Choosing a tank class..

[bounddreamer]

I'm a warrior main so I'm completely biased, I think Warrior is the Swiss army knife of tanks, good at just about everything you need us to do in the hands of a skilled player. Need us to off tank? We can totally shine as OT and have tons of utility. Need us to main tank? We can hold the line there. Need a high dps opener? We can open the fight then swap with the MT.

At lower levels it's easier for DRK and WAR to hold hate, and PLD doesn't get shield oath until 40, so keep that in mind. Unless you're already a skilled tank, holding aggro as a gladiator can be very unfun.

PLD has a lot of solid mitigation, it's very reliable, and easy to play (though more difficult to really make it shine).

DRK also has great raid utility and holding hate is a total joke. Unleash and dark arts power slash (single target, bosses) and abyssal drain make the mobs yours forever.

For me, WAR is favorite job overall but I enjoy running roulettes with big packs on DRK.

And I would also like to testify that Fell Cleavus is real. The sheer satisfaction of a triple Fell Cleave hitting for 15K per cleave is indescribable.
