A barbarian warrior, Berserker for straight Dmg and a Barbarian Defender for MT.
and the best form for a warrior is anything EXCEPT rat lol.

I think Paladins are the strongest tanks after class balancing.I'm fairly certain paladins can match defender ac.with that much ac plus thier healing thats quite powerful.All you need after that is the right resists maxed or all if possible.


 


my DK is now at 6 def mods and 4k ac that extra 1k ac defenders can get must make all the difference in the world.cause stuff still hits hard sometimes..


 


As far as race goes if you want to be choosy it comes down to racial cms.If you don't care then it's  personal preference on character model.


 


The best tank is the one you like to play the most.It's a game the point is to have fun.

I am not really sure if there is a bestI only say that cause its more how you build one I guess.My pally is still a baby and Im still learning her.I do notice she gets crazy ac and such but her damage at the moment is not what I would expect from a war which could be just how I have built her .I have though seen alot more pallys MTin as of late.Cel is a decent tank to had been my first one but there are somethings that just beat her ass regardless of what I do

lol i htink with the pally being all the Mts nowadays and dont really take this as sound but i think all hte wars/sk are jsut dropping there MTin ways and going straight for the regular grind becasue of CB, because a pally can hold aggro better because of heals...like a sk but not many sk are DKs

Pallys are probally the top tanks now, wars got screwed. Sks and wars are kinda tied on tanking depending on how you build them. DK, Defender are best for MTs i think. For pally it would have to be Crusader or the one that has that healing aura (might be crusader lol idk).

I'm seriously at a loss as for how to make a great tank.My Deathknight currently has 6 def mods and over 4.5k ac with a drd buff.I recently tried tanking bolunder for the caster epic.of course I had max agi with ava.It's damage was insane didnt stand a chance.the only idea I have left is to trade in my def mods for 525 agi

I was talking to a guildie last night and he also was telling me he had noticed the changes in Tanks.Basically there is none.He was like my buffs are dropping faster and stuff beats the Shit out of me.I can sympathize,it would figure they would screw up the one toon I love to play lol

It really blows if your doing a bigger mob.Example we first tried to kite Boulder cause he hits like a truck and the kiter was screamin ava every however minutes.I am like that is so ****ty.


We did Biddleby on a spur with five people one whom was tri boxing and that was a son of a bitch between healing and ava.
