The Best Midnight PUG/SOLO Player Specs To Main! No More "META"!

[00:00] I think most people play World of

[00:01] Warcraft the same way I do now. You log

[00:04] in when you can. You try to get your

[00:05] stuff done, pug a mythic plus key or

[00:07] two, and just try to have fun without it

[00:09] being such a headache. I've realized as

[00:12] I'm getting older, I don't have the time

[00:14] or the patience to build the perfect

[00:15] group comp, sit in Discord, and play the

[00:17] game like it's a job anymore. So, in

[00:19] today's video, I'm going to show you the

[00:21] best midnight specs you could main for

[00:24] solo players and people who mostly pug.

[00:27] And no, I'm not talking about what's S

[00:29] tier on a spreadsheet. I'm talking about

[00:31] the specs that feel good, can carry

[00:34] during chaos moments if need be, and let

[00:36] you make real progress even when you're

[00:38] playing alone in Delves and Prey. Okay,

[00:41] I want to show you guys what I've been

[00:42] playing before Midnight officially

[00:44] releases. It's called Lort, and it's a

[00:46] brand new 1 to eight player co-op action

[00:48] rogike that just launched on Steam, and

[00:50] it's honestly one of the most chaotic

[00:52] and hilarious games I've played in a

[00:54] minute. You and your friends, you drop

[00:55] into this cursed fantasy world, and you

[00:57] start stacking up to 90 absurd powerups,

[01:00] and you go from a ridiculous, goofy

[01:02] character that is barely doing anything

[01:04] into just a full-on god at the end if

[01:07] you power up properly. You swap your

[01:09] weapons, and it's all about stacking

[01:10] these together to create some crazy

[01:12] combos. You're choosing between melee,

[01:14] range, magic builds, and then of course

[01:16] your mid-run class upgrades. Every run

[01:19] feels brand new and different, and it's

[01:21] just pure chaos. So, you're reviving

[01:22] your friends. You're blowing up the

[01:24] tutor to rally that squad and just

[01:26] trying to survive long enough to break

[01:28] the game. So, if you want to give this

[01:29] game a try, try out Lort now. It's on

[01:31] Steam and it's under $10 right now for

[01:34] launch thanks to the discount currently

[01:35] active. That's only live for just a

[01:37] couple weeks now. So, click the link

[01:38] below or even wishlist the game to

[01:40] remind you whenever it's on sale. And

[01:41] check it out, man. I promise you will

[01:43] not be disappointed. Thanks again for

[01:44] Lor for sponsoring today's video. Now,

[01:47] let's get back to the content. Starting

[01:48] off first, Havoc Demon Hunter is easily

[01:51] one of the safest specs you can play if

[01:52] you're solo or looking for pickup

[01:54] groups. Havoc is one of the few DPS

[01:56] specs in the game that genuinely feels

[01:58] like it can just take care of itself.

