[0:00] I think most people play World of
[0:01] Warcraft the same way I do now. You log
[0:04] in when you can. You try to get your
[0:05] stuff done, pug a mythic plus key or
[0:07] two, and just try to have fun without it
[0:09] being such a headache. I've realized as
[0:12] I'm getting older, I don't have the time
[0:14] or the patience to build the perfect
[0:15] group comp, sit in Discord, and play the
[0:17] game like it's a job anymore. So, in
[0:19] today's video, I'm going to show you the
[0:21] best midnight specs you could main for
[0:24] solo players and people who mostly pug.
[0:27] And no, I'm not talking about what's S
[0:29] tier on a spreadsheet. I'm talking about
[0:31] the specs that feel good, can carry
[0:34] during chaos moments if need be, and let
[0:36] you make real progress even when you're
[0:38] playing alone in Delves and Prey. Okay,
[0:41] I want to show you guys what I've been
[0:42] playing before Midnight officially
[0:44] releases. It's called Lort, and it's a
[0:46] brand new 1 to eight player co-op action
[0:48] rogike that just launched on Steam, and
[0:50] it's honestly one of the most chaotic
[0:52] and hilarious games I've played in a
[0:54] minute. You and your friends, you drop
[0:55] into this cursed fantasy world, and you
[0:57] start stacking up to 90 absurd powerups,
[1:00] and you go from a ridiculous, goofy
[1:02] character that is barely doing anything
[1:04] into just a full-on god at the end if
[1:07] you power up properly. You swap your
[1:09] weapons, and it's all about stacking
[1:10] these together to create some crazy
[1:12] combos. You're choosing between melee,
[1:14] range, magic builds, and then of course
[1:16] your mid-run class upgrades. Every run
[1:19] feels brand new and different, and it's
[1:21] just pure chaos. So, you're reviving
[1:22] your friends. You're blowing up the
[1:24] tutor to rally that squad and just
[1:26] trying to survive long enough to break
[1:28] the game. So, if you want to give this
[1:29] game a try, try out Lort now. It's on
[1:31] Steam and it's under $10 right now for
[1:34] launch thanks to the discount currently
[1:35] active. That's only live for just a
[1:37] couple weeks now. So, click the link
[1:38] below or even wishlist the game to
[1:40] remind you whenever it's on sale. And
[1:41] check it out, man. I promise you will
[1:43] not be disappointed. Thanks again for
[1:44] Lor for sponsoring today's video. Now,
[1:47] let's get back to the content. Starting
[1:48] off first, Havoc Demon Hunter is easily
[1:51] one of the safest specs you can play if
[1:52] you're solo or looking for pickup
[1:54] groups. Havoc is one of the few DPS
[1:56] specs in the game that genuinely feels
[1:58] like it can just take care of itself.
[2:01] You have some of the best mobility in
[2:03] the game, really strong defensive
[2:05] toolkit with all them being updated this
[2:07] expansion, and more than enough sustain
[2:09] to survive messy situations that would
[2:11] most likely delete other DPS specs. So
[2:14] whether you're doing openw world
[2:15] content, pushing delves, or even the
[2:18] brand new prey system where you're on
[2:19] your own, Havoc Demon Hunter, you're
[2:22] always just feeling solid. The spec is
[2:24] built to stay alive and keep moving. I
[2:27] would say in particular, when you do
[2:28] join pickup groups with Havoc, though,
[2:30] they're one of the best specs for simply
[2:32] just how low dependent they are on your
[2:34] team and setups. You don't need the tank
[2:37] to pull a nuclear amount of mobs. You
[2:39] don't need to line up everything with a
[2:41] one or two minute cool down. don't need
[2:43] a ton of group coordination. Even when
[2:45] things feel super or unorganized with
[2:47] Havoc, you dash around, you pop some
[2:49] coolowns, deal your super consistent
[2:51] high DPS while healing yourself with all
[2:53] your natural leech, and you're good to
[2:55] go. One of the most slept on things I
[2:57] would say in pug groups, ladies and
[2:58] gentlemen, is needing to have consistent
[3:01] damage, not just high sims are trying to
[3:04] peak and hit like 5 million DPS. That's
[3:07] why specs like fire mage, frost death
[3:10] knight, and the old subtlety rogue, they
[3:12] really struggle in pickup groups because
[3:15] it's too hard to predict what the pole
[3:18] is going to look like. And if you
[3:19] misplay, you're going to suffer. That's
[3:22] why specs like Havoc Demon Hunter,
[3:24] Retribution Paladin, Outlaw Rogue,
[3:26] they're great for just super high
[3:28] consistent DPS that can keep the
[3:31] pressure up no matter what. Not only
[3:33] that, the rotation for Havoc is easy
[3:34] enough to where even if you do mess up,
[3:37] it doesn't feel like your entire damage
[3:38] kit just collapses. It's a very smooth
[3:41] flow spec and you can recover very
[3:43] easily. I'd say if you're trying to play
[3:45] on your own, you plug in, you know, some
[3:47] mythic plus keys every once in a while,
[3:48] your delves, your prey system. Havoc is
[3:50] easily one of the cleanest choices you
[3:51] can make. Very, very self-sufficient,
[3:54] straightforward class to main. Moving
[3:56] on, next we have the brand new reworked
[3:58] unholy death knight. And this can
[4:00] absolutely be a solid option for anybody
[4:02] out there looking for something new.
