what do you base this claim on?
and are you talking about phase 2? because phase 2 has been irrelevant for a solid 5-6 months now bro, stop living in the past.
you can’t justify issues taking place right now with issues of the past that has long since been fixed aka SHAMAN DW ROCKBITER TANK WAS NERFED EONS AGO SO STOP CRYING ABOUT THAT.
from what i’m hearing paladin tanks are currently (as in; right now, when its relevant) performing the exact similar role as shaman tank with far greater efficiency.
from what i see in logs paladin tanks are performing better in the role of tanking than shaman as well.
you can literally google “tank rankings SOD phase 4” and Paladin is literally ranked 1st, with an S-tier ranking while every other tank is below them.
- Paladin Tank (S-Tier)
- Warlock Tank (S-Tier)
- Druid Tank (S-Tier)
- Warrior Tank (A-Tier)
- Rogue Tank (A-Tier)
- Shaman Tank (B-Tier)
Shaman is in fact THE WORST tank right now with a B-tier ranking, even below rogue (now i personally don’t recognize this because i’m a giga champion at the game, but the stats at least seem to imply this).
the actual wowhead link seems to be broken (im getting “Bad gateway” error) so best i can do for now is the google search that snippets the wowhead article.
you literally got seal/judgement of matyrdom raid mana regeneration mere days after you, as a community, started crying in phase 3 that shamanistic rage was unfair, so that’s another invalid argument from you.
btw, no that’s not at all what i’m talking about either.
i’m saying paladin community cries (very loudly) and immediately the problem gets addressed.
you cry about bad dps rotation and lack of 2 sec speed 2h weapons in phase 3 and lo and behold a fullblown brand spanking rework for ret paladin comes up next patch. (and i remember you being there crying loudly about this too, which is hilarious).
you cry about shamanistic rage and bam, there’s a similar mechanic.
you cry about wf being hard to get, and bam there’s raidwide WF with 100 yards.
you cry about str/agi totem and bam, there’s a version of it which is baseline and even better than the totems even when improved by talents.
how can you delude yourself to this level.
the history of the game disagrees with you.
you are trying to deny the undeniable you absolute lemon.
seeing as people like you are the average player occupying raid slots in alliance raids it is no bloody wonder you are performing worse than horde raids.
