Best SB Tank?

[Kethic]

Thank you for the clarification on the pros and cons of the tank classes.

All of these suggestions are very prudent, and I appreciate the caution. Let's assume for a minute that you were going to level a single tank to 60 pre-SB anyway, and that you were unlikely to level another tank to deal with the meta. What would be your personal preference? I won't hold you accountable for any mis-guessing the eventual meta.

I'm biased because I play WAR, but I love that WAR plays like a melee DPS. It's currently a really good tank because it just self-heals for so much but also has CDs for mitigation. Plus WAR has amazing utility, but is losing the debuff from Path in SB.

For me, PLD feels a bit too simple. But that's not a bad thing. For people who want to play something really simple and easy, PLD is a good choice.

I haven't played DRK but I heard it's all about MP management. I'm sure that's fun in its own way.

Going by the video we saw and just by the speculations that are made, I would dust off my pld, loved playing that in 2.x but by the time HW came around somebody decided that it's time to screw up a very enjoyable class prior. I do have also war but I personally don't like the weapon, so it's more of an cosmetic aspect for me. But with the changes made prior I wouldn't play any tank at all, there was no reason to change STR to VIT. But I am not going to rant, to answer your question, if you're not planning on leveling a other tank for a very long time, pick warrior because you can't go wrong with that. And that's all that there is to it.