[4:04] Unholy is one of those specs that
[4:05] naturally checks that self-sufficiency
[4:08] box because you're by far the tankiest
[4:10] class in all of World of Warcraft. You
[4:12] have great durability compared to
[4:13] everyone else, built-in sustain, you
[4:15] know, you got your multiple defensives.
[4:17] So, if you love doing your world quest,
[4:19] you know, pushing delves, try out the
[4:20] new prey system, or just doing solo
[4:22] stuff in general where, you know, you
[4:23] don't have your healer babysitting you,
[4:25] Unholy is a solid option. Now, of
[4:27] course, what I'm about to say is a plus,
[4:29] but it is important to know it's not as
[4:30] strong as some of the other classes in
[4:32] this video, but of course with Unholy,
[4:34] you do have your pets. You have a ton of
[4:36] comfortability with that as well. Uh,
[4:38] through your rotation now, as unholy,
[4:40] you summon all your pets and you deal
[4:42] like 90% of your damage being entirely
[4:44] ranged. So, previously, unholy death
[4:46] knight was incredibly dependent on, you
[4:48] know, very large poles, a lot of like
[4:51] five, six, seven global cooldowns of
[4:53] proper setup. You got to apply your
[4:54] festering wounds, spread your diseases,
[4:56] get your death and decay down, and then
[4:58] you could start ramping. It was awful.
[5:00] Not anymore, though. At this point,
[5:02] unholy is a couple buttons to get up and
[5:04] rolling. You're absolutely blasting, and
[5:07] you're not a spec that needs to have
[5:08] everything line up anymore. You simply
[5:10] roll into a pack, spread your diseases,
[5:12] get your army going, and then you're off
[5:14] to the races. Now, Unholy Death Knight
[5:16] doesn't have the most utility in the
[5:18] game. I'm not going to lie. But they
[5:20] have a couple things that can really
[5:21] save a group. You have multiple grips to
[5:23] grip in those caster mobs. You have good
[5:25] AoE disruption. You have your powerful
[5:27] AMZ which can really save your group
[5:29] depending on the big heal checks on
[5:31] certain bosses. So, you have enough to
[5:33] where people would want you, but most
[5:35] importantly, your damage profile is just
[5:36] some of the best in the game right now.
