Seeing tanks out heal healers makes healing feel really bad

[Deleted]

as blood dk in wod i could (aslong breath was running) do dmg about same as lower dps or just lower geared players.

Which is fine. Even with full BiS BoS gear it was still RNG dependent. I had one pull on Archimonde where I had a breath last 2 minutes and another pull where it lasted 20 seconds. It was also one of harder playstyles to play in WoD. The only real issue with tanks in WoD was paladin in HFC. Their class trinket made them do way to much damage and it was so braindead easy to play.

If U think tank healing are big now wait for when Guardian druids get ToS set, Endless frienzied reg ^^

Can understand how U feel but at the same time its kinda nice as a tank to help out my healers and in some cases I can save my ass if I have bad healers with me. And as someone stated we often know when we are gonna take a huge chunk of damage and can prepare by having resources ready to use our self heals or absorbs, if healers arent ready with a heal as soon we get the big hit we will heal ourself back up.

Try with a good aoe tank and you'll notice, stuff like full thrash bears

I play a 7/7 thrash druid, it's stupid the amount of dps I can pull as bear.

I've got the boots, and the thought of using them+tier set+KJ trinket+leg ring has me laughing at the thought of being nearly unkillable

I've been seeing so many tanks out healing healers, or healing in comparison to.
particularly in dungeons. it makes healing feel really crummy.

I've been seeing so many DPS out tanking healers, tanking mobs instead of the tank.

It's almost only true in trivial content (or when going ape on AoE in M+ with some less AoE favoured classes). Any attempts to "fix" it would result in that content (n/h/m+0) being overtuned for their target audience.

Well when you see a Guardian Druid Pulling 900k sustained DPS some dps may feel bad

But no Druid is doing that sort of sustained damage ST for a long period of time, and in an AoE situation there's plenty of non-tank classes that'll make those same DPS players feel a lot worse than a tank will. There's a HUGE discrepency in the amount of AoE DPS certain classes can put out, and tanks tend to sit somewhere in the middle on longer/bigger fights. It's a bigger issue to me than "Prot Warrs out DPS Shadow Priests on M+ trash."

No tank beats any equally geared/skilled DPS over a 1m+ fight ST.

If you find healing to be bad because tank is outhealing you, then maybe you're doing content that is too simple? Try 15+ Mythics. There is literally no way they'll be outhealing you on harder content that's designed to strain the healer and the tank.

Man, you obviously didn't play in MoP. Geared tanks could be responsible for 100% of their healing during a boss fight, quite often solo tanking mechanics that normally were meant to be split-soaked!

.. while topping meters too, lel. My best experience in WoW tbh (brewmaster in 10 man hc full dps geared).

What about Havoc DH? I stand in any mechanic that doesn't 1-shot or hard CC me when playing Demonic/SR because I instantly heal it back up, and while soloing world bosses and heroic/M0 bosses I've done over 400k HPS to myself (with ~400k HPS overhealing). If this weren't the case I'd have been dead almost every trash pull with most tanks with Skittish, so I feel bad for other bursty melee DPS.

And VE with that helmet is pretty disgusting too with 30+ stacks and PI up.
