Tanks as dps on beta

Very good should get better comps this way.

Soft inserted into DF. There should be a build that does competitive single target Raid damage. Then in AoE they are king.

Tried to confirm, was in que for nearly 2 hours. Will try again tomorrow.

Going to be a huge problem getting queues because I don’t think healers are going to like this mode.

Yeah I agree that playing with tanks is trash, but overall I think it’s a healthier way to do it

3v3 shuffle with no healer is just pain for dps

Damp stacks pretty quickly in solo shuffle, so tank games aren’t as long.

Just going to point out if blizz puts tanks in as dps spots you can’t get two teams as tank/dps/healer on each side. You will max only get 1 tank per 6 characters in a shuffle. If not, two rounds will be healer/tank/tank and you can queue that.

Because one might occasionally have to heal a tank? That’s probably fine, and I imagine the bigger thing influencing healer participation is going to be the degree of agency they have over their teammates survival.

could it be the legendary murk return in disguise?

ya that’s correct

Not sure how I feel about this personally, unless there is a resurgence in healers the que times for solo que as a dps will be horrendous. The only time I’ve ever hated queing into a tank was when it was healer + tank + dps, the games just last forever and are annoying as hell to play. At the same time the dampening in solo shuffle will start a lot sooner so that may not be as much of a problem and this change would most likely completely kill tanks off from solo que in general as I would imagine they would most likely just be there to feed points.

dudes a clown lmao

OP very fair point.

Fantastic change to Solo Shuffle. Tanks considered as DPS.

We already play against Priest Healer/Prot Paladin/Warrior. Not much different from now.

On the flipside, DPS Queue Time is going to be atrociously long. Actually even tank Queue time.

time to learn how to heal, you dime a dozen dps

queuing up my spriest alt and ele alt

give mop mw back and we’ll talk

you take your sinful dematerialization and orb botting out of here, good sir!

On second thought, there is no disadvantage for hybrids to heal. They won’t lose any rating they gain from playing their dps specs.

As long as hybrids are willing to give a chance and branch out, it might work. Faster queue times might be a good incentive when trying to gear up.

atleast they changed it thats cool, can you get 2 tanks though?

lol you see that’s the big question. if they don’t limit how many tanks can exist in a single solo shuffle then there’s a real and scary possibility of there being 2 healers… and 4 tanks.
