Quote:I absolutely 100% agree, Quark - I know a lot of folks are obsessed with Druid/DK tanks atm, but I personally love the warrior toolkit and think theyre just as viable as any other tank atm.I think it's the EH difference. I'm far and away the top geared tank we have, and our feral easily has 11k more hp than I do because he can wear Polar gear stuffed with 24 stam gems while sitting near the armor cap and doesn't have to worry about defense. Even in that absurd scenario, which I figured would make him a mana-sponge, my wife says he's slightly easier to heal than I am due to the enormous hits (or, they used to be, given how fast nerfs are coming I'm not certain any of this is relevant), having that much more margin of error on EH is just really difficult to overcome with 'tools' on learning encounters. Specifically since their version of block doesn't completely suck, and swipe is really egregious right this second.:P
Why the hate!?

All that being said, I still feel useful on my warrior as I can do things that no other tank can, just a little bewildered sometimes.
