Whilst they moved away from having other classes needed / useful to directly tank a boss, there are other more recent fights that involved a dps taking a more tanky role. ones that come to mind are: Frost mages (or another dps that could do it) on Mythic Guldan in NH, tanking the nightorb in final phase. Rogues (or others) tanking stars on mythic Garrosh ranged dps on Restless Cabal (kind of lol) Then there were a bunch of other BC bosses people did weird tanking stuff, like Eredar twins, Kaelthas, and maybe more? I kinda wish we had more fights that let people shake up roles, having stuff to offtank or kite (like on Garrosh or Guldan) or being able to do weird role stuff like Warlock tanking in MoP (F for Sparkguzz) or the 4 dps MDI runs back in legion. (Just skimming the comments people said Rogues on Netherspite and Mother Shirrazzah in BT, not sure if these are correct, but would go with the clear theme of blizz, whether intentionally or not, having lots of weird tanking mechanics.)

Hiruma, you also missed one of the later expansion bosses, garalon, the boss required 2 tanks to soak a big cleave, but you could use rogues with glyphed feint to reduce the cleave damage to tolerable levels, allowing for no tanking as the boss just chased whoever had the phereomone debuff. It was not a boss that strictly required dps to tank the boss, but could be done without much hassle, to the point it made it easier for raids to go 8dps2heal in 10man heroic.

Also worthy of mention is the short period of time during WotLK where Voidwalker tanking was a thing for certain fights. I remember beating Sartha3D 25 or 10 that way. I was in all frost resist gear due to it having the highest stamina and that stat double dipping into the pet's HP, which meant Zag'zazt could have up to ~80k hp early Wrath. Also it was a way to cheese Iron Council Hardest Mode where the big one (what's his name?) put a death timer on the tank, and so you just lost a Voidwalker instead of your tank for the first occurence of that ability.

I feel like the warlock tank should have been given an honorable mention for MoP as well. If you took the glyph Dark Apotheosis it gave you a special transformation as a warlock to become physically more tanky and changed a few abilities to allow better threat gain as well. No joke, on my server there were legit warlocks decked out in late game tank trinkets/rings/necklaces/back pieces and sometimes weapons to push their tank stats even higher. It was niche for the expansion and was removed not long after, but man... it was SO much damn fun using that glyph and having the extra tankiness on top of already being hard to kill with as much survivability as we had during that expansion.

I didn't take much more damage than a regular tank and dodging is 0 dmg but I consumed SO MUCH thistle tea. It got quite expensive so we didn't even try for any of the other dungeons.

I still think they should give Warlocks a tank spec, based around the old Dark Apotheosis from Mists as well as the LockTank follower from WoD, Aeda Brightdawn. Could even give them a grimoire of sacrifice like ability that let them sacrifice different demon pets for different buffs like physical damage taken reduction, magic damage taken reduction, resistance to loss of control effects, etc. There's plenty of other spec ideas that would be neat to see as well: Shaman tank spec based on Earth - then they'd have 1 spec per element, and it would be a nice call-back to the old pre-WoD Rockbiter Weapon, giving bonus threat and reducing damage taken. Healer Mage spec based on reversing time and such, like how Chromie did in that scenario in Legion. Int Spellcaster DPS Paladin spec based on the Scarlet Crusade maybe? Ranged Physical DPS Rogue based around thrown weapons. Would be nice to have an additional ranged physical dps spec other than Hunters, and would be a call-back to both the Thrown Weapons slot, and to Shuriken Toss back when it let Rogues convert their auto attacks into ranged shuriken throws for a short duration. Also, totally feel like Classic Four Horsemen should've been on here, even though they required "normal" tanks, the fight required _8_ instead of the typical _1-2_ .

Regarding the Blood Prince Council, there was the easy alternative of playing a DK, and saving your Frost runes for the nuclei, since it applied a dot, and while in Frost Presence it also dealt a fuck-ton of threat. you just had to make sure you were dealing with it far away from where the other two bosses were being fought, or at least tell people not to use AOE as not to pull the nuclei away. Meanwhile you'd be constantly hitting the boss with blood/heart strike, and death/scourge strike. But then again DKs were strong in general, so...

Back when WoW was more old-school MMO where classes had more flavor and before homogenization had taken over. I liked there being unusual tanks as part of that, even if 90% of the time it was Warlocks. Hell, when they briefly had that Warlock tanking functional Glyph, most Locks seemed to love the idea, and to this day, I don't know why they didn't just go with it and let Demonology be a tanking spec, or add a tanking spec at some point (like when they gave Druid's a 4th spec). They said at the time it was because some Demo Locks wanted to stay dps, but they ignored that when they swapped the DK specs so Blood was tanking and the others were dps. Lock tanking, honestly, would be a really unique take on tanking that you don't see in MMOs - a clothie/caster tanking, even if using Demon form (kinda like Druids in Bear form) just isn't a thing you see, but is very cool conceptually. To this day I don't know why they were so adamantly against it. Granted, with Demon Hunters, they kinda filled in that niche some, but DH's are still melee classes at the end of the day, not casters. And certainly not casters with a pet.

I thought the Twin Emperors physical damage immune guy was tanked by a warrior who just spammed Demoralizing Shout, though I wouldn't bet money on that being a viable strategy. It's just something I remember.

It is/was possible but warlocks build more threat and take less dmg since they have alot resistance and searing pain
@RazanaArcclaw3 жыл бұрын
it was possible but the dude would then spam arcane blast which dealt a lot of damage, and knocked back, it also dealt high shadow damage, something the warlcoks soaked better then tanks. it was DOABLE with a normal tank, but it was far better to use a lock.

On TBC warlocks also tanked Grand Astromancer Capernian(Kael'Thas fight, Tempest Keep) and Grand Warlock Alythess(Eredar Twins, Sunwell Plateau). Tanked em all. :)

Sathiron 3 drakes could be void walker tanked. Some awesome weird tanking bosses out there.

warlocks were also very good at twin emps because searing pain does so much threat.

Arcane mage: The tank no one asked for. Not even the mage. But boy does it tests a tanks threat levels. I've become an unwarranted mage tank many times throughout the years and now I demand it be a spec.

Ever since doing one of the legion class hall quests where you meet a blood elf battle mage that joins you Ive been wanting a battle mage spec.
