How to Be A Powerful Warlock Tank in World of Warcraft

Many players dislike Warlock, they think they are weak in game, especially as tank. While, after reading the following players will know how powerful Warlock is.

Glyph of Demon Hunting.Demonic Fury now reduces damage taken instead of increasing damage dealt.In addition, while using Metamorphosis, Soulshatter taunts your target, Twilight Ward will absorb all schools of damage and Demonic Slash is shorter range and generates fury.

Automatic role determination by spec. Splitting apart Feral into two specs allows Blizzard to code LFD/LFR to only allow characters who have learned a tanking spec to queue as a tank. If this restriction comes to pass, Demo either needs to become a full-time tank spec or have the tank spec be split off from the DPS spec entirely.

Key skills: Metamorphosis: nether planting + 600% armor / Reduce being crit by 6% and stun and snare effects being shortend by 50%

Metamorphosis: cursed arua's. Binds all enemies within 20 yards in demonic energy, reducing physical damage by 30% and increase the casting time of all spells by 30%.

Automatic quest reward determination by spec. If quest rewards are going to be chosen by your current spec, should Demo get DPS or tanking gear?

Attachment of Demo DPS players to their spec. Given the massive changes made to Demo in Mists, it doesn’t really resemble the Demo DPS spec we’ve enjoyed since Wrath, but current Demo players may not want to give up their DPS play style of choice. There is a related argument that Warlock players don’t want to be a hybrid and be pressured into tanking.

Balance with other classes. Demo tanks brings the number of tank classes up to 6, which can be a challenge for balancing under the Bring the Player model. There are also PvP concerns to consider, though to be frank those concerns exist with the glyphed version anyways.

Tank Cloth itemization. Honestly, I think this is the biggest obstacle for Warlock tanks. How will they gear for avoidance? A conversion of Intellect, Haste, Crit, Mastery into Dodge, Parry, or Expertise might be possible, but how will that work? New gear would be an easier answer, but adding in an entire new class of Tanking Cloth gear is a monumental undertaking, and fraught with the same perils as Intellect Plate.

Although Warlock is not as strong as Shaman, but it has a lot advantages that Shamans don’t have.
