3. Blood Death Knight
Best Tank Class in WoW: Battle for Azeroth
Blood Death Knights are tanks that rely on self-sustaining heals and some limited mitigation abilities. In Battle for Azeroth they have maintained their position as a sought after tank, partially due to their ability Gorefiend’s Grasp that pulls all enemies within a 15 yard radius towards them. On top of this, they also feature two separate taunt cooldowns. While these are useful, they do not quite stack up against some of the stronger utility abilities across all classes.
Blood Death Knights, much like their DPS specs, have limited mobility lowering their survivability overall. While they feature damage mitigation abilities, these are not nearly as strong as their self-healing and can lead to spikes in health if not integrated properly.
Mitigation / Self Sustain Score: 4/5
Utility Score: 3/5
Survivability Score: 3.5/5
Total Score: 10.5
