Proving Yourself: Endless Tank (Wave 30) (Level 90)
Successfully complete Wave 30 of the Basic Tank (Endless) trial at the Proving Grounds.
Proving Yourself: Endless Tank (Wave 30) (Level 90) requires you to successfully complete Wave 30 of the Basic Tank Endless trial at the Proving Grounds, rewarding the title The Proven Defender.
Choose Your Tank Spec
Enter the Proving Grounds as a tank specialization. Player data confirms viable specs include Protection Paladin, Protection Warrior, and Blood Death Knight, each with distinct cooldown and survival strategies.
Optimize Your Stats
For Protection Warrior, aim for around 463k HP and 52% mastery, as a mastery build is recommended since a large portion of incoming damage is physical. Also cap hit and expertise at 7.5%.
Select Proper Talents and Glyphs
For Protection Warrior, use the talents Double Time, Impending Victory, Piercing Howl, Shockwave, Vigilance, and Storm Bolt, with glyphs Heavy Repercussions, Enraged Speed, and Death From Above.
Manage Cooldowns Carefully
Proper cooldown management is critical as waves progress; for Protection Paladin on Wave 6, recommended cooldowns include Avenging Wrath, Holy Avenger, Hammer of Justice, and Divine Protection, with Turn Evil used to trivialize Wind-Guard threats.
Execute Positioning Consistently
Position mobs so your back is to Sikari on applicable waves, and be aware that Sikari's Crackling Jade Thunderstorm can break crowd control effects such as Intimidating Shout as of September 18th, 2013.
Sustain Through Wave 30
As waves increase, execution becomes the primary challenge over raw damage; self-healing and precise taunting are essential, as mistakenly taunting the wrong mob can end a run on higher waves.
Tips
See the video guide for a visual walkthrough of wave-by-wave strategies.
For Blood Death Knight, avoid using Death and Decay if the wave timer has less than 30 seconds remaining, to preserve it for the next wave.
