Tanks for Being Patient!

Tank Builds Receive a Little Love This Update

 

Heroes!

Being a Tank is a tough job; you’re up close and dirty with the worst of monsters, you take all of the hits, and you absolutely have to make sure that monsters attack you and not the rest of your party. This can be pretty difficult when a fully geared DPS is pouring on damage like salad dressing. In fact, it could almost be said that the DPS players in raids were responsible for threat management;, rather than the tanks. This, bluntly put, ain’t how it’s supposed to be.

Introducing the Threat Overhaul, a series of tweaks to spells that should put the power of threat management back into the hands of tanks. Now, DPS won’t have to rely on quirky game mechanics to mitigate their threat.

These updates should put threat management back where it belongs: in the hands of the guys in plate armor, or in the paws of a bear.

Not exclusively though; we’re open to new tank builds.

A full list of the changes can be found below:

Added threat generation to the Bloodrage ability

Added threat generation to the Enrage ability

Increased the bonus threat on Thunderclap

Increased the threat generated by Avenger’s Shield

 

Righteous Fury now increases the threat of your Holy spells by 50% and all other schools of magic by 35%
