6/6 tank classes can play as melee DPS
3/6 tank classes can play as healer
1/6 tank classes can play as ranged DPS
Only 1 has this option.
Please invest resources into adding a tank specialization to any class that can play as ranged DPS as well.
There are no mail tanks on game.
Every Season as a player I am disgruntled by having to choose between playing a class that can tank (which I prefer in Mythic+) orba class that can ranged DPS (which I prefer in Raid) - I gave druid an honest shot and I just dislike the class .
Provide the playerbase with additional option of choice please. I am aware that creating a new spec adds more cost to balancing the game.
I can only hope you will add such a spec in the next expansion.
Do we really need more tanking speccs? People generally dont want to tank at all, there is a reason why most players are dps and why we have a shortage of tanks.
For years Iâve been supporting the idea of giving the 4 mono-role classes (Mage, Warlock, Rogue, Hunter) an additional role. Itâs too unfair for the players of those classes to be limited to only dpsing.
As for the rest, there are a few âcheckboxesâ left empty:
Any pure DPS Class would benefit from expanding its gameplay options.
Blizzard must provide players with more options to play a tank and ranged dps in 1 class.
To counter your argument , wow has 13, classes , 39 specs , only one of them has 4 specs and it happen to be the same one that can be tank and ranged dps.
Lets remove balance druid , so everything is in order , no 4 spec classes, no ranged and tank combo . Ezpz solve
Also blizz will have eazier life as they seem to not be able to balance balance (heh) its either OP or crap
We kinda do - Monk, it just so happens to be wearing leather (instead of cloth) in WoW. Maybe trade (or add) one of the Priestâs specs for a Harbringer class (perfect for TWW aintit) - cloth-wearing dark warrior with a gigantic spellsword to cleave through enemies. Kinda like that spell in Dark Souls.
Arcane Warrior from Dragon Age, in WoW best matching class would be mage. Using spells to make yourself invincible (self-buffs that also debuff your casting speed so you canât effectively cast spells if you do that) and AoE debuffing/damaging auras around you. Like a living walking black hole. Do it. I wanna play that.
Shaman tank. Weâve been asking and Blizzard has been teasing this for 20 years⌠Who knows if it will happen.
Wonât happen cuz it breaks game logic, you canât have everything in an RPG. There is a balance between power, defense and speed/mobility, you can only choose 2 of those 3. If you want the first 2, youâd have to have zero mobility (or cast extremely slowly) for that. And nobody will play slow classes.
As a hypothetical - removing boomkin would delete the tank + ranged combo from game. It is not what I argue for and as such I disagree with it.
I argue for expanding player options to play both tank and ranged DPS with one class.
As to blizz employeesâ ease of job - I acknowledge that adding more specs would add another layer of complexity. The ease of Blizz employeesâ job is not my concern at all.
I think shamans would fit best. They can already use shields and such.
So some type of spec where you use âearthâ to make yourself tanky could fit, I think.
If hunters would be given such a thing, I would want it to be a completely new spec and not changing any existing ones. Maybe a spec where the hunter takes on an aspect of a certain beast and becomes more tanky and the damage the hunter receives would be divided between the hunter and the pet. Such a thing could maybe work?
But having said all that⌠Even if such a thing was added to the game; most people wouldnât play it anyway. Tanking is and never will be popular.
Shamans are probably the best to do this but Iâd also like to put priest in the mix. Shadow priests are grumpy and bolshy and would make excellent tanks as well as ranged dps.
