These tank nerfs are terrible do not push them through you will drive people out of the role and in turn the game. Tanking is actually enjoyable for once.

Woah a tank who gets it and not a dps who needs to be carried in his m+
I saw a video of a DK over-performing. Quickly Blizzard, nerf Brewmaster!

Please for the love of god, do not nerf brewmaster… if anything a slight buff or leave the 10% there, it already struggles compared to the rest. Use your brain PLEASE

These changes are HUGE which makes me worry, because why would anyone establish them in the first place?
I am seriously worried about the mental state of Bliz devs, please go see a doctor.
I have abandoned my rogue thanks to you. One month wasted.
As much fun as it is to get PI I would say no to this. Combustion is self cast only. PI can be put on anyone. If it was self cast only I would say yes keep the balance but as it can be cast on others it needs to remain dispellable.
no. leave the blanket nerf.
however, if it is indeed struggling it prob needs targeted buffs/and or changes to its entire tool kit because a passive dr shouldn’t be the only thing keeping it above water.
They always do a blanket nerf to all tanks, whether it’s necessary or not. Rip defensive build brewmaster.
If they had to blanket nerf tanks, I’d rather it have been 10%+ to damage not survivability.

Did I read it wrong? All tanks got a 10% reduction, including Protection. They just had their power taken from 2 different sources 5% at a time.
Imagine thinking that because you play a video you have any real understanding or concept of what it takes to balance one…
Tanks need to go on strike! No more tanking random heroics because that’s leads to people complaining and tanks getting nerfed!
Resist the gold filled bag!

At least 10% of a larger number is a bigger nerf. 
I don’t understand why Blizzard is going to nerf the least played role and make the role even less desirable to play. If you are going to give all tanks a flat physical damage reduction passive nerf then at least replace that reduction % with a damage buff. You did nothing to help the tank shortage by incentivizing players to take on the role with the most responsibility, you only made it worse 4 days before mythic+/raid release.

All tanks should just go on strike, roll dps until they revert the changes. If we don’t tank, they have no choice.

I agree with this 100%
tanks shouldn’t be able to easily solo large portions of encounters after the rest of their group have died.
Then stop making AOE 1 shot on the groups does everything have to be AOE damage to the whole group all the time with DOTS that some classes can not dispel off them then rest of the group will not be dead.
It seems that’s all Blizz can think of is AOE damage AOE damage kill the hunter in 2 ticks dots AOE damage that you can not avoid no matter what. it gets old and it is not fun game play.

I just retired from tanking and switched to DPS. It’s fun now having no pressure from having to learn all the dungeons and mechanics, teach it to others in your groups, or having to face any criticism if you make a mistake while leading the group. Now I can relax as a DPS and just focus on one aspect of the game which is to pew pew. Thanks for nerfing my role to help motivate me to make the switch.

You guys honestly just need to leave DK’s alone in general after the last nerf we got.

Yes, “some” tanks needed to be tuned down a bit, but not all, and the nerf to self healing for dps… The real losers here are healers, it’s going to be difficult to keep groups up now. I was planning on healing on priest/evoker/druid this expac but after these changes, I’ll swap back to dps, I dont need that stress
