S: An exceptional choice that we expect will be a fantastic inclusion as one or even two copies in raid compositions.

A: A great choice, tanks in this tier will be very common to see in top raid compositions.

B: A solid spec that can handle all the content, but relative to the above tiers falls slightly behind in damage, survivability, or utility.

C: A spec with weaknesses that make it a noticeably harder choice to use effectively.

D (NO TANKS IN THIS TIER): A spec with serious survivability issues that requires an exceptionally high degree of pilot skill and/or tactical sacrifices to kill bosses.

F (NO TANKS IN THIS TIER): A spec with horrifying weaknesses that is in immediate need of developer attention and we’d be surprised to see played in many raid compositions at all.

Venthyr Protection Paladins deal tremendous amounts of damage that carry the spec into the S Tier. Their set bonuses of Propósito Glorioso & Propósito Glorioso are strong and the inclusion of the covenant legendary is a nice buff to the already powerful Consagração Cinzenta. Solving survivability issues on Protection Paladin can be a challenge, but the spec’s vast toolkit of proactive and reactive options means a skilled pilot can keep themselves alive through even the more lethal moments of most Mythic raid encounters. Double Protection Paladin comps are not out of the question for some encounters, though many of the teams that field this will also have access to alts in order to use other comps when needed.

A Tier Specs for Sepulcher Raid

Blood Death Knight cracks into the A Tier after slowly ramping all expansion! Their damage remains substantially lower than Brewmasters and Paladins, but they bring a huge amount of value to the table in other ways, most notably with Garra da Morte and Garra de Sanguinávido, supplemented by their Necrolord Membro da Abominação in fights where it’s useful. Whether those fights include the last 3 crucial boss fights remains to be seen, but it certainly looks like it’ll be the case that one or even maybe two Blood DKs will be a huge credit to their teams on Anduin Wrynn. Blood can also be extremely durable when piloted well, and can require next to no healing with even substantial incoming damage at this point in the expansion, and can deploy hefty Zona Antimagia that are stronger than the DPS Death Knight specs, as they scale with health and versatility. They can also amplify the damage of Demonology Warlocks in their group by using the Aura Vampírica legendary, which can be a noticeable extra amount of damage for compositions that stack Warlocks.

Brewmasters deal sizable amounts of damage, especially to a single target, and their ability to smooth incoming large physical damage hits into easily manageable Cambalear is extremely valuable. They have a fantastic set of tools for mobility and they provide one of the best ways to access the Toque Místico debuff, something that every raid is looking for. Brewmasters work well in a variety of tanking compositions, and though it’s unlikely that they’ll be stacked, it certainly wouldn’t be a bad option to do so.

B Tier Specs for Sepulcher Raid

Vengeance Demon Hunter is in our B Tier due to slightly lower damage and a utility suite that, while fantastic, doesn’t appear to bring quite as much value to the raid as the Death Knight Grips. The sigils that Vengeance has access to can be incredibly useful, and they are extremely durable against magic damage and against swarms of enemies with their new set bonuses Fome Ardente & Delimitador Voraz, but early testing suggests the most difficult problems for tanks this tier will come in the form of hard hitting physical damage from boss auto-attacks, something that Vengeance has struggled with ever since the nerfs midway through 9.0. Marca do Caos is another incredibly valuable reason to bring a Demon Hunter if you don’t already have one, though Havoc looks likely to be a strong choice that would reduce the need for a Vengeance Demon Hunter.

Guardian is in our B Tier but it’s worth noting that it’s likely to be one of the safest choices for survivability and can become extremely tanky if optimized for that. Unfortunately, the process of maximizing tankiness also reduces Guardian Druid damage to levels that will strain your scroll wheel finger as you search for them on the damage meters. Still, for many guilds, the most important characteristic of a tank player is not that they contribute to damage or bring any specific utility, but that they do not die and wipe the raid, and Guardian is a fantastic choice for those guilds. Guardian can also put out substantial amounts of damage with investment into offensive talents, legendaries, and use of a shapeshifting playstyle, but doing this safely during progression is difficult and usually requires a lot of support from the other tank.

C Tier Specs for Sepulcher Raid

Warrior is the only tank in our C Tier, which means we expect guilds to use Prot Warriors because they have a good Prot Warrior, but we don’t expect them to be sought after as a spec. Even against physical damage, their strength, they can struggle with sustaining themselves, and damage over time or magic damage effects can be downright brutal (unless they’re Reflexão de Feitiçoable, in which case Warriors are phenomenal!). The Protection Warrior tier set (Estouro & Estouro) is also not particularly exciting, though some of the covenant legendaries they’ll have access to are, and they can therefore contribute sizable amounts of burst AoE damage.
