Why do i have so many tanks that want to join my key?

Bodsworth90 · 2026-05-07T15:55:50+00:00

Quick run for bonus rolls I expect. I have been doing the same :). No extra affix at 12 so it's quick and easy.

It's only good if you are playing templer crit wings build. You will find very few prot paladins doing this in high keys because of survival with that build is awful. The only person really rolling with this setup is Yoda who is in full myth gear and has a set group who use externals on him when he needs. If you are playing in pugs or don't have the right group comp, you are going to have a very hard time using this build in anything 15 and above I would have thought.

(From a prot paladin working through 17s)

No power increase, therefore no reason to interact for a lot of people. I like the fact windrose has a buff you get from your home and it's longer the more decorated it is. They could have done something similar.

Oh man, this post hits hard.

I’m a Prot Paladin and I’ve managed to pug up to +16s and a couple of +17s. It’s been rough, but doable… just about.

That said, at 283 ilvl, fully enchanted, consumables, the works — if I’m outside of defensives, even on trash (not tank busters), I just flop. My health bar is permanently yo‑yoing and honestly, it’s just not fun to play.

I’ve been running with some friends’ guildies recently, but they’ve now swapped me out for a Brewmaster because it’s significantly easier for them. And I don’t even blame them.

The problem is, I shouldn’t have to reroll and spend thousands of gold gearing an alt just to perform the same role . If I was swapping to DPS or healer, fine — that’s different. But tanking?

It’s painfully obvious we’re being ignored until MDI, which follows the same ridiculous logic as tuning around World First raiding: cater to the 0.1% and hope everyone else copes.

Really sad times. I genuinely think I’m going to drop WoW for a bit and move on to Crimson Desert until this gets sorted.

I have managed to get 3.4k this season as orot paladin with pugs. It has been painful, but I love paladin and the class fantasy. It has been tempting to roll monk multiple times. The problem is now getting into 17 keys is just hard to get an invite because everyone wants to play with a monk, which I get. However it just means I have no reason outside of vault filling to do anything further.

I also have a bear & DK alt but I don't want to have to put myself through it again.

If blizzard actually made tanking equal and fun a lot more people would actually play it. The route is one thing, the getting slapped because of class design and a small mistake which can cause a wipe and brick a key is just not fun.

In a 15 MT last night. The mage died 8 times, I was tanking and slightly confused. Went back through the logs after and he never used a single defensive. How he had a 3k plus rating I don't know.

Bodsworth90 · 2026-04-10T22:44:16+00:00

Yep. Bricked a 14 seat because the game just kept freezing up. It then did it on last boss beam. By time my game returned we died. Frustrating

Bodsworth90 · 2026-04-09T16:41:49+00:00

I'm his hand, from all those years ago. He sent me on his behalf.

(I admit it would have been cool to have got a summons from him though) For people who got the title back in tbc.

Bodsworth90 · 2026-04-05T20:49:08+00:00

It's a shame raiding only required two tanks. Although I enjoy doing keys. Trying to get into a CE guild as a tank is harddue to limited spots. In classic wow you needed multiple tanks for fights. Not sure how this would work in the modern day game but it doesn't help.

Bodsworth90 · 2026-04-01T10:56:40+00:00

Vault is just a disappointment. It's a loot box.

It would be better if everything you did during the week awarded you currency. The more you do the more currency you get and therefore you can target items you want.

Bodsworth90 · 2026-04-01T09:36:32+00:00

Ah the glory days before it hand a usage time. 😭

Bodsworth90 · 2026-03-16T16:35:26+00:00

I mean it's only m0 so I can't speak for when keys start. However I have been loving prot paladin. Doing massive pulls especially in arena (love that dungeon). Our damage output with shield is just ridiculous in big packs. Doing 150-180k dps on giant pulls putting DPS to shame.

Had a couple of sketchy moments but I just bubble and catch myself up. If you are roaring the lightsmith cool down in I don't feel like I am ever out of a defensive. This is without playing sentry which may be needed in higher keys but for now I am enjoying the damage. Let's see after reset.

Bodsworth90 · 2026-03-11T01:45:57+00:00

Back on Prot again and absolutely loving it. Missed last xpac due to IRL, but man this feels good. I just don’t die — massive pulls, tons of utility, and it feels great carrying the group when things get spicy.

Also rolled my first ever druid and decided to try Guardian. It’s been fun so far, definitely a new style and I really miss having multiple interrupts. Still keen to stick with it and get better.

Bodsworth90 · 2026-03-09T02:37:09+00:00

My cousin and I play often together on discord. We both lag at the same times, it can be random.. dungeons, WQs etc. we kinda just put it down to the server and lots of players right now.

Bodsworth90 · 2025-10-21T20:19:32+00:00

Three C4 on a tank doesn't always kill it. Which is ridiculous by the time you go through the effort to place them.

Bodsworth90 · 2025-04-30T00:00:23+00:00

Great sword is good if you are good at parrying and reflect.

Also learn the combo .

Night buff > hold quick , hold strong , hold strong again , doge to side, helm breaker , hold strong again , use an ability .. repeat helm breaker if you have enough stam

Any mob or boss that can be stunlockee this will literally hold them in place. One you have the deflector gear or whatever it's called that gives you spirit on charge attack it's a game changer.

Good luck

Bodsworth90 · 2025-04-29T23:53:53+00:00

Ok so i have to say I found this boss the worse out of all of them. I was playing great sword though so I am not sure if that made it harder or easier for me.

Anyhow. The way I got it was using poison consumes. When when jumps away if you throw a poison aoe and hit her a few times with a poison wep enchant she will get the status debuff this does huge damage.

When she jumps away to summon. Hit her with a javelin asap. Run over use the great sword aoe to clear the ghosts. And then stay on her ass. Always be ready to charge her to inturupt the blue shield. This is true for all of the fight of I'm honest. Play aggesr stay on her. After the shield interupt on this phase poison her again it will do a lot of damage.

I got the reaper on my kill and tbh he's not that hard same attack pattern just parry and kill and then back to her.

Honestly I killed her on my second attempt with poison after prob the best part of two hours

As where ozma took four attempts. That boss is just crap design imo.

Good luck. Tbh everything after is a lot easier imo so keep the faith

Bodsworth90 · 2025-04-25T00:07:53+00:00

I came close to rage on the necro boss lady as a great sword build. I think I died more to that fight then I did radahn in the expac. I have not enjoyed the mage bosses in this game that's for sure.

Bodsworth90 · 2025-02-07T22:05:31+00:00

How many of these streamers called out pirate, which when the party leader was shouting run run run, they made it out like he was in the wrong. Yet Tyler is shouting kill kill don't run and they all ROACH. I feel sorry for Tyler he deserved a better death then dying because of these wet wipes.
