How bad is the average tank?

Continuing the discussion from Midnight Alpha Test Development Notes:

@Linxy

On the topic of Boneshield, we’ve also reduced the number of abilities that deduct from it such as Tombstone and Bonestorm. As a tank you have a lot of things to consider in your role and adding what was essentially a third resource to spend felt like it was slightly too much.

i didn’t know taunt swapping and aiming the boss’s front away from the raid was considered a difficult cognitive task. i’d rather they keep this stuff in, for most of wow’s history tanking has been god awful boring, having extra personal mechanics to deal with is better.

considering the amount of tanks that do s1 overal in raid.

very bad

the problem with tanking isn’t the class complexity, mechanics wise tanking is one of the easiest jobs in the game , the difficulty of the role is from the social pressure.

okay, im not arguing that. im just stating the fact that theres alot of dog tanks in the game rn.
