Uh ? What game are you talking about ?
Surely nothing Blizzard ever put out.
Nah, you’re just scapegoating him. He’s your new boogeyman.
Do you mean Ion or Holinka? Holinka’s in charge of class design, last I heard.
(Both are terrible, btw. I couldn’t believe it when they said they were bringing Holinka back, and actually putting him in charge of something.)
Holinka’s been in charge of class design for like 2 expansions.
Classes were horrible prior. Always actually.
1 single person isn’t the cause of class balance being bad in World of Warcraft, because it’s never been good.
New? Look pal this guy tanked wow since he took over in 2016. Brought us record tanking expats like bfa and sl! He’s not a new bogeyman at all! That’s seven years of this it. Oh and he took over for chilton and guess who they just brought back? Don’t think it’s just me
Show me.
And what is funny is it still means Warriors are better, lol

Ok, prior to his “taking over” as “Game director” (which isn’t really related to class balance, more like budget balance), the classes were just as terribly unbalanced.
Raegwynn was doing this stuff way before Ion took over.
Here it is.
And I don’t think anyone disagrees that prot warriors are the best tank, just using the video is a meme.

'preciate it.
Yikes.
Imagine people taking a meme run in an easy dungeon with no tank busters played by some of the best players in the run as any indication of whether there are design problems with a class.

That’s yucky. I normally agree with some of your posts but that’s a bad take. PWar getting one shot on the reg in fort keys but let’s nerf them down. That’s healthy. Let’s go SL S1 style tanking all over again.
Realistically Blizzard needs to revert the 10% nerf to all tanks but not revert for pwar fully and that’s probably good enough I’m the short term.
Yea when a prot warrior can tank a +20 with ilvl 200 that’s an issue try doing that with any other tank and tell me how it goes.
Protection warrior needs a nerf no question at all
Sure do the sender run with the same ilvl on a druid or a Brw and tell me how it went

Maybe instead of making all tanks get vaporized by trash, maybe none of them should?
Nobody liked SL S1 tanking and DF got those vibes.
I’ve been saying bears should get mark of ursol back for instance. Make tanks better and have better tools. Tanking high fort keys right now is brutal outside of a few keys.
I looked you up on RIO. Is that your main?
Could you like… not talk to me about tanks while doing those jimmy keys? Pwar melt away like nothing when you get into higher keys. Not in Court of Stars specifically which is where the naked run / green gear run memes are coming from, but TJS will delete you, RLP will delete you, HoV can be scary if you’re not really on the ball, AA has some scary tank damage at parts, etc.
Yes, PWar are superior because they can survive… but “tank living” shouldn’t be such a massive bottleneck. It’s insane. You got DPS falling asleep at the wheel but the tank is sweating is out. You can just deplete a key if you blink as a tank on a number of these keys, it is brutal my dude. All tanks should be getting buffs and other tanks should be getting buffed more to catch up.
This was NOT how it was in the beta. Stupid M0 Andies whined that tanks could pull wall to wall while massively overgearing M0s and Blizzard knee-jerked a nerf to tanks and the rest is history. Tanks should not be as flimsy as they are.

Lol here is news for you protection warrior is OP and anyone who thinks otherwise either play one and wants to stay above everyone else or they love to play a game where there is no balance and no tuning what so ever. Now which one you fall under. Please let us know.
I’m going nutty over here having so many big cds, active talents and the whole brewery worth of brews to track tbh.
So many talents that previously opposed each other are now available at the same time.
I’d like to see buffs but maybe also some considerations for merging some abilities or something, idk.
I’m OK if I get stronger and they don’t alter any abilities though. I’m getting used to it.
Blizzard showed us what they think of that idea, though, when their reaction to a youtube video about Prot Warriors being OP was to nerf the other 5 tanks across the board, instead.
All hope went out the window of anybody at Blizzard having a clue, on that day.
