List: Bosses Ill-Suited to Tankadins

Looks like some good summaries so far. I agree that maiden is a disadvantaged fight for us - dps complains about having to hold back when I tank it. No one seems to have done SSC yet so I guess I'll give it a shot.

Hydross
Slight disadvantage

We have a threat disadvantage on mobs that cannot be blocked, as well as a slightly tougher time gearing for resistance. We have a small advantage in aoe tanking the adds.

Lurker Below
disadvantage

Not having intercept means the off-tank has to tank longer, lowering our threat and increasing the chances for something odd to happen, like a spout starting on the OT. Slight advantage in snap aggro on the adds.

Morogrim
even

We can output a lot more threat than other tanks on a boss with an slowing attack, but unfortunately morogrim hits very hard for his spot in progression and we probably ill-suited until the we outgears it. We have a very large advantage tanking adds however.

Karathress
multiple

For tanking karathress himself, we are at a slight disadvantage as we cannot intervene out of spitfire range (which is used in some strategies). For tanking the shaman, we are by far the worst tank due to high burst and no crushings. For tanking the priest, we are at a disadvantage due to no spell interrupt. For tanking the hunter/pet, we are at a slight advantage due to our ability to easily hold aggro on both targets.

Leotheras
Advantage

For tanking humanoid form, we are able to snap aggro from a distance, giving us an advantage. For tanking demon form, we are able to divine shield out of the debuff stack - however, we do not have the stamina and threat of a warlock. Unlike a warrior tank, we are very unlikely to get mind controlled.

Vashj
Advantage

Phase 1/3 - we can freedom ourselves out of roots or even generate aggro from range. Phase 2- ranged multiple target taunt makes picking up and tanking multiple nagas easy.

If you're going to note drawbacks, you should definitely include that we are often not the first choice on ANY fight for the first attempt purely because the buffer of extra stamina warriors and bears have helps reduce the chance for error to end a learning attempt early - even on fights where our tools give us an advantage once the fight is on farm.

SSC in my experience:

Lurker
Advantaged
Tanking him in the water ensures consecration hits him and the steady damage we take from the scalding water means more mana back for even more threat. I guess the same could be said for warriors and rage but eh

Hydross
Advantaged
Consecration is really amazing here. Dropping it on top of Hydross so the adds don't gank the healers works very well and makes it easier for the OTs to get them.

Morogrim
Advantaged
As murloc tanks we make what would normally be a multiple tank fight into one only needing two. We are a huge benefit to the raid here!

Karathress
Advantaged
I've only tanked the hunter through to completion but I think we're fine on Karathress too. That said we're so good at picking up the pet and holding it that we're an obvious match for Sharkis.

Leotheras
Advantaged
Captain America and judgements are great at picking him up. He hits very fast and it's easy to burst aggro on him and keep up over 1000 TPS. We are great at killing our inner demons too.

Yes I am very much a "cup is half full not half empty" person! I came into SSC expecting many road blocks and instead have been met with MANY situations where my contribution has been highly valued not as a gimmick/trash tank but as a MT.

Funny how many people write how well they can tank the trash if only asked about the bosses.

Boss: Reliquary of Souls: Phase 1: Essence of Pain
Instance: Black Temple
Advantaged

Reason: There is zero healing in this phase and tanks cycle control of the boss relying on blocks and avoidance to stay up. As a class which relies on blocks we could possibly tank 2 whole non-enraged portions. Though unlike bear OT's we can't really dps phase 2~3

Thought i'd show an advantage for RoS Lore
