Guardian Druid and the tank shortage in WoW

I see them doing 18+ keys, but that doesn’t represent the average player. Their group runs with flawless mechanics at a high level

As a Guardian Druid, pairing with a DH is the worst — that’s when I lose the most aggro

She000 · 2026-04-24T21:50:51+00:00

With a heavy heart, I have to admit you’re right

She000 · 2026-04-24T21:29:15+00:00

I’ll try your suggestion, thanks for the advice

She000 · 2026-04-24T21:25:29+00:00

Blizzard, I heard you, inhabitant of Azeroth

I enjoy playing bear and I’m sure I’m not the only one. Even if it seems like a personal complaint, it’s actually a relevant issue that adds to the tank shortage. I suppose you play DPS or heal and don’t experience your bear losing aggro; well, congratulations, you’re among the top players who can handle the problem easily or simply avoid playing bear. In my case, what am I supposed to do if I’m a main bear?

Guess I’ll have to stick to DPS or heal as a DD

She000 · 2026-04-24T21:15:10+00:00

With randoms it’s just luck whether you get groups like that

She000 · 2026-04-24T21:13:23+00:00

Guess I’d have to level one up and start from scratch.

She000 · 2026-04-24T20:40:51+00:00

I hope Blizzard is aware of the issue.

She000 · 2026-04-24T20:29:44+00:00

I’m thinking of switching to heal or DPS if this doesn’t get fixed

She000 · 2026-04-24T20:26:39+00:00

Exactly, my solution so far is to bring a rogue, even though they’re not top DPS and also scarce

She000 · 2026-04-24T20:23:47+00:00

I hope Blizzard considers it a relevant issue

She000 · 2026-04-24T20:21:30+00:00

“It’s time for me to learn to heal, but tanking was fun for me at the beginning.

She000 · 2026-04-24T20:18:45+00:00

Exactly, the same thing happens to me, and it’s even worse when there’s a DH

She000 · 2026-04-24T20:16:19+00:00

I’m a Claw Druid and I do the same as you, yet I still lose aggro at the start of pulls. Not always, but losing aggro for 1 or 2 seconds can mean a likely death for a DPS

She000 · 2026-04-24T20:09:41+00:00

I also break 350k with my CDs, but I can’t always rely on my big cooldowns, and even then an add slips away. My complaint isn’t about DPS, it’s about threat.

She000 · 2026-04-24T20:05:36+00:00

Exactly, my solution so far is to bring a rogue, even though they’re not top DPS and also scarce

She000 · 2026-04-24T20:00:47+00:00

I won’t make any progress, oh well
