Pls do not buff threat generation in 1.3

It's normally what happens when group finders are added. You have to make the group runs easier because you have to play to the lowest common denominator. If tanking is tough, people complain that the tanks sucks and then less tanks queue up.

In some respects I agree, but it is needed. Despite the %increase dps threat scales much.higher with gear than tanks since tanks dps increases much less significantly than dps with gear.

And during progression when you're trying to get that kill you don't wanna be using dps gear or stacking accuracy as a tank just to keep up on threat in those first seconds, which are the most important.

We've all found work arounds using CD, power adrenal and perfecting our opening rotation to allow dps to nuts straight away. But eventually as gear increases it'll reach the point where we can't match them. And they won't be able to slow down or they won't meet the enrage timers.

Someone gets it.

This is a fallacy. The last time I logged into WoW, Call to Arms (you know, the tank bribe) was on...Tank. As it had been pretty much all day, every day, since the CTA inception.

This is after they made tanking ezmode.

This is after they put in the bribes.

This is after they put in the DS 5-mans, which are short and easy, and dropped good gear.

EZmode tanking does not lead to more tanks in the queue because it does not address the root problem - tanking is a thankless job, healing is a thankless responsibility, and dps is a faultless blamefest.

This change should not go live - ever. If more threat is needed later, it can be added via a scalable system, as others have mentioned. That said, all tanks appear to be taking a dps nerf, so perhaps this band-aid is temporarily needed. Temporarily. I would rather they just realize that tank damage doesn't need to be nerfed...

By the way...you don't miss Enrage timers because your dps had to wait 5 seconds. You miss Enrage timers because your dps haven't learned to maximize the fight yet. End of story.
