But why? Nothing you guys said can’t be resolved with some re-balancing.
And if you’re still playing the dps blaming game, i’ve seen enough tanks and healers not performing well enough, though it seems like you guys are acting like dps is solely to blame for “bad stuff”.
I will say it again
Solution : Add no DPS and encourage people to roll tanks
Sure, but Blizz can re-balance to make mistakes more forgiving.
Why? You’re gonna heal 7 instead of 5, but with adapted abilities(cap increased) and less unavoidable dmg that ends up the same on more targets.
Why? You’re still tanking the same 5 mobs, only with more hp, they’ll go down in the same time as there will be 5 dps instead of 3.
Nah… tanking is a non-competitive role within the party, same as healing.
As I said above , a much easier solution is simply to encourage tanks to play in pugs
Simply boring… might as well just do Torghast solo.
That’s an opinion though ? I find dpsing very boring personally
Surely it is.
The thing is… that there are more dps than tanks, because more people share the same opinion as me.
Would be nice for me if they didn’t though…
A lot of people just dont want the responsibility because the tank can have to be a “leader” in some cases , you also kind of decide the speed at which the dungeon will be done so if the run fails or is not timed , you will get the blame
It depends… the tank is responsible for pulling yes, but he’s not the only one who can lead.
True, this is where pulling comes in, it also matters since pulling 1/3 of the slimes instead of half in front on the 1st Plaguefall boss is a smarter move on certain affixes…
It doesn’t happen for failing to reach the end on time usually, it happens to everyone(any role) when certain mistakes are made, which were obviously responsible for failing the key.
Though, even if players fail, not everyone is quick to call out, it very rarely happens, as far as i’ve experienced.
I still think there are a lot of ways to encourage dps or healers to start tanking , but obviously Blizzard doesnt care enough
It’s a different playstyle… not everyone is into it.
Very true but then what is your solution ? Adding 2 DPS is obviously not a solution as it creates new problems
Easily solved problems.
Solved how ? They already cant balance every spec, the good proof is Torghast and you expect them to balance even more by adding 2 dps and having to redo the entire balance of dungeons (which would include balance in m+ dungeons as well) ?
Only m+ dungeons… and they are already balanced in a way now, but not really balanced either.
So it’d be a whole different balance, nothing is ever perfectly balanced.
I just dont trust Blizzard tbh to not create a huge mess with the rebalancing, that’s one of the reasons why I think this shouldnt happen.
Tanking and healing is a pretty special role in the game and obviously doesnt attract as many players as DPS, but maybe it’s better that way ? You can also just ask tanks that you meet to add them on bnet (that happens pretty often when I tank) and just ask them from time to time if they want to do m+'s or whatever
More HP only still means they have to heal more.
It also becomes boring for DPS. “Bullet sponge” enemies are the worst.
Well… they already balanced visions and Torghast to scale with party numbers… the scaling would be more upwards.
Well now you have 5 dps instead of 3… effectively 40% more dps (not including heal+ tank dps), the combat time should be the same.
What do you mean i dont like tanking? I’ve been doing it since 2004.
Do i feel my existence threatened? Do you think i can take this question seriously? I’ve been doing it since 2004.
I am explaining basic cold obvious facts about why it would’nt work, in a very simplistic way, yet you seem to think i am threatened by the idea.
Your issue is a shortage of pug tanks and healers, despite the fact that more than half the classes can play either role, yet your solution is to add more burden on the tank/healer for an easier time for DPSers who already have it easy. Do you see where the problem is?
What burden? You act like you’re slaving away for groups… get a grip, you either enjoy tanking, or you don’t.
DPS’ers can’t have it easy if they’re in the queue… they’re doing nothing there.
