I would just start buffing tank mobility until it lured people to play them if I were the devs.
BDK would get a talent that gives 2 charges of Wraith Walk if they’re specced into it and buff it.
Bear would get Tiger Dash in bear form as a separate CD, so they can charge, bear dash and also tiger dash.
Pally would get a talent that increases movement speed every time they judge something or whatever their spender is as a tank.
Id say my biggist issue with prot warrior is there’s a lot of buttons to the point some main use abilities are not on my bar as well as some major defensives that may require fast hitting if it’s an “oh crappers” moment.
Kind of feels like brewmaster in the button bloat. Need some cutting.
A lot of the classes need pruning.
Yeah. Im just trying to figure out what I can put together in a macro or find some way to make a hot key and grow at least three more fingers. This is just crazy.
Not counting all the marker macros I see I’ll need to make as well. Starting to see why tanks ng is intimidating. This is a lot of stuff to make and figure out places to put it xD
This is true. However there is a shortage of competent tanks/healers and an abundance of competent DPS.
No, most people in general are incompetent. Including dps.
Yes but because there are so many more people who prefer to DPS there is an abundance of competent ones to choose from.
But you can’t tell if someone’s good or not at a glance.
And thorough vetting, you discover, actually, most are incompetent.
I used to love tanking in the past but with m+ it just seems like such a thankless job. There is so much to learn and you’re almost expected to know everything about the dungeons from the get go so I can’t be bothered.
I do heal though, love healing. Healing can be hard but it’s definitely easier to just jump into a dungeon and learn things on the fly as heals.
Just let the DPS do the puzzles and mazes, if nothing happens, alt f4 from the game.
Alt F4 is your strongest ally in this game and it’s 100% Blizzard’s fault.
Or, learn how to do the puzzle yourself.
Alt F4 is your god in this game. Yeeeeeeeee boy. Leave as many keys as you can!!! Especially if you recognize someone from these forums!
Did a 4 M+ city yesterday pug. Missed 3 staring it buy 55 seconds cause we had to go back and pull 2 extra packs due to a monk who kept telling me I wasn’t pulling correctly and pulled packs on his own as well as demanded the group split up for eyes. It was a bit annoying.But it was a pug so I just went the path I knew to be correct as much as I could.
Alot of tanks usually find themselfs a guild then run with folks from said guild. I know both our main tanks only play with guildes, then i and acouple others only tank in guild groups too (im not the best and dont know the routes yet.)
Majority of people playing this game are in their 30s. Part of why the company’s insistence on “catering to new players” is so silly - there are no new players. Zoomers are playing Overwatch, Call of Duty and Fortnite.
There is a solution. Play one. No one who tanks thinks theres a tank shortage.
Pretty normal for early-on expansion issues, tanks capable of running M+ likely have their own guilds / communities / friends-list set for willing participants, no reason to really pug it unless folks are offline and I want to run something.
As participation dips within those groups they’ll look outwards to pugs.
Often times when I tanked I would only pug to fill a slot; friends > guildies > pug.
Efficiency is key when spamming M+'s so best to just run with what you know works.
If they even have the attention span for those. Brain rot gen is just watching mindless YouTube and that toilet junk I won’t say the name of. The future is dead. Lol. I think a study stated kids in that gen through COVID now have on average an IQ around 78…
To be honest I think it’s not mentally possible for new players to grasp wow.
Have to agree. I did a +3 without my healer friend. It did not go well. Tanking for PUGs has become a real struggle.
Mobility on most tanks isn’t an issue for the tanks, it’s an issue with range and healers keeping up to the far more mobile tanks. Lol
