Funny thing is as its looking now prot warriors are definately in the top.

So yeah?

[munchimunchi]

lol sorry forgot about warriors :

[Klindeth]

The strongest tank is definitely Death Knight, Paladin, or Warrior.

The other tanks, however, are more agile.

[Project 501D13R]

atm it looks like a warrior built around maximum uptime on ignore pain is the best tank, but as with everything we will have to see when legion comes out, as we don't have a full picture of anything without artifacts.

I don't have beta, all I know is second hand and deduced by watching videos, and that is that the artifacts are a huge part of our class and until legion goes live we just don't have all the info.

bear is the strongest tank, and it's a cold hard fact, not an opinion, who voted DH, monk or Pala is insane.

[Gorgodeus]

Guardian Druid is the strongest tank on Beta atm.

[ZazuuPriest]

Warrior self heals are amaze, on par in 5 mans with disc priest healing depending on how fast the group kills mobs

[potis]

Prot Warrior myself as far as i recall it goes something like this in Beta from different sources all over these last few months.

Guardian > Prot Warrior > Blood DK/DH> Prot Pala/Monk.

But i think in reality is more like:

Guardian is stronger/equal to Prot Warrior stronger than DK stronger than DH stronger/equal to Prot Pala stronger than Monk.

As long as you dont roll Monk you should be fine.

Then again, Guardian is the stronger with 0 skill required :3.

If you are looking for that, simply go Guardian.

why do you say guardians require zero skills

Warrior self heals?

I mean sure recount does factor in Ignore pain but thats not a heal, its a shield. There is a vast difference.

Anyway guardin druid i could just never play. Its to simple

[potis]

why do you say guardians require zero skills

Expression: Requires 0 skill to play.

Not spells. Actual playing skill. Its literally 2 buttons for rage,moonfire and spam swipe and proc mangle for more rage--> Use appropriate mitigation.

'break or make' might be a bit much, but yes they are a huge part of evaluating a class. Your artifact comes with, in most cases, a primary rotational ability, and as you get further into your artifact, you unlock game changing talents. It's big.

No. This is wrong info.

The artifacts come with a cooldown ability, not a general rotation ability

I dunno, I think I've got to stand by that... looking at just the cooldown times for each artifact abilities of just the tank specs:

Warriors - :45
Paladins - 1:00
Brewmaster - 1:15
Druid - 1:30
Blood - :45
Vengeance - 1:00

Now those aren't abilities that you are going to spam, but they are abilities that you can reasonably expect to cycle through 4-5 times over the course of a fight. I wouldn't consider that a 'cooldown' so much as a primary ability. Semantics aside, whether or not you consider these 'cooldowns' or primary abilities, it's undeniable that they'll have a significant impact on the gameplay of each class, simply because (as mentioned) you'll be using these abilities multiple times over the course of a fight, and this doesn't even yet touch on the artifact talents which can be equally game changing.

45+ seconds on all of them means i am right.

You seriously cant call 45+ seconds on abilities rotational abilities

Edit:

The artifacts themselves wont have much impact on rotations if any. Its basicly just small buffs to all abilities and one ekstra cd.

Tomato, tomato. The point is, these are abilities that you're going to be using several times over the course of a fight and are going to have a big effect on how that class plays and performs.

You're going to find yourself very disappointingly surprised if you go into Legion with this assumption. The artifacts are hugely impactful.
