Tanking with Arms

Recommended Posts

New to Anathema and Vanilla realms in general. I've read that, in a world without dual specialization, Arms Warriors can tank pretty well in Vanilla.

While I'm sure this is true for leveling dungeons, how true is it for places like Molten Core and on through AQ? And is there a best Arms tanking spec that is still good for PVP? I was thinking something like 31/11/9?

Thanks for your help!

Yeah, honestly you don't need to be prot until raids. Hell, I heard of someone from retail vanilla that didn't go Prot until Naxx and still somehow managed to do fine.

 

You'll be less effective than a Prot tank, but still good enough to easily tank 5mans and UBRS and stuff.

Hybrid tanks are kinda shit in vanilla. It's not worth it. You can easily be 3rd or 4th OT as full fury (not arms, because its shit for raids). As 4th-or-so OT you'll mostly be tanking trash from time to time anyways so no need for any prot talents at all.

Pretty much this.
