After putting in many hrs on the beta for the expansion, I am honestly dumbfounded by Blizzards implementation of Resolve and here is why. From the looks of things on paper, they want tanks to somewhat help with self heals in encounters with this mechanic but the major problem is this - Every tank that is not a Bear Druid or DK suffer greatly from the mechanic. Dks Death Strike heal can be used multiple times in succession and heal for a great amount **** instantly **** Same with Bear Druids. Paladins, Prot Warriors and Monks all suffer greatly because of the lack of any similar capability. Monks 1 cast time heal lacks any oomph, any of the healing tier talents are pathetic, overall monks are suffering the most from both taking dmg and lack of abilities to heal themselves with. Same with Paladins, Flash doesn't bring any oomph even with a built up resolve. And Prot warriors I think suffer the greatest. The only ability that will be effected by resolve is the absorption that costs rage. Overall, Blizzard has fucked tanks in a massive way which I think is odd seeing as how tanks are the backbone of any group/raid.
