Just don’t make them immortal livelords. The current patch tanks take 50% more damage and actually feel like they die, just most of their damage blows or their toolkits aren’t very good.
If tanks just functioned as a dps with less damage and more utility idk why people would still cry. Every game is MLD or has a Lock on it psure that’s less fun to face then a tank spec is.
Counter argument- tanks should not be allowed in arena period. Their toolkit is designed to absorb damage and take blows from dangerous internet monsters. So whenever there is a mechanic that they can exploit to prop up their damage or function as an offhealer, they become an easy answer to those who aren’t very good at actual pvp.
Tanks should not be in arena
yo mate tanks are for the streets.

Couldn’t agree more. They were literally designed for PvE in mind. They were not designed to interact with other players. Particularly when they come equipped with insane utility like multiple kicks, CCs pressure and off heals.
There is no place for tanks in arena period.
Prot warrior would actually be the highest skillcap spec in this game if thunderclap spam wasn’t a thing. If you saw how much stuff that spec can do it’s insane.
intervene, charge, bolt stun, aoe stun, aoe fear, leap, mass reflect, root spam, another charge if you talent it that’s also a knockback, shouts, and plenty other stuff they have
Yea man no ones saying tanks don’t take skill. But their necessary skill level was designed for pve and only pve in mind. You cannot have it both ways
From the streets did she emerge and to the streets she will return
And I say unto you “She is for the streets.”
So be not weary when she must return from whence she came.
remember double healer prot pally 3’s in wotlk? lol
I think tank/dps/dps comps would be fine
haha? ur almost a month late on the april fools joke
Tanks should be required to Que for 3’s so that way all 3 roles are utilized. All PvP should be balanced around the 3 roles and require Tank, Heals and Dps. Double Dps shouldn’t be viable. That would be some amazing PvP. Then add in some 5v5 or 6v6 for Esports. SL would be golden for PvP.
This is completely untrue because PvP wasn’t part of the original game design. All classes were designed for PvE only in mind. With that said it logically makes no sense to have a battle where you don’t have a Shielded warrior battling on the front lines protecting Dps and Heals from taking the brunt of damage. All battles would be lost without these season fighters fighting up front!
actually shut up its so tilting to read what u type
I think Blizzard should keep it simple and balance tanks like dps — same dps, same survivability, and same utility.
We tend to enter imbalanced territories when Blizzard tries to do unfamiliar things like balance tanks as a dps but with less damage and more utility.
Ok PFC
Does ol sarge know u mouth off on a video game forums
If they weren’t designed to “interact with other players” they wouldn’t have pvp talents to begin with
U mean like they are now? The tank specs that dont do damage have good utility outside of maybe bm monk
SWTOR is the only MMO that I saw do tanks right in PvP.
Destro warlock tanks don’t take 50% more dmg and they don’t die. Nice game blizz
Tanks should be viable in all forms of the game. Or sucks choosing a spec and then being locked into only PvE, no wonder tanks are in short supply.
They don’t even need to be top tier they just need to be viable. The 50% extra damage is way over the top. Especially in BGs where you have multiple players on you.
