The first thing that comes upon our heads when talking about tanking is the ability to take damage and survive. Outside of your personal traits, there are a couple of factors that matter in terms of tanking in the Classic World of Warcraft. In WoW Classic, however, it is not as easy as it seems, since Threat mechanic is online, but we'll get to that. What is the best tank in Classic WoW? Let's break it down.ĩ out of 10 times in gaming world 'tanking' will mean soaking up incoming damage, focusing the enemies' assault on yourself, while the rest of the squad is killing them. Something with a lower level than yours will survive annoyingly long due to glancing blows mechanic, which is why you form a dungeon or raid group.Īnd this is why you need someone to take a shot for you and focus opponents on himself - a tank.

Something with a much higher level will one-shot you. Quite frankly, in WoW Classic, Blizzard didn't provide easy enemies. Or gold that you've got paid for assisting in a raid party.Įnd game bosses like Ragnaros from Molten Core, Onyxia, Nefarian or Kel'Thuzad are not easy enemies to take down. When you enter a dungeon or raid instance, if you manage to survive and walk out with your shield (sometimes literally), you are stronger thanks to the epic loot, that you've got. In WoW Classic the saying 'What doesn't kill you, makes you stronger' has a very peculiar meaning.
