Protection Paladin: When doing everything a warrior does isn’t enough and you want to feel just a little like an avenger.Often leaving healers wondering what to do with you around until a friendly dps makes sure to take a little too much damage in their adventures of “will it burn” (yes.yes every time. You will cleave into your enemies and heal from the blood you spill. How can you swing that giant sword with a flimsy buckler strapped to your arm like that Blood Death Knight: Healing, you wear plate but don’t believe in a shield, at least not a physical one.Not the strongest at self healing, but who needs heals when you don’t actually ever get hurt!? You don’t believe in magic to make you strong. Protection Warrior: MITIGATING!! Everything that comes at you, you parry it, block it, absorb it or dodge it.This is followed closely by Blood Death Knights, Protection Paladin, Protection Warrior, Vengeance Demon Hunter and lastly Brewmaster Monks.

Taunting a target forces that target to focus you and attack you and only you for several seconds, it will also place you at the top of the targets threat meter. For situations like this or during a swap mechanic, a Tank is also given a Taunt. That being said, it is still possible for a DPS to get threat over a tank. Threat is measured when an ability does damage to a boss. A tanks threat % per point of damage is 100s of times higher than a DPS. Tanks hold the boss or mobs attention through a mechanic called Threat.

Theorycrafting and google searches abound about what tank is the best. Like every role in World of Warcraft, Tanks too are under constant scrutiny and ridicule. In this article I will be going over Tanking. Welcome to part 3, we are near the end of the series but aren’t quite there yet.
