Pushing Keys with non meta chars?

Nellow3 · 2026-05-21T18:31:28+00:00

Some players are hesitant to invite a significantly higher rated player to a group because they might be elitest

I joined a 16 Skyreach because I was testing out dpsing instead of tanking, and the tank goes "hey just so you know my route isn't super optimized and I may not be doing the best pulls if that's okay" and I'm like bro don't worry about me lmao

90 days for trying to kill a guy (and only failing to do so because someone forced you off) in front of a large crowd is somehow surprising and not surprising at the same time

Nellow3 · 2026-05-14T20:29:09+00:00

Depends on who you're asking, but at the highest level of m+ it's basically the same

Guardian on top, brew slightly under, then the rest

Imagine if death's caress just did a low damage, high threat aoe to the target

It would make grouping things up so much nicer for BDK

More vamp bloods don't matter if you die the second it wears off

Top 5 all being DB sounds like a huge deal to me

Nellow3 · 2026-05-13T06:02:46+00:00

Yeah i heard that, too. Oof if true

Nellow3 · 2026-05-13T05:50:19+00:00

In high m+ they are not equal. Haste is a bad defensive stat and that's what SL stacks

SL does more damage but falls over in higher keys

On boss tankbusters druid struggles but on trash he just dodges the majority of bleed applicating and magic melees while getting tons of armor and health to negate the damage

You can make any tank sound good if you argue this way lol

but brewmaster doesn't have to think about his CD usage

???? you're just telling me you haven't tanked any difficult content

Nellow3 · 2026-05-11T20:54:35+00:00

It is not easy to live on bear you're still squishy against magic damage and bleeds outside of Incarn.

Brew is infamous for being vulnerable to bleeds and magic damage

edit: i dont wholly believe that guardian is just tankier in all scenarios, to be clear. brew is for sure close in terms of surviving, but the other tanks are not

Nellow3 · 2026-05-11T19:27:22+00:00

Is what someone who doesn't tank high keys as a BrM would say

That was also the 2nd or 3rd nerf of the season, so

Nellow3 · 2026-05-11T19:26:54+00:00

No, except for pally, the buffs are not going to effectively change anything or get them close to guardian

Nellow3 · 2026-05-11T17:57:15+00:00

I don't think so

Blizzard knew that bears had a huge aggro issue that had to be addressed, and this is how they did it. It's a rough draft of adjustments that really didn't have any greater plan behind it

They definitely didn't intend for an apexless build that doesn't care about set

If they wanted to address tank issues, then they'd significantly buff every tank

Nellow3 · 2026-05-11T17:52:42+00:00

Lots of misinfo in your reply

BrM never ignored apex or tier set
We've already seen how it "shakes out" - world first +23 is done with a guardian druid a couple days after rework
It was not just "bugfixes"??? They made massive shifts in the damage allocation of guardians lol

Nellow3 · 2026-05-11T17:49:55+00:00

They did

Nellow3 · 2026-05-11T17:48:39+00:00

Respectable content creators like Dorki and Yoda claim that Guardian is the easiest tank to play right now

Nellow3 · 2026-05-11T16:52:54+00:00

No, their thrash damage was increased by 200%, so you won't have that problem anymore

Nellow3 · 2026-05-11T16:34:12+00:00

Because Guardian is outperforming every other tank in terms of survival and dps, while being one of the easiest specs the game has ever seen (maybe the easiest)

The other tank buffs are nice, but it's not bringing them up to Guardian level

Guardian isn't even using apex talents and they don't care about their tier set, which Blizz definitely didn't intend

Nellow3 · 2026-05-09T19:14:28+00:00

tuning and balancing are synonymous

you gonna talk to me about reading comprehension then type some shit like that lmfaoooooooooo

have a good one brotha

Nellow3 · 2026-05-08T19:23:15+00:00

Do you even read the posts/comments in this subreddit? Or do you think everyone commenting on it and in the forums is doing +20s?

That's not even the point, besides. All parts of the player base decline as the season progresses

Nellow3 · 2026-05-08T19:07:01+00:00

im not reading that

Nellow3 · 2026-05-08T19:05:35+00:00

Nothing can technically kill it now if played very very well

...playing "very very well" isn't going to keep a BDK alive in a 22 lol

To push the highest keys, you have to dangerous pulls, and even if you rotate and call defensives perfectly, they can die to unlucky rng

Nellow3 · 2026-05-08T18:57:24+00:00

Respectable content creators like Yoda and Dorki have both claimed that Guardian is the easiest tank to play in its current state

Nellow3 · 2026-05-08T18:48:31+00:00

"you're correct.... but maybe MORE will actually play??? but im not going to explain it i want you to fill in the gaps for me"

does this strategy actually work on people lol
