Tanks are TOO slow

I already can’t cast as it is on my warlock…let me just follow the tank and these other classes that can zip around and pound stuff to the finish line!

Come on now… I wanna move at the speed of Death… METAL!

I think it would be fine to give more out-of-combat mobility to paladin/DK

If your group is moving ahead without you then you need to look in the mirror.

So nothing changes for DKs

…. Who are you talking to? Like… I know you don’t think anybody at Blizz actually gives a spit about our opinions or read the forums, right?

Pretty sure they have an intern who visits the forum and keeps track of what is being discussed.

One of the bigger group dynamic problems the game has is between the extreme survivability and the extreme mobility of some tanks they go big head and start jumping and flying way ahead of the group.

This causes all sorts of problems for the group, picking up interrupt targets, having to heal on the move, pulling aggro on the way from a mob that’s just been tapped. And then the group gets into big trouble and the healer is out of mana from no chance to drink, but the tank is flying around just fine.

It’s a good thing threat is 5x then isn’t it? You also have a taunt. You can also use your words and tell the DH to chill. Or; don’t tank the mobs that dps pull when you’re not there. They’ll get the hint.

Or or; start moving toward the next pack just before your current one dies. DPS will be busy finishing off the mobs while you’re already half way to the next group.

The last dungeon I ran as a DK, the evoker healer picked me up and carried me everywhere.

I was mortified, grateful and deeply amused.

Pally and DK are famous for having low mobility. If you’re having such issues with the low mobility these two classes offer, why not try warrior? It is the fotm tanking spec and it has a lot more options for getting around. It might not be approaching DH or monk levels, but it would likely be a massive improvement for you.

I’ve played warrior, I have one at 70 and while I agree its more mobile its super boring to play. Basically just keep shield block and Ignore Pain up and stand there auto attacking. I don’t think I should have to play a different class to enjoy the game…

I’d like presences back and wod death advance as well
Wrath walk can go back to D2 I’m sure that undead guy misses it.

It’s all subjective! A class one person enjoys, another person might not. If you personally are not enjoying the game due to your class, try to change something. You’re more likely to get success that way than to wait for blizz’s “soon™” approach.

Plate classes are meant to be slow. The fact that they gave you guys movement ability ruined the fantasy of the game.

I can leap over three Volvos, what are you talking about?
