To all the druids that think they can mt BETTER than warriors on MOST end game raids, I'm here to tell you that you are wrong. Warriors can simply do it better. Now I am not saying I like this idea, I hate it. Being a feral druid and getting the shaft when it comes to main tanking sucks. Maybe I suck at tanking is why I don't get to main tank? No, you don't run heroics in 30 minutes and suck at tanking, I'm sorry (I don't just run heroics, lol). Very glad Blizzard is changing it, but Parrazell (I'm sure a lot of other feral druids new to end game) thinks in TBC he is a better choice than a warrior would be to get through end game raiding. Please bash me if you think I'm wrong or back me up if you think I'm right. Warriors are better at main tanking end game raids than druids are. Thanks for the input if you have any and don't take offense^^.

I've seen more Druid MTs on my server than Paladins, soooooo.... QQ moar.
Note: I realize that there is a logical flaw in assuming that because things happen in a particular way in
my
server that things must happen in the same way on
your
server, thus my statement could be taken as trolling. However, the OP makes the same error in his post, leading us to the conclusion that if I am trolling by citing unsubstantiated statistics (# of Druid MTs > # of Paladin MTs), then he is trolling as well. Additionally, Wrath will presumably create a great deal of parity among tanking classes, making his point, at best, so last season. I would argue that since this is clearly the case, and that he is simply a troll attempting to gain legitimacy this thread should a) be ignored, and b) get locked.

LOL that is funny. Druids suck? I have run so many instances that required dodge and they ruled. Sure I have seen bosses that required block more and then mobs that needed AOE but for those bosses that are just plain get aggro and survive Druids are the best.
AOE: Pallies they rull in that and can even do it almost as good as warriors on just single pull mobs.
Single bosses: Warrior simply warrior.
SO your acusation that druids suck is inconsiderate and no I am no druid I run a pally.

Speculation cat is speculative.
Your post really boils down to this: "My opinion is that Warriors are better end game tanks." Everything else is fluff. You've offered no evidence to one side or another. Your post is "sound and fury, signifying nothing."
Why
are Warriors better end-game tanks?
Why
are Druids weaker tanks? If your only answer to those questions is to nod your head and scream "YES!" in answer to those questions, then head back to your kindergarten class - it's almost nappy time.

Wow...can we just post without getting mad or taking offense? I only made this to make a point of druids arn't as good as tanking as wars in end game raids in tbc. I made this post under the wrong category so sorry if that hurts your feelings. I'm glad you pointed out that I didn't have anything to back up my argument and I have one word that will suffice for my scream of "YES!" crushable. Warriors and Paladins are not crushable whereas Druids are. Is there more to it? Is that not even a good point? I obviously think it is a good point but if not please enlighten me on the subject and prove me wrong. Don't cry troll. All I wanted to do in making this post is to see if the majority think druids are or arn't better tanks for the specific I've said countless times. If you are replying because you think this a QQ post, don't waste your time. I am not crying and no reason to considering I don't play anymore. Xaratherus, where did you get fury out of what I said? lol, thanks for reading and don't take offense^^. *cough tbc, not wotlk*

What exactly was the reason behind this post? You waited until a month before TBC is over to say druids fail? Imo, you fail and are probably just sad that a druid out-tanked you.

Oh yeah..forgot about you, lol. I never said druids suck. Quit twisting around what I say. You are very vague in what you say. What instances? Where did pallies come from? LOL and for the "just plain get aggro and survive druids are best" is that safe to say druids can tank fel reaver far better than warriors? Sure it is possible to tank fel reaver as a feral druid, but I feel sorry for the healers. *crushing blow* *crushing blow* *crushing blow* All in all I appreciate you actually reading what I said and hope you reply soon^^.

First of all..I am a feral druid. So you are right. I am just sad a druid out-tanked me. Thank you almighty insightful Cloud8690. Actually read my post please and you might add some intelligence to this post. Why you ask I post this statement of druids < wars when it comes to end game raids in tbc? I want to see if the all the people that played wow on my server are wrong about warriors being superior than druids when it comes to end game raids in tbc. I want to see if I'm wrong. So if you post just to put your 2 cents in and offer nothing to the subject, don't waste everyone's time. Thanks and don't take offense^^.

The truth is druids are amazing tanks right now in beta; however, with the current itemization and scaling paladins and warriors are much better in the long run due to the insane amount of block they can obtain.
Also, note that druids and death knights are avoidance based tanks, and that Death Knights are undergoing a ton of changes to make them better at it because they currently are not that good.
As it stands right now, druids are amazing up-until Black Temple. They are utterly useless in Sunwell, because a Warrior out tanks them by far.
All the tanks will play part in the game, and I cannot wait.

Not all bosses crush either. Play a warrior tank and go fight Lynx in ZA or Brut in SWP, both hit harder than hell but dont crush. If this doesnt scream druid I don't know what does.
While I do agree feral druids kind of fell into the Ot position it's not like they dont have cat form. And they bring many things to the raid, such as a spare innervate, battle rez, and 5% crit for his/her party. Even if in TBC druids were not meant to tank certain fights you should look at it from say, a priests perspective. A warlock is never *supposed* to tank, but there are fights tailored towards them tanking.
I'm not saying Druids were inferior as tanks, just saying they had their strengths and weaknesses much like warriors and pallies. Come WotLK blizz plans to level out every one so we all at least have 1 spammable ability, 1 OH SNAP button, 1 Bucket o' threat ability with a short CD, 1 way to decrease mob attack speed by 20% and 1 AoE. Granted, each class may have more or different abilities but they all have these somewhere allowing anyone of the 4 classes to tank.
