For posterity ' s sake , ofc . <| sep |> A hunter tank wont be any good . What a tank also is , a person who controls the speed of the group and who know how to positions himself in order for the rest of the group to do more damage . A tank who is not a pet is also more capable to know how o pull one mob instead of running into 10 mobs an aggro all of them , killing the group in the progress . And if you don ' t want people in the group to question your role as a tank when you ' re hunter , then Warrior is the way to go . In some dungeons it may work , yes , but for the people you ' re running the dungeon with will not . The dps will not know how the pet will run off to or when you pull it back . The healer will have to lock the pet in order to heal it , since Mend pet will not be enough and when you mend pet you ' re not doing damage . So yeah . Maybe it will work , but you have to think about the people you ' re running the dungeon with . 1 wipe and the people will blame you for tanking as a hunter , even if it ' s not your fault . If you wanna tank but not as a warrior then try pala or druid
