People just don’t want to lead. It’s not rocket science. It’s easier to just follow along and do damage. The community doesn’t really help criticizing every little mistake. Healing is just kinda boring. Respect to those who enjoy it but it will never be popular. I had high hopes for fist weaving but it’s really not implemented well. That was my original plan anyway.
The community makes it this way and Blizzard to a lesser extent. The barrier to entry is just more than most will tolerate.
Sorry I mean that as a healer you’re basically only healing the tank because once a mistake happens your dps is 1 shot so you can’t save them in those situations.
Also Mythic + rewards you in no extra way for doing those long dungeons so most hate those. You spend 45 minutes and someone screws up a mechanic, and the longer the dungeon the more likely that’s going to happen. I wish they drop the timer, give bosses loot tables and just run the thing.
Theres this thing we use called Mythic Dungeon Tools, to pre-plan before we do the key.
I don’t play tank or healer because;
Any mistake is always the healers fault…
And too many whine to the tank for any and all reasons…
Also tanks need to know a lot more information on routes, keeping aggro or whatever.
I don’t enjoy pugging AS DPS but it is more fitting to my playstyle.
The literal role of tanks to me feels slow and boring… while healers I get anxiety lol
Being DPS, I can get trash talked, and kicked which sucks but I avoid pugs now-a-days so as to avoid that toxic nonsense.
Healing feels bad. In 9.0 when i healed on holy pal it felt like every heal did 8% hp and couldn’t keep up with damage . Compared to classic where I was doing 25-50% a heal.
I didn’t really tank at all until MoP, though my mains until then were triple DPS classes.
The hard part is trying it for the first time. Once you do that and don’t instantly get your team killed, it goes up from there.
Transitioning from dps to tank is easier than dps to healer, though. Still, healers that make an effort to do damage are the best.
Too many sissies in this game 
DPS is the only role you can use in all content.
Tanking sucks in PvP and is hard to get into in raids due to the limited amount of tanks needed.
Healing sucks to use whilst questing or leveling.
Not at all. While I prefer shadow for leveling, occasionaly I’ll run into a really annoying situation whereupon I will switch to disc and simply win by attrition. Pure dps of course, has no such option.
Umm dungeons are significantly harder now. You seeem to be heavily over exaggerating.
Tanks also still do callouts all the time. I know because i dooo them, all the time.
All hunter specs and all warlock specs would disagree in my opinion.
Fair enough - as long as they keep their pet up it amounts to the same thing.
There is a lot of leading as the tank. You have to know the route, what can and can’t be pulled together, awareness of healer and dps cd’s, correct positioning and marking. Call outs for all kinds of things.
Early in a season most people are extremely forgiving. For example I pulled the last boss in lower Kara without clearing all the trash… No one said anything bad about it at all, they just laughed it off. Its not until dungeons have been out for a couple of months that people expect you to know what you’re doing.
My biggest complaint about tanking though is the limited amount of spots in raids.
Dracthyr can’t tank.
In pugs, I think healers are rare because they’re unpaid maids who get treated poorly.
Yeah usually when I tank anything under a 20 I’m having to kick/stun all the important stuff, it feels like if I don’t kick something important the cast almost always goes off. When it does, and the group wipes, people blame the tank
The other day I had a guy(warrior) 20 ilvl above me(bdk) complaining about threat and how he had FOUR mobs attacking him and I needed to taunt. He was basically starting every fight instead of me. We had no misdirect/tricks. The result? he tells me to learn how to tank. He said he tanked. Yet how does he think I will taunt four different mobs and keep up with that? hah
I see something like this on a weekly basis. This is why people don’t tank. Because when you tank you stick your neck out and too many people in this game are thirsty to take a chop
