Am i playing last patch of BFA with twilight devastation corruption or what? Why are blood dks beating dps almost every pull? When are they getting nerfed??
Sounds more like the dpsers issue. Vengeance is the answer. The more damage they take the more attack power they get, same for other tank specs.
Depends. Yesterday I ran BrC normal on my alt. The lvl 84 DK tank did 34k dps on the beast boss at the end, which almost no dps can achieve at that level, no matter how skilled. The only class able to compete with that, I guess, is a fire mage that blasts to max extent with a good combust. For a tank class (that’s also more or less a healer), it’s a bit broken.
Blood DKs are absolutely insane im dungeons…
Tanks have been topping dps meters in dungeons in Wotlk aswell. DKs are even more OP now in Cata
But they aren’t topping dps meters in raids anymore.
And no, Fire mages will definitely not be above tanks in normal dungeons because they need a lot of crit on gear to get going.
34k in a 4-mob pull? That’s absurd, i dont do those numbers at lvl 85 unless the pull has 5-6 mobs atleast
Yeah, at lvl 84 those numbers will not be possible for fire. Perhaps it was poorly worded by me. I have seen geared lvl 80 mages absolutely sending it though. This decked out 80 fire mage did similar dps to the DK on that boss. Not the same run though.
if you twink your under 85, with enchants gems blues and much more going full stamina and dps offensive stats, you can easily blast 40ks on a couple of mobs with cds or even more on a huge pack but the thing is, this isnt limited to just Blood dk. This is all tank specs.
Wanna know the most insane solo leveler is ? Prot warrior can easily replicate the blood dk in overall mass aoe dmg, but also has the advantage of getting a 45% max health heal every time he finishes one of the mobs in a dungeon while leveling. I could single handedly do the ledge farm as a level 82 twink warrior, while 85 prebis druids and blood dks were struggling to do the same, with as much efficiency, all while getting 5m xp an hour, which was with 5-10 other people farming near me. I could prob have done 6m and 12m with rested had it been more uncontested like now, when cloth prices arent 7-12g a piece.
It really isnt a problem at all with blood dk, but the other tanks needs to be upped to blood dks level of overall “tankiness” through its unique mastery and self healing at endgame. They are simply too good at that and blasting dps, while having great cds.
we are having blood dk tank being top 3 dps in Al akir hc xDDDDDD
My friend was always top dps in dungeons on his Bdk, but that’s only because of vengeance and his gear was full dps. Other than dungeons, I don’t think Bdk’s damage is high enough to call for nerf.
you need to look over the patch notes for cataclysm. Some healers have more base mana costs in the ds patch, which is what we work on, than the 4.0.1 patch. Same goes for dps. dont expect everything to be perfect
That’s because of how tanks were reworked.
They do much DMG in order eliminate issues with agro.
That said - if tank is beating you as dps - you fail 
The best tank regarding mitiagtion, and the tank with the highest dps by far. A nerf to their dmg is highly justified.

BDK do so much DPS cos they dont use Tank gear , Feral have it damage tuned fore DPS gear , but back in the day people styl asumed that tanks shoud be wearing tank gear not go full DPS
BDk stack well with DPS stats something that people were not doing back then , atlest not on mass,
I do on my demolock up to 45k dps on aoe fights at lvl84, did he pull the Boss and all of the cubs?
Beast is at most 4 targets, but likely to be only 3, the last pup is way far and doesn’t aggro when you pull the boss.
If you claim to do 45k on 3 target at 84, i am very skeptical of this.

In my situation he pulled all the cubs and boss i used every cooldown including infernal.
but still i agree nerf bdk or buff other tanks to bring a bit more balance between the tanks.
Actually on normal there is one extra pup. (This is because we have the nerfed version of the heroic where they reduced the number of pups to 2 because 3 was too hard for people).
Not really, we simply need to buff the mitigation of all other tanks to be superior to blood dk, then their dps is fine, as the other tanks can even sacrifice and go less tanky for more dps and equalize.
Well partially, it is cause bdp has a unique tank mechanic which is their selfhealing and that, that self healing scales massively with haste, mastery and stamina.
Compared to other tanks bdk just gets too much benefit from far too many stats.
