As title states, literally any tank be it warrior or bear can solo any dd, makes for such boring pvp. Almost unkillable no matter how geared you are, and crits bigger than yo momma…

That’s always been the case in wow, why you surprised?
Also they aren’t unkillable, they are very killable, just gotta know when CDS are used, and play smart.
This is not true. Blizz buffed tank damage in late stage of wotlk cause their leave no noob behind policy. At that gear level tank damage was mitigable, but they did not dealt that high damage originally in 3.0 content

Ghostcrawler, the guy went on to ruin League of Legends with power creep, spent most of WOTLK demonstrating, in great detail, his lack of understanding of PVP.
One of his great ideas was “every spec viable in PVP”. That translated to: Give casters flat damage reduction if they aren’t S-Tier, and buff Tank damage.
The result was the dominance of tank comps in season2/3 then the absolute dominance of caster cleaves in season 4.
Sadly he didn’t bother buffing every spec to be viable in PVE as well. Which is kinda ironic cause it would have been much easier and more popular overall.
Well actually blizzard balanced the game for PvE, they never cared about PvP.
Belive it or not but Tank damage was nerfed in original wotlk, Concussion Blow and Shield slam use to hit dubble what they do now

This aint a boxing match 1 vs 1… make a group , find mind liking people, use the defense channel , whatever it takes. its war out there…
then kill that stupid warrior and camp him
Tanks are almost unkillable and almost useless in arena at high ratings because they can be countered so hard. Tanks are good at casual BG pvp.
Well 90% of people doesn’t play at high ratings, maybe its the problem

Which is irrelevant, they cant balance it around low ratings where people dont use their head/learn. No game does that.
What? You dont enjoy those 6k revenge crits into 4k shockwave crits???

If you want to have succesfull PvP mode with big participation you need to cater to average gamer.
If you want to have super competitive e-sport, you have to cater to top 2% ultra competitive players.
Its up to Blizzard what they want I guess.
The more unbalanced the game is on “average player” level the less participation you will have. It is very good if the game is balanced for top 2% players but that doesn’t ensure you participation.

was playing 2s skirmish and got hit for 15k by sweeping strikes revenge followed up immediately by a 6.5k mortal strike. that was with 25k armor and 750 resilience.
tanks have always been this op in wrath.
the thing is, they scale way less with gear compared to actual DPS specs.
they’re gonna fall off pretty hard survival wise when we stack arp.
Am I the only PvP tank (protect paladin) in the world struggling hard against casters such as Frost Mage or Ele Shaman? Because reading this thread, it seems I am 
everyone knows casters hard counter paladins.
in fact pretty much only prot warrior has this dmg problem
You’re completly wrong, on ICC I will smack with my revenge for 12k flat.
rofl if you’re stacking damage, sure.
you’re gonna get smacked alot harder though if thats the case

The other dps or healer.
Lol mby u were dreaming, its not possible to hit for 6,5k mortal vs 25k armor player rn, even later u wont hit for that strong…
bro if you are gemming resilience (which wouldnt surprise me) then i can see how you think 6.5k mortal strike isn’t possible lul
