What Blizzard did to tanks? No avoid, no defense rating, just play haste and do dps, i really wish we get tanks to be tanks again, not big hp haste dps machines. Death Knights without pressences? Makaka Bre Blizzard, make tanks awesome again, bring back parry ratting/dodge ratting, defense ratting, STAT REFORGE npc, that was awesome era of WOW.
I find it a bit ironic that a DK, which has never been a strong avoid tank ever, is starting this thread…
If it were a paladin or warrior wanting to get back to 102,4% combined avoidance it would make much more sense…
That said, when my WoG goes off I have 106% block on Protadin, a total of 104% dodge /parry /block when usind SoR. And I´m fairly certain that warriors are similar, at least when shield wall is up (which was always the case even back in Wrath, crush immune with shield wall, crushable without it…)
Def rating is irrelevant now because simply by being in tank spec you geat your crit immunity.
Long story short, while I understand the sentiment and like to reminisce about ZA runs, I don´t necessarily agree that current tank design is problematic… Haste has always been a primary focus for BDK because it increases your rune regeneration rate = more heart strikes = fast RP generation = more Death strikes = more self healing and a bigger blood shield. Though with the current way death strike works it´s questionable whether that really still makes sense, I´ve seen some theorycrafters propose going hard for mastery, instead (More ap,bigger blood shield), but then you start winding up with downtime…
