Prot has never been so bad that it couldn’t do keys, it’s just worse than your other options for a tank. It’s still worse than your other options for a tank, so I doubt much will change for it in terms of community perception.

The nerf is pretty substantial as it is to be quite honest. Going from 140% to 130% is actually a really big change based on the way Pride + Lust + CDs work as a portion of your overall DPS in the current season. Fights won’t be 7% shorter, they could be up to 15% shorter depending on class composition. That’s a pretty substantial reduction to some of the most time-consuming chunks of gameplay in those dungeons. Some encounters could even be dramatically shorter if you hit a specific break-point. The Ingra Mulock fight in Mists could skip an entire phase with the change to boss health for instance.

Our group has a prot warrior for our mythics

But we also suck, so it works

It’s a nice change, but at the same time it should have been at most 25%

I am glad they finally realized that tyrannical is a terrible affix and are doing something about it though, same with the tanking changes.

Nah dude that’s a bit too strong for what prot warriors are right now. I’m afraid we’re gonna have to nerf it.

Can we nerf things like spiteful and necrotic as well? Getting one tapped by a shade because I’m a wheelchair melee class doesn’t feel good, and neither does having to kite even more as a tank.

Prot warrior feels pretty beefy – surely you are not having any trouble at least up to +10?

I’m getting there give me time man . I’ll keep you posted :slightly_smiling_face:

I was thinking the same for Hakar, much better chance of not hitting that extra shield at 2-3% remaining

The real issue at hand is the change in the tanking META that isn’t really talked about or even hinted at unless you are digging deep into the discords and forums.

My experience hasn’t been that I feel squishy, it’s that you have to have everything go right in order to put out enough threat within a 2 second window before you run away. Then it’s “yakkity sax” while you zoidburg whoop around in big circles letting your dps kill things.

Other tanks are built to do this better than warriors, which is why they’re all over the upper 10+ keys. But prot warriors should not be having any issues on 10-15 keys. Don’t use me as an example, I run with a group that has trouble pushing 3k dps so our issues go way beyond prot warrior tanking lol.

But here you can see plenty of prot warriors that are doing high keys, so you can to.
