Extreme Tank shortage

Yeah interrupts cc mechanics dispells they all matter. We all deal with toxic turds.

almost every dungeon has a mechanic that isnt seen in heroic. its not a timing thing its a doesnt exist thing.

it wasnt the devs that were complaining it was the playerbase.

up to mythic level gear it isnt the best way to get gear other than tier.

yea i dont know why they dont leave this in. its an awesome quality of life mechanic.

congrats you just made raiding an absolute hell to recruit for without actually helping the issue other than forcing people to raid tank when they dont want to.

You also gotta do mechanics as a tank, interupt, grab the extra 2 packs the hunter made friends with, ect. Tanks also need to pay attention to healer cdā€™s so you know how big you can pull. Some tanks also offheal (prot pally/Bear) so they also are "partial healers"as well and have healer mechancis to keep in mind as well. We also cant forget utility and kiting either. Tanks also have a dps rotation/prio list and their rotation matters too, in addition to resource managment (esp on blood dk) Ive surpassed a few dps, got my blood to hit for 1.5mill dps before :smiley: and im not even key pushing yet

The type of tank you described might be able to do a delve, but tanks are more than just meatballs,

Guilds have too many tanks.

I find it amusing that people that cry about no Tanks but they dont tank themselves

according to who? because sure the mythic guild i am in has plenty of people who can tank but my casual guild? has 3ā€¦out of thirty raiders and one prefers not to tank just will incase one of the other tanks step out.

Iā€™m tanking right now. These arenā€™t as bad as I was fretting about route wise. Itā€™s pretty much just hold W.

try recruiting one of the many tanks looking for a guild, and not turning away tanks that want to tank because roster is full.

What happens when you threaten the tanks with vote kick.

People: ā€œIf you dont perform how i like then i vote kick you.ā€

Tanks: ā€œOkay problem solved i just wont Queue.ā€

Also People: ā€œAww man there is a tank shortage.ā€

People want the good tanks, not the bad ones.

I feel we have a shortage of non-extreme tanks and a surplus of extreme hunters and monks.

Or is this about what happens to tanks when they get cold? Iā€™m pretty sure thatā€™s not ā€œshortageā€

Player created problem. Perfection wont be seen in lfd,lfr. You will be waiting for days for that perfect tank.

Is tanks are tired of the crap fest that is pugs. Healers that canā€™t heal. DPS that think they are tanks. DPS that canā€™t DPS. DPS that dies to many mechanics over and over. The list goes on and on.

Youā€™re an idiot if you donā€™t think the players are the biggest problem.

Like actual freaking idiot

Iā€™d love to see that for Iron Dwarves from Northrend, if they ever become a playable race.

So having just said that, I would think most people would feel forced to play that race if they wanted to tank. Blizzard would have to balance it carefully.

grats now you just kicked off several people from the dps role and made an already oversaturated role even worse. your literally trading problems without actually solving anything like raid isnt where there is a massive tank shortage its m+ putting more tanks into raid doesnt solve that. even if you did get that change just because someone raid tanks doesnt mean they can preform in keys. the roles are completely different between content. so still a tank shortage in the content where its needed.

Many would tank if people were patient and willing to let them make mistakes.

But mistakes is even relative - it feels like people are looking for reasons to scold a tank.

Really, if there are more tank roles available for raid, there would be more tanks in game.

Putting more tanks into raid helps a lot.

If you want healer shortages, make 20 man raids 2 healed.

Says the guy who canā€™t realize the math doesnā€™t add up. We have had tank and healer shortages since the game launched