[5:38] And you can pretty much carry any group
[5:40] if you know how to DPS well. Midnight is
[5:42] going to be your expansion where you're
[5:43] grinding solo, pugging keys, uh you
[5:45] know, whenever you can. You want
[5:46] something that feels durable,
[5:47] consistent, powerful with a brand new
[5:48] rework. I think Unholy is the best uh
[5:51] spec for you. Moving on next, we have an
[5:53] absolute layup here. This is the Beast
[5:55] Mastery Hunter. Now, listen, if you're a
[5:56] solo player or you live in pickup
[5:58] groups, this might genuinely be the most
[6:01] simple and comfortable spec you can play
[6:03] in the game. Beast Mastery is all about
[6:06] self-sufficiency because you're never
[6:08] alone. You have your pet that is tanking
[6:10] for you at an unprecedented rate. It
[6:12] holds all the aggro, takes all the
[6:14] pressure off of you, and deals tons of
[6:16] damage. So, if you're doing openw world
[6:18] quest, farming, pushing delves, or doing
[6:20] prey, BM Hunter is probably the easiest
[6:23] spec in all of World of Warcraft for
[6:25] this. What makes this spec so good at
[6:27] solo content is that you're one of the
[6:28] few specs in the game where you can walk
[6:30] into something really undergeeared
[6:33] more than you should and still be okay
[6:36] because you've got tools for anything
[6:37] the game can throw at you. Not only
[6:39] that, they're very low dependent on team
[6:41] setup and comp. You don't need some
[6:42] perfect group synergy or great
[6:44] coordination. You show up, you press
[6:46] your beastial wrath every 30 seconds,
[6:48] you spam your AoE, you know, kill
[6:50] commands by pushing your wild thrash and
[6:52] uh yeah, you're pretty much good to go.
[6:54] That is almost the entirety of the
[6:55] rotation. And it's quite fun, honestly.
[6:57] Once again, I think it's very important
[6:59] to look at consistent and median based
[7:02] damage rather than, you know, who's
[7:04] sending the highest burst damage with
[7:05] their cooldowns up. Because the truth of
[7:07] the matter is, ladies and gentlemen,
[7:08] nothing ever goes right when you're in
[7:10] pugs or group content. And you need to
[7:12] be able to do your full DPS rotation
[7:15] consistently while being in panic mode.
[7:18] And Beast Mastery Hunter is all about
[7:19] that. You can do all your damage on the
[7:21] move while dodging mechanics and
[7:23] avoiding all the crap. And I will say I
[7:25] think Hunter doesn't bring a lot of
[7:26] utility of course, but they still bring
[7:28] blood lust. They have a couple of items
[7:30] of control. Just know that you're
[7:32] growing into groups to deal damage,
[7:33] avoid mechanics, and not die, and go
[7:35] about your day. Beast Mastery Hunter is
[7:37] a very easy, chill, you log in, progress
[7:40] your character, log out spec. Moving on,
[7:42] next, we have the Retribution Paladin.
[7:44] And this is one of the most main
[7:46] character specs you can play if you're a
[7:48] solo player or you spend most your time
[7:50] in pugs. Now, what I personally love
[7:52] about retribution is that it's not all
[7:54] about dealing damage. It's about being
[7:56] the guy in the group that can look at a
[7:58] completely doomed pole set to just wipe
[8:01] everybody and then you take over and
[8:03] make sure your group doesn't wipe. It's
[8:05] one of the specs in the game that you
[8:07] have just so many panic buttons, not
[8:09] only for yourself, but you have panic
[8:11] buttons for your teammates. And on top
[8:13] of it all, you're still blasting every
[8:15] 30 seconds with your wake of ashes burst
[8:17] damage windows. Remember, ladies and
[8:18] gentlemen, pickup groups don't fail in
[8:20] Mythic Plus because your DPS was 2%
[8:23] lower than the meta. They fail because
[8:25] somebody either dies at the wrong time,
[8:27] the tank will pull too many, or your
[8:28] healer falls behind and doesn't call
[8:30] that they're out of mana. Retribution
[8:32] Paladin is one of the very few specs in
[8:34] the game that can literally prevent any
[8:36] spiral in content from happening. You
[8:39] have blessing of sacrifice you could put
[8:40] on the tank. Blessing of protection you
[8:42] could put on the healer. Ginormous off
[8:44] heals with word of glory. You have a
[8:45] full health heal with lay on hands. You
[8:47] got your bubble to make yourself immune.
