Tanks didn't get the memo about nerfs

Leveling through just dungeon queues for this character as it’s my alt.

Let me tell you, tanks didn’t get the memo. They are pulling EVERYTHING from beginning to 1st boss. I’ve seen so many tanks just go SPLAT. Please make it stop. :frowning:

Tanks think they’re still invincible as they were in Dragonflight, when they aren’t. Dungeons have a lot more AOE damage happening so DPS and such need heals. And tanks are just like…crazy.

Panda once said “slow down, enjoy life”

I’d really like dungeons to be a relaxing place with chill parties, but it’s all LEEEEEEEEEEEROY JENKINSSSSSS

I miss the days when people did content the way it was meant to, I feel M+ only made the GO GO GO speed rush mentality far worse.

If you don’t like it then just do dungeons with guildies if you want a relaxing pace. If you do pugs, then they’re gonna want the dungeon to go fast. Or better yet, do follower dungeons and you decide the pace.

What part of LEVELING do you not understand? You get the bulk of the XP from the random queue. Follower dungeons doesn’t give that.

I play solo.

Then I guess they gonna die.

If they die they die. No point in getting frustrated over it

Common answer: make you’re own groups

Just be patient, they will figure it out.

Or they won’t and will be endlessly entertaining!

Exactly look on the bright side finally get to watch them suffer from pulling too much rather then everyone else

I went from 60 to 70 on followers alone. That’s not an excuse.

As do i. Your point?

And you will be kicked.

Maybe a small handful of healers shouldn’t have been complaining, then.

Don’t forget, they didn’t just get tanks nerfed, they also got healers nerfed. (Talking about people like that idiot resto shaman guide writer at wowhead.)

I think if you’re in a group and the tank is charging ahead and getting themselves killed then you probably won’t be the one being kicked. But that’s not a guarantee. Don’t let anyone trick you into thinking the tank speed running ahead in new content is somehow going to ever be your fault.

Actually, I wasn’t kicked. They kicked the tank.

Yes, that seems productive.

They really should crank up the difficulty even higher, to the point where queued groups always fail. Maybe then some much-needed corrections can happen.

Geared DPS plowing through everything, no tanks or healers required.

Nerf DPS, they shouldn’t be able to survive without a tank and healer.

People could adjust. See I remember in Wrath and there were dungeons tanks did “line of sight” and DPS knew to hide/stay behind a wall.

Or Cataclysm dungeons, they were harder AND mechanics mattered, no rushing really happened back then.

This really started in Legion with M+

That was my point. Cranking up the difficulty to near-impossible in queued groups, people would either have to stop playing like idiots and expecting the other people in every group to carry them, and/or make friends, treat other people decently again, and rebuild their capacity to do groups without computer matchmaking.

I’d say it started in Cata when Blizzard caved in to the whining and nerfed everything.

More like MoP. Between heroics being stupid easy and challenge mode, the mentality’s been ingrained in pugs for about 12 years now.

Funny cause I am seeing a lot more AOE damage and DPS needing heals even when they’re being good about avoiding stuff

while some people don’t like it, i do follower dungeons for tank practice to gauge how much my gear can handle. Plus i like it because i don’t have to worry about others taking possible upgrades from me.

Meh.

We spammed Dungeons all day today leveling Alts. You just need one DPS under like 74 and you can pull everything because of the scaling.

I think tanks failed to realize that too. In a lot of my runs the DPS were like 76-79
