    Favourite Tank Incarnation?

    Mainly for WAR/PLD/DRK since Gunbreaker hasn't changed much this expansion.

    Are you, like me, hot and heavy for some classic 4.1 Warrior? Are you a member of the army of people waxing lyrically over HW DRK? Are you some sort of sick soul who thinks ARR had it best?

    For me,

    4.1 WAR (It's my favourite Tank full stop.)

    4.x PLD (Easy number 2).

    and 4.3+ DRK (Sue me).

    Edit: Figured I'd give a more in-depth rationale;

    4.1 Warrior I think is the best tank the game has seen specifically because of how tight the rotation was with old zerk and IR. Lining up with TA felt like a challenge, you had your specific burst you were trying to land in it every minute, and while it was punishing at times I loved it.

    StB Paladin was kinda ridiculous, and while I think it was overtuned I do think that the sheer grab-bag of tools it had for the time made for a lot of options for handling mitigation. I prefer the older 1.5 GCD casts to the current instant ones as well.

    4.3+ (aka 80s delirium, 30% Dark Mind) DRK was just good because I liked speed sets. Still had haste on Blood Weapon, and it was still viable to reduce your GCD to comedic levels. Sure, it was kinda spammy, but I'd rather be doing something than nothing.
