    [Blood tanks] Posted Nov 27, 2008 16 Comments

    I do not get it everyone wants a Frost death knight tank, or a undead aoe dps or a blood dps but no one wants a Blood tank. Let me tell you about my toons I have a Sub rogue in a mix of T4 and badge gear I have a Boomkin Druid in all badge gear that I have took to T6 raids and was at the top of the damage meter. Now that Wotlk came out i have been playing my Death knight at a fair rate between work and school and i speced her blood which is not that uncommon, but people have pointed out to me is uncommon is that i have my toon in tank gear instead of DPS giving me 13k health and 15k armor unbuffed. It is not that people point it out that bothers me it is that i can not get into insta groups as a tank. and it is not like I'm Un-experienced completely i tanked on my druid for a while till i decided i would rather have a Boomkin since they are fun. People have told me that Blood is not a tanking spec and kicked me from group more than once. the thing is i say neather is frost in that case...

    DKs make a reasonable tank no matter what your spec but most DK tanks I know are frost and use 2 x 1hd weapon, I think thats to do with the threat limitation on using a 2hder its slow spiking threat not a stream or threat, Im at level 79 with my DK and I got 20.6k HP and about 16k armor unbuffed Im blood/unholy about 34 points in both trees, good dps,good self heals and good threat I can tank most mobs with easy in frost stance, maybe the people on the server your are a fickle lol.
