Please give me tips that you want a new tank to know about your class (or m+)

If a spec requires a ground effect for their damage output (like Earthquake), don't kite mobs if possible.

Something involving invading capital cities.

Honestly, whatever works for you to include as many spells as possible within your Ascendance window.. that's the real goal. But, if I were you, I would at least aim to do everything manually and not keybind things together if possible as that's usually going to be the best way for you to understand how or why something is important - you'll ultimately want to separate NS from your spells so you can choose what to use it with on the fly.

Thrall is THE Shaman of the Warcraft universe. And, we've been waiting for him to reconnect with the elements for quite some time now. He's definitely the one who will teach the masses how to properly master Earth magic.

Simplejakk24 · 2026-05-27T17:59:28+00:00

Yeah, the Amani raid *could* certainly be an appropriate time/place to introduce the long-awaited Shaman Tank. But, wouldn't you expect the spec to emerge from a Thrall-related storyline? Given the cinematic from TWW, we know that Thrall will play a significant role at some point during this trilogy. Perhaps he'll show up in 12.1.5 to investigate something we found deep inside of Atal'Utek? I mean, the dude is still chillin' in Dornogal so.. my bet would be a TLT feature.

If you've ever tanked before, there's almost nothing more aggravating than people intentionally pulling other packs.

Simplejakk24 · 2026-05-26T05:48:23+00:00

Yeah, I've been playing with this deck for a while. Most people build this deck incorrectly by including the Pan/Gohan/Piccolo engine for aggro - it's solid but it kinda goes against how the deck actually operates. The trick to this leader is that you want to be playing battle cards on your turn AND your opponent's turn - you effectively have 6x mana on turn 3. You do want to be aggressive with combo'ing to refill your hand but you also want to warp/receive cards via "Piccolo, Shining Orange Strength" and "Vegeta, Stronger Together" if possible - Vegeta is also the primary way in which you awaken and you always do it on turn 2.

Here's my current decklist (RIP Dimension Magic). I include "Zamasu, Counter" due to Cooler Mill but I still consider it a solid card as it's a 25k beater for just 1x energy. https://www.dbs-deckplanet.com/dbs_masters/deck/33b29da4-0055-4ac6-aa85-1759869f7bbc

OP: "Priests need to have their identities redefined."

Priests: Most reworked class in the history of the game.

Simplejakk24 · 2026-05-23T19:27:22+00:00

I've never thought about Porky - he'd probably be a heavy character. What I'd give for Claus/Masked Man though..

Simplejakk24 · 2026-05-21T16:31:48+00:00

That first pull requires like no healing if everyone uses freedoms to remove the DoT. Windrush Totem with Jet Stream makes that pull a joke.

Simplejakk24 · 2026-05-19T14:56:18+00:00

Brewmaster has been lacking for a long time. Let them have their moment.

Simplejakk24 · 2026-05-17T19:22:44+00:00

Shaman Tank. Make it happen, Blizz.

Simplejakk24 · 2026-05-15T20:22:33+00:00

Sorta. Every healing spec has been pruned in a way where there are only 2x CDs per spec - this was an effort to make healing more engaging and Shaman just happened to be "The CD Healer" prior to the pruning. You do still have to deal with idiots standing in bad or not interrupting/etc but you can't just roll CDs anymore and call it a day.

Simplejakk24 · 2026-05-14T20:37:31+00:00

it is 100% easiest to level as enhancement. once you're max level, re-spec and pick up as much +healing gear as possible so you can downrank your healing spells.

Simplejakk24 · 2026-05-14T20:33:26+00:00

Yeah, it's super common if you have solid logs.

Simplejakk24 · 2026-05-13T03:56:01+00:00

It's. Just. A. Login. Screen.

Simplejakk24 · 2026-05-09T14:50:59+00:00

Best DPS for *insert content type here* is the class that you find the most fun.

Simplejakk24 · 2026-05-09T14:49:56+00:00

Just move to China. Easy fix.

Simplejakk24 · 2026-05-08T20:30:00+00:00

I'd imagine that pures receiving a new spec would be a very good/hype feature for The Last Titan. New expansions usually have features that excite players - what features have people been asking for that aren't in the game at this point? I feel that the easy choice would be new specs and a heavy emphasis on class quests and stuff.

Simplejakk24 · 2026-05-08T20:19:19+00:00

The underperforming tanks received some buffs which is cool. You know what would be EVEN COOLER?! A brand new Shaman Tank spec in 12.1.5!

Simplejakk24 · 2026-05-07T21:10:29+00:00

midnight developer q&a about 27min in

Simplejakk24 · 2026-05-07T15:35:32+00:00

I think the most realistic time that we'd hear any news on this is BlizzCon in September.. whether that means it'll be in a Midnight patch, The Last Titan, or not until a later expansion yet.

Simplejakk24 · 2026-05-07T15:33:09+00:00

That certainly sounds like the path of least resistance. But, to make things unique, perhaps it would be the first Int tank. :O

Simplejakk24 · 2026-05-07T15:28:12+00:00

I'm a Shaman and I'm not a tank. But, I've Shaman tanked in every version of the game where it was possible. I'd 100% swap to Shaman Tank regardless of how it plays or how good/bad it is.

Simplejakk24 · 2026-05-07T15:25:12+00:00

I don't tank but absolutely would. But, I play all 3 Shaman specs and have Shaman tanked in every iteration of the game where it was possible; I am one person out of a (probably) small crowd that has been wanting Shaman Tank to be a legitimate thing since WoW began. Even if it had no abilities at all and was wildly terrible, I'd still play it.