[8:50] I mean you name it. The retribution
[8:52] paladin has an answer for it. Now when
[8:54] it comes to pure solo content, Rhett is
[8:57] also really comfortable for that as
[8:58] well. It's tanky and durable. Built-in
[9:00] healing of course the great defensive
[9:02] toolkit. You can handle bosses and
[9:04] elites no problem. It's one of those
[9:06] specs where you can just run in, press
[9:07] wake of ashes, pop all your cooldowns,
[9:09] and everything's going to be dying very
[9:11] quickly. Retribution is just that rare
[9:13] combo of very high consistent damage and
[9:15] clutch utility. It is a oneofone in my
[9:18] opinion when it comes to DPS. Easy to
[9:20] execute, very smooth rotation, and I
[9:23] love that even when you're not playing
[9:24] perfect on Rhett, you're at least doing
[9:26] something useful if you focus on your
[9:29] utility in group support. You don't have
[9:31] to be a god tier player, but if you have
[9:34] a high shielding, you can do some
[9:35] ridiculous stuff on this spec.
[9:37] Absolutely love retribution for solo
[9:39] play. They are a pug carry. Next up, if
[9:42] you're looking for a caster, we got to
[9:43] talk about frost mage. Now, I know a lot
[9:45] of people are going to hear this and
[9:46] think, "Oh my god, mage, I thought they
[9:48] were hard to play. I thought they were,
[9:50] you know, nothing but glass cannon sky.
[9:51] What are you talking about?" But
[9:53] throughout history, yes, that may be
[9:54] true. Heading into Midnight though,
[9:56] Frost Mage is easily one of the best
[9:57] solo and pug specs in the game because
[10:00] it has the most control in the game.
[10:03] Now, some of you may think control is
[10:05] not a big deal, but let me tell you
[10:06] something. If you run a delve on a frost
[10:08] mage, you can run them super
[10:10] undergeeared simply because no mobs can
[10:12] never actually touch you. You're kiting
[10:15] them constantly. You have permanent
[10:17] slows up to like 60 to 70% on everybody
[10:20] and you're just destroying them all in
[10:21] an AoE fashion. It's actually quite
[10:23] hilarious. And honestly, I think it
[10:25] needs to get nerfed. If you want my
[10:27] honest opinion, I was doing tier 11
[10:29] delves in the War Within on my Frost
[10:30] Mage, which such horrible gear and
[10:33] dominating them because no mob literally
[10:37] could not touch me. It was hilarious.
[10:39] Now, now, not only that though, it
[10:41] translates very well into mythic plus. I
[10:43] would say the real problem isn't
[10:45] necessarily the fact that damage is not
[10:47] high enough in pickup groups. It's
[10:48] really the little tangible things aren't
[10:50] being done properly. The everyday things
[10:52] that you should be doing. It's it's what
[10:54] no one is doing. No kicks are going out.
[10:56] Defensives aren't being used properly.
[10:58] Mobs aren't being crowdcontrolled on
[10:59] cooldown. Frost mage is great for this
[11:02] sort of thing. Not only that, when it
[11:03] comes to a damage profile, frost mage is
[11:06] nuclear right now. Their damage is out
[11:08] of control for a mythic plus
[11:10] environment. It's still good enough to
[11:11] compete for single target as well. So,
[11:13] it's really, really straightforward,
[11:15] fluid, and fun. I love that this spec is
[11:17] forgiving. It doesn't require a lot of
[11:19] like mastering of the spec to know
[11:21] what's going on. Very consistent. I love
[11:23] the control. I love the utility you
[11:25] bring with your arcane intellect. You
[11:27] know, time warp and blood lust effect
[11:29] sort of deal. And I think frost mage is
[11:31] one of the best DPS specs you can main
[11:33] in general heading into midnight. Now,
[11:36] next up, another caster that's set to
[11:37] dominate. We got to talk about the
[11:39] demonology warlock. Now, I mained
[11:41] Warlock in season two of the War Within.
[11:42] I'm going to be honest. Demonology felt
[11:44] like I was cheating anytime I had to do
[11:46] solo content like tier 11 delves. You
[11:49] literally just show up to the delve with
[11:51] an army of demons and your fell guard,
[11:53] he is so tanky, it makes things in my
[11:56] opinion just trivial. Now on the
[11:58] midnight beta, demonology right now is
[12:00] one of the strongest singlet target DPS
[12:02] specs in the game. Not only that, their
[12:05] whole kit and design pretty much
[12:07] destroys delves in general. So, when it
[12:09] comes to the brand new prey system and
[12:11] delves, they're going to be one of the
[12:12] best options in the game, bar none. But
[12:15] because your AoE DPS is still high while
[12:17] your single target is one of the best,
[12:19] it makes them great for raids and mythic
[12:21] plus. Not only that, the spec is very
[12:24] straightforward compared to what it used
[12:25] to be, man. And I think a lot of people,
[12:27] you know, you may think, oh, just cuz
[12:28] it's a Warlock spec, it's going to be
[12:29] difficult, but in reality, it's actually
[12:31] very straightforward and very clean now.
