OH PLEASE 
All DPS to do is bang buttons and stay within 40 yards of the healer LMAO.
Dude, ive run all three roles extensively. DPS IS the easiest.

The awakening affix is what caused me to hang up tanking on my warrior this season and switch to fury. I was tanking 12-14s and working up to 15s in pugs.
Tanks already have all of the responsibility, now Blizz wants me to be responsible for being a tank taxi, memorizing optimal routes and mob percentages? Nope.
As soon as Blizz stops making tanks have every single responsibility in all content the sooner more people will tank.
Now, after my sometimes 1-2 hour mythic wait time, I just play mindless fury, no stress, and follow the tank who studies 2-3 hours a night for his tanking position.
Tanking is both easy and fun.
What’s not easy is knowing what every single mob does and how it interacts with your group, knowing the most efficient routes, keeping track of your entire groups cooldowns and managing them, and making the important decisions for 5 players simultaneously. That’s a bit more daunting and has a much higher learning curve

It’s mostly the RNG debuffs that annoy me. Some make +12s much easier. Others make +8s near impossible (looking at Shrine of Storms). Shrine of Storms was a mistake.
So, are you saying that tanking is easy or not easy? because you just said both in that post
The actual mechanics of tanking are easy. The responsibility associated with it is different

I believe he means what I said earlier: Tanking is easy to understand, but it’s execution it’s not.
so how does aotc give you the experience and knowledge to make tanking better? 
Simple answer? I’ve tanked from BC to now on random alts. I’ve raided, I’ve hung up that mantle. I just do things for fun now. The way things are now, it’s not -worth- being a try-hard. I’ve been there, I’ve done that. Next patch is going to invalidate your mythic gear from the previous patch anyway.
I’ve tanked and played for longer than you’ve even had your account, it looks like.
pls respond
is that another oof chief?

Unfortunately you cannot separate the two except theoretically, and doing so is moot.
I understand the role of an NFL quarterback, therefore being a quarterback must be easy. Uh, no. The two are mutually inclusive. With no understanding there is nothing to execute, and executing the theory in vivo is hard, outside of low dungeons.
I have tanked mythics on my Death Knight, yes. I got tired of it very quickly. The issue wasn’t and isn’t myself dying or having problems actually tanking with it.
I just don’t enjoy it. Got to +7s and 8s, got bored waiting on the right RNG for the week to actually progress. Get the wrong affixes stacked up and it’s like pulling teeth. Extra mobs + rallying tended to be annoying, combined with infested, etc.
I have no desire to play things where I have to wait for the proper week to get affixes that don’t make a dungeon unnecessarily stupid for no real reward beyond what I’d get on an easier week. Hence, I quit doing them. I have succeeded, I have played them, and I have been in them. I don’t have to do -all- the mythics at higher levels, especially in a new season with the ilevel uped (invalidating my gear) to know it’s not enjoyable content. It doesn’t mean I -can’t-do it, it means I don’t -want- to do it further.
What an eye roll.
I tank nearly full time in this game. I’m the last person who will get the wool pulled over their eyes when it comes to tank issues.
I can’t even fathom how many times I’ve survived group wiping scenarios. I’ve my own repertoire of “last man standing” stories.
Sit down child.

Pretty sure he can back me up in this. Certain mythic weeks? Easy-breezy. Can just roll through them with no issues.
Certain affixes combining as you move up to get them all? It’s antagonistic and unnecessarily annoying for a reward that’s not worth it.

12s so high.
Edit: Oh you even supplied Raiderio link…last season…sub 1k.

DPS is the easiest to do poorly and still succeed. DPS is by far the hardest to do well and by well I mean not only do all the mechanics expected of them but also sustain high DPS.
Tanking USED to be “hard” when you had to work for threat. Now the only time threat is an issue is extreme gear differences or gimmicks like skittish.

so you HAVENT tanked higher mythics but this post is about how to fix lack of tanks?

It’s also by far the most competitive, as seen by all the goombas making RIO TOXIC posts

oh yawn. NO one cares about your details place, guy. What we care about is you not causing wipes and wasting OUR time because youre paying more attention to that stinking meter than playing the game right.
