All tanks except Protection Paladin useless in Mythic+

Yeah, just noticed that myself and edited teh post accordingly… most of my 80s don’t appear there when I search myself, that used to be different. :beers:

But the RaiderIO Website will AFAIK still show his BDK as his main no matter how high his pally´s score is as long as he has it marked as his main. Ingame it will show the pallys IO score as main… had this last season myself where the mage was “on vacation” and I mained ret, opening the pally’s io page linked to the mage, but ingame the pally was displayed as main. :wink:

Of course it is a worgen who can not resist going on the hunt.

That changed years ago. At the same time WoWprogress lost that ability as well.

RIO is basically “abusing” the M+ API Blizzard provides that allows account tracking with how the runs are being uploaded. PvP doesnt have it in the same form with its own rating.

That said, the first time the char is searched for, it does immediately add it, I just updated my own checkpvp with most of my primary alts (because unlike Kartoffeln I have nothing to hide) just by searching them once :wink:

Yes, because it compares the armory. However it wont do that until you search for the char unlike RIO which may as well do that if your untracked char has higher rating.

Let me just set the parameters for my totally non bias search… +11’s? No, still too many classes… +12’s? No, still split too evenly… Hmmm… Lets go for 15’s, this totally represents the entire m+ community and isn’t just the top cream of m+ degeneracy and i totally didn’t pick this mark cause it supports my side…

You know that pallies have the only real silence aoe / threat generator move being sheild throw yh ?

No other class has anything like it.

Your saying my and everyone elses tanks are utterly useless in a dung unless theyre palluly is nonesense, i do perfectly on any of my tanks including my pally which at the same ilvl actually feels a lot more squishy.

Just bc you love pally tanks which btw is totally cool theres no need to bag the rest of the tank classes in forum chat.

The post you made seems to be a huge meme about your ilvl as well as insulting others by assuming they dont or cannot interupt (thats why i mentioned sheild throw btw)

The long and short of it is why did you make this post was it to bag other tanks or players or did you just want us to know your ilvl ???
Im at a loss here…

Gnome is literally the one race i never ever play. I made a rogue once, stealthed up and it looked like it had a gammy leg when moving so i deleted it.

Thats complete hash and not possibly true every tank at some point is trolled by somone who thinks theu know better… its usually somone off firemaw server if ur on cata classic on retail it absolutly happens there are more toxic players every day on wow.

Its the current gen of gamers christ i got reported bc somone didnt like my warriors name… why bc the dont like dragonball… thats the height of tocxicity the name wasnt offensive or against tos… they just dont like dragonball its that or they got jealous of me having it when they cant.

Except BRM

And even BRM. Are you saying those 100+ thousands BRM’s can not play 10-11 while they actually are?

If you are looking at 15+ then you are not looking at the majority of the playerbase and these are some of the top end players in the game so of course they are favoring the most powerful classes to try to ensure success on their pushes and if you are doing this also then yes you have to play what’s considered to be the best class for the job and as of current Prot Paladin is leagues above the rest.

However if you are talking about 10-13 bracket I know people who are doing them without using the “meta” tanks.

Yet you had to go on a rampage about Delvers ruining your alt keys:) Thanks for clarifying that you just exaggerated and that it’s not actually a real issue.

I like how Kartoffeln pulled the entirety of GD at once with smartly placed AoE taunts, got the mob to enrage, and is able to valiantly hold fast ever since, almost two hundred posts after, just on their self-sustain abilities alone. They might be a good troll tank indeed.

Still, a risky manoeuvre. Might easily lead to a wipe if they aren’t careful!

Oh, they CAN interrupt. That’s not the problem. It’s that Protection Paladin can interrupt more. More! Do you understand the concept of MORE?

In m+ the only danger is one-shotting casters right now, which is why every tank is useless compared to Protection Paladin, because he does the MOST interrupting by far. On top of that, he has plenty other way to stop players from being one-shot. You can’t compete with Protection Paladin and therefore you are useless. I hope you understand now.

Sure a Prot Paladin can interrupt more but that does not mean all other tanks are useless (Unless you are pushing the pinnacle of m+ 15+ keys, Any tank below that should be fine tbh just requires the team to help out with more interrupts)

It;s this belief of "We cant do a 15 without a prot paladin which then filters down and people say “We cant do an 8 without a prot paladin” that causes these dumb issues and beliefs.

It really isn’t. Venge DH was able to lock down groups for 15 seconds in it’s own, and everybody saw it as a problem.

Now that Prot Paladin doesn’t pay for infinite interrupts (it should either do a lot less dmg or take more dmg than other tanks), it is a visible problem.

Nothing to do with priests in the meta.

They are useless compared to Protection Paladins. They don’t bring anything to the table that Protection Paladin can’t do better. If one tank of every class applies to your m+ key with same ilvl and same rio, you would be stupid not to take the Protection Paladin, because he is the best for you and the rest of your group.

Everybody prefers Protection Paladins because they are the best. Nobody wants any of the other tanks if they have the choice, because they are not better at ANYTHING. Therefore every other tank is useless until Blizzard manages to give them specific strengths again that make them compete with Protection Paladins once more.

This topic is just as misleading as the delvers ruining m+ topic, just sharing my opinion, OP will always find a way to rant about something.

If you had a convincing counter argument, you would make it. I’m right and you know it.
