I went into shadowlands as a healer and holy s**t when my gear was low I really had a hard time even doing simple heroic dungeons. Most of the times it was tank’s fault rushing though the instance. I tried to improve myself and also read opinions around to understand what the situation was. I found the usual flame post with healers accusing tanks, tanks accusing healers.
Now, I honestly find the actual attitude a little mental. People just run forward, the only thing a tank is required to do is to know a path and relentlessly follow it. Why are you in a rush? You are still getting a +1 key, maybe +2. Really, what is your rush? Did your personal financial advisor suddenly called you to move millions of dollars on some stock position so that you can make billions out of it? Probably not. First, you do not have a personal financial advisor and second you wouldn’t be playing wow and trying to be a “pro” at it if you did. Your time is not more precious than anybody else’s, you are not doing anything important. You are not special. You do not deserve a f***ing thing.
Now, I can’t help but notice an evident lack of tanks this week. I know, 9.0.x has been out for a while, there are less players around, there is less enthusiasm, blah blah blah. Yet, last week, when mythic modifiers were more manageable, I was able to find way more tanks than this week and way faster. Like a lot more. Like so many more that if anybody had a different opinion, I’d say they are just lying and in bad faith.
You would naturally wonder why. I’ll tell you why, because necrotic is a mechanic that you cannot pin on the healer. Healers have no way to counter or mitigate the mechanic. It is not up to them, they cannot do st. When you get more than 50 stacks on you, healing is reduced by 100%. I could be the most skillful meta-shaman/holypala, that in normal condition poops out 20k hps to cover everybody else’s negligence, still my healing would be reduced to zero. Now, I know I am a measly druid, so not the meta-healer of the expac(have resto druid ever been at the top in non-prepatch full released content? honest question, seriously, I have no clue) and I know my raider IO is st and people will look at it to invalidate my point, but again whoever will do this is in bad faith and inside they know it.
Necrotic is entirely up to tank’s brain to understand when they have to get out, kite and let the debuff to expire, by using the tools they are provided. The only other way to mitigate it is that dps do so much damage that mobs/bosses die quickly enough so that the tank doesn’t accumulate too many stacks.
So, I actually forgot what was the point I was trying to make, but you can infer it from what I wrote. Most likely I was myself putting blames on other classes, bear with me and forgive me for that.
Bye
