Most popular tank at endgame

Basically if you leveled all your jobs to 60 they cancel eachother out. I leveled all my jobs to 60 but only tank on PLD.

Still, I rarely see anyone run with a Pld anymore it's usually Drk/War it is definitely doable with Pld/War or Pld/Drk and vice versa I'm just surprised that Pld has taken the back seat in regards to the other tanks via population.

WAR offtank is a must so WAR is the most popular but looking at census there a lot more DRK than everything else. Plus DRK+WAR is the meta due to higher DPS.

The statistics were posted recently and it was DRK>WAR>PLD

From a WHM main's standpoint, PLD is the best. Not the most popular, no but it's the easiest to heal. WARs can keep up if they properly use their buffs because of their sustain. DRK is a pain to heal because their health drops so rapidly compared to the others. I personally have to change my playstyle to accommodate DRKs when there's one in the party.

Umm that makes no sense, an equally geared DRK is hardly any harder than healing a PLD and I do savage raiding with both tanks and the healers tell me theres no difference. The tank stance is the same and the defensive cooldowns are almost mirrored except for a couple. Maybe if you had a geared PLD that sits in tank stance and an undergeared DRK that never uses tank stance that would make sense, but yeah... this is a false assessment from 3.0 that came about from really bad players trying out DRK for the first time.

Bad DRKs. That is all.

Because you're fighting the monotony and simplicity of the class. And that is the hardest, most soul sucking hurdle you'll ever face.

At work..and I lol'd..

the main difficulty that comes with playing WAR isnt from the offensive perspective, but from being able to mitigate damage effectively. I couldnt tell you how many times I've seen WARs go from 100% to 10% or even death in content.

Or Wars requiring constant healing in dungeons, when they have amazing self heal capabilities that would allow healers to just dps after giving them a regen.

1 > 2 > 3, > 1 > 2 > 4, > 1 > 2 > 3 > and weave in whatever comes off gcd in between :P.

So you say that you have to change your way of healing if you find a BAD tank? I agree with that. But when you say its only the DRK then i tell you its your imagination and nothing more.

Considering all I find at endgame like Savage being MIN/MAXers then I can safely say it's anything but Paladin.

DRG they can tank a10s.

I am a PLD at heart, have always been one. When the cap was raised and DRK introduced, I figured I'd give it a go. I have loved it since. I have both DRK and PLD at 60 and after reading many threads am leaning more towards bringing my WAR from 50 to 60. WAR was always my fun job coz it was different from PLD. Tho I find myself doing more things as DRK because I fall into the rut with PLD.
