guide from a dude that has played feral, prot pal, and prot warrior at a decent level for a few expacs. mostly made this for myself and a few others that have been asking and everything in this video are my thoughts and opinion. THESE ARE NOT LAW AND SUBJECT TO CHANGE ON NEW INFO/TESTS/SIMS. feel free to share anything you want in the comments in a civil manner :)

if you want more guides on other classes/specs, then let me know. this video took a LONG time to make bc i have no idea how to edit or condense my information spewing. anyways, i really appreciate you guys watching.

really good tank content creator:    / @subtlefw

    Awesome guide, very concise delivery of information. Hopefully plenty more to come. Thank you for your time!
  • @ak-1271
    What a great guide, man, you went over everything that needs knowing by any BDK.
  • @LS-om3sw
    Christmas wish came true amazing
  • "Generally you don't really want to be playing with heal parsers, I'd recommend staying away from them..." xD
  • @TheMSMcBride
    Death strike always heals and gives blood shield even if you are parried/dodged. And glyphed vamp embrace makes for huge DS heals.

    I’m pretty new to WoW - I played DF shortly after launch for a little bit. Got a Warrior to 70 and quit playing once I realized how much more I needed to do to be able to do anything fun really. I got really turned off by the oversaturation in retail tbh. So I gave classic a try a few months later and enjoyed it a lot more. I started with Warrior and got it to level 50 then took a break cause I no lifed it and kinda burnt myself out but I’m back. I just started a DK a couple night ago and just hit level 61 and really enjoying it so far. Love your guide even though it’s catered towards max and high level content. Would you mind if I added you in game? I feel like your knowledge and experience are an immeasurable resource and would really help me tons along the way. I won’t get offended if not but you never know if you never ask. Great video btw!

    Worgen for ally isnt a bad idea imo as it opens up for masterystacking with jc/BS while you still have access to a movespeed ability in the racial. Makes dropping engi hurt less. Only reason i had engi was for rocketboots anyways
  • @Matt-if9bt
    Good vid thanks for helpin me main tank my first cata raid for my guild
  • @geekygreek7
    Awesome job on this. I'm conflicted on focusing anything regarding hit/exp since I feel like MIT is huge for the prog push and after a few seconds of the fight I wont even care about threat. What are your thoughts on that?
  • @koltin2047
    this almost made me want to play bdk, but i will continue to play rogue instead!
  • @projectundrfire
    Only thing I would say is get spell hit capped so not to miss outbreaks. Priority there. Other than that awesome guide.
  • @BiggyBoot
    Any thoughts on the on-use armor tinker for gloves and how it compares to the synapse springs?
  • @joewoe1977
    Any recommendations for 1st purchase with Valor points?
