The who is the community as a whole, the ideas and thought process enacted by the people running high level M+ and Mythic raiding trickle down to the average player to have to follow suite.
Depends on the tank and their class.
Nothing should really be able to rip threat from a bear or DH, warriors don’t have very good aoe threat so it takes them a bit longer if you have someone going ham.
Also depends on the DPS class. A warrior going ham is way more likely to rip threat than a warlock going nuts.

Most average players don’t do high end content where it really matters. You might have a few try hards at average level content but they don’t speak for the whole community.
I’ve done up to 18 mythic plus last season and not once was healer or tank damage complained about.
Don’t confuse a few try hards for the whole community.

Make passing the tank in threat give a stacking -5% DPS debuff for 2 mins.
Hides from DPS Chads

Apply the same debuff when DPS stand in bad and we have a winner.
I can only speak for myself and my experience in M+ has been complete toxicity ( and these are just low level keys nothing higher than a 5) Tank doesn’t know the routing everyone leaves, Healer doesn’t dps everyone leaves, dps die from pulling threat or standing in bad healer/tank leave.
Again I can only speak for myself but M+ as a whole has been nothing but a toxic fest for me since it was introduced.

Agree with this and Blizzard should add a baseline threat meter as well. Threat makes group content interesting.
there is a built-in threatmeter since cataclysm i believe. at the top of the enemy portrait. Turns red when you pull aggro.
THERE IS?! Oh my lawd I’m outta touch. Maybe it’s because I never use the baseline frames

I always ask that question lol. They need to revisit the threat table again. Some tanks it’s fine. But for alot dps shouldn’t pull things off you when you’re actively hitting targets and used 3-5 gcds on it
He just wants to be told he’s right.

I’d tank more if I could be a glorified cardboard assassin

So you haven’t had a single normal experience? All your mythic plus runs have been filled with toxicity?
Because threat still exists in the game.
This has been many times already.
sounds like you are doing something wrong.
in very short, its a system to make sure the tank is doing anything.
just don’t lose threat.
I think I’ll just avoid tanking.
Probably best if you cant tank properly.
Enjoy your queues.
“I don’t have any burst threat for this pull. Please wait for 3 seconds before using Spear of Bastion.”
“Understandable, have a nice day.”
It’s that easy. Just did a run where a pull when a bit off-the-rails and I had to use a ton of resources for it, and then didn’t have anything to rip on the next pull, so I just asked them to chill out… and it was completely fine.
Expecting DPS to hold back on every other pull is not realistic, but like, if once in a dungeon you need that to happen… then say it.

Stop pretending like that’s why you aren’t tanking.
