Overgeared Tanks Solo Instances

Oh, Brewmaster is delightful. I was doing stuff on Mythic Denathrius (and Generals, and Council…) that I could never do on the bear.

Also, bears are only still in the game because of the Ursoc’s legendary. The moment that gets removed next expansion, they’ll be back in the toilet like in BfA.

I have no comment :laughing:
But I agree.

…not to mention what they can get thru if they can stealth and keep the speed up too, lol.

Other than defending the behavior, I dont know why hes so bent on making the point here.

He’s either one of those who likes to be antagonistic and by association defend antagonistic behavior. He’s going on my ignore list.

Actually, we’re just explaining to you guys why, and how, players solo dungeons to get them done quickly.

Because that’s what was asked.

You’re the one getting all bent out of shape because you want to dictate what everybody else does in the game so that it meets with your approval.

I tank as a dk quite often. While playing one of the least mobile classes in the game. In low keys, M0, and especially leveling dungeons, it’s not uncommon to have questionable healers fall behind.

I heal on a hpally and a priest quite often. While healing as a class without much mobility, I have never had an issue keeping up with even the boldest tank. They might not always live, as not every tank that enjoys over pulling has the gear to survive it, but it’s not because I’m too pathetic to figure out that the group has moved away from the group of corpses gathered at my feet.

they posted on their very accomplished druid in response to your questioning of their experience playing druid. Sounds ignore worthy to me :roll_eyes: :roll_eyes: :roll_eyes:

Might be easier to ignore than it is to eat humble :pie:

I do think it’s trashy behavior when someone with a higher gear or skill level goes into a lower difficulty dungeon (or even LFR) and then they do stuff like this. Even worse when they are vocal about it. That being said, they have just as much right to be there, and I’m sure they are running through that dungeon because they value their time. But I still think they (and their defenders) are trashy as all hell.

You can buy mythic carries but you can’t buy class.

Again, if you don’t like how I tank leave. It’s that simple. I didn’t realize we all play this game to have a kumbyah moment, I play it for fun. Why the hell would I want to stay in a group I don’t like? Guess what? I don’t cry about it like you, I just find a new group. Life too short to sit on an internet forum and cry all day man.

Ps no one has ever complained because I pulled the entire dungeon and we finished it in 10 mins.

I think people might be barking up the wrong tree here. The problem isn’t that tanks like to solo timewalking, it’s that it’s feasible in the first place thanks to ilvl bloat. Cut the ilvl gap between top and bottom down to something reasonable and this ceases to be an issue.

So you’re not trashy if you don’t overgear an instance? That’s what you said.

Trashy is calling others trash - and that includes overgeared players calling out others in the instance. But their mere existence in that content can’t make them trashy. It’s available, they’re rewarded for it, who are you to gatekeep?

No, that is not what I said, that’s what you read, which is a you problem, and I’ll thank you to keep your problems to yourself. Peace! :v:

It’s not the ilvl bloat, it’s because you can play with all the toys from all the expansions. It was done that way by design, from the moment timewalking was created.

It’s partly that, but toys only go so far without the added power boost of the gear’s stats. If gear scaled to level appropriate dungeon blues, tanks wouldn’t survive pulling half the instance at once because they wouldn’t have the stats for it.

When every piece of gear has 3 sockets in it, you’re using a legendary Meta gem, a Wrathion cloak, two Legendaries from Legion, the most OP trinkets in history… you will absolutely survive.

I never understood why people would complain about their daily heroic grind being as fast as possible.

I find the ones who complain are … Follow bots runners.

I misdirect every chance I get as a Hunter…

For the callings or they change convent and want to change back
Is not so bad. I once had a 50k fury warrior going in as tank and well he did good DPS but can’t hold aggro. I could literally pull mobs off him as a HDH. I ended up switching to tank. In the end I told him if he wants to tank as least go in as tank spec.

The problem is youre only doing it because you can NOW.
Its really swell of you to make the healer keep you propped up 6 weeks into the expansion, then run off leaving everyone else behind the second you can.
Really selfish, self serving behavior in an M. M. O. if you ask me.

so you have to understand why i really dont give two furry squats when I hear players like yourself calling it an MMO pretending as if that actually means anything to you… know what I mean?

The only thing I ever pug is timewalking, and that’s because you can’t walk in.

I’m not having pug healers “prop me up” on anything.

and yet for someone who was so druid savvy, he didnt seem to know squat about druid play…as in how fast they can run thru dungeons.
