do 21s and above so that’s the reasoning behind of my take hehe, what you say makes sense as well though

[@AnthusFrostwolf]

Whats the addon called where the cooldowns are shown like at 4:07?

Weakaura or Doom cooldowns

Blood dk is easy ? Imo the higher the key the less mistakes you can do.

[@69ricsko]

One Death Strike miss and u are dead 😂😂

[@gears204]

Yeah i was woundering same wtf xD

[@sobota2430]

u are not wrong there blood dk might seem easy but it is not u need to know the pulls and everything to plan ahead with resources also plan all of your cds not to mention the mobility

[@saeedatenzi]

@@69ricsko how do you miss death strike again?

[@dasilva9191]

@@sobota2430 you have to do that with every tank. That's called game mechanics lol

[@Srelathon]

Always wild seeing Protection Paladin on the hardest difficulty on these lists cause to me it feels extremely easy.

[@Sinitarus]

Yeah I guess a degree of subjectivity applies. Personally I find Prot warrior much harder than pro paladin 😅 despite objectively the latter being harder. Solely because prot warrior doesn’t “suit me”

[@koldaric9676]

I honestly don't see anything difficult about spamming buttons, so I agree! I think people are heavily exaggerating the importance of spending time in consecration. Its cooldown is short enough and wasting a tier bonus isn't going to break the game for you unless you're in the cutting edge content.

[@zfhavox]

Low skill floor high skill ceilling. Paladin has the highest carry potential out of all of the tanks due to the incredible amount of utility. Mediocre prot paladins are a dime a dozen but a truly good prot paladin is rare.

[@JSON_135]

Same, i feel like prot paladin is one of the easiest for me, just stay in consecrate and spend holy power, or heal yourself to full hp if you're low while saving it, i guess holy power manangment might be the hardest part of the spec..

[@riothead1240]

During the lich king expansion prot paladins could tank with 9 fingers missing.

[@huskerdee1431]

Still trying to get over my Tankphobia. I don’t know what it is, but I cant commit to tanking lol

[@TheShawnMower]

It's the toxic community that's scaring you away. If you can find a safe place / run your own groups and just advertise as it being a chill / learning run, you'll find like minded folks

[@huskerdee1431]

@@TheShawnMower true. Not knowing the tank mechanics can get you crucified in a group lol

[@Trentbail23]

Just watch some tank mechanic videos so it will go smoother. But be prepared for all the silly dps antics of pulling for you on accident. It’s really nice though knowing the route and how many mobs you want to take makes things a lot easier. Keep your head on a swivel and watch those patrolling packs.

[@huskerdee1431]

@@Trentbail23 I’ve been watching some guides, and have been making some MDTs for dungeons im not comfortable. I’ve been a dps slob since Pandaria so I’ve never even sniffed tank mechanics before this season. Like everything else I just need to commit

[@Maximo-Maximus]

Scared of what brother its ez as shit, stop fucking caring about what other ppl say and play what makes you happy king, you deserve it

[@Hosein8569]

as a tank main that has mostly mained prot paladin, i'll have to object. though i understand this list is mostly subjective, prot paladin is an easy class to mess up (though nowadays it is much harder to mess up as prot thanks to sentinel and the return of eye of tyr, but to me at least it's overall an average tank as it usually depends if you're used to a spec with a bunch of defensives. and I also have to say blood dk in alot of scenarios has to make each death strike count, on top of having to manage bone shield and runic power. to me i think if we reverse blood dk and prot pally's places it's more like it

[@Don_Tweak]

Bruh I tried tanking when I was 14 before cata was released.. I got absolutely shredded by the group and everyone left 😭

[@Ashidazx]

lol those memories stay with you man

[@jurgenbuntinx1]

I had this too, was doing the blackrook hold dungeon, i didnt die once and suddenly they say i'm a noob tank and that i should uninstall just before second boss. Now i finished m20 as a tank:)

[@Harrowing999]

The only tank I have is Prot Warrior. It’s the only tank I find fun. But conversely, most of its time is spent sitting in Valdrakken being denied 18s at 2700 IO and 484 ilvl lol.

[@chase4est1]

I play prot warrior, pally and bm and I deplete less keys on my paladin than warrior or monk. I don't feel like I have any issues surviving on either and with a good group/ healer all are fine. The problem seems to be the amount of poor healers that need the little boosts something like a pally can give through its heals, battle rez and shareable defensives.

[@kenanderson5739]

The video quality and production are second to none. Keep up the good work and continue helping the Retail WOW Universe :D

[@kazkorianor]

Good dk easy? The ping pong tank that is at 20% 1/2 of the time ? The rotation might be easy but the important part of tanking … being stable and having agro isn’t that easy

[@ohhhbirdy5975]

I always thought brewmaster was too hard but honestly once you get a hang of the dps rotation and it becomes muscle memory, the defensive aspect becomes super easy imo! You always absolutely pump as a bm

[@syxqid3818]

Actually i don't like my tank. Just because so many dps think they can pull what they want instead of let the tank pull... and if you let them die they flame you -.-

[@lilpuddin1560]

As a blood dk, the first 5-10 seconds of a pull are the worst, but thats only if im going into a pull with 0 bone armor. once the dungeon gets going i always try to make sure i have a bunch of stacks of bone armor going into a new pull

[@dixiekongfan1]

You can press abomimation limb before the key starts and you'll get 9 charges for free. The cooldown resets just like other transformation cooldowns

[@alexd-xx4yd]

BDK and Pally should switch places in your list

[@wowprobeast7543]

For everything you said about prot pally concecration where you must stand in it for benefits, blood dk should get the same credit for difficulty/ annoyance involving that mechanic because blood is also dependent on standing in death and decay

[@ilmw3980]

dunno about ppala but bdk has procs of dnd with cd resets so its still ans issue but not that big as ppala

[@davidlavancha1538]

Blood DK is easy until you hit higher than average content. Knowing how not to get one shot at the start of a pull before you have RP in a 25+ and get a full ramp before you are fucked takes a much more skilled player. The skill ceiling for BDK is pretty nuts honestly. BM monk is still hardest tank to play by far though.

