On Alliance, humans are the overall best race for PVE tanking as a warrior due to Sword Specialization which grants you that sweet +5 weapon skill on swords and maces which is a big boost to your threat generation. This forces you to use certain items which grant bonus weapon skill, and while there are only a handful of those in the game those are usually ill-equipped with other important stats as well as possibly very expensive. However, the disadvantage of Trolls and Tauren is their lack of a weapon skill bonus which is a really important stat. The 5% become really noticeable in the end-game and have saved my life multiple times when tanking as a Tauren. Tauren on the other hand have a high amount of base stamina and when combined with their +5% health racial bonus from Endurance are therefore the kings of survivability. A well played and geared troll warrior is the king of threat generation in all of classic World of Warcraft. The Troll‘s biggest selling point is their high base agility and their Berserking racial ability, which grants you an increase in attack speed and therefore threat generation. This does not mean that an Orc would be a bad main tank either, as long as you wear an axe the +5 weapon skill alone makes this race a very viable option for main tanking as well.Īpart from that, both Troll and Tauren are also good options. If you want to take more of an off-tank role who also deals good damage on encounters that do not require multiple tanks, I recommend to play orc due to their +5 weapon skill for axes from Axe Specialization as well as their strong dps racial Blood Fury (Don‘t use this when actively tanking, as it will reduce all healing on you by 50%!).
Best Races Hordeįor Horde, there are multiple options for different scenarios. A good guild will prioritize valuable items to a tank, so it is your job to pay them back by doing a good job. Therefore, playing a tank in a serious raid requires more effort than any other position.
The tank position is the most influential as well as the most expensive and demanding position in a raid and arguably the hardest one to do right.Ī great tank can make an overall worse raid much better, while a bad tank can really mess up the raid day for an otherwise really strong raiding team.Īs a Tank you are really at the bottleneck position in your raid. However, at the end of this guide there also is an advanced tips section where even the best tank players might find some inspiration. Chances are that if you are an expert level player, you know most of the things this guide includes. This guide is addressed to players at beginner as well as advanced level who want to play a warrior tank in WoW Classic.
We will also include some gearing options with enchants. In this guide we will discuss your optimal character setup, your job in the raid as a tank, possible talents and using the best possible rotation. While it used to be all about being as beefy as possible, with new strategies and more optimized gameplay being the standard in pretty much every raid today, it is now very important even in a more casual raiding environment to generate a lot of threat. However, Warrior tanking has changed much from 2005 to nowadays. The warrior has been and always will be the premier choice for tanking dungeons and especially endgame raid-content in WoW Classic.
