Or a ya-know. We can have both? Our 15/month should be used to actually make gameplay content and not bobby kotik’s yatch down payments

Not every hero class needs a tank spec. Its nice to not have a new class thats melee for once. Do we really need another tank? Blizz has a rough time balancing the ones we have now.

Here i thought it was the lack of cosmetic glyphs, bugged ear jewelry, the two missing shoulder armors in dragon form, and bugged helms for visage.
As far as third spec? Tank is not what i would go with. I’d rather see a really mobile ranged spec. But to be honest, before any third spec, i want to see Devastation get the same love Preservation was made with.

The amount of reach for this new class to be a tank is just plain troll sad. Not every race needs to be in every class. You are the kind of people who want all classes all races and it ruins muh immersion.
Stop ruining this game.

agreed really… I mean also lets look at:
DK, Monk, DH. We get Melee, Melee, Melee. Tank/DPS, Tank/Heals/Dps, and Tank/Dps…
So not only did they release a New tank with every new class they’ve all been melee…
THIS class is a welcomed change from that trend and having a new healer to mess with is fun.
It also seems from a developement side tuning a class with two specs they run into less problems than those 3 specs, not Tank/DPS/DPS, classes BUT the ones with all 3 trinity specs of Heals/Tank/Dps

I think the big misunderstanding, with some of the comments, isn’t anything to do with mechanics. Why can’t a dragon, who supposedly has mastery over all five aspects, manage to tank?
I think the idea here was that you said “I don’t buy it” but you literally bought the expansion as evidenced by you posting from an evoker 
I don’t think anyone has ever claimed no one could come up with a tank spec. Blizzard has simply decided a tank spec is not what they wanted for Evokers.

Sounds like you need to put your wager in against Microsoft since you got it figured out and they don’t.
Can anyone just play the game and not b**ch about every turn blizzard takes with their own medium?
Man, why do priests have two heal specs and not a tank spec. Dh need a healer spec too. Wah wah.
Overall my two cents is why are we getting classes with two specs back to back? You could designed a more ranged based, demonic/fell fire based demon hunter for a caster/range option. Hell it’s called a demon HUNTER give some them a gun or like fel demon servants bound to their tattoos from what they’ve devoured. Your stables are limited to the space on your body. As for evokers, same thing. They wear raised by netharion, and both his uncorrupted sons are literally here as well and quite involved. Because you’re telling me this highly advanced race of dragonkin can’t use the claws they were born with as weapons? Like seriously only the wingless ones learned how to swing? Never mind that the few black dragonflguht abilities you do get are… defensive cds. So again, why not earthwarden spec? Have a basic claw attack, a cleave claw attack, breath weapon can give armor to allies in range or shields, you have several repositioning tools, you can harden scales for a defensive, like imagine it with a techtonic attacks that shift groups like think boomkins typhoon but not coming from your model. Like think of something like two walls of stone come and forcibly crash into each other forcing everything in between them to come together. Good if you could talent that to stun so you can use a lvl 3-4 fire breath. Look just saying they arent living up to what we’ve gotten in the past, you could release dks originally as 3 dps and 3 tank specs all in one which condensed in cata to two dps and 1 tank, you followed up with dps/tank/healer leather wearing monks. Im pushing for a mail tank eventually. Why every tank gotta be fullplate or s&m right now?

To make sure it’s clear, I am not saying a tank spec wouldn’t work for Evoker. I’m not saying Blizzard shouldn’t have come up with a third spec of some kind.
What I’m saying is that both decisions need to stem from that spec fitting the class design, not something that should be shoe horned in because of the current state of specific roles across all classes. It would be a very restrictive design space to put a spec that doesn’t fit the vision for the class, even if that spec may help plug a hole in the current meta.

No it’s called balancing something they already struggle with as for a tank Dracthyr are pure caster and a caster tank would not work in WoW at all also not to mention that there’s been 4 new classes since release this is the FIRST one to be a pure caster and have no tank spec at all
The entire point of the class is to have another caster in the game and clear out a little of the melee bloat. There are more than enough melee options to pick from now.
Wrathion took one hit from a rock and was out of the fight, I don’t think the Black Dragonflight is capable of tanking.
This is always my reply every time one of these threads come up. This is the first new class in the history of the game that is ranged and some posters are acting like it’s the end of the world. Get real people.
I think DH’s could have had a good ranged spec. Fel blasts from the eyes. Glaive tosses. Would have been fun and cool.
you can have 60 per server 60 per account.
You can’t be serious right?
The last 3 character release expansions:
Wrath: Tank/DPS/DPS (melee)
Mop: Tank/DPS/Heals (melee)
Legion: Tank/DPS (melee)
DF: DPS/Heals (ranged)
… there is absolutely no need for another tank nor melee. Blizzard hit the mark right on the head. Move along troll.
