tl:dw The video points out even after druids, paladins, and then later death knights and monks became viable tank options, and even after the introduction of dual spec, there was and will always be a shortage of tanks in dungeons. Taunt won't fix the problem.

most funny is that person showing my video of me Tanking BWL vanilla as Protection Paladin.

he got confused when he was talking that warrior is only viable tank and therefore he pointed my pala tanking video because he got wrong there.

Is this even English? Anyway, anyone with a iota of intelligence knows what someone says when they say "viable". Show me a paladin tanking Patchwerk, then I will take what you have to say seriously.

That Maexxna screenshot shows 4 warrior tanks and a dead one next to you. Something tells me that image could be deceptive.

And again nothing you show proves that paladins are capable of performing just as well as warriors.

Please allow people to gather the correct information they seek before your plague of opinion infects others.

Pally are a very capable tank, though current version of deathbone set makes it hard to reach def cap. It is not needed with the tanking role a pally will serve best at. AOE tanking.

Most aoe tanking packs are level 59-61 so the def you do have will be more than enough. They make MC imps, bwl suppression room and goblin packs very and nef adds very easy. AQ 40 frankis adds and gauntlet. Naxx spiders, adds to tank pre decimate, and a few other key fight machanics that 3 warriors would.not be as good as 1 damage reflect aoe pally tank.

With select def items from all raids and help of quel proc, a pally should.be.able to.get def capped or close to it. Many bosses cant be taunted so the.no taunt = no tank is stupid. They are amazing secondary threat tanks because they do not need to take damage to get resources to build threat.

On many bosses you do can taunt, as a warrior mt i dont use taunt anyways. Any fight that could use a swap like goleman for 1 swap, have pally tank first, problem solved.

Bears have high hp low def. Bear is best against bosses that to primary spell.damage or that CC the MT.
