Still a tier better than Brewmaster.
But they have been altering the talent trees. Moving talents around and swapping them out, mist just got ride of bonedust for our old artifact.
Not saying they are doing a good job, heavens know I would like to not feel so fragile as brew compared to some other tank.
Everyone says DF is so good tho I don’t understand?!?

Ok and? Who cares about the next expac when its basically 2 years away.
What about bear huh, bear has been trash essentially sunce bfa. 1 season in sl was all bear had and during that season all tanks were generally even because that was the best tank balance this game has ever seen.

It’s not good conversations. Twitter is also where CS tells you the reason you DC for taking off on a Dragonriding mount is because of your ISP.
That’s gross. Incarn thrash spam is pretty much the one thing that made bear special in its own way.

Honestly, Warriors should be the worst tanks because they have no magic to draw from unlike everyone else.
The current top bear in the world has only a slight amount of IO more than me. That means either that there is functionally zero loyalty to the class by anyone anyone good at the game, or the the spec is in shambles. Considering how almost every other class/spec in the game has at least some number of loyalists, I’m leaning towards “in shambles”.
Warriors have atlas strongman super-powers. Not magic, but just completely breaking the limitations of what should be physically possible by just placing mind over matter (which is in some way a sort of form of magic, circumventing the laws of nature by just being that damn stubborn).

Yea but I feel like they’re swapping stuff around hoping this looks better instead of saying ok this is the class spec design and let’s build out the talent tree around what we want it to be.
Bear is right there with you on fragility in high keys. Their final 2 talent rows are beyond disjointed and confusing too.
Goodness, Twitter? That cesspool? I don’t use Twitter any longer and can’t imagine why Elon purchased it in the first place since he totally bombed it completely.
So if Bliz wants me to communicate with them via Twitter, not going to happen. When I had cable connection which constantly caused me problems, I just submitted a technical ticket with my router information per there support pages.
They responded via that method just fine, why are they not still using it? I don’t know since I ditched cable and now have fiber instead which is so much better for me.
Ok do explain as to how bear isnt bad when they are the least tankiest tank and dont have any unique utility.
There is a reason why they are just not seen in higher keys at all.
I think what hurts the most is that they have been active. Usually we’d wait entire months of bs to finally get some fixes. But mechagnome racial being completely forgotten, mages still being complete butt to play, the inquisitor/soulkeeper affliction fiasco and rsham nerfs (???), it becomes really hard to have hope on the balance team.
I healed a bear once this xpac and he got deleted 3 straight trash packs with tunnel healing on him. Your spec is dead. This is unacceptable. I can’t think of a niche where you would ever bring a bear.
Warriors were given a lot more sustain this expansion. I fully agree they’re strong but I won’t advocate them being nerfed. Instead buff the others.
I’d put the stamina buff back on DK’s that was taken away last expansion I think it was?
I’d put the dmg reduction back on monks.
What was the magic mitigation in Legion that turned druids into the best tank in the game by a country mile? Maybe bring that back in? Or buff mastery and frenzied regen? Even after they took out the magic mitigation spell for bears they were still A tier.
Paladin, its versatile but by no means A tier. I think they need something in the form of added block value. Playing paladin right now is like using all your buttons to gain enough stats to be uncrittable via defense rating stacking pre cata. You need to maintain 50% block and then proc your parry buff and wait don’t forget about dodge! Very much an A tier versatile off tank but not a main IMO. No idea how to fix this other than smoothing out HP generation by making shield throw generate again.
Ah, I was looking for the asterisk for this whine.
Having no mitigation for magic damage outside of Barkskin or a 3 minute cooldown is unacceptable. Play Bear on Liu Flameheart and then play literally any other tank and it isn’t even a comparison. The bear almost gets oneshot by the tank buster (which also puts a heal absorb) while every other tank has SOMETHING they can press for it.
It’s not like they can heal through it like DK since Regen is horrendously bad and on a massive CD. DK can at least pool RP for the ones they can’t AMS and then double Death Strike and be back at full in two globals. Regen heals the amount of one of those Death Strikes over time and is on a 30 second charge cooldown.
care to provide any other explanation?
