Tank and healer buffs when?

Since nobody wants to play tanks and healers due to the difficulty + significantly more responsibilities when are we gunna buff them up to make them proper strong?

DPS constantly complaining about que times and clearly don’t want to just swap roles themselves cuz they know they’d have to actually do mechanics then, so why not just make the roles stronger to encourage people to actually play them more?

Stop blaming it on lack of buffs. DPS constantly complaining about queue times just need to suck it up and try a different role. They’re literally the ones causing the problem.

This was an issue even when tanks were gods that couldn’t die and try to solo bosses at 80% instead of just dying so we could clear in time.

Yeah that’s exactly why I said they need to suck it up… your argument is tired.

You said it because I did say it?

Yes, do you lack reading comprehension? Do you need me to paraphrase everything you said to link context?

I mean you are the one repeating me and saying I’m blaming it on the lack of buffs

When I literally said its a dps caused issue cuz they don’t want to do anything

So uh…

Which is why they need to suck it up… bro… I just can’t with you any more

Even if they did buff them it wont change much… A lot people dont want to sink the time in M+ in a role they dont want to raid with…

Only 2 tanks and depending on the strength of raid dps 2 to 4 heals…

Yeah, and I’m sure that you think women are the issue when it comes to declining birthrate, and not insanely overpriced maternity care, child care, and housing.

Sure, yeah, let’s blame the DPS instead of making tanking or healing more appealing.

The point is, you don’t get loosen the DPS queue bottleneck by continuing to punish tanks and healers. You loosen the bottleneck by undoing the tank nerfs and by following through on your unkept promise to make incoming damage smoother.

LOL just go ahead and keep your pathetic political takes to yourself k?

We don’t queue, cause we are busy with friends and guildies. no matter the content. What tends to keep (at least the tanks) out of M+ is how others fail to behave. They act like jackwads in normals, and then in TW, and again in heroics. At some point, tanks just stop showing up.

Wanna know how to solve the tank issue? Make the vault require 4 tanked or healed dungeons and 4 DPS dungeons. Not only will it give people some perspective about the role, but it would eliminate the toxic shortage making everyone play something other than DPS.

Idk a bunch of people on this very forum seemed very happy when they announced tank nerfs during TWW beta.

“ha ha tanks will finally learn their place and play as a team now!” - “get rekt tanks! now you’ll have to actually know how to play!”

The truth is that basically nothing changed for tanks except that mistakes are more severely punished. Amazing ! Exactly what this game needed, the pivotal role in the dungeon to be more punishing!

What is happening now is exactly what some of said what was going to happen. You take the role that has the most responsibility in a 5-man and gut their toolkit, sure that is going to bring more people to play that role right? I’m actually happy if anyone who thought this was going to be a good change for M+ is stuck in queues for hours.

I’m not sure what the bright idea is with continually raising the bar. Almost everyone I know is some 30’s something year old who hops on and screws around for fun, not an Esport hopeful who does stimulants then tries to find the ultimate gaming challenge. Lol

I swapped from my Rsham main of 4 years to playing Spriest after the first 2 weeks this season. The stress difference is so much less.

Nothing wrong with tanks and healers, people just don’t want the responsibilities that come with playing those specs. And people being people just want to go BRRRRRRR and watch their DPS climb, that’s all most people care about is numbers to make themselves feel important.
