Is Tanking Boring?

[Luin]

Now i recently leveled my DRK to level 62, and i think i've realized why there are so few tank players, now to start this off i'm gonna bring up wow, and not in a million years would i ever ask SE to take advice from the trainwreck that is the current state of wow, but they did get one thing right, and that's tanking.

In wow, for example, the warrior tank has three abilities, shield slam, devastate and shield block, now these three abilities work together in pretty good synergy, shield block increases your blocking chance and at the same time increased the damage of shield slam, and devastate has a chance to reset the cooldown of shield slam while shield slam increases the duration of shield block. If we were to look at the other tanks in WoW, their rotation is based around keeping themselves alive, not necessarily doing damage, blood death knight uses DOT's to heal itself and the paladin builds up charges to do massive self healing bursts.

First of all, you can edit your post to bypass character limits.

Second of all, Dark Knight is the worst example for this. You literally have zero mitigation outside of roleactions until Level 70 (Dark Mind doesn't count, most trash isn't magic AA). You also lost most of your Level 50-60 kit and it was reworked into 60-70 kit.

DRK isn't even remotely playable until 68.

If you wanted to talk about tanking being boring, you should level WAR. Or even PLD. Heck I especially recommend PLD. You'll clearly see just how inferior DRK is, especially since DRK is literally JUST a carboncopy of Paladin but with none of the defensive cooldowns or DoT, and only 1 stance instead of 2. DRK is just PaladinLITE, until you get The Blackest Night. Leveling DRK is the worst leveling in the game.
