It needs to be adjusted before then. Currently you have to level to 25 as a dps. Can't tank the first instances in the game. Learn your class, talent for dps, and gear as a dps. Then find a guild/raid team. Then complete the raid. Then you can finally start to learn to tank, after you change talents, change gear, and find a new team that needs a tank. Not a cool way to introduce a new spec.
Tbh this should’ve been a level 60 rune and even more involved. The transformation into a demon is the pinnacle of what it is to be a warlock. They shoulda given a less-cool tanking rune to start off with. Enough to make them viable but not enough to the point where every warlock is afk in orgrimmar with this active until super late into the season.
It doesnt matter. Its a new core role, it should have been one of the easiest to get. Idk anymore. We are heard about wanting to tank, but to no only put it at max (current) level but is locked behind the raid feels so out of touch.But thats my own opinion.
Yeah, I agree with the above commenters. It’s also a problem for Rogues/Mages, but not nearly as bad. These runes should be accessible early, or a “weaker” variant so the player can start getting their feet wet in lower level dungeons.
This rune is what attracted me to want to play SoD in the first place, so to find out that it's so hard to get is a little disheartening. Making it easier to get can't come fast enough
Imagine having a guild with no Paladins, Warriors, Druids, Rogues, or Shaman that can take the role of tank long enough to get the rune so you can tank the rest of Phase 1. Must be absolutely traumatizing for the entire group that banked everything on one player.
There is no responding on hunter pets bug abuse and worst "pvp" event in ashenvale?
Wonder if they'll address the rogue tanking rune...
I really don't get all the comments saying this is "fine" and for people to stop being "drama queens". Having one particular rune for one particular class be locked behind the cap level and end raid of the current phase is just not good design, end of discussion. It doesn't matter if its a "easy" raid, or if you cant "get it easier in the next phase", the point is that compared to all other runes it is a massive outlier of difficulty to get. The fact Rogue can buy there tank from a vendor, and Shaman can get their tank at level 12 in a field are the best two runes to compare it to and you can easily see how silly that comparison is to the warlock tank rune. The other people saying how it doesn't ruin raid comps you are correct, but if you are a group of friend that just wanted to raid together with the plan of having 1 shaman tank and 1 warlock tank, your now in a situation of finding a tank to help get you the ability to tank. Surely that in itself sounds completely backward?I'm like 90% sure all of the people supporting this aren't warlocks who wanted to even tank and just want to call people cry babies over valid criticism that even Blizzard themselves in the tweet here have agreed was an outlier to their design of runes.
Yes, it will be easier, since you will have higher level toons that can boost you through BFD.Poor form, Blizzard. Put it at the vendor that rogues use for theirs or put it out in a field like shamans get.
Rogue has a similar problem, can't tank before you grind a rep that takes it's time.I planned to be a main tank as a rogue, but my guild had to wait for me because I can't just get it done in a few minutes.Major Runes SHOULD NOT be locked behind a time gated/raid content, it's okay if it's a secondary rune, but not a mandatory one.
I get that they wanted the demon form to be harder to get because it's super cool, but they should have had a lesser tanking rune available earlier on. Like many others, I rolled a lock to tank only to discover that I need someone else to tank before I can tank. smh
