and why
any tank mains?
Strong contenders for me Ret(not because it is good now or will be later, just because I like Ret thematically), MM if Aimed Shot and Rapid Fire still slap, maybe Fire Mage because the rework looks fire(Pun intended).

Same thing I always main. Probably Disc instead of Holy depending on tuning. But since I don’t have to rely on what I’m playing being meta for LFG invites, I’ll probably play a few things (MW, Hpal, maybe some Rsham–we’ll see how long the season last, believe there was some talk about shorter seasons).

Well…blizz
Refuses to rework tanks so anyone in a flag carry map with a bear tank has the advantage.
I will play whatever healer is meta. Right now it’s monk by a mile. I dont even have to work hard to get ludicrous numbers. I’m hoping g it’s disc priest. But I have every healer so whatever is best. I’ll play a couple alts too.

Probably just spriest for now, maybe destro later in the expansion, or rogue if I can work up the gumption to keep 3 characters geared.

I’m the same. I have monk dpriest and prevoker but really only play monk just because it’s so broken right now. I don’t have a lot of gumption to play the other two. Locks are always strong in PvP

I don’t think it’s just flag maps where the bear is an advantage over “most” of the other tanks. Now, my opinion is based on Live tuning and I have no idea if this will change in any meaningful way in TWW, but…some of the tanks seem more like a liability on every map relative to bear.

Blood DK, I really like it for BGB since I can’t die thus able to hold a node which IMHO opens up room for team mates to cap other nodes.
In a flag map if I am unable to carry I usually harass the Guardian Druid making it almost impossible for that player to cap. Even though I took all the talents that give me a speed boost, if Blizzard gave us more movement I think Blood would be the preferred tank for BGB.

Calling it early:
Lots of people will play what they think is good damage/healing but at the highest levels none of that will really matter and Blitz will heavily revolve around CC/zoning.
At 2.1k+ MMR right now the best players are the ones that can CC to cap or zone to cap or knock to cap and doing real damage or healing in a teamfight is a losing strat in most scenarios.
Monks that can cap inside a Para and zone with Ring and knock off highground with CJL are very good. So are Shamans with knock and Static Totem and Earthgrip Totem. So are Druids with the same toolkit but slightly worse. So is Pres.
Disc/Holy Priests with basically just Fear are going to get styled on at high MMR. Warriors likely also going to be struggling with objectives.
Frost mages with ice wall and Evokers with Deep Breath wall are going to make all melee ragequit and come crying on the forums for nerfs.

Yeah i played a blitz where the team had a boomy and rogue and we didn’t
It was absolutely AWFUL
Blitz might not flop but i think it’s not going to be as refreshing as people think it is
I’ve had games with 4 DK’s vs 3 Warriors and the Warrs stomped those guys hard.
I’ve also had games with a single Frost Mage or Devoker hard zoning a whole team at mid in EotS.
Even now at high MMR it’s very rare to see a Warrior/DK/Ret/Spriest because they get gapped by Mages/Monks/Shamans/Druids/Evokers because the name of the game is control, not damage or kills.
Same goes for healers. I haven’t seen a single Hpriest/Hpal/Rsham at 2.1k+ because they either die in a stun or get shut down and capped on very easily. At low ratings I laugh at a Hpriest/Disc/Hpal trying to defend or cap a node.
Yeah play what you enjoy… Why level something just to push? Seems like a good way to not enjoy the game.
100% people have literally always done this.
Honestly what’s going to matter most is just skill expression in general. People that are good at their class well will win games. Using all their tools and dam.
He’ll look at enhance, even before recent buffs. People say it’s God aweful… Yet Saul and big dam still rock r1 every single season. People need to play what they enjoy lol.
I’ve seen all of those plenty over 2.1 MMR… The only ones I don’t see are low rep specs like ww/sub rogue etc

evoker.
It’s fun. It has a lot of good utility. Ever spec feels unique. The hero talents all look really cool.
Probably not warrior unless they have some massive changes lined up.
I’m playing at 2.1k mmr as well and the best teams just nuke healers. I wish my
Disc could do a little a more output like monks
They are so tanky. My mistweaver doesn’t even break a sweat at 2k it’s beyond ludicrous
Bear tanks need to get nerfed. Let brewmasters or pall tanks do something in bgs for once
