Anyone that mains tank should get immediate Alpha/Beta access

I made one to have a look at it but Im more interested in how my current toons go with the new talent system. I will have plenty of time to play an Evoker when it goes live.

You wager correctly. There are many, many Evokers on the beta, not only while leveling, but as cap as well. Typically my group is me on my bear, 3 evokers, and like 1 other DPS.

Having said that, I don’t think there’s that many level 70s on the beta as I had to wait 15 minutes for a DPS before.

Sure!

Playing a tank in normal dungeons isn’t much different from playing melee dps.

maybe the reason there is a que issue on beta is because everyone wants to test evoker and Evoker cant be a tank. who would have guessed this might happen. :smirk:

Or maybe they could just open the floodgates once they get the content to work as intended mostly.

I know I know I’m a genius, but it’s just a thought albeit a super smart one.

No one has to anymore, people watch X streamer they always pull and go the same way, suddenly it’s the accurate way to do it. Especially if multiple streamers are all doing it that way, the “META IS GOD” types expect it to be done that way, because if all the streamers do it that way it’s clearly right.

Talents have been bugged so I don’t think they’re ready to open up the floodgates fully. They just hotfixed a patch onto the beta that allows you to play the game even though the talents are still buggy but yeah, it isn’t in a state for actual mass consumption. 3/4 of the zones are done but Thaldrazus is still rough and the end-game dungeons are also not itemized. Callings / World Quests are not implemented fully either.

Keep rocking on and pick it apart from head to toe for the rest of us!

No, it’s more like the pool of players is small, and tanks being already very tiny on live compared to everyone else… that’s 1 tank for a whole beta server.

If evoker could tank, majority of people would be dps evokers.

You’d also see more tanks if dungeon leveling wasn’t busted. They want people to test the MSQ and other quests so they’ve shut off end-of-dungeon XP to funnel players back into the open-world, taking away one of the main advantages to tank leveling (which was the ability to spam dungeons).

Dungeons are bugged on the beta and drop level 70 gear for level 60-69 characters which allows you to really deck out your character but having awesome gear isn’t a substitute for XP as you eventually have all your gear (although my Bear has yet to get a weapon qq).

mathematically, you would still have more tanks because of the pool of evokers that would tank +the non evoker players is larger than the pool of players that would tank but are not evokers. :thinking:

Guuud guud more tank bags for me :+1:

If they made those give out more than a repair bill worth of gold… I’d have a mythic geared tank alt every season.

so having tanks play beta instead of shadowlands will make the queues faster? what kind of weird logic is that

Well they are talking about the queues in beta not in retail so normal logic applies.

The kind where they’re talking about queues in beta, not retail.

why don’t they post in the beta section then…
