Tank balance is awful and devs should be embarrased

It’s hard to look up on my phone but I’m curious what rep was like for prot warriors during NH and ToS (while current only)

They wouldn’t, but that’s not why you buff. You buff so that my guild, for example, isn’t at a massive disadvantage for using a druid tank. Or so that we wouldn’t (on some fights) just say “have the Windwalker switch to tank, it would be easier” like we did on Fetid Devourer.

This isn’t the only time that it has happened.

I get that you are upset that druids are at the bottom of the list for tanks but they spent the whole of legion on the top and everyone was rolling druid because they were so strong. That led to other classes being in the situation druids are in right now. It’s the cycle of the game, best to just roll with the punches and play another class until guardian gets reworked.

Except Blood DKs, they have historically been a top tank to bring to all content due to self heals n what nots. Especially mythic +. Yes you can do lots of stuff with any class/spec, but at the end of the day there’s still a meta and from the lowest to highest levels it will always be preferred. People just want closer balance and that’s a good thing to ask for. Stop sitting here acting like you’re somebody above all others.

Here’s the last week of ToS in 7.2.5:
Druid: 511
DK: 436
Monk: 281
DH: 180
Warrior: 164
Paladin: 155

Nighthold:
Druid: 1,733
Death Knight: 1,114
Monk: 896
Paladin: 541
Warrior: 534
Demon Hunter: 533

The disparity was much, much, much smaller in Legion. 3-to-1 instead of 20-to-1.

Why are you lying?

I JUST debunked this and you’re just lying again.

I mean… seriously, people. Put down the kool-aid.

Here are the Mythic Antorus numbers:

Death Knight: 2,613
Druid: 1,452
Paladin: 1,011
Demon Hunter: 1,001
Monk: 878
Warrior: 620

Antorus was the second half of Legion.

Explain to me again how Druids were top for “the whole of Legion”.

Explain to me again how “everyone was rolling druid”.

Look at the numbers.

Stop lying.

You are full of it. Guardian was top 3 one of the best tanks in legion for raid and mythic plus because of their magic mitigation. I dont know what game you were playing during legion but it obviously wasnt wow.

I’m showing the numbers in the post right before yours. You’re the one who’s full of it.

I have data to back up what I’m saying. What do you have besides a lot of hot air?

Obviously you aren’t reading what you are posting.

Anywho, I’m not here for a pissing contest with you. You can argue with yourself for all I care. Toodles.

He’s just salty because Guardian isn’t good right now, bet if the numbers were flipped so they were on top he wouldn’t be complaining.

lol this. And yes, I have no idea how they messed up classes this badly. It’s like they tried to do a terrible job. Was it a lack of money? manpower? catastrophic designer errors made by people who didn’t know what they were doing? i’d like to be a fly on a the wall of blizzard and find out why. At least we’d know then.

Except I was complaining during Nighthold that Warriors needed a buff to their base health and some talent changes.

I want all tanks to do well.

At first I was like, wth is a warrior posting this thread?

Then you said druid - yeah, bears are in a VERY bad way. Not only performing badly, they are booooooring. Like omg, am I not 120 yet, I can’t wait to retire this toon and play my more fun warrior/monk/dk/pally…

vdh i dunno, i did so much with them in legion i wanted a break. i hear bad things though, like you said.

STILL - it is very nice to see warriors now displacing BDKs. Tank balance is the VERY BEST now it’s been in 6 years. Finally its not just BDK and nobody else.

Warrior only outnumbers DK in M+20 though. DK is still king at +15, +10, and (by a huge margin) in raiding.

Yeah I hear that BDK gets “squishier” at super high keys while warrior is “like cheating.” So I expect in a few months, only warriors will be in the top 40 tanks in M+. Still ok with it, I am very tired of seeing only a sea of BDKs up there.

Maybe Bliz can look at how they fixed warrior - if they took that mindset to every tank, it would be awesome indeed.

It’s difficult find the right voices to listen to when there’s literally nothing but complaining on these boards.
