Best tank to play in MoP, from what you`ve seen in Beta?

[obao98]

Simple question. What, in your opinion is shaping up to be the best tank in MoP. Please, only vote if you know the difference between the tanks, and you have at least some ideia of how each tank plays. Forget about the state of the tanks in the game live today. We're just talking about tanks in the Beta and how they'll play in MoP (or how you think they'll play).

Plz, comment about CDs, survivability, avoidance, fun factor, etc.

DK by quite a margin, they're more OP than they are on live right now even. AMS needs a nerf :-x

[Elmot]

I found death knights to be a lot more fun in beta than live as of their current state.
Quite good survivability as well.

Even though I chose Death Knights as best to play in MOP, I found that the monk is the most fun to play. Maybe it's because it's still new, but its still fun.

Monks are definitely close behind Dk's imo. Reasonable survivability and pretty moderate threat overall. I've done some tanking with my dk and I've actually had a little bit more issues with threat than i have had live.

[checking facts]

before the removal of the 6% crit, it was warlocks. fun to play, easy to heal, 0% spiky damage.

so sad

Has anyone done DK since the change to Blood Shield only absorbing Physical instead of all damage? Or was that just at tool tip fix.

I'm just curious what about dks why are they so good? I actually have one of each tank and can't for the life of me choose who to main, but haven't played much on the beta. Which is why I came here.

[Arothand]

Very curious about this myself seeing as I have a Warrior and a Paladin that I'm debating between. That said though I recently was trying out a monk in dungeons and they seem pretty fun and neat; a lot of things to remember though (when to use Purifying Brew, keeping up BoK, when to use Guard, when to use the +Dodge brew, how many stacks of Tiger Palm's buff you have, etc.) but it seemed pretty darn fun.

They are designed well. They do great damage, hold threat (not sure about mop :/), and are fun and easy to play.

Isn't that the case with, oh i don't know; Guardians / feral druid?

My druid right now does more then enough dmg/dps, more then any other tank. Our MT has to wait on fights like Ultraxion otherwise i get aggro too easily.

So yeah; like others asked; Why are DK's so 'OP' atm in beta?

Yeah, but currently on live you can just switch to cat and do epic dps, wont be the same come MoP.

I mained my dk from wrath to the first teir of cata, I know them well, i meant why are they winning this poll in beta, what's changed?

Tooltip fix.

From everything I've seen from my own Warrior & my guildmates Monks/DKs/Paladins/Druids and listening to our Healer's experiences with them, Brewmasters seem to be the best all-around atm.

They do crazy single target & AoE damage.
They don't take a lot of damage in general.
They do a lot of self-healing on themselves and even their group.

[Xelk]

I'm going to be that guy.
You should play the tank you enjoy the most, and pray there aren't any encounters they suck at.

[Mionelol]

Monks or Druids atm. Monks have the best raid cd in the game, Druids are virtually immortal compared to other tanks.

But it's beta, and things come and go. class balance isn't even close to being finished.

Our tanking god has spoken. And no, I'm not being sarcastic.

[lagmoose]

I'm really digging the Brewmaster Monk, myself. I like the mechanics and I don't really feel as "scared" to run in and start tanking with them. I'm sure when they go live they could feel a whole lot different than they do in beta, but if it is more or less the same, I may be changing my tanking class from the Pally to the Monk.

[Arothand]

I liked what I saw from Monks too, but realistically I'm not going to level a fresh toon from 1-90, so it looks like I'm sticking with my Warrior. My co-tank is going to switch to his Druid so it's just as well given that if I were to go Monk we'd be competing for gear.

MIONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

I personally think warriors. 50k++ dps single target, 500000 cooldowns and a ton of mobility.
