Is there a TLDR here somewhere?
This article is poorly written. There are a lot of run-on sentences where it's unclear what point is being made. There are a few instances where it sounds like you've transcribed the spoken word and it sounds strange in writing. And it also assumes the reader has prior knowledge, isolating any reader who hasn't played during previous expansions.Example:"Who does not remember the glorious days of the end of Firelands and the beginning of Dragon Soul, a time when mastery actually did something, where our toolkit suddenly felt like a breath of fresh air compared to earlier in the expansion, and where we were considered top dogs for the overwhelming majority of bosses in the last tier of the expansion?""Who does not remember" is a strange thing to say, and even using "doesn't" would still be weird because thousands of people reading this won't remember the end of Firelands because they weren't raiding back then. This opening paragraph is one sentence. It would be easier to read if it were several, and if it weren't phrased as a rhetorical question. Another problem is that several acronyms are used without defining what they mean, such as EHRPS or DTPS.
Really interesting post but.... can someone create a new thread called "Should I Switch to Hunter in Patch 8.3? - An Idea" ? KAPPA
So TIL: BDKs won't be as good as people are making them out to be.
It is because of posts like these that I paid the membership. You guys are amazing doing the work that needs to be done to put forward all this information. Thank you! Great read!
It will all be fun and games until Blizzard realizes they’re over performing and either buff others or nerf Blood to the ground.
Avoidance cap for prot pala was a pseudo-thing in Legion, I tried it with a really nifty build and it had 104% parry/dodge/block combined passively except when you used SotR because of the set bonus giving you 10% block only if it wasn't up. It was fun, but I would really prefer to have the high skill 60% damage reduction SotRs back instead of that. Having a passive 10% on consec is absolutely boring, timing SotRs between as much AAs as possible was rewarding combined with the off global HotP healing for % missing HP.
When they clear raids DURING AN EXPANSION, with a full team of a single class, other than DKs (or Druids) we'll talk. No? No other has Brez. I still remmember there was that raid group back in MoP that cleared most, if not all, SoO bosses, where there were only DKs. And before this DH-solo thingy came to be, there were a lot of DKs soloing stuff, there are still some, but Blizz had to cut down on their DPS by a huge margin (BDK), or their survivability, to not become godlike (Frost/UH).Keep buffing monks, DHs, but Druids and DKs will still be my favourite tanks. And I hope Shadowlands bring back some of BDKs true identity, or even more.
