Why prot paladin is doing 3x damage of other tanks in M+ and aoe situations

Even in M+, with no downtime (the fact you guys don’t know how to look at the DPS of “in combat” only worries me), they’re still not doing 1m more than other tanks.

Best is 1.5m for entire combat duration

No because that includes the downtime of the last few mobs that are often pulled into the next pack. As an easy example:

Mobs total HP: 20 Mil.

Pally DPS: 2 Mil

War DPS: 1 Mil

Pally 20 mil dmg/2mil DPS = 10 seconds

War 20 mil dmg/1mil DPS = 20 seconds

Takes 10 seconds to pull to the next pack/get out of combat with last mob.

2 Mil DPS/20 seconds = 1 mil DPS

1 Mil DPS/30 seconds = 666k DPS.

So the log shows a pally is only doing 340k more than a war, but in reality, the pally is actually doubling his damage.

See the issue?

Vitaminr… dude… The fact that you made me agree with that guy is… grrr

What kind of logic is this? Why would you not include the entire encounter and only the peak burst? That’s some real goal post moving you got there. Does your back hurt?

Whenever anyone talks about M+ damage they are almost always talking about Overall numbers unless it’s specified otherwise.

Here’s the play by play. You knee jerk replied and got called out. You shifted gears and had to back pedal hard. You had a toddler bike that has the pedal brakes and you hit your head. So now you are dazed.

No I just see Olympic levels of mental gymnastics.

It then continues on further, but honestly, that you and Ayesha would bring up “liberals” and “blue haired women” in an online argument about a video game where it isn’t relevant kinda ruins anything either of you say.

You see, he insulted me first by telling me to sit in a corner, but you chose to ignore that. That’s why I responded.

Telling you to “sit in the corner” is not a personal insult. Lmao. That’s not an attack on you as a person.

Telling you to “sit in the corner” is not a personal insult. Lmao.

This is a wild statement. That’s equivalent to calling me a child. It’s a personal insult. Otherwise, what’s the point in saying it?

I was telling you to back out of the argument you self-inserted yourself into.

As of right now in high keys Brewmaster and BDK are not far behind Prot Pally on DPS. Those two are currently fighting for last place because both have been seriously harmed by the self sustain/self healing changes. Both seem to be having threat issues as well which is likely because they are busy trying to not be killed.

VDH is next in line and I would be willing to bet if they fixed it so VHD didn’t need to kite it would be a bit higher.

Bear is next after that and honestly in not to bad of a place overall considering its by far the most simple of the tanks… could still use some QOL/gameplay changes.

War is dead last in high key DPS but considering they are also by far the most durable its probably a good place for them to be right now.

Seems War and Bear need more help in raid than they do M+. Brew and BDK are decent in raid but really bad in M+. Then VDH is kind of in the middle.

Because it’s completely out of left field lmao.

Someone tells you to sit in the corner and your immediate response is “you’re like a blue haired lady screaming on camera”

Like, what? How is that even sane?

lmao I should really be asleep, but this is too hilarious.

Because it’s completely out of left field lmao.

What are you talking about? He equated me to a child, so I did the same. Blue haired lady crying is a meme everyone knows and everybody but you gets the reference apparently.

What’s wild is you trying to tell me he was called something unprovoked, and “out of left field” while saying absolutely nothing about who started the name calling. Even better he tries to actually sit there and say it wasn’t an insult. It’s like I’m in a parallel universe.

You’re actually here right now trying to argue that his insult is a “good” insult and mine is a “bad” insult. lol this is unbelievable. I’ve had enough today, that’s for sure.

Yeah BDK’s biggest challenge in high keys is surviving big hits and avoiding one-shots. If they can survive the hit they can still heal themselves up. Paladins are kind of in that boat too, but we have a bit more in our tool kit. Both Paladins and BDK really needs good group utility usage.

I’ve never heard of or seen this meme either.

Telling you to sit in the corner isn’t “name calling”. It’s inflammatory, but it’s not name calling.

Far easier to nerf one spec than to buff everyone else. I would love for them to do some decent balancing and bring everyone up to scratch for once, but sadly it won’t happen. The issue as OP said is because paladin as no AOE cap, and because their shield toss also acts as a shield, it means they can pull big to do lots of damage AND have some huge added defenses.

The rest of the tanks and most DPS having AOE caps tells me pulling big is not a design choice and not how Blizzard balance, because if you pull 5-7 enemies in each pull, most classes perform quite similar so to Blizzard there is no real issue.

Yeah, telling you to sit in the corner is condescending, but the message is really “you’re out of line so I’m treating you like a misbehaving child”, it’s not super specific in this case. We’re interpreting it however we want here.

I’m saying yours is not comparable because it’s much more specific (blue haired, woman). The message comes across as “you’re acting like a blue haired woman”, the “screaming into a camera” part is kinda overlooked as you’ve decided to be specific about the type of person we should expect to be screaming into cameras, there’s no room for interpretation. Apparently blue haired women scream into cameras because of their given traits.

Idk, just kinda makes you look silly.

It was also following the other poster trying to insult me by calling me a “liberal”, also out of left field, so this blue hair comment after that one…

It was the strangest amount of back pedaling and moving goal posts I’ve seen in a while. Like even when I quoted themselves it was as if it didn’t happen.

lol this is the last response I’ve got. Mine is a meme. Go look it up. The reference is the exact same – someone behaving like a child. That I was very specific only drives my point further in what I was referencing. There’s no room for interpretation in your head because you refuse to see anything else.

Regardless, the fact you are in here saying I look silly while simultaneously trying to argue using insults to begin with is an appropriate response as long as they fit Duffle’s interpretation of how good or bad the insult is is completely hilarious. Responding to any debate with an insult is what is silly. The fact you refuse to even acknowledge that point and are sitting here trying to argue semantics on what an appropriate insult is without understanding an insult never is appropriate to begin with, is also completely, and utterly silly.

Have a good night.

OK, so, you and Snoz can be very confronting when it comes to m+. But, if anyone was interested in debating the actual facts and future buffs/nerfs, getting into a shouting match isn’t exactly the best way to do it.

If they had only been better about showing what they were talking about and being open to being told “that’s not how it works” then we could have had a reasonable conversation.
