I mean, there have always existed people who hate every feature of WoW so either the entire game should be shut down or people can just do what they find fun and ignore what they don’t.

I like to play Shaman.
If they allowed Shaman to finally have a tank spec, I’d be tanking.
For some people, they have a favorite class, that just can’t tank.
Granted, I DO tank on other classes sometimes, but I would prefer to tank on my favorite class.

I dont get this, I have played since vanilla and even then people were skipping trash, making large pulls and using shortcuts. Killing trash is boring.

There are a lot of people doing mythic+ Its really the only reason I play at all.
Yeah, I remember hitting max level in GW2 and running a dungeon with everyone just kitting bosses around and thing “wtf is this crap”

In the glory days, I carried at least 3 full sets + tweaks depending on special circumstances. Now? I could play all 3 roles with much less gear.
Borrowed power just depends on what level of content I’m running. For most folks, you could pick good all around legendary/covenant combos and be fine.

Had a good one the night actually lol.
Pulling first boss of necrotic wake with a few trash packs and he blasts full aoe in the same global I pull things. Like somehow he expected me to get agro on 3 packs at the same time he throw aoe spells out.
It didnt work out well for him lol

Sure whenever we have another PvE avenue to get gear on par with with raids, M+, or PvP. I just want to do dungeons without a toxic timer over my head forcing everyone to play like esports tryhards

The only reason I play prot paladin is because of good survivability and decent damage.
Otherwise I’d play a warlock or hunter, much more fun doing big damian.
And with dragon class coming, idk. If tanks stay this strong or get stronger, I’ll stick with it. If they nerf tanks somehow, not worth it anymore.

Bring back vengeance let tanks do top dps
Twilight Devastation should make a comeback in 10.0 , every Tanks spec should be able to choose Twilight Devastation with new talent tree
Oh that was pugging. Shadowlands killed my guild.
Hot take but the holy trinity only works when people want to align themselves with the role needed for it to function, if no one wants to do one single role, everyone else suffers. It’s a old system of grouping at this point and kind of limiting to class fantasy and changes should be made to blur the lines between each role so that one spec doesn’t mean the party isn’t out of what is needed, but just another body to make sure damage can be pushed.
Is that why it’s performing really well right now?
Instead of twilight beams a bunch of whelps do a flying pass with their schools magic attack!

This basically. I love tanking on my monk but right now I’m maining my warlock for thematic reasons.
There’s a good chance I’ll want to main a Dracthyr, also for thematic reasons. If Evoker has a tank spec, I’ll main it. If not, I wont.

They’re definitely missing an opportunity by not making Dracthyr come with a 3rd tank spec right out-of-the-box. I mean let’s be honest, they could probably “make it” happen somehow.
The “lore” for dragon tanking already exists in older parts of the game, for example in the Oculus there is a red/“Ruby” colored dragon that acts as the “tank” for the group. Then of course there is the DPS dragon (Amber-colored) and the healer dragon (Emerald Green-colored).
I can totally see a “Ruby color” or “Ruby aspect”-themed tanking specialization for Dracthyr, to round out the class with 3 different specs to pick from.
Another missed opportunity is Shaman tanks. With the “elements” and “aspects” starting to stir, I can totally see them slapping together an “Earth-warden” tanking spec for Shamans.
…but they don’t seem to be interested in ideas such as these, it’s unfortunate

The only time I feel like a tank is during incarn.
That’s really the issue. Tank pools are always going to be smaller because of the leadership expectation, but enough people enjoy that to make it work. The issue is tanking hasn’t been very fun this expansion. 4pc makes it feel almost tolerable

As someone who used to tank heroic dungeons…
-
Loss of automatic matchmaking dungeons being relavant to daily grinds for competitive power rewards.
-
nerf threat means you need more gear to hold aggro with people who are really good, meaning you should farm gear for off spec or stick with bad rng until you upgrade everything
-
Having to memorize routes for dungeons and stuff like the items in plaguefall is a bunch of stuff to remember.
-
Needing a weakaura to check % in mythic plus. The mobs should show you % it gives and which mobs share aggro tables.
-
Community skips is annoying and sometimes necessary. Grinding gold for those pots and repair bills can be annoying.
-
Getting into a group with bad dps makes encounters go so long and feel so much harder then they need to be.
-
Affixes that require kiting can be annoying on some classes and you dont feel like you are tanking/ doing stuff besides running and hoping you get threat while not being in range.
-
Right now if I want to get into tanking I would have to craft the new legendary on like a 291 piece to help keep aggro with the higher geared players and survivability at the key levels I want for gear. Where I enjoy tanking when I got the gear already so that will be maybe later in the season.
Also getting the 4 pc. May help against others with 4 pc.