[12:33] I love personally for demonology
[12:35] warlock, you can lock down casters like
[12:37] pretty much entirely alone because you
[12:39] have multiple kicks now with your fell
[12:41] guard, you know, toss, your axe toss,
[12:42] and then your grimoire fell ravager
[12:44] talent now, which gives you an extra
[12:46] kick. You also have shadow fury, your
[12:48] AOE stun. You bring your hellstones, you
[12:50] bring your battle resurrection with your
[12:51] soul stone. I mean, I think demonology
[12:54] is one hell of a spec right now. So you
[12:55] combine the fact that they have elite
[12:57] single target damage, failgard tanking
[12:59] for solo content, straightforward
[13:00] rotation that's smooth, heavy crowd
[13:02] control for mythic plus, they just
[13:03] become one of the most solid solo and
[13:06] pug player specs in the game, bar none,
[13:08] and I think they're a no-brainer if you
[13:10] like warlock. Moving on to our final DPS
[13:12] spec, we have probably the biggest
[13:14] surprise, and believe it or not, we got
[13:15] to talk about the fury warrior. Now, I
[13:17] know, I know what you're thinking. A
[13:18] warrior making the solo content list,
[13:21] Sky, what the hell are you talking
[13:22] about? Are you taking those crazy pills?
[13:24] Well, I might be because Fury Warriors
[13:26] talent tree just got overhauled. But
[13:28] with that, it gave them so many more
[13:30] defensive capabilities above your
[13:32] average melee DPS that their self-
[13:34] sustain is out of control. They kept
[13:37] enrage regeneration as a defensive.
[13:39] There's a ton of talents that amplify
[13:41] bloodthirst self-healing, so it heals
[13:43] you for a good amount anytime you use
[13:44] it. Now, rally and cry got buffed when
[13:47] you're not in a raid. You have impending
[13:48] victory on a mob whenever you kill it,
[13:50] which is a 20% heal. You have natural 6%
[13:53] leech on all your attacks. And then to
[13:55] cap it all off, you have the brand new
[13:56] talent, kill or be killed, where when
[13:58] you would sustain fatal damage, you
[14:00] instead fly into an unstoppable rage
[14:03] where if you kill the guy, you don't
[14:04] actually die. Think of it like a trying
[14:06] to ultimate in League of Legends. It's
[14:08] absolutely ridiculous. So, if there's
[14:11] solo potential in difficult content such
[14:13] as tier 11 delves and the new prey
[14:15] system is very good, I think it'll
[14:17] translate well in mythic plus and solo
[14:19] content such as that. Now, what I
[14:21] personally love about Fury Warrior,
[14:23] probably more than any other spec in the
[14:25] game, is that you're not sitting around
[14:27] hoping for some cooldowns to come up to
[14:29] deal your damage. You literally charge
[14:31] into the pole and you are ready to throw
[14:34] hands. Fury is amazing for pickup groups
[14:36] because you have incredible self-
[14:38] sustain, crazy ondemand damage whenever
[14:41] you need it, good crowd control, one of
[14:42] the best apex designs in the game. You
[14:44] got storm bolt, shockwave, you got your
[14:46] low cooldown kick, and whenever you do
[14:48] have your cooldowns going, you deal some
[14:50] of the highest burst damage in the game.
