The top raiding guild on green primarily uses it's stacked paladins over warriors to clear the way in NToV for speed, because the slow team can work instantly. Which is especially important during EarthQuake momentum.

I main a Warrior. And while I do love my warrior I have swapped to a guildies Paladin to tank Halls of Testing because at this point in the game / gear level it's faster and more efficient for the slow team not to wait for procs and for the rogues just to lazily go ham obliterating the loot mobs as quickly as possible. And frankly, allowing the raid to freely compete on DPS meters during HoT makes it interesting/fun enough to up participation in a guild where the majority of people already have great gear and you're just grinding HoT to gear-up new recruits.

So no, not pointless.

Didn't they just drastically decrease tash / slow aggro?

Can't imagine knights tanking flurries.

HoT trash? Sure, with 40+ people on a guild night a ranger could tank.

If you're doing min/max hot farm (15 players) you're gonna have a war.


edit: I digress, in the spirit of the OP you can play any class you want and get a seat at the DKP-for-pixels table.

I’ve Pally tanked Flurries before, but yea, with plenty of Cleric support. It’s obviously not ideal but can be done in a pinch
