BEST Tank for YOU | WoW Dragonflight Tank Tier List Ranked 

Monks tank by throwing kegs and drinking different types of beer. I really don’t understand how people play anything else.

Dungeon Coach Gaming Tutorial: 5 Break down: 5 Video and audio: 5 Knowledge 5 Energy: 5 Best content: 5 Huge fan! Super informative video! Plz do same content on melee, healer, aoe and range tier list ranked👍💯

I really like this scoring system. It not only makes it clear for us trying to decide how to tank, but it also reveals the "playstyle" of each class as you explain your reasoning for each score. Real cool

Love the vibes based descriptions of abilities. As a new player, I don’t care about names of abilities, numbers, etc., I just want to hear about vibe and feel, and this perfectly answers that! Thanks for the video!

I very much like your video format and how it's different than the numerous tier lists videos, I can feel the effort you put on this and the actual information is helpful to make a decision and give an outlook on what tank to consider playing, so thank you. I wish you'd make same style video for healers aswell or at least lead me to someone that does? I would love an informative video like this but for healers.

You're missing a lot of Bear's self healing: After the Wildfire (Group), extra healing received through talents, free Frenzied Regens, and either Ursoc's Fury or Elune's Favor.

Mobility is my new , #1 stat that I consider when I’m picking a class for a new X-Pac. Fallowed by #2 , class fantasy. #3 flexibility . Making me picks between DH and Monk

pretty cool video, though there were a few things missed for some classes. for example Druids can heal the group when using ironfur for huge heals, they also have auto regrowths for free and overhealing that heals the group too. So I'd either push that up to 4-5 for healing.

This really was a great video, helped me so much, and was thoroughly enjoyed. Well done!

12:15 ‘boom I’m a bear’ - the best part Awesome video tho for real. Would love to see more of these kind of role/class breakdowns. Helps out as a new WoW player myself.

Great video, thank you for this. One thing I would have been interested in is the difficulty of each tank; you touched on this a couple of times that I felt that it could have been a good number to rank. By difficulty I mean; how much will I be mashing keys to keep threat and stay alive, how much will I be punished for mistakes, how hard is it to position myself and mobs, how much effort does it take to use my utility effectively. Skill floor/ceiling etc.

Mate how good was this guide. Explained everything I needed to know.

Good stuff.. soo much more useful than a tier list when i am trying to pick a spec!

A video like this for healers would be cool

Returning tank here, been tanking almost exclusively since BC. A lot has changed obviously. Great video, glad I watched it to catch up on playstyles and capabilities.

Thank you for posting a video like this, most tank videos are all about min/max and they really just confuse people that are just beginning with the tank role

All I been looking for the whole time. Thank you brother.

Paladin should have at least a 1 in displacement, simply because they can kick casts by throwing their shield into casting enemies that are far away, so they stop casting and change location, mostly to your advantage. Saying that great video for people who want some kind of information on what tank class they want to play.

Phenomenal video. Exactly what I was looking for. Thanks

I disagree about druids self healing. Dream of cenarious and protector of the pack is one of the best combos. The amount regrowth will heal for is around 60% total HP and can proc every 20 seconds. Let's not forget galactic guardian, twin moonfire and elunes favor for a constant HOT.

As a vanilla raid tank that quit in TBC and hasn’t looked at the game much since. My goodnesss, the hell is going on with tanks? I feel like I was frozen in the past and unfrozen in the future and the world is craaaazy! Very exciting! I really loved this video.

This is a fantastic format for a class review. I know what type of playstyle I like, but most videos don't make it as clear which classes match that. (Also not surprised as someone who really cares about mobility that I found my way to demon hunter and monk).

Excellent tanking video. Having never played a tank it gave me great insight into what they have to do and how I can help them out. Would you be able to do a similar style of video for healers?

Best df prep vid I've seen. Great weak auras BTW

Paladin displacement isnt zero... avenger shield is a kick, and by extension so is divine toll. They're REALLY good at moving casters into range. They also get an AoE disorient.

Very nice job!

Finally a fucking video that doesn't talk about tier lists.

very informative info my man

I just love your videos

I like soloing stuff, so self healing is king. I also like to have a lot of mobility, and so DH is the choice for me.

Grabbing Titanic Throw + Imp Heroic Throw can be good for range aoe/pickup. high threat to 5 targets on a 3 seconds cd, can be weaved into melee range aswell with some movement or shockwave, since it does more damage and threat than a revenge + costs no rage.

