    Tanking only feels difficult for noobs at the beginning but after knowing how the fundamentals work its a no brainer i always fall asleep doing my same rotation over and over again activating a cd here and there.
    All you need is good uptime good gear and you can easily reach decent numbers on tanks
    My hope is that with 5.0 tanking will become fun again wich i highly doubt though
    No doubt you’d find tanking boring because you’ve ran the high-end content into the ground. Just saying that after learning fundamentals it’s brain dead doesn’t mean it is. The interactions between tanks in fights generally force them to make choices and swap things around. This also goes into Cooldown planning and managing uptime.

    It kind of is braindead though. Encounters are so predictable you can know to the millesecond when you will need to use any cooldowns and you can know this for an the entire duration of a fight before it has even started.
    it's boring its predictable and it doesnt really force them to make choices because they already know everytihng thats going to happen and when... oh that tank busters really hurt... well there's precisely 86 seconds till the next one. wont take any real damage till then....

    or oh this tank buster put a debuff on me have to swap with the other tank... still not really a choice or anything because again you know exactly when it's going to happen and you know that in exactly 114 seconds you'll swap again...

    when things are so predictable they really are braindead easy. it's like reciting the alphabet. a b c d e f g.... you don't even have to think about it. you know what letter comes next braindead.

    its one of the reasons i and a lot of people i know dont really tank anymore. even when we always considered tanks to be our mains...
