Tanks should be viable in PvP. But they should not be unstoppable killing machines that do more damage than DPS and heal more than healers … all while taking less damage than everyone else.
If that means they need to take 67% more damage from other players, then so be it.
What else do they nerf without telling anyone? I don’t know if it’s a mistake on their part or what. Seems maybe they just forget to
post it or write it down.
I don’t believe their intentions are to deceive people but it’s possible
So, last week they took out the 10% damage reduction, then they increased pvp damage to 67%.
Are tanks really dominating the PVP scene so much? I would assume that with the severity of these nerfs… especially the bear neutering of last week… that the S tier tanks have completely dominated arena and RBGs.
If a tank read the patch notes and it doesn’t say that he is going to be taking increased damage in PvP and then plays PvP and wonders why he is dying a lot faster suddenly, they are going to think they are now doing something wrong on their end and not the fact that Blizzard stealth nerfed their roles mitigation. That is a form of gaslighting. I wonder what other impactful nerfs Blizzard is now leaving out of the patch notes due to blow back.
i cant speak for certain.
i have noticed a massive decreases in dps and regrowth heals on my feral druid. 3 mobs and i struggle a bit. thats different from a week ago before i leveled a dh.
Blizzard kind of receives feedback on things from weird sources. Sometimes it’s only a YouTuber or streamer showing off and winning in duels that makes them nerf things. Tanks could’ve been too durable in RBG’s? No clue.
