‘Hey there, I was just wanting to know which is currently the better tank. Warrior, Paladin or Deathknight? I have them all at high levels and was wanting to know which i should level to 90 first in order to start raiding with. Which one of …’

‘So after leveling 4 classes to 90 (Priest, Paladin, Druid, Shaman) solely for healing purposes, I am looking into trying out tanking :) This is where I am with my choices as to which tank I might decide to play, I just need more information…’

‘Hello, I'm having a problem when tanking. Often when I pull a group of melee mobs they come and stack way too close inside my hitbox. This is very annoying seeing as I play a goblin and have a very small toon. This creates a situation where…’

‘Hey Was wondering if anyone knows what the exact mastery cap is (softcap??) for when u have shield block up to actually critical block every incomming attack? I dont know if this is reachable, but it would be nice to reach this, since i don…’

‘If yes, then what classes?’

‘Good evening all. I have a simple question. Let's say I have 12,000 Strength and 2,400 Parry Rating. If I add 100 Strength, how much will my Parry perecntage increase by? If I add 100 Parry Rating, again, how much will my Parry percentage i…’

‘can some advice me litle some good addons for tanking and maiby some good ui.’

‘First of all i'm not a qq guy but paladin tanks are way ahead of the other tanks atm. they are the best on every category. single target dps, aoe dps , group and self healing, survivability and team utility. other tanks can compete with pal…’

‘I'm currently levelling a tank with 2 friends, ones experienced, the other is new, we're at about level 30 and the randoms we get in groups are driving me insane. I don't know why it bothers me so much, but all the twinks running ahead and …’

‘is boring. Let me explain why, just by listing the bosses in ToT, but the same goes for every boss in MoP so far. Jin'rokh - Tank switch to reset Static Wound. Aaaaand thats it. Horridon - Tank switch to reset Triple Puncture, offtank the a…’

‘Is it just me or is tank plate this patch very badly itemised? Tons of dodge everywhere, too little mastery and parry (two stats which tank plate classes want badly in almost all circumstances.). Not to mention the trinkets. It's either dod…’

‘Hello there.Currently i'm encountering pretty huge threat issues comparing to other tanks.My rotation is:hotr,j,cons,hw,shotr.If i am the only tank on trash then such a problem doesnt exist with exception of adds being far away from each ot…’

‘Just wondered what you guys rate Stam vs Stat trinkets. I have the VP Trinket (Expertise/Strength Proc) and Relic of Nizuzuzuzuzu. The heroic Ji-Kun trinket dropped just now, and I was wondering what you guys think about using the VP one wi…’

‘How much parry/dodge should I aim for? I go for survivability, but I don't want to lose to much threat generation’

‘Tanked a little with feral during wrath, and with cata same, very little with warrior. Now I have started a paladin i want to keep going with, first run of rc was ok, second, was every man for themselves, hunter attacked one mob, mage anoth…’

‘I checked around on elitejerks and noxxic, but couldn't really find a defninite answer. Slowly I'm getting to level 90. And while I can see what stats to go for and reforge in general, I have no idea if monk tanks even go for stamina trinke…’

‘Does anyone Warr tank macros for PvE? Thank you ..’

‘Hello guys, I'm having some doubts about the trinkets I should use as prot for 10m raiding. Atm, and as u can see in my armory, I'm using the stamina ones (use = mastery) - Lao-Chin's Liquid Courage ; Jade Warlord Figurine that let me have …’

‘I tried all the tank specs in Mists of pandaria, to see which one i would prefer, and i have to say that it goes in this order : 1/ Brewmaster monks (extremely engaging gameplay) 2/Protection warriors (it still feels very tanky, like a meta…’

‘So I'm making this thread because i like to take my blood off-spec more serious and maybe even change to tanking raids some day. I would like to get some more information about what tanks are best for heroic mode tanking. I see alot of top …’

‘Tanking in Mists of Pandaria has been pleasant due to the increased dungeon diffyculty compared to Cataclysm ( Hour of Twilight Heroics mostly ). But I cannot help myself but let out some steam about Tanks of different sorts, opinions even.…’

‘This may very well be a stupid question, but can a tank (DK in blood spec and presence for example) be critically hit by an attack coming from behind? The tooltip for Blood Presence doesn't say anything besides the reduced critical hit chan…’

