Tank Shortage - Solution?

That’s the dumbest excuse I’ve seen in awhile

The fact that raids are only 25 man with room for 2 tanks doesn’t help either. I’d be more than willing to main my warrior, but I was asked to play mage instead end game. But it ends up, there is a huge shortage of tanks so my warrior is now played a lot more.

Nah I’ll just rogue my gluteus maximus into a BG instead!

Claim that as you want but fact remains it is correct.

Them being able to raid at lvl 68 or anything the top guilds have done was WITHIN the rules set by tbc at the time of tbc. The ENTIRE point of classic tbc is to PLAY tbc. NOT to play tbc with massive changes. Duel spec IS a massive change one that dose change CORE elements of the expac. That is no longer playing tbc and is NOT the change the community should tolerate furthermore ask for.

we need LFG for dungeons.

admit it

just queue and go with incentives for tanks.

There was nothing factual about your crap post

I think that’s another reason for the tank shortage. I’d tank on my druid if there wasn’t so much responsibility to lead. I think I’ve learned how to pull groups since I had to be so careful pulling groups when I guested while leveling holy. But I have so much trouble learning the dungeon map and where to go. Some are simple but others, like ST, are pretty complicated. No matter how many times I’ve healed it I still don’t remember where to go next. If only there was someone whispering in my ear, go left, go right etc. I’d do more tanking.

On retail, players can freely switch between all specs, and there still is a “tank shortage”.

The issue is people don’t want to tank.

I would love dual spec for tanks and healers.

Just wat until the pallys get to outlands or people start their alts

Oh we are taking this very serious, give me a second to ready myself for this intense intellectual debate about a fantasy game that came out 14 yrs ago but is getting rereleased in 2021 in a time period where “ instant gratification” is running rampant, “effort” is a meme anymore, “handouts” are the normal. Please spare me your intellectual Integrity BS. I don’t have time for your self righteousness

I like to tank but I’am having problems with aggro and getting disarmed. I was full protection spec and it was easier. Now arms/prot spec and is difficult to maintain aggro. Leveling with prot spec is not fun, changed immediately.

Liars lie, that’s what they do. Whether it’s about things that are unimportant or important, liars lie. Face the obvious truth. There’s only two possibilities here. Either you lied using strawman arguments or you aren’t smart enough to understand what people are posting. Which is it?

Speccing is a gold sink the removal of which would cause massive inflation.

Ive never had a problem finding a tank

U got me Batman.

The solution is to appreciate tanks more, support them more, and let paladins and bears tank for you. Hell, try hunter pet. beggars can’t be choosers, and the leveling dungeons aren’t that hard.

The problem is self-correcting, either people will give up looking for a tank or roll a tank themselves.

Latter, confirmed

There’s no problem to solve. Better start treating tanks you meet real well, because not every person leveling as a tank is staying tank. Some just want faster dungeons, some will give up.

Even fewer will be burning their badges on tank gear. A geared and attuned tank will probably be able to extort 500+ gold to tank a heroic. The alternative for most dps will be languishing for hours looking for a tank.
