So I want a class that can melee DPS mostly and tank if really needed and I'm stuck between druid and dk. And no I'm not abandoning me mage, but I'm not a huge fan of only 1 class to play with. It will bore me too fast.

For some reason neither a pally, a warrior or a shammy can interest me.

DK pro

+ Start at 58
+ Free epic mount
+ All specs can tank and DPS

DP con

- Apparently hard to find a group with



Druid

+ Easy to gather with if I choose to take a gather profession due to instant flying/mounting
+ Battle rez/innervate
+ Apparently dishes out nice dps

- At lvl 18 atm



What would you choose and why.

Don't forget another DK con is that there are like 90823852395293 other DKs who will be rolling against you on gear.

This. Part of the reason i quit mine.

They do great dps but arent so great as tanks. It takes a whole rotation to get enough agro on a group of mobs especially with bad gear, and you only have 1 taunt skill. Death Grip only holds the agro for 8 seconds until the mob returns to the person with highest agro, and if you're taunt is on cooldown, you're stuck because Death Grip has a long CD.

IMO take Druid. You could heal if your group really needs it too, and it should be easier to get geared because of that. Whereas there are 1337 DK's to 1 Druid* and they can be hard to find groups for, because everybody rolled a DK.

*Figures may not be true

Death Grip isn't a taunt. Try Dark Command, it actually taunts. As for aggro, a DK has a higher AoE aggro burst then a paladin, so try again.

DK is the best tank at the moment as far as I know. DK has superior AOE tanking, that's for sure.

I would pick the druid. I really hate DKs

DK is a good bet but theres so many DK allover the place it will be hard to get noticed, get spots in 80 dungeon groups and or find raiding guild

Feral is great too; tho cat DPS very high, its also a touch harder to play than a DK; and the feral isnt as good in battlegrounds or arena. Feral tanks have more threat than DK's do, but DK's win for AOE agro. All a bear has is swipe. One nice thing about a bear is versitility; dont need to worry about defense and can gear for any occasion.

Yeah i know, hence the reason i said it only keeps the mobs attention for 8 seconds, and Dark Command has an 8 second CD.

You were referring to Death grib and its "forces it to attack the player for 3 seconds" thing which has no effect on the aggro table whatsoever. =P
