Warrio (Tank) a dead class in Wotlk?

#0 - May 19, 2008, 2:52 p.m.

Hey there,pre tbc Tank warriors was one of the most played and desired classes of wow. In Wotlk will there be any need of Tank warriors or will druids/Paladin and Death knight just take over the role as tanker?

considering on playing up a new tank, but if its just gonna keep beeing a broken tanking class i might as well just skip that...

Think this is an issue that includes many players, what do you people think? worth playing up a warrior tank or is that just a dead project?:S

Regards

It would be rather silly to think that the Death Knight will make other classes obsolete, because that is really not the case. The Death Knight will bring its own flavour and style to the game, but at the same time it will be able to share roles with some of the existing classes.

We have seen quite a few posts recently saying that there are too few tanks to go around, posts that claim that it takes forever to find a tank for PUGs or that guild progression is being slowed down due to shortage of tanks. By adding another potential tank to the mix, the Death Knight should most surely be considered a helpful addition to the game instead of a threatening one.

I don't think Warriors will have anything to worry about in WotLK, because they will not be replaced by the Death Knight. Warriors will still be needed in groups and guilds, as they have always been, and they will still be great tanks. This also holds true for Druids and Paladins by the way.
