Sludgefist, Hungering Destroyer, most M+ mobs… the list is growing of overtuned melee damage… not fun being a tank right now.

Artificer and Hungering Destroyer on Normal are hitting Tanks for 7k on average, worse if they crit. Not fun.
why are tanks getting crit?

They don’t get crit. Hungering hitting for 7k is not bad (if it was the real number its not unlike dragonfel claims and even paints a vary bad picture as melee hit amount is not the only factor that matters not even close) the first boss on heroic is 14k melees hungering on normal being 7k is not bad at all.
Would also be vastly better if people used correct numbers not numbers they pulled out of thin air to make it sound like its large. 7k at hungering attack rate is not large at all in fact if tanks got hit for only that amount it would be a walk in the park.
On normal hungering destoryer hits for 14-15k avg hit this is on par with the screakwing on heroic. As hungering is still a early boss and has other stuff going on also him hitting for as much on tanks as the first boss in heroic that has less raid damage going out at the same time dose seam high.

These numbers where all taken from raids with 20-25 people to keep the sizes compairable.
Artificer only hits tanks for a avg of 9k for a later boss in normal this is quite reasonable and not high at all compared to other fights if your looking at only the melee swing size. Once again showing the person above just quoting swing size numbers and the incorrect number to boot is jsut bad. The prob with him is he swings at twice the rate as most bosses making that 9k effectively the same as 18k when compared to hungering. But as hes a later boss and there is only melee swings no additional effects like overwhelm the tank damage is more reasonable thou mabye a bit high.

These numbers are further post mitigation so they further changed based on tank your talking about eg monks on art get hit for 16k vs that 9k on a dk shown. Just claiming some number out of thin air with no content is rather meaningless. while if your going to do that DTPS by x class would be the number that has value. While that number only has value when compared to a boss you would call “reasonable tank damage”.

In m+ Just use CC on particularly dangerous packs, that’s been our solution. Either that or kite your butt off.
