After reading all this WOTLK hype I have a question for anyone who plays a pally tank. I know paladin tanks have been talked about alot in this thread, but mostly in the context of 5 mans/heroics, but how viable are they for raiding now? I had a 70 pally tank that could do all of kara, but this was early TBC back when gruul was challenging and vashj was unkillable and pally tanks were extremely rare and basically laughed at just like boomkin and ret pally. Off hand I remember being the best geared pally tank on my server but considering there were only probably 10 of us that wasn't all that impressive . In that time period, a pally tank dominated 5 mans and things like everyone is talking about, but my char really hit a wall once I hit 25 man content and I was basically just a second rate warrior that was brought along for trash clearing since I could build agro much faster then a warrior. During boss fights I basically AFK'd doing 300 dps or something pitiful, is it basically the same way still? If I rerolled I would want to play a tank again, but I always liked playing the outside the box class which in TBC was the pally tank. If I rerolled a pally tank for wotlk would I have any viability in the raiding game, or would I just be the trash killer and then the guy that stands in the corner and puts on healing gear on boss mobs?
