Why's it always the pally or warrior spamming "LF1M TANK FOR X" for an hour straight in chat before their group falls apart. Sack up and do it yourself or go back to live

well tank as a paladin with a warlock in party who refuses to wait some seconds.


paladins in PvE must buff and throw out supportive heals. end.

why are you implying because a plate class is lf1m tank, they need to "sack up" as if they were every complaining in the first place?

Wow, you don't realise how much better at dungeon tanking paladins are over warriors because of their AoE threat and buffing. Raids? Sure, Warriors will always be the best.

Paladins weren't viable tanks in vanilla. Obviously if you played vanilla you would know that. That's basic knowledge... even Horde players know that.

i see your point.

it works in stratholme. but in stuff like LBRS u will have major issues. not to mention UBRS.
the taunt is simply missing. and BoP has 3 mins cooldown (implying u specced it).

i tested it on feenix with full rank 10 gear. + some Aq20/40 + BWL items (rings/trineks/cape )

stratholme UD = ok.
stratholme living = horror once u face the scarlets
diremaul = so so some parts are easy some are absolutly horrid to tank
LBRS = absolute horror
UBRs = i found not a party who even let me tank it
BRD = ok but that's more because of the extreme outgearing


you simply don't build up enough thread.

Blizzard did not design Paladins and Shamans for tanking in vanilla. These classes cannot hold threat and for this reason tanking is exclusive to Warriors. There is the very rare exception when more Warlocks are used on the Twin Emperors.