Omg, thank you so much for this! The whole vibe thing was what I was looking for, not "who's the best in Mythic blah blah blah" nonsense. I just wanted to get the general feel of each tank and you broke that down beautifully for me, so thank you for that! I'm looking for this because I'm not a big tank person (I'm definitely more comfortable doing DPS) but I'd like to have at least one of each role in both faction (Hi, my name is Azure and I'm an altoholic), just to be prepared (even though I do mostly solo content). I also RP, so that's a big thing for me too. So, I've had a pally tank in the Alliance and a warrior tank in the Horde and quite honestly...I don't like my pally. I just don't. I'm not feeling it. But I really do enjoy my warrior in the Horde but...I really don't want to do yet ANOTHER warrior to replace my Alliance pally, if I can help it. I've narrowed down the playing field to two possibilities. I'm here because I don't like my pally, I only want one of each Heroic class and I have those covered, so DH and DK are not up for consideration, and I don't really like bear druids (druids are low on my list overall). So it really boils down to getting another tank warrior, which I am familiar with and enjoy, or going for the big question mark...the tank monk. I've only ever played DPS monks, so the tank was a big mystery to me. Thanks to this vid, I now have a general idea of how they work and they definitely sound interesting, so I may give that a shot. Thanks again! This video was of great help!

Best tanking video I have saw about tanks

you forgot Druid's skullbash as a part of mobility. its a small range charge. but still its a great mobility tool! with the "double charge you don't need the ranged AOE its real easy to get groups together with the swipy-swipes to get everybody in a big cluster!

Amazing video. This is the best guide I have ever seen for choosing a tank. After watching this I feel like I tried each class out and I can decide which one to play. Thank you SO MUCH you have saved me a ton of time.

Did I miss it or did he not talk about After the Wildfire for druids?

as a brewmaster my self-healing and defensives keeps me alive for a long time and even competitive with certain healers and other tanks, its all about managing the combos, stacking purified chi, and not panicking when you are rubber banding 🙂

Strange question but do you have any tips on good responses to deal with tank-insulters? I know it’s good practice just to leave the key if it’s low and a DPS is whinging, but in your experience, is there any response that will make them take ‘a long, hard look’ at themselves? Just asking as someone who genuinely wants to learn tanking but hates confrontation

Do you have a monk tank guide? I’m really wanting to get into tanking this time around.

Good video

Technically boneshield is not DKs active mitigation. It is a short buff after using deathstrike. Some boss mechanics in legion asked for active mitigation which is this short buff.

Warrior in a nutshell: Zoom! Smash! Leap! Crash! Become a wall, repeat. Very satisfying in dungeons. You just don't get the same visceral feeling from other tanks.

for BDK ressources gestion, when you say it's "not too crazy complex", is it because unlike lots of other tanks you don't need to spam some spells and have to use deathstrike at the "good moment" ? Cause i love the gameplay and the survivability of the BDK, it's so chill. I love not having to spam spells so I have enough time to keep watching my life bar, others life bar, put my aoe, regularly a deathstrike, keep my runic power quite high and my bones stacks... but that's it ; is that "complex" ? i hope that's all in the basic rotation cause i'm scared it won't be enough for M+ and the class might be too complex for me at higher level.

Pally’s also get a heal, and group heal through consecration too.

It’s out of two tanks for me i mained VDH for shadowshite but this time I have casually been playing blood dk I love being top of healing in every dungeon so in my mind I’m playing it right I’m a bit of a noob and use add on called MAXDPS to help with my rotation 2 million on wow use it so it must be good and use pawn to tell me which is best upgrades I’m a simple guy so forgive me but I will take any advice on tanking or add ons best to use.

Great breakdown! really like that you focus on what is Most Important in a game: Having fun!

Best tank is dh and warrior this pac guardian gonna really be strong now with that huge dps gain

as a warrior when you want to grab aggro you wile you are on another pack you heroic leap thunderclap than charge back to were you were before its almost instant if you have some practice .

Easily my favorite up and coming WoW content creator. Please keep this up

There is Sunfire for druid that makes dot to all nearby enemies. So there is better option for ranged aoe than moonfire

Is your Demon Hunter rundown/rating still the same today after patches?

Plate tanks: Paladin / Warrior / Death Knight Leather Tanks: Monk, Druid, Demon Hunter Chain Mail tanks: [crickets]

I tanked WotLK as a Prot Warrior but left the game after we beat Arthas. Getting back into the game, trying to decide if want to tank as a Warrior or Demon Hunter.

I'm honestly eye balling warrior after 2 expansions of monk with the three before as healing priest. I haven't touch warrior since wrath.

Excelent video, very detailed and clarifying! And, as a DK player since ever, I must say, I agree with the ranking, they're the best! 😂💀💗

Self healing for druid is a 3? Usually I heal more or equal than the healer. I would changed the defensive too (4-5), Guardian Druid is actually so resistent.

The first 60 seconds of this video and I sigh...: FINALLY!!! I dont care about DPS and Meta and so... I want fun.. I want playability..

I don't know, maybe pally is my main for 17 yrs, u felt commentators in this expension just hate on pally tanks. Maybe just their personal opinion, but u can't down with the self healing part and mobility, also displacement.

Funny how Druid tanks are slow as hell but always manage to outrun everyone and charge in 4 rooms ahead just to die immediately. This happens all the time.

Good video, but could probably use an update. Seems the tanks you rated lowest are also the ones that the most mistakes were made, items missed. But like you said, you like movement most of all. Personally, I hate having a Demon Hunter or Monk tank, as they are often too reckless and play tank like they are DPSing. Just old school mindset on my part, I like my tanks to be tanks.

What is this mouse cursor add-on he is using?

