Soul, you really hit the nail in the head with Dragonflight being the first expansion where they didn't have to really fix an issue that was present the whole expansion (Legion Legendaries & Corruptions finally being put on a vendor, things made account-wide that should always have been that way, etc. ) I've always felt that the end of the expansion has been the best time to play WoW for this reason. Simimlarly, I've always hated the first patch of a new expansion since that is when you feel the weakest since they take away all the borrowed power that you have been used to.

You missed how intentional my wording was: DPS deals the team's damage. Tanks prevent the team from taking extra damage. Healers prevent the team from dying. Not a dev or a healer, but I imagine that it'd feel good if at any given time, the healer has to split their attention evenly across the whole team. As in the team will always take a certain amount of unavoidable damage that the healer is responsible for but outside of that, good play on the dps and self heals/mitigation from the tank means equal attention from the healer.

I'm fine with 5/6 of the tanks needing significantly more external healing. Blood Death Knight, however, has always been the de-facto self sustain tank, where their healthbars are built to yo-yo. The defensive layer they increased was not high enough to prevent the excess yo-yo feel, but they did significantly reduce their ability to keep themselves in a stable state. Now healers won't want to work with BDK because they won't know if they're in a state where they can death strike to full, or if their death strikes will only get them partway there.

And no, BDK's shouldn't be the only tank that shouldn't need help, that would defeat the purpose of nerfing every other tank and unless you make it so BDK's do half the dps of every other tank everyone would just play BDK.

the goal is to smooth out tank damage. we haven't seen the required decreased mob damage yet (aside from the fortified nerf) that needs to accompany the tank changes in order to make this happen. a secondary goal is giving healers something else to do (throwing a few more heals on tanks) so that there doesn't have to be big damage on the DPS to challenge the healers. Ideally, it seems the goal is to have more consistent, predictable, less-spiky damage that healers have to deal with. if this lets healers heal and not be second class DPSers, this should be a big W.

I really enjoyed DF almost all the way through, I didn’t like the renown locked content. Loved going to forbidden reach and amirdrassil for the first time. Both those zones were super fun for me. Like you, I really enjoyed just flying around and looking for neat stuff. I feel like DF really accomplished that well. Never much downtime because of all the events as well. Though I didn’t love the grind and slow building of professions, I think it was the first time where I wanted to try out every profession! I thought there were enough interesting little subplots in every trade path that I was compelled to keep all my alts busy. Just wish it hadn’t been so tedious to max them out. I’m an altoholic so I wasn’t able to max every trade but I feel like the penultimate rewards for doing so were pretty good? They could have been huger. I’m not saying every trade should end with some sort of mount or mount equivalent, but it helps. Maybe the overreaching story arc of DF wasn’t as amazing as previous expansions, but I really enjoyed getting a lot more depth out of the landscape and its denizens. Still sad we don’t have playable tuskarr or gnolls though. I’m an anomaly as I really liked both Legion AND Warlords, but I feel like maybe DF surpasses. I don’t know that I’m so much excited about TWW as I am all the QOL changes that make the game better. Not just alt friendly, but player friendly. It’s been 20 years, they might as well get started in that.

Most tank content creators' reaction was overly emotional, reactive, not holistic and they caused undue panic. I credit you, Soul, for not falling into that trap. 👍 The issue that has been facing WoW for a long while now is due to the bloat of defensives and thus the bloat of incoming encounter mechanics and thus the bloat of stops / kicks and THUS an overwhelmingly unfun experience for everyone. Folks need to chill and let Blizzard cook for a while. They finally recognize the core issue and are STARTING to do something about it. It started with a reduction in DPS defensives, it's now at the tank defensives stage and next is the required encounter tuning stage which they specifically said they would do, and have already started doing. Let them cook, and maybe the community will stop panicking because almost every tank content creator / influencer went raging to post whines on their respective channels. Sheesh. We are all on the same team here and panic serves no one. Thanks for being a steady force, Soul.

Tanks and health pools needed changes, but it is important to note that a big reason healing, and lack of healers in some high end content, is because dps have way too many defensives with defensive creep ramping up each season with one shot mechanics requiring an insane amount of CC coordination and defensive usage. I agree tanks, especially with the new health changes, needed to be tuned down, but for everyone to miss that dps defensives and mechanics issues are far more troublesome is worrying. I would love to see defensive creep addressed next, but Hero talents added even more defensives into the game... we will see.

I have really enjoyed Dragonflight and totally looking forward to TWW. On the tank changes, I main a tank and mess around healing mostly to better understand how I can support better. Our guild is casual, going for AotC but generally avoid mythic raid. We get our portals but dont push too high on the key range. I have to say I still am not enjoying the current changes and here is why: in normal and pug content (not pushing keys) I have never been bored as a healer LOL. I appreciate not needing to spam heal the tank so I can pay attention to everything else going on. Now this is when playing with people who do not outgear the content. I do agree that a healer should not be concerned about having to push DPS, they need to focus on heals, negative effects and other stuff that negatively impact the performance of their team. I do not have a single healer in our guild that has ever once said "Man I wish I could heal the tank more I am SO bored". It just does not happen. As for tanks, I can live with the changes but in the content I run it is less fun TBH. I think the real issue is the attempt to combine the same rules to the casual player vs the MDI top %'s. They have made a first step in how they change the affixes which I think is in the right direction. That said, I really think that when they are dealing with World first pushes and top title ratings, these should be taken in a more controlled manner that do not get influenced by the standard gameplay. They have a similar approach to PvP (not that I am saying that would work here, just that it is handled differently). As an example, when dealing with race to world first for a raid, why not handle that like you do a beta. The teams sign up and port their character to a realm where the AH, boss loot and economy are controlled to exactly what Blizz wants to make for a challenging and fun to watch race without impacting those areas for the rest of the casual players in the game during this time period.

tanks need to be defensive not another DPS and healers need to heal not DPS....make them hurt harder so tanks are forced to take defensive abilities.

