Best Tank Class in World of Warcraft: Battle for Azeroth, All Specs Ranked

4. Protection Warrior

Best Tank Class in WoW: Battle for Azeroth

Protection Warriors are very mobile tanks that can put up with a high level of physical damage. They provide a high level of utility through great crowd control effects as well as raid buffs. They are able to take a lot of damage through their use of block to mitigate incoming damage. They are built around keeping themselves alive through this mitigation, but they are also easy and predictable to heal.

Overall, Protections Warriors don’t excel in any particular aspect compared to other tank classes. Being a purely mitigation tank, they do not feature self-healing abilities.

Mitigation / Self Sustain Score: 3.5/5
Utility Score: 3.5/5
Survivability Score: 3.5/5
