There is now tons of content of rogues just soloing raid bosses. World bosses, bosses in ZG, MC, AQ and even Nax. I cant imagine this is intended gameplay. You just stand there and hit the boss till it dies with 100% dodge uptime. Is this really what blizz imagined for this class?
Always a pally whining when someone else does something cool.

Says the druid who is probably playing a boomie and can just literally melt things. Or is a feral and is absolutely needed in any raid. Or is a resto and is absolutely needed in any raid. Or is a tank and is absolutely good at that role, class-wise.

Wut are you even on…my class exists but isnt the one doing these stupid things
Rogue tanks are a weird niche that has the ability to solo some content which other tank classes have been able to do for a while. If you’re going to complain about rogue tanks being able to do the same thing that lock tanks, pally tanks, druid tanks, and probably shammy tanks (I don’t play horde so idk) have been able to do then don’t be mad at rogues; be mad at SoD. It has been this way for a while. Rogue tanks now just get their time to be able to do it as well.
Also, warrior tanks and the warrior class as a whole imo is the only class that can’t do anything on their own. In the essence of “all classes feeling powerful” warriors are the only ones in SoD that feel underwhelming and weak. Maybe next phase they’ll get their time to shine.

So you’re okay with 100% dodge?
They don’t get 100% dodge to my knowledge. Don’t get my wrong, it’s high but not 100%. Also, Rogue tanks get ZERO magical dampening. None. I think a physical fighting tank that has a high chance to parry and dodge is a good thing. Also, who cares? What is this taking away from your gameplay? The answer is nothing. If its solo content that someone does for fun then good on them.

Remember when shadow priests were duoing thunderan, so he got an emergency mega buff to cuck the priest players?
Nothing to do with fun and everything to do with balance.
What can prot do again?

Who cares?
Challenge runners 1 shot and cheese Elden Ring bosses all the time. Doesn’t make the game any less great.

Cool!
It’s actually a lot of setup to pull of soloing bosses in current content (yes, MC is still current until 60 is no longer the level cap; hit tables, yo).
Honey Badger, Agi scroll, Mark; if they want to min/max and are ally, single-target Kings. Can’t think of any other buffs that would boost Agility, and thus Dodge.
Then there’s clearing out the trash in the area if the fight involves moving out of stuff.
Then there’s the gearing to actually do the attempt.
I don’t remember seeing any other tank solo raid bosses such as Garr/Azuregos/Mandokir or even Razzuvious… I may be wrong.
Have you seen any proof of the other tanks doing this kind of feat?
Shamans and Warlocks solo’d Thunderaan

Dodge is being used as a synonym for avoidance. Yes with tank buffs up and the correct gear rogues can acheive avoidance cap and never be physically hit.
And their ability to do so was removed within a week of it becoming known.
I think rogue tanks are slept on. We’ve always had a rogue main tank, and they’ve felt hilariously busted compared to our other tanks. He just never dies. First week of kara, he was pulling an entire room and not taking hits. Meanwhile any other tanks overpulled one time and got clapped.
Think it helps that he doesn’t follow the rogue tank meta, and says its wrong haha.

I just want the devs to justify why this and paladins soloing kara bosses is ok, but shadow priests and shamans duoing thunderaan needed an emergency hotfix.
Some classes are allowed to have fun while others are nuked from orbit the second fun is detected.
i think that’s exactly what they imagined, what else is rogue tank gunna do besides dodge? lols