DF was pretty good from my point of view, although as I have told you many times before since I skipped the dark ages of borrowed power that modifies my perspective. I have taken a wait and see approach to the tuning approach Blizzard appears to be taking going into TWW. If it is turns out balanced cool, if tank survivability absolutely plummets well, we should all understand when it creates an environment with a significant number of un happy players who voice it and say I told you so. Because if the tank cannot stay alive nobody has fun in group content. It will require a significant shift in multiple roles that players choose to playing the game, and that could cause some issues given how far Blizzard moved away from a model where tank survivability was a significant factor over the course of what I guess is multiple expansions and thus years. The other side of this is healers will absolutely have less globals to burn on some DPS that is oblivious to the mechanic killing them that they could have avoided and the healer no longer has time to cover their ass. I think the big fear is Blizzard's track record with tuning especially at launch is not exactly regarded as being good. I dig the mug, what size of a mug is it? I need to know if it will blend in with the collection. Also is coopium done in lines, rolled, popped? The shirt yes anything that feels close to iron on in a hard no. Are you using the beefy T heavy cotton or light weight cotton which is more popular today? I hope for the later and that the print seamlessly blends in with the feel of the shirt. Otherwise I would be inclined to pass. Hope that makes since and is the feedback you were asking for. I have appreciated your profession guides and look forward to seeing the others. Keep up the great work dude!

Mug can come in different sizes so I'll make sure there're options for people. The shirt itself is soft which I like, and also makes the print feel all the more awkward with 0 breathing on the whole of the print. Hoping the version coming in will feel better.

The bones are still there. specs are more straightforward as in you don't have to jump to different spec trees to improve on a craft you like (alchemy is kind of an exception). and the switch from inspiration to concentration takes the guesswork out.

Not having watched the entire vid yet, but i kinda agree, i feel like tanks are a bit op atm. even with half hc/mythic gear from s3 into s4 i didnt really have an issue tanking +8-10 in a guild group where players knew what they were doing. even more so in raids, tanking feels kinda boring because you gear check hc raids super fast and tanks dont have that many mechanics to do in fights, mostly just taunt at the right place or run away with an explosion mechanic. Making me think when i need to use my defensives rather than almost on cd is way more interesting.

DF definitely felt like a breath of fresh air. I think in time it will rank with MoP and Legion. Also this has been the only time I've ever seen my guild steadily increase population throughout the expansion and have to do multiple raids just to get everyone who wants to raid in. I can only hope TWW meets what DF did.

That was mostly S1 right? I didn't notice the strain at the KSM level at least, and with the higher keys focusing on just the dungeon I figure it'll be easier to tune lower/higher keys independently so they don't affect everyone at once.

@@SoulSoBreezy Yeah it was. As someone who has tanked since vanilla i just honestly buckled under the preassure of having to remember different routes for different affixes and doing very specific pulls the same every time while also having to kite the mobs which i just really hated. I'd honestly rather have tanks being a bit too self reliant rather then having to kite. I dont know if there is a sweet spot because as soon as kiting becomes valuable its going to be "mandatory".

as a casual (I dont do anything mythic and to 90% only queueable content in pve/pvp), I was SO utterly bored during DF. dont get me wrong the alt-friendliness was awesome, but not having *any* system you could bite your teeth in was a BAD choice imo. no artifact weapon, no class hall/sanctum to upgrade, no mission table, no torghast, etc. give me at least one of these or something similar/new (power doesnt have to be tied to it), so i can grind for it and upgrade it. DF was 99% just staring at timers and idle in valdrakken and sitting in queues. and it looks like TWW will be the same... :/ I am SUPER disappointed.

Professions would have been the closest thing to scratch your itch. I look at patron crafting orders and compare them to a sort of mission table, meanwhile the outdoor activities seem cool but I haven't done enough hands on testing to say if they have any more depth than the barrage of activities DF offered all throughout.

Add crushing blow back and defense and require defense cap in order to enter heroics. This will fix tank issues, it will make DPS pay attention, and healers will need to heal again. Maybe Blizzard can stop making healers that focus on DPS instead of healing. A lot of healers stopped because 4 of the healers have some kind of DPS rotation to enhance their healing. While this may be fun for a small but loud part of the community it is not fun for everyone. I wish Blizzard would stop listening to "influencer" as they do not speak for the community as a whole. They only speak for themselves. All influencer do is change the game, then leave when the changes they pushed turn out to be shit. There is not one thing in modern WoW that is in place that "influencer" did not ask for at some point in time. Now most of them play Classic or SOD. Imagine that.
