Remove Tanks and healers from Wow

Yeah let’s just run off whoever’s left and have to farm an even flakier playerbase

Just play follower dungeons with npcs. 30 seconds wait time. Easy.

sure lets do this what can go wrong
oh i know it will be even a bigger dps bragging with charts popping up after every fight

Man I’m looking forward to the era of the Warlock tank and Mage healer. a reckoning will fall upon Azeroth when their eyes open to the power of the cloth.

(priests are canceled for obvious reasons. You’ve had it coming since the 80’s)

as a main tank, i approve this message. It would be nice to not require us tanks or healers, let all dps go in ball to the walls and have a blast. I just made a level 11 warrior “twink” and wow lol its so fun as “dps” but still a “tank” lol so fun

I’ve been doing it since 2004. I completely agree. I hop on and heal M+ to wind down from the day… if that goes away, I’ll find another game to fill my time.

The holy trinity shouldn’t get removed.

However, I did play another MMO where if you waited too long for a tank, the game would ask if you’d like to keep waiting or queue for a 4th DPS.

How hard would it be to have such a mechanic here?

i believe someone needs to take the wet wipe below their fupa and remove the sand.

No way I love healing.

Oh how perfect that dream would be.

Except for those that join any form of content and don’t mitigate or heal themselves, then someone in the group starts insulting them etc.

This idea is bad, because it’s trying to solve the wrong thing.

Toxicity, and queues are a people problem not a game problem

Lets list the ammount of upfront problems with this terrible idea. If you have no tank and no healer well now hybrid classes are the meta. If you cant self heal you are not getting an invite. Congrats you have now once again excluded half the classes.
Blizzard would have to retune the entire game and tank mechanics for every single boss fight that has ever existed. Do you see bliz overhauling every single thing? I sure dont.
Now that theres no healer all the hybrid classes are expected to cleanse even more than before. Do you have any idea how hard it is to get a random pug dps to cleanse litterally anything? Let alone even spec into their cleanse? You telling me an average pug dps is gonna watch everyones debuffs and cleanse? Very doubtful
How about interupts? One of the main jobs of dps. Well now theres 5 dps which means it will probably be tuned up to give you double the interupts to look out for balance
This idea is bad for wow and would never work

I like how these people with low post count comes with hot takes that are actually copy paste from previous posters that were simply labeled as trolls and ignored by the community.

Even worse: in less than 30 days ago there was already a thread about this. I simply tested making a new topic “remove tanks and healers from wow” and started typing about holy trinity >> here it is the thread:

Op chose to make a new topic to discuss something that already exists.

It must be really that difficult to just be nice to each other that the only solution is get rid of the role?

Remove DPS too while we at it.

No. Old Republic did this and it’s still an unbalanced poo show.

Massive packs with random aggro scattered all over the place and bosses running all over is not gameplay anyone would enjoy.

I made this toon for the sole reason that people were complaining about a tank shortage. As I was leveling up I found myself enjoying playing as a tank. I recently went into a dungeon and highly enjoyed my role. I cannot say I was perfect and I’m sure I could have done better but doing it and having a party that was not toxic was great.

However, now you have a group of people that want to not only destroy my class (character) because they want a faster queue time? No. Reading through the pro destroy the class responses as well tells me of the outright ignorance of this. We have proof of how this is bad. Not only in other games but the basic play of this game. DPS cannot handle the damage output unless they have a toon there (tank) to mitigate the damage or another toon (healer) to help keep them alive. Each role is important. Please, for the love of the light, stop this. This will only destroy this game if done.

As someone with 6 tanks, I approve. If we remove tanks and healers we no longer need pesky stuff like

  • Dungeons
  • Raids
  • World Bosses

We can finally go back to just questing! (Sarcasm aside… your idea flies in the face of what this game means. IDC if FFXIV or SWtOR did it. This is not those.)