[02:01] You have some of the best mobility in

[02:03] the game, really strong defensive

[02:05] toolkit with all them being updated this

[02:07] expansion, and more than enough sustain

[02:09] to survive messy situations that would

[02:11] most likely delete other DPS specs. So

[02:14] whether you're doing openw world

[02:15] content, pushing delves, or even the

[02:18] brand new prey system where you're on

[02:19] your own, Havoc Demon Hunter, you're

[02:22] always just feeling solid. The spec is

[02:24] built to stay alive and keep moving. I

[02:27] would say in particular, when you do

[02:28] join pickup groups with Havoc, though,

[02:30] they're one of the best specs for simply

[02:32] just how low dependent they are on your

[02:34] team and setups. You don't need the tank

[02:37] to pull a nuclear amount of mobs. You

[02:39] don't need to line up everything with a

[02:41] one or two minute cool down. don't need

[02:43] a ton of group coordination. Even when

[02:45] things feel super or unorganized with

[02:47] Havoc, you dash around, you pop some

[02:49] coolowns, deal your super consistent

[02:51] high DPS while healing yourself with all

[02:53] your natural leech, and you're good to

[02:55] go. One of the most slept on things I

[02:57] would say in pug groups, ladies and

[02:58] gentlemen, is needing to have consistent

[03:01] damage, not just high sims are trying to

[03:04] peak and hit like 5 million DPS. That's

[03:07] why specs like fire mage, frost death

[03:10] knight, and the old subtlety rogue, they

[03:12] really struggle in pickup groups because

[03:15] it's too hard to predict what the pole

[03:18] is going to look like. And if you

[03:19] misplay, you're going to suffer. That's

[03:22] why specs like Havoc Demon Hunter,

[03:24] Retribution Paladin, Outlaw Rogue,

[03:26] they're great for just super high

[03:28] consistent DPS that can keep the

[03:31] pressure up no matter what. Not only

[03:33] that, the rotation for Havoc is easy

[03:34] enough to where even if you do mess up,

[03:37] it doesn't feel like your entire damage

[03:38] kit just collapses. It's a very smooth

[03:41] flow spec and you can recover very

[03:43] easily. I'd say if you're trying to play

[03:45] on your own, you plug in, you know, some

[03:47] mythic plus keys every once in a while,

[03:48] your delves, your prey system. Havoc is

[03:50] easily one of the cleanest choices you

[03:51] can make. Very, very self-sufficient,

[03:54] straightforward class to main. Moving

[03:56] on, next we have the brand new reworked

[03:58] unholy death knight. And this can

[04:00] absolutely be a solid option for anybody

[04:02] out there looking for something new.

[04:04] Unholy is one of those specs that

[04:05] naturally checks that self-sufficiency

[04:08] box because you're by far the tankiest

[04:10] class in all of World of Warcraft. You

[04:12] have great durability compared to

[04:13] everyone else, built-in sustain, you

[04:15] know, you got your multiple defensives.

[04:17] So, if you love doing your world quest,

[04:19] you know, pushing delves, try out the

[04:20] new prey system, or just doing solo

[04:22] stuff in general where, you know, you

[04:23] don't have your healer babysitting you,

[04:25] Unholy is a solid option. Now, of

[04:27] course, what I'm about to say is a plus,

[04:29] but it is important to know it's not as

[04:30] strong as some of the other classes in

[04:32] this video, but of course with Unholy,

[04:34] you do have your pets. You have a ton of

[04:36] comfortability with that as well. Uh,

[04:38] through your rotation now, as unholy,

[04:40] you summon all your pets and you deal

[04:42] like 90% of your damage being entirely

[04:44] ranged. So, previously, unholy death

[04:46] knight was incredibly dependent on, you

[04:48] know, very large poles, a lot of like

[04:51] five, six, seven global cooldowns of

[04:53] proper setup. You got to apply your

[04:54] festering wounds, spread your diseases,

[04:56] get your death and decay down, and then

[04:58] you could start ramping. It was awful.

[05:00] Not anymore, though. At this point,

[05:02] unholy is a couple buttons to get up and

[05:04] rolling. You're absolutely blasting, and

[05:07] you're not a spec that needs to have

[05:08] everything line up anymore. You simply

[05:10] roll into a pack, spread your diseases,

[05:12] get your army going, and then you're off

[05:14] to the races. Now, Unholy Death Knight

[05:16] doesn't have the most utility in the

[05:18] game. I'm not going to lie. But they

[05:20] have a couple things that can really

[05:21] save a group. You have multiple grips to

[05:23] grip in those caster mobs. You have good

[05:25] AoE disruption. You have your powerful

[05:27] AMZ which can really save your group

[05:29] depending on the big heal checks on

[05:31] certain bosses. So, you have enough to

[05:33] where people would want you, but most

[05:35] importantly, your damage profile is just

[05:36] some of the best in the game right now.

[05:38] And you can pretty much carry any group

[05:40] if you know how to DPS well. Midnight is

[05:42] going to be your expansion where you're

[05:43] grinding solo, pugging keys, uh you

[05:45] know, whenever you can. You want

[05:46] something that feels durable,

[05:47] consistent, powerful with a brand new

[05:48] rework. I think Unholy is the best uh

[05:51] spec for you. Moving on next, we have an

[05:53] absolute layup here. This is the Beast

[05:55] Mastery Hunter. Now, listen, if you're a

[05:56] solo player or you live in pickup

[05:58] groups, this might genuinely be the most

[06:01] simple and comfortable spec you can play

[06:03] in the game. Beast Mastery is all about

[06:06] self-sufficiency because you're never

[06:08] alone. You have your pet that is tanking

[06:10] for you at an unprecedented rate. It

[06:12] holds all the aggro, takes all the

[06:14] pressure off of you, and deals tons of

[06:16] damage. So, if you're doing openw world

[06:18] quest, farming, pushing delves, or doing

[06:20] prey, BM Hunter is probably the easiest

[06:23] spec in all of World of Warcraft for

[06:25] this. What makes this spec so good at

[06:27] solo content is that you're one of the

[06:28] few specs in the game where you can walk

[06:30] into something really undergeeared

[06:33] more than you should and still be okay

[06:36] because you've got tools for anything

[06:37] the game can throw at you. Not only

[06:39] that, they're very low dependent on team

[06:41] setup and comp. You don't need some

[06:42] perfect group synergy or great

[06:44] coordination. You show up, you press

[06:46] your beastial wrath every 30 seconds,

[06:48] you spam your AoE, you know, kill

[06:50] commands by pushing your wild thrash and

[06:52] uh yeah, you're pretty much good to go.

