I don't like nerfs
Look at those Guardian Druid buffs! Awesome!Lot's of small things, but overall I'm happy. Especially with the druid changes. The brewmaster nerfs are a joke, but hopefully this is only the beginning.DKs should be weaker in m+, but I don't expect this to change their raid utility much. I still remember tanking MOTHER on my DK alt for the first time, and just laughing at the winds.ed.: I was happy too early... Ursol's Vortex at the same talent tier as Wild Charge? Seriously?
Aaaaaaaaaand not a single buff to Vengeance DH... sigh... believe me I'm happy that you Guardian Druid's and Prot Warriors are getting some buffs, you needed it as well. But DH has been the absolute bottom raid tank for 6 raids now... its getting old. WE NEED MORE MITIGATION UPTIME! More mitigation in general honestly. What do we have? Demon Spikes, Fiery Brand, and Metamorphasis (on an insanely long cooldown). Compare that to any other tank. Especially Paladins and Druids. They have absolutely no problem maintaining 100% uptime and can also easily stack CD's for more mitigation without worry. I know this because I mained Guardian during Antorus. After the prepatch, my Druid still had no issues whatsoever with Heroic Argus. My DH however, NORMAL felt like Heroic did during 7.3.5. So damn spiky and having to try different talents to make it work. I ended up going with Soul Barrier, which still didnt work as well as it should have because of the 30 second CD. Seriously, we need another (at least one, but honestly, two would be fair) baseline mitigation. Not talent, not azerite trait, BASELINE.While I'm at it, I posted a thread in the Demon Hunter forums on here, if you guys could check it out and give me feedback, I'd appreciate it.
This feels like Legion Guardian Druid all over again
I think a pretty big change is that physical ranged attacks will be blockable, which is another huge buff to Prot warrior and paladin.
I’m going to be really blunt right now: I don’t you’re good at playing the spec. No, it doesn’t perform as well monk or DK, but it is FAR from the bottom. It could benefit from some tweaks to its cooldowns, but, overall, it’s in a decent place, and super fun to play.
My favorite quote for the past 3 expansions is them stating that there won't be any massive or spiky damage. Just steady damage.
How to fix Guardian:
Brewmaster needs a much bigger nerf. Blood DK ok. Vengeance needs a buff and Prot Warrior needs a bigger buff. take off the rage cost of shield block and give like 5% more armor OR stam, and we good IMO
Look at those dk again crying for nothing :D And ofc kids not happy monk still best.
As a brewmaster main(since antorus), I feel like brewmaster itself needs very little nerfing or changes, the reason why it feels so strong is because comparatively to other tanks warrior/druid/dh these classes have so much less defensive capability than they used to. For the majority of legion monk was not the fotm tank despite almost not being changed at all going from legion to bfa (EK removal, MV removal is really all it lost). I think removing ISB is a wrong decision because unless you make purifying act as an active mit (which doesnt make any sense purifying before a mechanic hits you) I think if you want to nerf ISB you have to nerf light brewing because that talent makes it far too easy to maintain ISB 100% of the time.
