How to get more healers and tanks

Community General Discussion

  1. Make bags drop more gold

  2. Make them drop after each dungeon for those roles (including mythics)

I really want to play my resto shaman, But I’m just not feeling like i’m getting enough for playing a harder role.

I think Shrouded was some of the most fun I’ve had doing dungeons in a while and hope that it stays like this in terms of tank durability and how much agency everybody has over their own survival.

The tank thing is mostly a pressure/spotlight thing where nobody wants to be the one to route, they just wanna follow the leader and do damage. Dps/healers are often quite rude which results in tank players preferring to premade because they can pick and choose who they play with.

That won’t be enough. Remember when the bags had a low chance to drop mounts?

I’m gonna tank anyway but I’m all for being bribed.

Didn’t play back then but that sounds GREAT. And make them EXCLUSIVE mounts

It was.

HELL NO!

I would prefer:

  1. Make dungeons and trash packs easier to navigate in order to reduce tank knowledge requirements
  2. Make tanking/healing fun and less tedious

Bribes are not effective long-term because players will keep asking for more…which is what you are doing right now.

Why not though? Don’t we deserve it for all we go through?

No, extra chances for rare mounts was more than enough.

We still seem to have a tank/healer shortage judging by the call to arms bags still popping up semi-frequently so…

I don’t tank 'cause I don’t find it fun and healer feels too stressful even if I love the idea of it and the people tend to make the experience worse [pugs, obviously].

12

Yeah but making things fun is so vague.

You give us damage people complain.
You give us healing healers complain if you’re a tank.

You give us cool down and then you get people to complain in PVP.

I’ll stick with bribes.
/sticks out palm

I prefer cash

That doesn’t mean enticing players with exclusive mounts is the way to solve it.

Clearly nothing else is working. What else is there to do?

15

Literally an infinite amount of possibilities.

Healing isn’t a harder role imo. At least not for entry level dungeons. It’s just boring to heal while other people are having fun.

I am tired of tanking though. Too many bad healers that sign up to heal but have no intention to do so or just have no sense of urgency to heal me. Had a healer yesterday that would never heal me unless my health dropped below 20%. I’m sitting there on the brink of death even after a pull is over, my health had to slowly regenerate over time between pulls. I finally died and got a Brez pretty quick thinking maybe they’ve learned their mistake but nah I was still not getting any heals. But they were dpsing the whole time which I guess is better than doing nothing

Give tanks the ability to kick out anybody who hurts my feelings.

It’d have to be a pretty significant reward to get people to deal with pugs :laughing:

I mean, either make the dungeon tank ratio equal to raid tank ratio, or stop being punishing to people that multi spec. Seems like DF is doing the latter, so I’m hoping DF has a little more tank/healer saturation.

So make people wait for more tanks?
