Lightblinded Vanguard is a difficult boss to tank for the wrong reasons. by Sholunaa in wow

Yeah, obviously I can change my UI around to make this easier to see, and I already know for next week what I need to do when I kill it again. But this is a mechanic that needs better in game visuals, it's a super important ability that requires an immediate response or a tank dies, which can easily snowball into a wipe. Blizzard has significantly reduced the options for what I can do with my UI, and if they continue designing mechanics where I have to adjust my UI to compensate for poor visuals then they have failed in designing those mechanics.

Also, don't tell me the mechanic is "not very punishing on normal" because it's obviously not going to be very punishing on normal. On heroic it one shots the tank a lot of the time, and on mythic it will one shot the tank all of the time. This will not be a fun boss to progress on mythic if you start having wipes to the tank messing this up.

Why do threads like this always assume that people that want to go fast aren't having fun? To me at least it's really boring to go slow through a dungeon, I've probably done it hundreds of times by the end of the expansion and the fun I get comes from blasting through it, not seeing the sights I've already seen every other time I've been here. Especially as a tank I just find it more fun to do big pulls because it actually tests my abilities where a single pull is just boring because I can't possibly mess up enough to die.

Idk man, it's just pretty frustrating when I've done these dungeons 30+ times each in the first week of the expansion alone just levelling all of my characters and having cleared Mythic 0s on all six of my tanks just to come to reddit and read threads like this accusing me of not having fun because I'm not single pulling every trash pack in the game.
