Threat and TAnk Classes

[Mordekhuul]

Paladins are the best tanks for threat limited fights. No one can touch a Paladin if they get threat started first. I routinely can start a fight with Angelique and reach 50k threat before any of the DPS break 20k threat. The only downside is, that while a Paladin can keep a pretty high threat even without being the main target, it they are not the main person being hit, the lose a lot of threat potential from not blocking with Holy Shield. Pretty much, if you're going to have a Paladin tanking, they really do need to be the main tank as their threat suffers without Holy Shield being used effectively.

I'll be curious to find out how true that is anymore when we reach any fights that are more threat sensitive regarding off-tanks (remembering how it used to be with Moroes, when we first learned him).

The only fight in Wrath requiring off-tank threat right now is Patchwerk, and he boosts the threat of off-tanks every time they take a hateful, so I'd imagine any tank can do the off-tanking. I only tried once though, and passed the warrior MT before I knew I was close and ended up main tanking the rest, so I don't have any real experience trying to balance my threat as an OT on patchwerk even.
