Tanks only thread

Hey my fellow tanks, I have a suggestion for us. The community hates us because of a few people either tanking bad or dps standing in the things and blaming tanks as OP. I did alot of m keys today and I can say yeah the nerfs sting, my awesome healer has to baby sit me now way more than he probably would have. I suggest we quit queuing up for any public event i.e dungeons, mythic keys, LFR or world events. The community wanted us nerfed out of sheer spite. Blizzard seemed to agree with the whiners and nerfed us BEFORE allowing us to test in high end content. They nerfed us when we had full talents to start, some had high i lvl and we were doing easy content…makes sense. So I will be sticking to my guild and not queuing for any public event, no way will i deal with pubs and their b.s now.

ā€œTanks onlyā€ is russia’s strategy in Ukraine. It doesnt seem to be working as expected.

Maybe ā€œTanks onlyā€ isnt a good idea. Maybe that ā€œcombined armsā€ approach is better, like we’ll call it a ā€œgroupā€ or a ā€œpartyā€ where everyone works together and everyone completes the objective, and goes home alive.

but that ship sailed along time ago yeah?

no it sank, long ago. Apparently a russian sailor was smoking in the main magazines.

Also those Bear bombers. Again Ivan letting the team down

There’s a PvP solution. All the dps who whine when a tank queues for a bg, then run off and fight in the road, leaving the healers to do objectives…

3 divisions:

  • All tanks
  • All healers
  • All dps

If they using conventional roads, moving in straight line and are being tracked by commercial satellites they were asking for it and they got it good

They tried moving across the fields, but the tanks got stuck in the mud. The farmers pulled the tanks out with their tractors and hid them in their barns.

I dunno, i honestly haven’t noticed much a difference post-nerf.

Maybe cause I wasn’t pulling the entire dungeon before. Or maybe cause I’ve been getting gear upgrades.

Honestly, it’s fort week and even on my first runs I’ve been stacking pulls pretty heavily and staying alive.

yeah i was also not acting like a jack$&@ either. For my class the self healing nerfs are the big one, demon hunters also suck vs magic damage which there is a ton of it. Id like my 10% back, w.e they do to balance havoc should not also hit vengeance. I would even be happy taking some dps away from me and give me my survivability back.

Lol if you think your class sucks against magic damage, let me introduce you to Brewmasters.
My decision to main a monk in DF has been verified a ā€œbad ideaā€ by Blizzard’s decision to nerf it along with the other tanks. Heck we already got one shot by some mechanics through stagger if it wasn’t completely cleared prior to the hit. Which, stagger does next to nothing for magic damage anyway.
I wonder how many monks either got sidelined or swapped to ā€œbank altā€ status after that braindead decision. I’m entertaining going back to druid or just going with the herd on prot pala and prot warriors. But I do love me some windwalker damage… :pensive:

I may not like elves much at all, at all. But I can respect one that knows it’s place. 10/10, elf.

This isn’t going to turn out the way you thought it would.

They forgot one thing when they came up with this thread…

Also… I thought the 10% nerf across the board for tanks happens today…

So as a VDH main, they hurt. I’ve literally run into situations running a ten. Which is content I’m geared for as we finished with plenty of time… where I got deleted because I’m burning through defensives far more than I should be even compared to Slands keys. It just doesn’t feel good. Then when mobs put a 80-100% healing received debuff on you (HOV) and you’re not pulling multiple packs because you know its there… and you can’t mitigate incoming damage because your mitigation is partially healing (VDH, BDK) then yes this stings like hell. As do the spiders and bats in SMBG. I’ve been told I should have just brought a mage as apparently they just delete those packs.

Either way, I’m tired of people wanting to make tanking suck. Maybe they should tank for once.

Do more open world content. People, both Alliance and Horde, LOVE when I’m around to group up all the mobs to AoE down, especially during the storms events.
