We are taking a look today at the DPS balance between the six tank classes in both Heroic and Mythic difficulties of the Dragonflight Season 2 raid.
Tank DPS Balance in Heroic AberrusFirst, looking at Heroic difficulty, we see that Brewmaster Monk and Vengeance Demon Hunter lead the tanks as far as DPS goes, with Guardian Druid and Protection Paladin 5% to 10% behind them. In the last two positions, we have Blood Death Knight and Protection Warriors, with up to 20% less average damage than the leading specs. 95th Percentile Statistics

Overall DamageDamage to Bosses Tank DPS Balance in Mythic AberrusIn Mythic, the story changes slightly. Brewmaster Monks lose the lead to Vengeance Demon Hunters. Guardian Druids also rise up, while Protection Paladins occupy a similar position. These changes could possibly be due to Vengeance and Guardian damage benefiting more from early encounters than latter ones since Mythic parses for latter bosses are very sparse right now. On average, Protection Warriors and Blood Death Knight parses increase when compared to Heroic, but both specs are still at the bottom of the DPS charts. 95th Percentile Statistics
