I take a look at how all 6 tank specs are doing on TWW beta and give my thoughts on where each stands in the current meta in both raid and mythic+. I've got a ton more War Within content coming in the future including Raid, Dungeon, and Tank spec guides, so make sure you're subscribed to the channel so you know when those get posted!

    If there was ever a video to watch that explains the current states of tanks and the minor adjustments they need to have a solid start to a season. This is it. very well explained man.
  • @yazan80
    Thanks for the upload. Love the content you keep making. Keep up the good work.
  • @Askfornate
    Thanks Tactyks! We appreciate you brother!
  • @Lehmkuhl.
    Eyeballs all over your channel for all my tank info needs!
  • @joshburt5264
    Thanks for the update. Excited to see another post closer to launch
  • Thank you as always for your tank specific insights. I really hope that the self healing issues are resolved for Paladin. It's been my main since BC and I always default back to it after trying out other tanks.
  • im super excited for brm tbh. the class changes are looking great and the spec looks pretty interesting. loving the harmony hero talents, definitely fits my playstyle for monk. its nice to hear that they are finally going to be a bit more tanky as they should be...
  • @BlinkingTwin
    Thanks for the video man. Really sad to see that Guardian (and feral too tbh) are basically going into yet another expac heavily neglected but it seems par the course at this point
  • I feel like blood dk has one of the smoothest rotations, and consistency. Allot of the other tanks are pretty sloppy imo in their design. You're spamming so many things that just don't feel that effective. Blood everything you hit is doing something really impactful.
  • @axlefire3754
    In my brief testing so far, I'm leaning towards Prot Warrior. They just feel very fun, and as you said "like a brick wall". Always liked the guardian of elune playstyle aesthetically, and mountain thane gives you that in warrior (sort of) but with lightning.
  • @laivasimo8427
    It's funny how all of these tank tier lists are absolutely different 😂
  • @martinkf
    Monks and Bears FTW always!!! btw hair is looking on point, Tactyks boiiiiiii
  • @Joel1031
    Planning to main whatever we need the raid buff/paladin utility for, as I'm only interested in CE tanking. Weekly keys with guildies anything is easy to tank. =)
  • @Mazeingpower
    i love the Guardian druid passiveness it give me the feeling of I just got off work I am tired and i can tank and not have to do calculus :)
  • @thegame4027
    The two raidbuffs line for paladin aged like milk :S
  • @SuperGtimk5
    I am just glad that brew might actually see meta keys for a change
  • @PHX214
    so basically all tanks are viable unless you in echo or liquid pushing for world first. hopefully this gets conveyed to all the players who think everyone MUST play the meta class.
  • @m3xm
    Brewmaster having less button bloat make them instantly better for me. I love stagger management and their mobility so I'll be playing that at launch. Followed by the king Prot Warrior.
  • @amethonys2798
    9:40 Blizzard is usually pretty decent about fixing this tbf. Warlock had mana issues back in Nyalotha due to having 10 billion haste with corruptions so they simply gutted the mana costs of the problem abilities.
