What are you talking about lots of people in here comparing guardian druid to prot war (the current meta) and complaining that the guardian druid is below average rather than above?
No not even looking at being meta. Not looking to nerf warriors, just some easy druid fixes like monk got.
you know for all these people making excuses for blizzard that basically boil down to “balancing is hard waaah”…
You ever heard of the critically acclaimed MMORPG FFXIV? I play both wow and FFXIV right now. FFXIV is FAR more balanced with all jobs (FFXIV classes) MUCH closer to each other than wow.
You don’t have to take my word for it though, go look at the DPS rankings for example:

Now, of course, very different games, FFXIV doesn’t really have an equivalent to M+ etc and FFXIV is not immune to balance problems either, the Machinist job was pretty undesirable until recent buffs. But the buffs actually fixed machinist and made them pretty good, unlike this guardian revamp. I don’t know what blizz’s goals were with the revamp exactly, but I don’t think they were achieved thats for sure.
but to just make excuses for blizzard like “balancing is HAAAAARD” forgive them is bullsh*t when other MMOs manage it fine.
If you think the relative power of each talent tree for a given class has nothing to do with balancing said class I dont know what to tell you.
People are complaining that Guardian is too far behind. People are complaining about the BUGS that was happening to our spec last week. Peolpe are complaining about feeling way weaker after the expected tree overhaul, when everyone expected a small buff it was a NINJA nerf Blizz said nothing.
NO ONE HERE EVER SAID WE WANT TO BE THE TOP TANK, STOP WITH YOUR FALLACIES.
What are you talking about. How does the most represented class tie into the worst tank. Druid healers are meta for Mythic plus thus high representation and that has what to do with the tanking tree that has problems?
Sure they might do that once they buff monk healing, currently sitting at 2.7% to druids 36% for +20s, yet monk has the same tank representation as druid and less dps representation as well. That seems fair and balanced sure
We get any fixes today? Can’t seem to find any listed anywhere, so probably not.
They obviously needs to buff other healers including monk, like they just did to resto shammy but that is irrelevant to this discussion about guardian tanking.
Because class balance is more important than spec balance. Its more important that a druid as an overall class is represented in mythics than it is that bear tank specifically is.
No I am a guardian druid, this is a multi-billion dollar corporation so they should be able to changes on a frequent basis to balance things out.
Yeah they can do that by homogenizing the classes. As it stands now though I would not hold my breathe for them to buff the most represented class in the game when it comes to mythic plus.
Both are essential. There is no excuse for Guardians to be so far behind. You’re just trolling.
totally off topic
Im not trolling I have just played the game long enough to know how it works. One spec goes up another goes down, if anything Blizzard prob wants less druids represented in mythic plus right now not more. Trying to isolate one spec in one role and then compare it to classes with less specs and less roles in the name of balance is ridiculous.
EDIT: If tanking is too hard for your druid, respec to heals it doesnt even cost anything to change specializations now and other tanks dont have that option
So you just accept what they throw at you? Weird behavior IMO. You don’t even seem to agree with it, but even so you’re antagonizing people asking for guardians to not be so far behind… Very unusual behavior.
Look, you either agree and make a stance of why you prefer things the way it is now, or you make good suggestions that would help Blizz with feedback. Everything else is trolling on my book.
No one should need to do anything just because you said so.
Monks and paladins…lol
Both better tanks than druid and both worse healers than druid, to balance the class you have to considered all specs
If you don’t have anything to add regards class balance, get out of the forums. You’re just trolling and being toxic with these kinds of words.
You said that 5 times in a row already. Reported for spamming. We heard you the first time, people disagree, you have already been refuted. Next…
Pot, meet kettle
