Welcome to Wowhead's WotLK Classic PvE tier list predictions for Phase 2 Ulduar. This guide will rank all Tank specializations in WotLK on the basis of both their personal throughput plus their total raid DPS contribution in the form of raid buffs and enemy debuffs, external cooldowns, and other raid utility.

Disclaimers About This Tier List
Tier lists can be very controversial, as no one wants to see their favorite spec rank poorly and because no two raid teams are optimizing for exactly the same thing when it comes to their class composition. For this reason, it is simply impossible to come up with a truly universal class ranking that is applicable for all raiding environments, so this list is deliberately narrow in scope based on the following criteria:
Classes will be ranked assuming that the group is optimizing primarily for
boss DPS
rather than trash DPS. This is a sharp contrast to our analogous
TBC tier lists
, where AoE and cleave damage was weighted to a much greater degree than single target output when evaluating each spec. The reason for the swap in priorities this time is two-fold:
Unlike many vanilla and TBC raids, boss encounters will constitute the large majority of time spent clearing
奥杜尔
, simply due to the limited quantity of trash packs in the instance and the low health of trash mobs (which were not "tuned up" at all in the way that several bosses were). This means that even competitive speedruns will be looking primarily at boss DPS performance when optimizing their raid compositions to achieve the fastest clear times.
奥杜尔
is the first raid in Classic WoW that features stringent DPS checks that must be met in order to kill several bosses on their hardest difficulty mode. As a result, single target DPS is of central importance even for non-speedrun guilds looking to progress through Hard Modes for the first time.
When scoring the utility of each specialization, extra weight is given for
stackable
sources of raid utility when multiple members of a given class/spec are present in a raid comp. In WotLK, mostly highly impactful raid DPS buffs were made raid-wide (compared to party-wide in TBC) and were given multiple redundant sources, meaning that it is easy to bring the full suite of impactful buffs in pretty much any 25-man comp. As a result, simply bringing a mandatory raid buff no longer elevates a spec to S or A utility like it did in TBC, since several classes not only provide one or more such buffs but
also
provide significant value beyond the first member that is brought. For example, each
德鲁伊
brought to a raid provides an additional
激活
and
, and each
潜行者
brings with them an additional
嫁祸诀窍
, whereas a second Frost
死亡骑士
for example brings far less value to the raid than the first.
These rankings are min-max evaluations under the assumption that players of each spec are executing their rotations perfectly and fully maxing out their character's performance via professions and consumables. Remember to keep in mind that
player always trumps class in any realistic raid environment
, and in practice, your raid team will benefit more from simply recruiting and retaining the top players you can find regardless of the spec they play, rather than hyper-focusing on a single meta comp. In
奥杜尔
, player skill is more important than ever before in Classic, both during progression and for achieving competitive clear times, since a player's real DPS contribution on a fight is disproportionately influenced by their ability to maximize the benefit of encounter-specific buffs like
能量符文
and
温暖的火焰
while still dodging all dangerous boss mechanics.
Tank Tier List Predictions for Phase 2 of WotLK Classic
For this Tier List, here is how we're ranking each tanking spec in Phase 2 of WotLK Classic:
S
: This spec is a top tier choice for either the main tank or off-tank role in
奥杜尔
across the entirety of Phase 2, including both early progression and later farm raids, due to its exceptional survivability and raid utility contribution.
A
: This spec is not universally excellent across the entirety of Phase 2 due to its lower survivability, but is expected to be a competitive choice once the content is on farm.
B
: This spec is perfectly viable for tanking Phase 2 content, but struggles to find a compelling niche in competitive raid environments.
D
: This spec is no longer viable in Phase 2, as it simply cannot survive the incoming damage levels from several Ulduar bosses.