[@arliss35]

I've been maining tank this whole expac. I've played all except prot paladin, though demon hunter is my most played. In my opinion, warrior is the easiest. You can focus on damage for like 80% of a dungeon or raid, until you get into specific boss phases or higher mythic keys. You get enough uptime on shield block to not worry about anything. That being said, it isn't quite as fun. Brewmaster is hard but it is hectic and fun as heck.

[@FerencziCosmin]

Try to push some higher keys as a prot warr and u will change your mind, that spell and dot damage that u take at some add groups and last boss from Rise u can fill it in your finger :) 🎉

[@reynaldoreyes9593]

Tanking is more fun then dps

[@marcintrybus7092]

ups I want to learn to tank and I chosen BM I just hit 60 lets see what gonna happen later xd

[@dr.zoidberg8666]

Stick with it!! The current Black Ox raid build is admittedly complex, but it feels sooo cool when you nail it.

[@Cross291]

The amount of auto interrupts on a prot pally tho, amazing!

[@noxot13]

used to be insane when the AS cleave silenced all targets hit.

[@Nyeusi]

It’s nice but the double sigils on dh triumph that now

[@Clarity251]

Bdk is only easy in low keys and to play prot pala on a decent level isnt hard imo. My Ranking is: Bear VDH Warri Pala BDK BM

[@Zordlord1337]

Is there a way to turn party chat off?

[@o_fernandomattos]

I got all portals (timed +20s) on Bear, Veng Dh, brewmaster and PPal.. For me the easiest is Veng, cause it's just tankier almost for free, even without active defensives. Some mechanics where we must push one good defensive CD on the others, on DH you can simply press the spikes and keep attacking comfortably. The damage spikes just hits less on them.

[@vladforgot]

as pvper decided to get some 535 rings. speced tank DH. its so much pain to play it. sigils, lots of buttons, lots of cds, feels like a hell piano.

[@evilmarius]

People may get angry with me but, i will say macro makes them easy. I've been playing wow since 2005 as a druid. I had an accident and my gaming experience is significantly damaged. I started using macros by modifying them. Tbh, the game has become much more easier to play, less buttons to press, less reflexes needed and more fun.

[@noxot13]

tanking or healing is so worth it just to get near-instant ques, try them out & help the poor dps wait less. if you like being at the top of dps then at lower lvs tanks & healers can out damage people often.

[@Iandar1]

The difficulty of blood is mostly external to themselves in other words dungeon/raid knowledge.

[@apsodyeu3694]

I main paladin , you speak the truth, i like that you spoke about the 2 holy power and having avengers shield but sacrificing it for getting that bit more holy power. But i still dont think its harder then brewmaster

[@sweetfeathery]

Shit is too complex

[@Aea-Mongol]

paladin "hard" to play?? LOL xD

[@andrewthomas817]

Run a plus 2 in dawn first dungeon with dps who doesn't do mechanics and tell me it's easy

[@gerasimoskardaras1319]

nice video, I play dk as dps but as offspec tank is easy for me to follow most of the times

[@db8094]

"all specs are gonna be easy, because it's world of Warcraft" shots fired!

[@saeedatenzi]

I dont get how people say pala is harder than dh? pala literally has 4 panic buttons and 3 defensive cd's, is just staying on consecration makes it that hard? I mean I play it and dont feel its much harder than prot warriors just more util and its almost second easiest tank in terms of doing damage

[@ilmw3980]

easy to learn hard to master. more util buttons = more minmax things to worry about

[@lemmy9362]

I've seen SOOOO MANY bad gurdian druids. One of them is my friend. He is playing with weird talents, doesn't use ironfur , swipe is his top dps ability and he is somehow 2700 rio. I've tried to help him multiple times but he just doesn't want to listen.

[@JamesV1]

No ironfur is wild

[@havtor007]

In season 2 there was at least 1 guardian druid who got Title without ever pressing ironfur if he played in Season 2 he might believe it is similar strenght

[@jeroenbakker1425]

i love all those tank ratings however now i got a question. Which tank is doing the most dps and still hes alot of survival ? Not for instance or raiding but for solo open world play and to kill alot of elites in 1 pull .

[@ahrian69]

I guess demon hunter

[@Erik1495]

What was that at min 13:57 ??? Was that ele shaman? That chain Lightning looks amazing

[@CancerousGrowt]

Almost making me reconsider coming back to WoW

Can't disagree more. BDK on higher content is really hard. One mistake and all of you are down. Same for Vengeance with amount of buttons he have and have to master to get "best" out of situations. Also, Brewmaster ain't that hard as described, there is bit button float but once you get used to it it is way more easier than BDK or Prot Warrior (which is nowhere near "easy"). Prot Paladin as one of hardest? lol defo not. He is really one of easiest tanks (High-end content) in game right now.

[@merenwen_kiltæsir]

My favourite tank is paladin 😊 the second best for me is paladin. Then paladin, followed by paladin, second last is paladin and last unfortunately I’m going to place the paladin 😕

​@user-yy7qp1qj8k It's still the best. I love offhealing and also dealing with both incorp and afflicted

[@DabDat91]

Bro.... Your wrong, DH is the easiest tank. Literally a 3 button spec, prot paladin is also misplaced, it's a SUPER easy spec, literally just sam offensives, and stagger your MANY defensives.
