What's your take on the tank changes as a healer? Have you seen a large spread of skill/competence in the tanks you've played with & how it affects how it feels to heal them? I'm somewhat terrified for pug keys, both from a tanking & healing pov. I've greatly enjoyed self-sufficiency when tanking, instead expressing skill in the careful & clean setup & execution of pulls, and the thought of having tanks that need constant upkeep alongside a group of monkey dps who soak avoidable damage when I'm healing.. I'm pretty anxious about season 1, especially early on. People have played like *s-h-i-t* in mid~low level pug keys (~8-13) all throughout DF s3 & s4, far beyond anything I've ever seen before (having done at least halfway decent key levels since BfA S4), and imagining those players in the context of TWW s1... eek.

Hey! I feel like the tank changes have been, overall, good. Tanks are still very strong, but now occasionally require help from their team. For better or worse, they more closely match the niches you'd expect (DH/Bear insane in meta, DK pretty much still needs no healer, Prot warrior does no healing but takes no damage, Brew still isn't played often haha). Prot Paladin has been the biggest loser, but frankly I've seen so few of them (unironically 1) I can't provide meaningful commentary. Massive spread of skill for sure. Over the course of beta I've played with people who get rank 1 for fun, and people *definitely* testing a class for the first time lol. 9/10 times, the the insane gamers never die unless limit testing, while the... learners... lose 1v1s to critters. ...Though I do see DHs die a lot more often than other tanks, must still think they're in DF XD... If this is the new standard for an m+ season, I think the community will need to shift their mindset a bit, which will take some time. Big damage blasting will always be important, but doing everything you can to keep yourself and your team alive vs some of these crazy bosses/pulls is going to be king for the majority of keystone levels. Personally, even with the past 2 months of beta experience, I'm expecting to get absolutely farmed for the first couple weeks as gamers without beta start catching up. Thankfully, we can focus on gearing / learning / having fun then, since m+ is always end-of-season centric Don't get me wrong, I've been getting farmed since June. I have AT LEAST 5 VoDs on my harddrive of +40 death Grim Batols. It's going to be a wild time for sure lol!

@@Jickolas Yeeeah I'm very likely going to go hard casual for a bit, for the first time since BfA. Thank goodness for warbands, account-wide reps, and delves. It's a shame that Blizz haven't yet realized, or at least haven't yet done any work to fix, the fact that their game is *d-o-g-s-h-i-t* at teaching players how to play. Some real resources being put into brainstorming, prototyping, and a hundred cycles of testing~feedback could potentially work absolute wonders for this game. The game identifying individual fuckups, privately alerting players to those fuckups, and offering effective resources for training. Accept that their own designers design the game to be played within a certain spectrum of ways, and lead people to & through appropriate instruction of those ways. For fucks sake, last season I had a 2,6k shaman, a SHAMAN!, whisper me on my shaman alt asking what shaman's kick spell was, because they'd never pressed it before. Thank you for the reply! Regards, one slightly nervous brew main.

Hey, did you try other healers during the beta? How do you think the paladin will turn out? RSham Rdruid are WAY better ? :(

@Jickolas 3 ай бұрын

Nah I pretty much only tested on Hpal. Other healers I mainly just read talents/set up bars/hit target dummies a bit. I'll save playing them for the live servers :) I think paladin will still be fine and completely able to heal keys at just about every level, though it might not be the meta pick. Rsham definitely looking super strong (perhaps a bit too strong from what I've seen). Rdruid can do crazy damage, but I don't think they're better at healing a lot of these fights vs hpal. This is all just based off watching others play though.

Crazy how people say 16s are gonna be the max key when people were timing 12s around 611 with max ilvl being 639

@Jickolas 3 ай бұрын

Yeah, I think keys will prob go higher than that overall, though the hardest key (w/e it ends up being) might cap pretty early. Scaling on 12s and higher goes crazy with fort/tyr/new 20% affix. Depends on blizz tuning of course haha.

@@Jickolas 20 bare min top for every key. No way it's any lower.

@@Frstypwngaming Keys do usually trend a little lower at the start of expacs (in addition to the scaling changes). Some of the easiest keys per expac: Highest AV in S1 DF: +29... S4 (TGP): AV +23 (+33 equiv) Highest NW in S1 SL: +27... S3: +32 Highest FH in S1 BFA: +22... S4: +30 So while I don't think we'll land near BFA's lower numbers, I'd be pretty surprised if keys (minus maybe 1 outlier) are going over the +17-19 range. But yeah scores could pop off and it could be +22s for all we really know lol, just gotta wait and see!
