With m+ coming on reset it had me thinking… will larger pulls still be worth it with many of the classes being cap at 5? I know not all classes are cap but just curious on your thoughts past it sucks and they should remove it. Though I do feel that way for he most part.
Larger pulls will always be worth it. It allows to keep the tempo going and as long as the tank maintains aggro and survives it will mean you’ll overall be faster since there’s no downtime mowing down pack after pack.

If the tank and healer can handle the damage then it will likely still be worth it. Less downtime, more throughput.
I think we will see a focus on pulling one group and once it is between 50 and 20% the tank will run off to the next pack while the dps finish them off with very little break. Less of the massive 2-4+ packs at the same time pulling.
Though who knows what people will come up with I’m almost always a little surprised at how clever people can be to overcome problems.

No we won’t, there are enough uncapped specs that this isn’t needed. My halls of atonement route consists of only 5 pulls before the first boss for 65% count, the smallest of which has 7 mobs in it.
@OP we will still be pulling huge packs yes. Fire mage, enh sham, spriest, boomy, ele, lock, just off the top of my head are all uncapped, no reason not to pull huge, just don’t bring melee
Its really going to depend on your group composition. If you’ve got 2-3 DPS in the group with uncapped AoE then yes, absolutely pull as big as you can handle. If you’re running a comp with DPS that are capped then maybe stick to one or two packs at a time and focus on minimizing/eliminating downtime between pulls.
Ask your healer.
jfc please, go wild tanks, seriously I promise I won’t complain that you’re at the top of dps. I’m sick of managing to rip threat on 3 mobs from one crash lightning, come on use your aoe-

TFW almost every tanking ability you have is AoE:

I’m capped with Swipe, but not Thrash. Thrash has a CD.
I most certainly DO lose aggro when a DPS goes balls to the wall without so much as waiting for the first Thrash.
And there’s the problem. Cleave was what was nerfed.

I’ve watched a bunch of fairly high keys on beta videos which is still relatively similiar to how it will be on live and it still looks like BFA. Pull 2-3 packs at a time etc.
…Did they at least buff its damage output? How are you even supposed to build threat on more than five targets if your only true AoE threat generator has a CD?
In my current gear:
Swipe up to 5 enemies for 636 damage.
Yeah.
demon hunter tanks just start every pull with elysian decree that does million dps on 60s cd and it’s pretty much impossible to get aggro from them
Sadly i’m filthy havoc venthyr and even if i do tanking in heroics - sinful brand is useless in aoe
That is pathetic. I’m glad I haven’t leveled my Guardian yet. If it stays like that, I might just leave him in hibernation this expansion.
