    I Am going to make a tank soon since I have a DPS and I was wondering what some of you players used to tank. I don't know what class to choose when it comes to taking, but I am still doing research. When it comes to taking is one better than the other? Thank you in advance.

    Paladin is easier, and more "noob-friendly", as he has fewer cooldowns to pay attention to. Warrior requires you to watch out for more cooldowns, and they need more cross-class skills from secondary and tertiary classes, while PLD only really needs stoneskin for some raid encounters, where they can cast it on themselves for some mitigation, when the boss prepares specific skills.

    Oh okay thank you. I was going to do warrior once I finished my DPS summoner. I was wondering which one would be better. I have heard vice versa when it came to the paladin and warriors. Thank you for answering my question.

    I think it depends on the class and the person playing the game.
