You now have the rest of the first phase (we’re 3 freaking days in), and then 26-59. Months and months of being able to tank. Then of course the max level raids.
This is a pretty silly complaint.

It’s very bad game design to have a key component for a classes spec locked behind a raid in order to complete it. Raid runes if anything should be cosmetic changes optional but COOL things you can get to show your prowess as a player. Important parts of a spec shouldn’t be locked behind raid content.

This rune was the only reason I wanted to play SoD. My metamorphosis warlock in MoP was the most fun I’ve ever had in WoW.
To now find out that my leveling journey is over before I even get a chance to use it, kills any desire I had to play.
I wanted to have fun with it while leveling, you know, the biggest part of the game. By the time I get it, it’s no longer useful.

Just adding my feedback for the devs, this and the other tanking runes for the new hybrids being locked behind late game things was just a bad idea. Clearly people wanted to tank early dungeons and things with friend with the new hybrids and it would have been a lot of fun. Locking it to the end game content for this phase was just very very bad. Make it tough to get sure, but make it possible early not the very end.

From the outside looking in (I’m not a warlock player) it could be seen that way. But I’m not clear why Blizz chose to do this to not just warlocks but other classes with raid requirements as well. May be the thought is non-raiders don’t need these things but I don’t believe that’s it.
I’m trying to empathize and I honestly believe it would be helpful if Blizzard went a bit deeper and explained their intentions. In the meantime I don’t want to trivialize player concerns.
The sobbing is real.
Agreed. Blizzard L on this one.

you do realize that once you get it… you have another 35lvls to use it plus end game raiding and new raids, right???
sigh some people just want everything now and cant give any effort.

And yet, you will accept it, or you won’t have your rune.

its not about the effort, what freaking effort is there in classic wow lmao
this is supposed to be a new version of classic, wich clearly is not really at all, my goal was to be able to lvl and tank dungeons i already tanked so many times on a new class and see if i liked it enough to play sod

This is absolutely crazy.
I have to level 8.8% of the total journey to 60 in order to use the warlock tanking rune? I absolutely cannot believe you Blizzard.
I am calling my HOA first thing in the morning. I am just so freaking mad right now.
This is racism.

Why did Blizzard decide it was cool to advertise warlocks being able to tank only to have it locked behind a raid that they’ll have to run as DPS the first time.
Why did shamans get all their cool new tanking tools for free.

you get the rune at 25… It is probably one of the most important and biggest runes in game for any class, yet you guys are upset you cant tank 3 dungeons with it.
asinine. and that is coming from someone who played MoP and loved lock then. You guys are acting like 25 is where we will be for the rest of the season and it ends in a week.
Have you seen the detailed quest lines they have made for these things??? divine storm for pallys is a raid group thing for the whole questline almost. You need to unlock the rune to use it, this is the quest line. Accept it. You do the raid ONCE. ONCE. Then you can tank all the rest of the year on all the other content.
Becuse they have the ability to tank? Lol.
Like both sides are crying this one.
The simple ground is have a minor rune for tanking benefits and then completing the raid gives meta.
So if you join in later good luck getting the rune to be able to tank, locking anything behind a raid thats going to get invalidated after a month is an incredibly bad decision.

Pump the brakes, dude.
i simply want to test meta tanking and see if its fun to bother playing another version of classic i played twice, vanilla and classic, but i’ll just skip it and go back to retail
then give up and do that… no one is asking you to stay and play the game the devs made. Plenty of other people are completely ok with their runes and the way they work, are they perfect? no. but this is beyond ridiculous. You want the rune handed to you on minute 5 of the starting zone quest to make this WHOLE season and year worth it?
I can assure you right now, meta tanking probably isnt as fun as it will be in 3 months or even 6 months.

IMO add metamorph to battle pass track or sell it in cash shop
More time spent hopelessly moaning on these forums is less time spent in the game getting what you want.
Do better.
