Tanks are TOO slow

Ever since blizzard started adding so many different classes with insane movement abilities its getting really hard to enjoy tanking. It started with Monk and their ability to roll and dodge all over the place which is almost exclusively used to forward roll into the next pack while I’m still running there but it didn’t stop there. In fact it just got worse.

After that they added demon hunter which can obviously dash all over the place along with being able to ground hop/fly to be much faster over distance than most other tanks. I will stop to make note that both of these classes DID add a new tanking spec with the same vein of movement but failed to address the lack of that similar movement speed in other tanking classes.

Finally, the worst and most offensive addition yet… Evoker. This classes movement is head and shoulders above others. Not only can they move forward as fast as demon hunter but they can also dash side to side as well!!!

I’m done.

I can’t stand this type of gameplay any longer as its completely ruined my class fantasy of being the lead bruiser/tank that pulls mobs and stands on the front lines for my group. Instead I’m constantly just trying to catch up with the rest of my group while divine steed is on cooldown for 45 more seconds and they’re all standing there waiting on me.

ITS TIME TO WAKE UP, BLIZZARD! If you want to add classes that have this type of mobility to the game, you need to give the same mobility to other classes, especially tanking specs. I need to be able to get to the group and pull before a demon hunter can go “???” in chat and pull for me, forcing me to make up 130% aggro to pull the mob back off of them. I’m tired and sick of this kind of gameplay and its completely ruined wow for me.

Hover isn’t particularly fast. It’s just on a very short CD.

That’s all folks need. An even faster tank to chase down. I hope some of the damn foot armor starts dropping with wheels on them.

I think I could look pretty fashionable riding a Vespa around an instance.

Let’s give it a shot!

Solution: All characters are forced to RP walk within instances.

No thanks, I really don’t want to have no ability to get away from a tank in pvp. You can reroll if you want that. I don’t play DK b/c there’s basically no movement at all with that class. If you want movement play a different class.

Paladin/DK are probably the only truly immobile ones.

Prot Warrior is BY FAR the most mobile spec in the game and it isn’t even remotely close. 2x Charge, Shield Charge, Intervene, and Heroic Leap (with Bounding Stride) is absurd.

The result is that their overall movement in a dungeon is much higher than mine with Divine Steed, regardless of how “fast” it is.

BM monks, and Vengeance DH’s are tanks. They also move fast, so Blizzard did give movement to tanks.

yep…same here…slowest class in game, and it makes zero sense that we move slower than everyone else. zero

I love playing my BDK, cuz she doesn’t die, but I HATE the slow movement, and the takes forever to kill ANYTHING crap.
