Depends I guess, I see a LOT of dps who don’t interrupt, purge, get out of fire, etc. I mean… a lot. I like Pal tanking since I can cover so many missed interrupts… and I’d say it’s easier to cover bad dps than a bad tank… just sayin.
Having to wait is usually a bane to anyone who wants to get into the ‘go go go’ mentality. Either way, point is given and across. This is, literally, someone going, “Pi is 3.14,” and another guy going, “Well, actually, Pi is 3.14159265359.”
I’m trying to explain to you that the severity of the wait you’re threatening is happening and is going to keep happening isn’t actually all that severe, and likely isn’t happening to the degree you’re claming it does, and that it won’t actually do anything to change what you’re frustrated about. I’m trying to get you to understand that not a lot of people are going to take your claim seriously, and that the current state of wait times isn’t actually likely to change what you want changed.
Meh, fairly low effort here, have definitely seen better. I give you a 3/10
You want more tanks? Make it easier to have them as alts! I used to have them but there isn’t really a point to doing content in looking for group. And mythic plus and raiding is the only real way to get things done… so making tanking something to do. Even allowing echoes to be farmable by dungeons would help.
Why is your post still going we have already discovered you don’t even tank anything and just flame people who don’t post on a tank class
Why are you still replying?
Gotta learn how to evaluate things qualitatively rather than quantitatively. I can tell how good of a run in having or if I’m improving something by a lot of different things. Never even installed a dmg/heal meter since I came back.
Did I survive is one aspect. How I did it is another. Was my healer struggling or did I manage the incoming damage well? Did we +2 or 3 the key if it’s m+? Did I keep other people from dying by picking up everything as needed? Did my route keep extra mobs to a minimum? Was I #1 on interrupts? (I have to estimate there since no counter)
There’s tons of evaluations for tanks to judge by. They just don’t have meters.
Except you quantified success, right there. Is it a continuous measure? No. But a quantity? Yes.
Look, you can try to play the “did we win game” all you want, but that won’t work with randoms. Assume everyone is running a meter and that a dps that has low numbers has a significant chance of being kicked because of it - even if the reason for those low numbers is emergency offhealing, kiting, etc. The quantification of every aspect of the game is a horse that has already left the barn, and timers for M+ only makes it worse.
Way to be pedantic and ingore the several other non quantitative examples provided.
I mained tank this expansion for the first time. Will never main tank again. Tanking was not hard, in fact I find it the easiest of the three roles to technically play. It was actually pretty relaxing until I joined pugs. People ruined tanking for me, specifically pugs. I refuse to tank for anything other than guild mates and friends now.
I am sure that I’m not the only one who quite tanking because of the people they have encountered in pugs.
Keep telling yourself that
