Opening boosts to Blood Elves will fix Horde tank problem

Right now on horde we have access to warriors and feral tanks who have Tier 2/3… both are not optimal

The majority of the blood elf paladins are potentially still weeks/months away from being outlands tank ready

If they just open up boosting (or faction server transfer) then we can fix the tank shortage over night most likely

hell… i have a full BiS tank set on my 60 paladin in classic right now sitting unused because I can’t transfer him to the Horde… and would in a heartbeat to just get off a pvp server and onto a different faction

Rolling a tank will fix your personal tank problem.

Guilds have what… 2-3 tanks per 25 raiding people?
It is only maths.

There are so many tanks and people will be left out, unless kitties, rets and arms/fury warriors start tanking.

I can’t wait for all the noobs that rolled prot pallies to realize that they will more than likely not be needed in raids for tanking by any guild.

yeah but they can turn around and sell boosts/farm gold with them … so there’s really no loss in having a paladin in TBC. Kind alike having a mage in Classic

yeah man, I’ve been thinking to myself that we need more boosters and low level dungeon farmers in the game. It’s like I look in LFG and can’t find a booster anywhere

Lol it won’t though. There will never be enough tanks.

Cant transfer from pvp to pve, or did they recently change that?

11

Roll a tank. Be the change you want to see.

12

Give me these bears, pls. I will take all of your bears.

Removing the twig people would remove my eye problem. I think we should go with this one. Baa

You have always been able to transfer from PvP to PvE, it was only ever PvE to PvP that was restricted. I don’t know if this restriction is still in place.

15

People rolled paladins to tank in TBC? LEWL. They’re passing up when shock’a’dins were apex predators top tier until the nerf.

16

Blood elves are too frail to tank.

17

What’s with the paladin hate? I always liked them in dungeons and we even raided with a prot pally when TBC was current.

Tanks are rare because its taxing to play one. Especially when they have to deal with people who do not follow instructions and make the role even more difficult.

Befriend one and treat them well, follow their kill order, if they say wait for a tick to DPS, then you wait.

This right here is the real root of the problem. The reason tanks might be hard for some to find is that most good tanks do not PUG. My guild has plenty of tanks and every one of them refuses to run anything that is not guild lead. Why? because most players treat tanks like garbage, they refuse to listen to them, think they know better than the tank, do not listen to kill orders, try to pull for the tank, and refuse to allow them the time they need to establish aggro.

It is a player-made problem.

Stop complaining about the problem and be part of the solution. If you’re upset at the lack of tanks then roll a tank yourself
