Druid Tanks suck. I hope they wont stay this way. I have full set and still get soloed by a single dps. WTF is the purpose of a tank in BG when they die like that?

Or maybe Fury Warriors need a nerf bat from hell. Not sure.

Yeah no one feels bad for bear tanks they been OP since SL season one. You’ve had two full xpacs as top tanks in PvP. No one is sad for Druids

Ignore the priest above me. Yes Druid tanks are in an extremely dire state right now and make them unplayable in BGs. This is not okay at all

Ignore the priest above me. No Druid tanks are not in an extremely dire state right now and they are very playable in BGs. This is very ok and they are still able to last for a few years per life.

that’s good to hear

You are correct. The fall from being a God is innevitable.

Right now it’s Prot War time. They feel like a really fun Raid boss that throw out that damage. It’s okay for Bear to be C tier for a bit.

I knew the moment I read this you were talking about a Fury Warrior.

It really is. I just wish they’d let us Dragon Charge with the flag, oh and give us back Deep Wounds on Heroic Throw. It was great for dealing with runaway rogues/ferals.

Right now, frenzied Regen is usless at a 6% health restore over 3 seconds. It is one of our primary sources of survival. With people hitting well above that in 1 second, it makes it not even worth pressing at all. Even with Iron fur, barkskin, and survival instinct, frensied regen can not keep up with the i coming surge of damage. I propose a fix or change somewhere, and for me it is the 6% health. Got any other ideas?

i never said bear tanks weren’t in a sad situation
i said no one cares
except bear tanks.
sad bear noises can be heard in the distance

if they don’t adjust the healing then get rid of that increased damage aura that is outdated from the days when tanks had vengeance as a mechanic. Tune damage output for tanks accordingly. Either make them brick walls, self-heal live lords or pseudo-dps but not all 3 at once.

See this is better then having no suggestions at all. I can agree to something like this and believe it should be something done across the board for all tanks.

Someone else brought up a good point in another forum that when Mortal Strike is applied, that 6% becomes 3% and thats so much worse. I just hope some viable changes come and come soon.

prot warrior was almost unplayable in bgs for 3 years, they have sat behind dk and bear for 3 years, i think its fair they finally get to see the light a little bit.

if you want to know how bad it was, season 4 of DF, you would die to honor geared dps through shield wall when your fully conq geared, it was maybe the worst time EVER to play prot warrior, Dks on the other hand could tank 30 people in ashran for 20 minutes straight and not die.

Ashran is meaningless.

Wrong. First of all, it’s rare to even ever have to press the button to use Frenzied regeneration. Secondly, you’re 100% exaggerating about their survivability to begin with. You literally just want to do almost as much damage as a DPS, while doing what you already do. Nah. Peace.

17

Not once did i say anything about dps, so i will no longer entertain someone who isnt serious about the topic.

18

Druids are VERY tanky, even after that nerf to Frenzied regeneration. Period.

19

I dont think advocating for one tank to not get any help because another didnt get help for a prior expansion is a good argument. They should have most definitely fixed prot warriors back then as they should fix Bear druids now and make them all able to be playable in a pvp setting with a fair shake. Right now our Frenzied regen will heal roughly 300k-500k over the course of 3 seconds with a heal reduction applied in a realm where people are hitting easy 2.6m- 4mil while the druid is full honor geared.

You do bring up an interesting point. These are 2 separate things.

Bear Tanks are in fact VERY tanky. Their sustain got hit as did everyone’s. I have seen Bear Tanks in fact Tank several players. They have a great tool kit. I don’t think they are in a dire situation like Prot/Brew have been the last several expansions.

Think it would be a good thing if other Tanks have a chance to play the game.
