Classic TBC Wrath. Questie Classic Downloads This talent should NOT be relied upon as a consistent source of block for the purpose of maintaining uncrushability against raid bosses. Reckoning : Reckoning has been significantly overhauled, becoming a much more powerful talent for threat generation. Although this talent is great to have for maximizing threat generation from your autoattacks and seals, for raid bosses this talent is very risky to have.

Additional swings against raid bosses due to Reckoning means that the boss has additional chances to parry those attacks, causing the tank be hit by successive autoattacks much more rapidly, which may often result in the tank taking extremely large amounts of damage much faster than healers can keep up.

You cannot have 3 professions in Wow. So the profession section is incorrect by listing 3 professions. Absolutely not. Anyone telling you Paladins are equal to Warrior tanks hasnt ever played Paladin on a boss with regular aggro drops. Paladins are a niche tank in tbc. There are fights designed for them in TBC, but none in Phase 1 25man content.

It depends on the level of content and the fight. Each tank has their own strengths and weaknesses, and that makes them better or worse for certain fights. Druids for instance are great for utility buffs on melee and threat generation, but suffer immensely against high damage fights like Prince.

Warriors are the kings of raid boss tanking, and their main weakness is aoe threat and consistent avoidance values. They have trouble tanking multiple enemies, and they also struggle against rapid attacks with shield block getting eaten up quickly. Prot paladins will excel at undead and demon targets, having very strong ranged burst threat with exorcism, and against targets that have adds or a second tank target that the tank needs to handle, like Moroes.

No its not. They do the least damage with the least mitigation. With a smaller health pool, this makes them more effective at surviving long enough for a heal to top them back up. At lower health levels, Paladin EH is usually lower than a warrior.