‘Hi, firstly if this is in wrong category please move it and i sincerely apologise. So anyway our guild is progressing with Throne Of Thunder and i am having a bit of trouble tanking it. - I start off with horridon and keep it clear first ad…’

‘Some may be supprised i make this topic. Looking at my gear.. i know i do not have all tanking gear. Half of it is probably changed stats. (due to getting dps gear when leveling retribution and raidfinder as dps) I just was in a dungeon wit…’

‘On the endless path towards optimal stats, i have been lurking EJ and other sites alike. I usually stay with Sbar for most fights as its much more flexible, only ever using SB for fights like tortos and such. Because of that i have been tel…’

‘There is so much scrutinisation related to ilvl, I am a fully hc geared tank and being told I can't do any normal mode raids because I am too low ilvl is just ridiculous. I can't see the logic in this, ilvl does not effect your skill level.’

‘Since 5.0.4 i recognize how much yous decreased physical defense of paladins. See, divine protection in wotlk had the best properities, such as decreasing dmg dealt by 50%, that was great, but paladin was too good. now roles changed, and wh…’

‘Should there be an in game tutorial to explain to healers and tanks that they need to glyph. Three times today I've died on a boss (after blowing all my AM cooldowns), only to see that no HoTs ever touched me and the healer doesn't have any…’

‘hello, having played a protection warrior for more than 6 years now, i have seen a lot of things come and go. I have seen the BC era, when you had to struggle at holding one mob at a time and two required strict focus from your group. I hav…’

‘Hello dear tanks! Ive been wondering about why some tanking items gives strength in the socket/gem bonus? If im correct strength back in time gave ... I think it was block too, but now nothing? I checked the Strength stats while in tank spe…’

‘As the topic's name suggests, I'm asking you: How jaded have you become? Here's my story. At the start of an expansion, and even very late into it, I often attempt, attempt so very hard to explain people how they can complete the instance i…’

‘Hey guys, what you think about tot tanking, isnt it little bit boring since almost every boss are lik "2stacks taunt" so far only boss where tanks need to do somthing else than just stand still and check facebook meanwhile peeps killing it …’

‘So, I was doing some heroic farming to cap my VP, and I stumble upon this DK tank in Mogu'shan Palace... I inspect him as usual to gauge how much attention he's gonna require and seems okay. Around 480 ilvl, so I go for HotW so I can DPS as…’

‘Hello everybody, after years passed as a DPS and Healer, I decided to jump in Pandaria as a Protection Paladin. The last time I used to play that spec was in BC ages, a lot of things are changed and I'm here to ask you some questions. My fi…’

‘As a protection warrior, should I aim for: 7.5% hit - 7.5% Expertise, and then mastery, strenght and Stamina? or should I go for 15% expertise and then the other stats?’

‘Hi boys and girls So im in this position where I want to create a tank alt and I just cant decide on what tank class to choice between. I dont really care which tank-class is the best, they all seem pretty balanced in their different ways i…’

‘Greetings! I'm currently leveling a Prot Warrior and reading through a couple of tanking guides I noticed that the typical rotation includes Heroic Strike. According to the guides the reason behind the use of Heroic Strike is the following:…’

‘I went away for two days and when I came back now it seems I generate a lot less aggro. I simply can't tank Mogu'shan Vaults or any other dungeon for that matter without someone else in my team tanking one mob or two. Anyone know why this …’

‘I've never seen this god damn shield drop once! We have cleared MSV, but we have to haul !@# back to the 4th boss in hopes that the shield drops every week. Why is there only one tanking shield in all of 5.1?? The new shields are way into T…’

‘I think warrior has gone up the scale in levels of fun in MoP, altho we still lack proper AoE. I mean in the long run you have nice aoe threat and damage, not the best but ok. The problem is if theres an uneven pack of mobs, you cant pick t…’

‘Hello, With the new ToT raid and myself getting new gear I've noticed a rather large lack of expertise on gear. Even with reforging I'm still finding myself undercapped by quite a large margin. Is anyone else having this issue of a lack of …’

‘Pick Forgotten depths, and do the 3rd boss. And go to the nests with few dps and kill some birds. And take that feather!! ENJOY FLYING TANKIN!! Swappin tank? Oh just flyyyyy!!!’

‘Okay, this will be a complete rant. And it might sound even completely moronic, heck, maybe many readers will think, that I'm a complete idiot. Still, I can't help but feel pissed off. I only started raiding this expansion, and while I had …’
