i am sick and tired of threat becoming a real problem in this expac. Please for the love of everything fix threat. M+ is not meant to have threat problems, mobs will 1 auto your dps. I should go in and start my pull, and lose threat. you want to make the argument that because i’m doing 6 mil dps, and my dps is doing 24 mil. sure you kind of make sense, but that is every high level key at this point. please make threat a non-factor. i’m about to quit this game

You’re not even 3k.
Try playing with worse players.
I expected someone on the bleeding edge, doing +16-19s.
m+ is meant to have threat problems to discourage endless kite meta.

Any nerf to threat is a buff to hunters and rogues, playing with enough of those? Or is the delicious looking unholy death Knight too alluring?
But yeah I don’t think anyone in this game would mind if mobs only meleed the tank. Misdirect/TOTT is not particularly fun, more of an annoying upkeep spell you have to press every pull. If you change it, change it in season 3.
Outside of the first second of pulling, when do you have threat issues

Threat is fine. Its in one of the easiest to get and maintain places its ever been in.
Tell your dps to lay off and let you gather or at least md… or don’t face pull and expect to have threat lol.
It’s safe to assume they are face pulling and/or dps are blowing cds while they are still pulling.

I dont think its an m+ problems , its a tank problem… we havent had threat problem since after BC where we had adons to watch threat
It can be a dps problem too.
Wars and paladins tend to be the biggest aoe bursters. If they full ham before the tank is settled, they usually fall over.
They never learn to chill and let tank get initial threat lol.
But yea no if a few seconds go by and tank still doesn’t have threat… its definitely a tank problem.

They’re not even the worst. A dev evoker who knows what they’re doing - dear goodness gracious do they every rip threat.

FYI, good tanks will often chain pull, and it can be tricky to keep threat when your DPS are mid-burst with full AOE and you’ve had two globals with 3 new mobs. In a 14 the warrior was chaining, I loved it because I’m simmed for 6, but my misdirect was on cd and the DK died to melee 3x.

Threat is an outdated mechanic and it really shouldn’t be a focus for the developers.
Tanks should be able to keep aggro on everything as soon as they pull even if they are not great, and to avoid kiting forever, just add a mechanic where if you don’t attack anything for like 10 seconds, aggro is gonna drop.
Oh but then tanks would aggro, kite for 10 seconds, go back in, yea and you lose all the tank damage which is actually quite significant at this point.
The counterpoint just doesn’t stand, and also doing that you risk getting one shot when you enter back in. It’s just a stupid idea, and a dumb counterpoint.

Oh true. But they quickly become a dead gecko for being impatient 
Wars tend to be the funniest imo. Hit cds and 1 dps button. Top of the dps meter for half a second then hit the dirt.
Being melee though, they get instantly deleted. At least dev can somewhat run away lol.

Don’t think my rating should be relative to my opinion but sure. It’s also just not on pull, a lot of specs have a ton on prio dmg and when they’re not hitting the right target I lose threat. I get the reasoning for that being an issue in the past, it should not be a problem in the current meta. And blizz counters the kiting meta by placing 40 casters in every 4 mob pack, while simultaneously nerfing every AoE cc/silence.
I was just in ToP and the tank seemed to be doing fine on the last boss until the boss decided to melee me to death.
If you’re going to try to body pull 3 packs say something to the rest of the group first.

Nah. We love threat. Its free entertainment for us.
It also shows who is a bad tank/dps with a super simple skill check.
I wish I was just body pulling and being just an idiot but I’m not, I will go in and press Thunder Clap and Revenge with Avatar up, and they just walk away from me.
Nobody who seriously thought about this likes threat.
I’ve learned to wait for the tank to stop moving before I go ape on the trash.

Anyone who thinks seriously at all doesn’t even think about threat.
This isn’t classic where you have to tab target to maintain aoe threat.
Its literally don’t face pull multiple packs. Don’t blow all your cds until tank hits a few buttons and gathers.
This isn’t rocket science. And the people who hate threat tend to be bad/impatient players.
Like I said free entertainment and a super easy skill check.