[14:51] So, I think fury warrior is one of the
[14:53] best specs in Midnight in general. But,
[14:55] I'm going to be honest, I was so
[14:56] surprised by how great they are in solo
[14:59] content. It is it is really, really just
[15:01] a cherry on top for me. Not only that,
[15:03] you have good utility now, I would
[15:05] think, with your attack power buff
[15:06] getting buffed up to 8%. Rallying Cry
[15:09] being substantially stronger outside of
[15:10] raiding environments. And I think
[15:12] overall, Fury Warrior is doing really
[15:14] solid. Moving on to our first healer, we
[15:16] got the Restoration Shaman. Now, listen,
[15:18] I'm just going to say it straight up. If
[15:19] you're a pug healer and you're someone
[15:20] who likes to play solo and just get into
[15:23] LFG, this is one of the safest and most
[15:25] carry capable specs right now in
[15:27] Midnight. Now, restoration shamans, they
[15:29] not only heal at a pretty high level if
[15:31] you know what you're doing, it
[15:32] stabilizes chaos very well. As we all
[15:36] know in pickup groups more than
[15:37] anything, things just tend to go wrong
[15:40] more often than not. Pugs don't wipe
[15:42] once again because healing numbers are a
[15:44] bit too low or the damage is slightly
[15:46] off. Pugs wipe because everything will
[15:48] just go wrong at the same time. People
[15:50] stand and stuff. Casts don't get kicked.
[15:52] The tanks will overpull. Defenses don't
[15:54] get pressed. Restoration Shaman feels
[15:56] like they're built for moments like
[15:58] that. Your Apex Talent, Storm String
[16:00] Totem, pretty much will just full heal
[16:02] the entire group whenever you activate
[16:04] it. So, it's one of the most impactful
[16:06] Apex talents in the game. You have great
[16:08] control with Capacitor totem every
[16:10] single pole. And then you're now the
[16:11] only healer in the game left with a
[16:14] kick. Earth Shield and Riptide do a ton
[16:16] of healing for your tank and you don't
[16:17] even need to micromanage him. all packed
[16:19] up in a very, very simple,
[16:21] straightforward rotation where your
[16:22] buttons feel very impactful whenever you
[16:25] press them. Literally, one of the
[16:27] biggest reasons I even made this video
[16:29] is the fact that Shaman in general just
[16:31] feels like they are pug superstars, man.
[16:34] And I'm looking for an excuse to talk
[16:36] about it. Shaman is so comfortable. You
[16:37] don't need perfect coordination to make
[16:39] your group strong and your kit play out.
[16:41] You don't need proper group play to be
[16:43] built around you or good comms and
[16:45] communication and discord. You walk into
[16:47] any pug, you bring your insane value
[16:49] with your group buff, you got your blood
[16:51] lust, and you're just doing very well.
[16:52] So, if I'm being completely honest, if
[16:53] you're heading into midnight where
[16:54] you're dedicated on playing solo or just
[16:57] healing pugs, I think restoration shaman
[17:00] probably is one of the best picks in the
[17:01] entire game. Next up for healers, I got
[17:03] to bring up the restoration druid. Now,
[17:05] listen, I'm going to keep this short and
[17:06] sweet. I think Restoration Druid is
[17:08] probably the most consistent and just
[17:10] overall high healing per second healer
[17:12] in the game at the moment. And in
[17:14] particular, what I personally really
[17:15] enjoy about restoration is that you can
[17:17] heal very high while doing everything
[17:20] else you need to simultaneously. So you
[17:23] pretty much you put your rejuvenations,
[17:24] you pop wild growth on everybody, and
[17:26] then you throw your lifeling
[17:30] on movement, mechanics, positioning,
[17:32] maybe some extra damage, popping in and
[17:34] out of, you know, either cat or moonkin
[17:36] form, and you're good to go. Not only
[17:37] that, when it comes to personal
[17:39] survivability, I mean, they're so
[17:41] durable and mobile. It really feels like
[17:42] druid can survive most situations. Some
[17:45] other healers cannot. I think what's
[17:47] also really valuable is their grouping
[17:49] potential. You got Ursil's Vortex for
[17:51] the AoE crowd control. They have the
[17:53] best group buff in the game with Mark of
[17:54] the Wild. They have a battle
[17:56] resurrection. You got stampeding roar.
[17:58] So basically, you could just plug them
[18:00] into any group and they will fit no
[18:02] problem. I think restoration druid right
[18:04] now is a knockout across the board in
[18:06] terms of just HPS and adaptability for
[18:09] any group. So, I really, really like
[18:11] that about Restoration. Moving on to our
[18:13] first tank slot, we have, of course, the
[18:15] superhero protection paladin. I'm going
[18:18] to make this once again short and sweet.