S Tier Specs
Protection
圣骑士
Contrary to what many readers may expect, the reason that Protection
圣骑士
s make the top of this list has nothing at all do with their actual tanking capabilities, which are of course more than adequate but not top-tier on any axis of interest. Cross-class simulation comparisons now show that
圣骑士
tanks are significantly more likely to die when tanking hard hitting bosses than bears are (even after simulating the effects of
), and it is well established that they have worse damage output and Threat generation than Protection
战士
tanks. Nevertheless, it is impossible to give the spec anything less than an S rating simply due to the fact that it brings yet another source of the hugely impactful
cooldown to a raid comp, which is mandatory for progressing through several of the Hard Mode encounters in
奥杜尔
. Since tanks are naturally fairly low impact slots in the roster for raid DPS, packing as much raid utility as possible into those slots is always optimal so that pure DPS raid slots can be efficiently allocated to specs with the highest raw output. For this reason, a Protection
圣骑士
will always be an excellent pick for a tank slot provided that its class utility can be efficiently leveraged for raid value.
Feral
德鲁伊
Feral tanks were initially met with skepticism from the community due to a lot of misinformation about their viability spread by content creators prior to the release of WotLK. However, over the course of Phase 1, Ferals have become highly popular in the top echelon of competitive guilds due to their unmatched performance as off-tanks in
纳克萨玛斯
speedruns, and are featured in nearly all of the top 50 fastest clears on Warcraft Logs. The same features that have made Feral off-tanks so effective in Phase 1 speedruns will continue to be relevant in
奥杜尔
: (a) their sky high effective health pool (EHP), which dwarfs that of the other tanks and allowed bears to comfortably solo soak
仇恨打击
s without risking DPS deaths, and (b) their ability to tank and DPS at near peak effectiveness in the exact same talent build. During early Phase 2 progression, bears can access health pools over 10k larger than the other tanks due to their intrinsically higher Stamina scaling, and are consequently the only tank that can live a synced main hand swing +
量子打击
+
相位冲压
combination from
观察者奥尔加隆
without a cooldown active. The impressive survivability of bears, combined with the lackluster pure DPS performance of Ferals, make it a natural choice to leverage them as off-tanks in order to keep the utility of
+
while freeing up a DPS spot for a higher performing spec.
A Tier Specs
Protection
战士
Similar to Feral off-tanks, Protection
战士
main tanks became very popular at the upper echelons of
纳克萨玛斯
speedrunning in Phase 1 due to the spec's extremely high DPS while tanking, powerful AoE tools like
震荡波
that make certain giga-pulls much easier to execute, and raid DPS contributions via
applications and
碎裂投掷
. In early Phase 2, they are expected to take a back seat to Protection
圣骑士
s for the main tank role due to their weaker defensive capabilities and higher probability of death on the the hardest hitting Ulduar bosses, making them poorly suited for an early progression environment when tanks are relatively undergeared. However, once Phase 2 content is comfortably on farm and Ulduar speedrunning takes off, the same qualities that made Protection
战士
s so effective in Naxxramas should make them a competitive main tank choice once again.
B Tier Specs
Blood
死亡骑士
Blood
死亡骑士
s suffer from lacking a compelling niche to warrant using them over the previously discussed tank specializations. While the spec is perfectly serviceable for any tanking role in Ulduar, it does not bring anywhere near the utility of a
圣骑士
tank due to its lack of a defensive raid cooldown, and its survivability pales in comparison to a bear tank on the scariest bosses of the tier.
死亡骑士
tanks do generate significantly higher single target TPS than Paladins or bears, but do so at the cost of their personal DPS while tanking, whereas Protection
战士
s fill that same niche while also providing enormous amounts of DPS to the raid. A common tanking arrangement in more casual guilds is to use a
死亡骑士
off-tank with a
圣骑士
main tank, but
死亡骑士
s are unfortunately quite miserable at this role in Ulduar, since several of the bosses hit hard enough that the defensive capabilities of the Blood specialization are required to survive them, which in turn makes the
死亡骑士
's personal DPS lackluster for the remainder of the fight when they are no longer actively tanking.
Conversely, the concept of a Frost
死亡骑士
off-tank, which was popular early in Phase 1, is also no longer viable in Ulduar for the same reason. While running a Frost build allows the Death Knight to provide the same benefits of a Feral off-tank, namely the ability to put out respectable DPS when not actively tanking on tank swap or add fights, incoming damage levels on Hard Mode encounters are unfortunately just too high for the concept to work effectively without putting too much strain on healers.

These tank tier lists are a bit like comparing apples and oranges if the apple guy stated he likes apples because they can be green and the orange guy says they are better due to the zest. Neither will elaborate on what that actually means.
Then the next phase comes along and apples being green is no longer mentioned, but they are now considered good for being refreshing. Meanwhile Oranges are still zesty, but not as much emphasis is placed on this and now them being tangy is why they are S tier.
Also the Apple guy says his fruit is better because it contains vitamin C. For no apparent reason Orange guy doesn't even mention vitamin C, despite having more.
