Extremely disappointed with the direction of guardian in midnight!

With the focus being shifted to the dead ability maul that both looks bad and feels bad, i’m losing interest in this class again. Having removed maul of my bars actually made playing guardian bearable. now with the focus being shifted onto that terrible ability I’m probably giving up tanking all together, despite also tanking on my paladin(just what the game needs, less tanks).

And then the changes to ironfur. The terrible excuse of a reasoning for changing it doesn’t make any sense. I’ll go out on a limb and say you’re lying. Because of how ironfur and druid defense is designed to begin with, the armor stacking, more stacks, less damage taken.

This won’t stop ironfor from being spammed, its just gonna make us take more damage by being strong-armed into spamming maul, leaving us with less stacks of ironfur alongside the removal of earthwarden.

Don’t get me started on the “apex” talents, nothing apex about them. Along with the new Elune’s hero talent it’s something i’d would expect seeing on the april fool’s post. Throw Star Cascade back into the hell hole from where it came.

I’m not sure if its mainly guardian, or if you’re making other tanks more tedious and a chore to play too, then we’ll see even less tanks for midnight.

I feel you, although I won’t give up on Guardian, virtually all the other tanks feel better for me. Visuals, aesthetics everything. Except maybe brewmaster, I found BM even more boring than Guardian. Long story short me be “once a Druid main, always a Druid main”. I’ll play resto/feral again if the current changes apply to midnight Guardian.

I definitely agree with you raze is the worst skill that guardian has ever had, and now with the removal of thorns of Iron and new tier set of the guardian, we are forced to use raze which can’t be used if target is not in melee range. It is so bad, you lose ironfur stacks, you can’t use a garbage aoe skill, and you have lost the earthwarden which was the 3rd best defensive layer of guardian. Now, there are also some good changes like you have access to scintillating moonlight and Ursoc’s Fury which are enough to compensate for earthwarden but yeah Raze is unusable right now.

Who cares ? You want to play a punching bag, its gonna play the same either way. xD

if you don’t know, or care about how guardian plays, then why do you feel the need to comment with a dismissing comment that adds nothing.

Cause i despise tanks ?