[18:19] If you're the type of player who likes
[18:21] to tank in pickup groups most of the
[18:23] time, prop paladin is the safest and
[18:26] most powerful spec you can play at
[18:28] Midnight because you're not just
[18:29] tanking. You can literally do every
[18:31] other role entirely alone. Propalley is
[18:34] the kind of tank that can walk into a
[18:36] messy pug and instantly make it feel
[18:39] organized because your toolkit is built
[18:41] around control and problem solving. You
[18:44] got answers to every problem in the
[18:45] game. You have a ton of interrupts,
[18:47] controls, and silences for caster mobs,
[18:49] so that can never happen. You have some
[18:51] of the best defensive toolkits in the
[18:52] game for yourself, so you should be fine
[18:54] if you know what you're doing. You have
[18:56] the best utility out of any tank in the
[18:58] game with blessing of sacrifice,
[18:59] blessing of protection, incredible
[19:01] offheels with word of glory, lay on
[19:03] hands for yourself, for somebody else.
[19:04] And not only that, you have some of the
[19:06] highest DPS in the game, too. So, uh,
[19:08] yeah, you know what? Uh, protection
[19:10] paladin, you name it, they got it. So,
[19:11] in pugs where, you know, people miss
[19:13] kicks, the damage could be low
[19:14] sometimes, the healing feels a little
[19:16] bit off, as a prop paladin, you can
[19:18] solve every single problem. Not only
[19:19] that, you're one of the more durable
[19:20] tanks now heading into the game with
[19:22] their talent and the natural damage
[19:23] mitigation adjustments. I'm just going
[19:25] to be honest, protection paladin is a
[19:27] oneof one. There's not a class like it.
[19:29] So, if you're heading into midnight an
[19:30] expansion where you want to tank, carry
[19:33] these random groups and feel like a
[19:34] superhero, prop paladin is the best
[19:37] spec. No question about it. And then
[19:39] finally, we got to talk about the
[19:41] vengeance demon hunter. Now, I would say
[19:42] if you want a more aggressive and
[19:45] modernized approach to tanking,
[19:47] vengeance is one of the best specs in
[19:48] Midnight. I would say the biggest thing
[19:51] that makes Vengeance so strong is number
[19:53] one, their mobility is through the roof,
[19:55] which means in a real pickup group
[19:57] environment and solo queue environment,
[19:59] they can control the pace and push the
[20:01] pace very well, which believe it or not
[20:03] is valuable. And number two, as of right
[20:05] now, their damage and self- sustain is
[20:08] some of, if not the best in the entire
[20:10] game. On top of that, Vengeance right
[20:12] now is extremely durable, which is
[20:15] crazy. The spec is constantly
[20:17] self-healing, sustaining itself while
[20:19] being very aggressive, high damage, high
[20:22] mobility, and you have a ton of tools to
[20:24] support your group as well. My favorite
[20:25] thing about Vengeance, I think, has to
[20:27] be their apex talent though, untethered
[20:29] rage. It gives you free procs and
[20:30] metamorphosis, and you're pretty much
[20:32] just unkillable at that point, and that
[20:34] happens very consistently. So with
[20:35] Vengeance, you have a tank that can push
[20:37] the pace, deal great damage, great
[20:39] utility with grip, and their magical
[20:40] debuff on enemies for caster comps such
[20:42] as, you know, vengeance demon hunter,
[20:44] augmentation evoker, frost mage on holy
[20:45] DK sort of deal. And they're just built
[20:48] to dominate the leaderboard at that
[20:49] point. So yes, if you're looking for a
[20:51] tank that could really push really,
[20:53] really high tier, I would say this one
[20:55] has the highest ceiling. But yes, ladies
[20:57] and gentlemen, that is going to wrap up
[20:58] this solo and pugging main guide heading
[21:00] into midnight. Listen, I'm a sucker for
[21:02] playing on my own, and I got to say,
[21:04] there are definitely a couple classes
[21:05] that made this list that made me rethink
[21:07] my main choice heading into Midnight.
