Overgeared Tanks Solo Instances

Do it with a dh, warrior, monk, or druid. They do it alll the time. And frankly, it’s frustrating as hell for the rest of the group. So, nice sarcasm… That was sarcasm about sarcasm. Meta sarcasm. :wave: But hey, good job using one of the two tanks with crap mobility to try (and fail) to contradict me.

yeah…the same guy who starts speaking in tongues against the healer who couldnt keep up with 4 rooms of trash mangling the clown tank who thinks he’s a god and doesnt realize hes a cardboard prop that is only alive because Im channeling lightning bolts up his rump, lol
I like to turn off the heals for a few seconds on those guys and watch how fast their health hits 10% just to put the fear of god back into them. usually gets their attention. lol.

Exactly. and dont expect them to figure it out. this has been a discussion that Ive seen inhere 1000 times since i started playing.
I tanked one time with VDH and REALLY ticked off a healer. I wasnt trying to go to fast, but evidently I was. I just stopped tanking with VDH entirely over it. I play for the team…not myself.

It’s zero fun and very high in frustration when the tank takes off so quickly the warlocks, priests, paladins, deathknights, and other slow classes are 300 yards behind. It’s not a matter of gitgud, it’s a matter of tanks having way too high of mobility compared to some classes combined with the mentality of some tanks of “ihavetopulltheentiredungeonandepeenmyepixskilzzoomzoomzoomzoomzoom.”

they think if THEY are having fun thats the ONLY thing that matters…screw 4 other players who are there to have fun as well.

Bears don’t even have high mobility unless they use stampeding roar, which affects the entire group.

This is why queued M+ content will never work, the difference in mindset between efficient player and roleplayer are too huge.

DH is the one Ive seen be the worst. Druids seem to often want to run in bear form, in my experiences, and end up lagging behind a lot. just what ive seen personally.

I dont mind that they do it sometimes so much as their attitudes and then seeing the same attitude in here over it. Kind of a turnoff to hear them talk about muh MMO’z then turn around and behave in a way that isnt every conducive to MMO game play.

Frankly, there really isn’t. Timewalking, and Normal dungeons, are made ridiculously easy by Blizzard on purpose.

Anything that’s ridiculously easy can be easily solo’d.

And Blizzard then bribes people at the high end of the gear spectrum to run this easily solo-able stuff, to carry people. Blizzard has said they do it to “smooth out the runs”, as they phrased it. It’s the same reason they put augment runes in LFR.

The result of these 3 things together, is entirely predictable. The solutions are to make the content much more difficult, or remove the bribes.

but they can swap to cat form very easily and move pretty fast.

Callings, quests, augment runes all exist.

But NO! That tank that is overgeared is there to flex on strangers out of pure EGO! :rofl:

Talk about wearing your insecurities on your sleeve. :upside_down_face:

Yes, but only for a short time, base cat form movement speed is only 30%, which is not faster than the mobs chasing after them.

If a Druid tank is grabbing all the trash, and running along with it in cat form, then he REALLY overgears the instance and there’s just no excuse for him NOT running everything to the end and aoe’ing it down, at that point. It will probably all die in 3 seconds.

As an overgeared Tank, I do heroic dungeons for quests/callings and for runes. I don’t need heals or extra dps, leave if you want to take an hour and do all the mechanics… I will solo it on my own just fine, but If you want free gear/quest completions feel free to tag along. Just don’t pull S*** you can’t tank, because I will let you die.

Moving the augment rune rewards to the difficulty level that regularly requires them would make a lot of sense.

But Blizzard won’t do that, because they deliberately stick them in the easiest content for reasons explained above.

I tanked as a Cutting Edge bear tank for many years until I shelved him at the end of the last expansion, yes I know what I’m talking about.

You aren’t going to outrun a dungeon full of mobs chasing after you, at base cat form speed.

Do you play druid…like, ever? They have dash, and increased movement in cat form. Which they like to do. A lot. Usually trailing a bunch of mobs and the entire group far behind them. Typically they’ll wild charge at max range, dash, and stay in cat form, sometimes long enough to wild charge a second time. Warriors like to heroic leap and charge then keep going into the next group. They all have the capability of leaving a lot of classes pretty far behind pretty quickly. If you haven’t seen it, you probably don’t pug many dungeons.

Really? You’re doing a pretty good job of fooling quite a few people here.

Hi. Ignore the current gear, he’s just a crafter this expansion. But feel free to look through the long history of raid & dungeon achievements.

Cause I don’t want to hang out with people like you? It’s called I’m free to play with who I want how I want. You go head and play it your way, I just won’t be playing with you.

IF Im overgeared…guy…yeah…I WILL stay in cat form and run right thru.
If Im not, then I shouldnt be pulling out of the healers 40 yard range in the first place, now should I, lol

lmao…queues to join a GROUP in an M M O, says hes there to play for himself.
I love it when the expansion is new when this attitude gets you wiped and kicked, lol

I always felt weird that the moment you swap to BrM in SL, they no longer become the meta tank.

Even in the next patch there seems so many gems that does %hp based damage/shield, which will benefit bear somehow.