As a paladin I honestly don't know what displacement is. Is that like monks green circle that boops mobs?

Interessting. Most rank Warri over all on S.

I appreciate the input in this video and can see how this will help some people, but as a player who religiously plays only tanks and knows how to layer ability to do there little tricks I do not agree with some conclusions you have come to. for example you can heroic leap thunderclap and charge back to your original location in all within 1 second this does 2 AOEs and debuffs and you are back in position in the blink of an eye. so not wanting to be in the location you leaped to is not a problem at all.

Wouldn’t bear tank be able to talent in to sun fire which is a ranged AoE DoT?

This man gave 3 self healing to the warrior and 2 to the paladin lmao

I preferred when paladins frill worked more with mana. Then holy power could have just been for your big defense abilities. That away they could have still used mana and spell power the most and their mana for just normal everyday abilities that other paladins could use. That hurts them and it’s why I hate them removing spell power as their main resource.

Great video! Im trying to decide between DK and DH at the moment... Both are great for different reasons.

I disagree with your warrior ranged AOE rating. With the Titanic Throw, it’s an awesome snap threat ranged AOE threat bomb that hits 5 semi spread targets at range without compromising your positioning. If you play with it in dungeons, you immediately see how useful it is to pull stray packs, surprise pats, etc. I’d give them a 4 out of 5 here.

Thank you so much for this video. Been struggling on prot warrior vs blood dk for an alt. Going to try blood dk.

Giving paladin a 1 in mobility is just wrong. Steed with 2 charges + freedom movement with speed buff is a ton of mobility compared to BDK or bear Druid. Paladin also plays like a range dps class so you rarely feel like you are struggling to get to a mob.

fucking amazing video. thank you

Keep making videos

DH Utility 3? Imprison AOE Stun Interrupt (Talented to 15 Yards is better then most ppl think) AOE Silence AOE Fear Consume Magic Arcane Torrent (Racial, gonna count that since they can only be BE and who plays Ally?) Spectral Sight (COS) Darkness (AOE dmg reduce for entire grp/raid) Cheat death (Last resort) (Chains if talented, not really a viable build in M+ this season) And (like this is not enough for a 5 already) Chaos Brand = +5% Magic dmg on everything (gotta keep them mages happy to get port back after dungeon) If that is not a 5 i dont know whats missing? Depending on the content you do you can even lower CD on Nova, Darkness or Missery

What tank is the best at pulling multiple Enemies towards Themselves and keeping Them focused on Themselves? In my eyes a true tank is selfless being a shield for Their Allies having the Enemies focused on attacking Them and taking on the pain and punishment so Their Allies don't get hurt and I want the tank that best reflects that.

I know this is 2 mo. old, but pallys rely a lot of self healing. Its very strong on themselves.

no single target score?

What the name add on on your mouse circle ⭕

@38:12 "Runs to you"

i dont think DH deserve too low in defensive lol he has a decent amount of armor buff to keep his armor high all the time or almost, when u talk about defensive, u shall count armor and dodge tho

hows this list after tank nerfs

I agree with most scores on other tanks but Paladin displacement isn't 0 but at least a 2..... and self healing a 2? That's blasphemy, with the right talents self healing is a 4 at least. I've done mythic plus telling the healer to ignore me all instance and heal the dps only without any problems.

Honestly the fact you put paladin self healing dead last makes me question the accuracy of the rest of this list. Mobility is very bad on prot pally though.

I don't think the Displacement grade on Paladins is fair. Between AS and Judgement you can easily tag 5-6 mobs and IF any are casters follow that up with Divine Toll and they all are interrupted and come running. Consecrate slows enemies and if any try to run use HOJ. Their displacement is partially dependent on build but a 0 it ain't. I would say a 2 or 3. I felt like he was super anti-Paladin so that may play a part and it didn't seem like he played the class a whole lot so that may also be a factor.

naw paladin is a 5 for selfhealing if any class gets a 5 itd be them. you can glory, LOH and tons of other heals

i feel like you dont know much about the current game state, alot of folks say the complete opposite about druid rofl

DRUID UPRISING!!!1\\\ 100

flash of light and lay of hands wtf u ignore it for LAY OF HANDS

Bears can do moonfire...

Talks about druid self healing, doesn't mention after the wildfire, sad.

I play DK tank from legion. I know DK is kinda slow, but so fun gripping enemies, or straight up immun to knockbacks and slows with DA, I can break stun, fear…. And the lore behind DK is amazing. #ArthasDidNothingWrong

Demon hunter’s Utility is just to high.

would love to play a DK but i just cant handle this ultra slow shit, not again ^^

Since when Charlie Puth playing WOW

"My favorite class is 55555555, trust me I'm not biased". Lol, what a joke

I was so hyped for this video then the first thing you do is rate Warrior mobility a 3/5 😅

I feel like u are talking from a casual player pov, bc many of does ratings does not make sence

Tanks need range aoe are u serious?😅😅

All that prep and still missed basic stuff. Like not realizing that purifying brew literally has a heal component. You really gotta prep for videos dude
