Yeah but if we’re one nerf away from no longer timing anything over 30 then surely we’re also one buff away from some other tank doing +35s 
We just don’t know what that buff would be

Im not talking about specifically dmg…
Their survival mixed with dmg from their teir peice made them very simple too play while also being that powerful.
A bdk will actually find it hard too just entirely run out of runic power, unless they are stupid of course.
yes but people want to nerf bdk because of their damage - it doesn’t tell the tale until you actually break it down and realize that no other class can feasibly do high keys besides bdk
yes the damage can use tuning but that’s not what my point was.
My point was that no matter what happens to bdk, it will always be picked over prot paladin. especially in a season where mobs are doing 1k% increased dmg.
I think I’ve thought of a buff that could maybe make monks brokenly stupid dumb op. Staggering magic dmg at the same rate as phys. Id like to see a dumb dreadlord one shot through that!
Or we just bring back vengeance mechanic from mop and every tank becomes stupidly broken!
I don’t know why people see tanks having fun, and instead of wanting to share the fun with all 5 other tank specs, they just want to nerf the fun out.
Then they unironically say “Fun Detected, Fun Removed” whenever Blizzard nerfs their dps.
Honestly, it’s time to stop catering to snowflake dps with fragile egos. Bring back Vengeance.

And Stam trinkets with Stam flasks. Let’s go.

I call it the Rextroy meta. One man solos the world as 4 cheerleaders watch on.
Blizz likes to nerf top outliers instead of buffing everything else because it’s less time and labor. Time is money.
Just my 2 cents as a silly little DPS, but I think purgatory is strong but BDK as a whole is a literal juggernaut in S3/S4. It has good control over packs, and is pretty much immortal in the right hands (aside from purg). And damage. If you think doing the most/bringing the most damage isn’t what earns a spot in the meta, well…
Rsham arguably brings more utility and damage =/+ than hpriest. But hpriest brings better group damage through fae and pi. Rogue has historically been the best example of a utility pick, but we even saw it get pushed out of the meta in S3. Outlaw brings great damage on top of its utility this time around, so it gets brought
Paladin and other tanks can solo save, I think people over exaggerate BDK as the solo-save tank, they’re just a bit more consistently able to do so.
Other tanks can do high keys. But once you get to the highest keys you need to bring the best, and there will always be a best spec, even if the difference between the 2nd best is pretty marginal.

I think the stressful part is that in a season where things hit hard, there’s no way that any other class would be picked over bdk even if they omega nerf bdk.
BDK would still be picked unless they got rid of literally their whole kit.
Make the extension of rune weapon cap at 8 seconds.
Done.
Dead tank, F-Tier.
okay they do that - then what tank takes bdk spot?
which tank in this current season and meta can even SLIGHTLY compete with bdk
the answer is literally none. it doesn’t matter what u do to bdk, the rest of the specs are just bad.
Idk what bear you been running with but the one i run with in m+ bursts for 100k easy every 2 min and shrugs off 99 stacks of necrotic as if its not even on him. If that puts bear tanks in the sucks category idk what else they need to be doing to be better.
There is currently 0 specs in the game that can handle what bdk handles, and it doesn’t matter the reasoning behind it.
If you nerf bdk you literally cannot prog high keys, no spec “takes their spot” because literally every other tank spec is just BAD comparatively.
3* minutes.
Ya that seems right prob is 3 min.
I think they’re all being artificially held together by borrowed power atm. The only real solution is to just make sure S1 DF doesn’t blow for any one tank. Not being invited to 30s in a meme season is more a minor annoyance compared to not getting invites to a 15 in week 3 s1
That’s what they’re doing in DF. It’s a stupid set bonus that destroys the core gameplay of the class and makes it stupidly overpowered.
They should have changed it before it went live.
It actually brings DK sorta back to Mists type gameplay.
Not health pingpong of the last few expacs.
F-tier, dead tank all expansion.
