VDH state right now is absurd

And yet so many keys are bricked by Terrible VDHs who are essentially wet paper in a blender.

Because not every tank is a VDH and if VDH is grossly better than every other tank your less likely to get groups if you play anything else…
A group has 1 tank so VDH is not helping other tanks clear anything more efficiently…
IDK how this logic is so hard to wrap your head around.

So what?

It’s 50 times easier on a VDH than the other tanks, and that’s unacceptable.

Oh… you’re a Demon Hunter. Never mind.

How about we nerf you into the ground but keep you “viable” - that would be fine, right?

(BTW, here’s the Forum Dictionary entry for “viable”)

viable
adj.
Bad. Making everything take more time and effort than it should, for no benefit. Used frequently by people trying to justify other classes having unreasonable advantages over others, especially if the poster plays that class, themselves.

In the case of demon hunters, maybe some people just don’t want to be one of the 6 billion elves in the game.

^ This right here.

Yes, any tank can do 10+ keys but the ease of VDH NEEDS to be pointed out. For example, grouping and controlling a pack of multiple casters as a VDH versus say a prot war…

I play all 6 tanks. I enjoy tanking instead of QQ. Do some have better kits for dungeons? Yes. Do some have better kits for raiding? Yes. Do some have better kits for pvp? Yes However they’re all fun to play. Especially from +10 on down where 99% of the player base is.

Yeah I’m sure you’ve done way more keys on your prot warrior and brewmaster than your VDH, the last few months.

God isn’t that the truth, when I am pumping out some serious heals on my MW and 80% of that is going to the VDH

Season four is a throw away season meant to buy them more time to focus upon the next expansion, I wouldn’t expect much change. Hell they left the same three DPS classes OP has all hell during the final season in SLs.

because 1 spec is infinitely better than any other in the entire game?

Funny you should say that, i did run my warrior and brew in season 3 a lot to get all the mogs. Matter of fact i mained prot warrior the first half of the season, and played two prot warriors to increase mogs. I pick out tanks by the transmog i want to finish the most because it’s so easy to tank on any of the tanks up to what was a 20.

Just because something is doable doesn’t make it equal.

They lasted for like almost 2 seasons undefeated in Shadowlands.
The moment they gave Blood DKs something everyone started crying because they were too powerful.

My brother in christ, you weren’t even pushing all twenties in season three on your warrior. You don’t play at a level where tank balance is really gonna hold you back.

Tinker class so OP they tricked everyone into thinking they don’t exist so they can’t get nerfed

Appreciate the stalk but you are missing my point. Why does the game need to be balanced for 1% of the player base when its perfectly fine for the other 99%. I could have easily pushed that warrior through 20s but i was finished with all 4 mogs and didnt care anymore.

Because it’s generally not considered fine when one spec over preforms over everyone else to the point where it feels like you are trolling your group by not using it?

Like, multiple specs took tactical nukes for how badly the god comp broke season 2. Some of those specs are still in rough spots, either from performance issues or gameplay ones.

You’re replying to the wrong guy from the wrong character. Interesting how you switch up toons as soon as its traceable back to your posting character =)

Because the top 1-2% of the player base deserves a balanced game too? I don’t doubt you could of done 20s if you really tried but that isn’t the point. The point is that you don’t play at a level that this really affects you. Balancing the tanks around the 1-2% player doesn’t really affect the bottom 98% of players because 98% of content doesn’t demand meta.

My number one reason for not playing the game is because I cannot be invited to keys. When the disparity of tanks, or dps for that matter, get so extreme where you have to slot in the same 5-6 specs past 3.4.k io, the game just stops for most people because they sit in LFG and no team wants them.

First the game will never be balanced, never has been never will be. Every tank has had its moment at the top. once again thats a problem for a sliver of the community. I have to agree to disagree with you on the 99 vs the 1. Some of us see balancing the game for the 1% as the biggest problem this game has: ; leading to the addon bloat.

Not tank balance, just VDH balance. The rest of the tanks are fine. There’s just one clear outlier that’s much better than all of the others.