[06:54] That is almost the entirety of the

[06:55] rotation. And it's quite fun, honestly.

[06:57] Once again, I think it's very important

[06:59] to look at consistent and median based

[07:02] damage rather than, you know, who's

[07:04] sending the highest burst damage with

[07:05] their cooldowns up. Because the truth of

[07:07] the matter is, ladies and gentlemen,

[07:08] nothing ever goes right when you're in

[07:10] pugs or group content. And you need to

[07:12] be able to do your full DPS rotation

[07:15] consistently while being in panic mode.

[07:18] And Beast Mastery Hunter is all about

[07:19] that. You can do all your damage on the

[07:21] move while dodging mechanics and

[07:23] avoiding all the crap. And I will say I

[07:25] think Hunter doesn't bring a lot of

[07:26] utility of course, but they still bring

[07:28] blood lust. They have a couple of items

[07:30] of control. Just know that you're

[07:32] growing into groups to deal damage,

[07:33] avoid mechanics, and not die, and go

[07:35] about your day. Beast Mastery Hunter is

[07:37] a very easy, chill, you log in, progress

[07:40] your character, log out spec. Moving on,

[07:42] next, we have the Retribution Paladin.

[07:44] And this is one of the most main

[07:46] character specs you can play if you're a

[07:48] solo player or you spend most your time

[07:50] in pugs. Now, what I personally love

[07:52] about retribution is that it's not all

[07:54] about dealing damage. It's about being

[07:56] the guy in the group that can look at a

[07:58] completely doomed pole set to just wipe

[08:01] everybody and then you take over and

[08:03] make sure your group doesn't wipe. It's

[08:05] one of the specs in the game that you

[08:07] have just so many panic buttons, not

[08:09] only for yourself, but you have panic

[08:11] buttons for your teammates. And on top

[08:13] of it all, you're still blasting every

[08:15] 30 seconds with your wake of ashes burst

[08:17] damage windows. Remember, ladies and

[08:18] gentlemen, pickup groups don't fail in

[08:20] Mythic Plus because your DPS was 2%

[08:23] lower than the meta. They fail because

[08:25] somebody either dies at the wrong time,

[08:27] the tank will pull too many, or your

[08:28] healer falls behind and doesn't call

[08:30] that they're out of mana. Retribution

[08:32] Paladin is one of the very few specs in

[08:34] the game that can literally prevent any

[08:36] spiral in content from happening. You

[08:39] have blessing of sacrifice you could put

[08:40] on the tank. Blessing of protection you

[08:42] could put on the healer. Ginormous off

[08:44] heals with word of glory. You have a

[08:45] full health heal with lay on hands. You

[08:47] got your bubble to make yourself immune.

[08:50] I mean you name it. The retribution

[08:52] paladin has an answer for it. Now when

[08:54] it comes to pure solo content, Rhett is

[08:57] also really comfortable for that as

[08:58] well. It's tanky and durable. Built-in

[09:00] healing of course the great defensive

[09:02] toolkit. You can handle bosses and

[09:04] elites no problem. It's one of those

[09:06] specs where you can just run in, press

[09:07] wake of ashes, pop all your cooldowns,

[09:09] and everything's going to be dying very

[09:11] quickly. Retribution is just that rare

[09:13] combo of very high consistent damage and

[09:15] clutch utility. It is a oneofone in my

[09:18] opinion when it comes to DPS. Easy to

[09:20] execute, very smooth rotation, and I

[09:23] love that even when you're not playing

[09:24] perfect on Rhett, you're at least doing

[09:26] something useful if you focus on your

[09:29] utility in group support. You don't have

[09:31] to be a god tier player, but if you have

[09:34] a high shielding, you can do some

[09:35] ridiculous stuff on this spec.

[09:37] Absolutely love retribution for solo

[09:39] play. They are a pug carry. Next up, if

[09:42] you're looking for a caster, we got to

[09:43] talk about frost mage. Now, I know a lot

[09:45] of people are going to hear this and

[09:46] think, "Oh my god, mage, I thought they

[09:48] were hard to play. I thought they were,

[09:50] you know, nothing but glass cannon sky.

[09:51] What are you talking about?" But

[09:53] throughout history, yes, that may be

[09:54] true. Heading into Midnight though,

[09:56] Frost Mage is easily one of the best

[09:57] 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.
