What many people, including some of the guys in the comments here, fail to understand:1) VDHs mitigation is middle of the pack with Fiery Soul (its good, but a 15%dr on average is !not! op for a legendary, which requires two otherwise mostly dead talents) and bottom tier without. It needs its mobility to shine, its a tradeoff, not a cherry on top of the cake.2) Dont act like its world of kitecraft. BDKs can faceroll anything below 20, and 15s mostly without any external healing. If you cant, its your fault. And probably bad runepower usage. Warriors and Brms can facetank just as much, yeah they do require external healing, but their mitigation makes up for it. Bears can facetank everything during Incarn or Niya Convoke, and are relatively easy to heal outside of those windows, theyre just vulnerable at the opening. The only classes who !have! to kite at 15ish keys are VDH and Paladin, thats why those classes are blessed with a dps advantage after all.
People complaining about kiting being such a major part of tanking most likely heard someone who tanks +20 discuss kiting meta in a video or a post and are now parroting them without understanding the topic. Kiting is not really much of a thing below +15s, you'll maybe have to jump out of a pack to let some bleed fall off or to wait for mitigation to recharge, not actually drag the pack around while dps kills it. It becomes an important tool in +17s and it only becomes a major part of tanking in +18s and above. And the reason kiting becomes such a big part of tanking in high keys is because with our current gear we are not really supposed to be doing those keys yet. And even in lower keys only DH and Brewmaster really have to kite at all, druids, warriors and paladins can pretty much facetank everything aside from the weeks with raging or necrotic. Tanks are very much balanced right now in terms of survivability and damage, the only reason DH has such a big representation is because they are very easy to kite on, and it doesnt make them OP considering that the stuff they have to kite every other tank can just facetank without a problem.
Came to get more understanding of the CL change.Just DH and tank tears, and calls for Arms/WW nerfs. Props to the like 3 people who addressed the topic.
Forgive me if I missed it in a previous post, but chain lightning currently hits 5 total targets....this update shows it hits 3 total. Is this part of the buff? I haven't seen this mentioned prior to today.
Buff havoc you cowards
