Patch 4.1 Preview -- Dungeon Finder: Call to Arms

time to make my drood offspec feral

[Buttered Toast]

Well....

time to get back to tanking in 4.1

[lonedrifter]

Lol this might actually make more people wanna tank and heal in heroics, and maybe get some of those dps to try healing or tanking as a offspec! So i really like this idea of lowering que times =D! Glad i have a lv85 tank and healer already <3

[Mortalman888]

as a tank that needs nothing from heroics i find this as a an absolute great idea!

[Bairyhalls]

at least its not special rewards as clearly tanks (and to some degree healers) are in need, and never by any means dps...

i just fear that it will make people unable to tank sign up as tank, cause they want anzy -.-'

[Wolfie of Medivh]

I'm thrilled. This is a nice incentive to do what I would be doing normally on my tanks. Add in the hierloom tanking items, so people can level a tank from the start, it really increases the likelihood of getting tanks in the queue

[Deleted]

Better would be some sort of random throw of what you would get as a tank, maybe just cash, maybe the mount you wanted all the time.

Since, once the tanks and healers got their mounts and pets, it would return back to the usual epic long waiting time.

[Punks]

Holy shit, NICE!

[lol]

Doesn't really effect me I already got the 3 mounts and with ease due to luck.. But I can see a lot of QQ from this. :x

[Imhullu]

So how does this work for dps at max level though?
o.O

[Larini]

incoming! every warrior/dk/pally/druid that wants to waste your time by queing as a tank in dps gear/spec. yep def solves all our problems. >.<

[roflwaffle]

so anyone who only dps's or heals wont ever be able to get this benefit since tanks are ALWAYS guna be the Call To Arms : /

[swills]

I love the way that everyone who continues to get *exactly what they are already getting* but with the ADDITION of shorter queue times feels "fucked over".

If you want the stuff re-roll tank. If enough tanks start queueing, then the buff goes away anyway as tanks are no longer under-represented. The buff is only in place *if* the lack of tanks (or healers, or DPS for that matter) is affecting queue times.

Really nice idea IMO.

If for some reason, DPS are in demand, you'll get a goodie bag. If not, you're SOL, unless you're a hybrid.

[Paulosio]

So I can pretty much expect to never get this on my pure-DPS class characters? :/

Suppose it depends on how much this encourages tanks and healers to que... If it encourages enough of them then you might get it as a dps sometimes. All of the instances mentioned for mounts are incredibly easy to solo anyway... so it's hardly a loss if you don't get it.

[roflwaffle]

and thisll maybe help for a month or two till every tank has the mounts

[thebeefster]

Im a druid. What do i care??? :3
Problem noobies?

[Kaesebrezen]

I am disappointed.

As a DPS, I am at a disadvantage soloing some content to receive these mounts to begin with. Now they are being offered as a reward to tanks, who already have instant queues and are payed small fortunes of gold to tank a single heroic.

I am now rather upset with Blizzard. : /. It's a lazy solution and a simple bandage to a simple problem: It's not that there aren't enough tanks, it's that there aren't enough classes that CAN tank. Like the aesthetics of being a Shaman, but want to tank? Too bad. "Hybridizing" all the pure classes, though it would admittedly be a bitch to balance, would help to solve this problem a lot.

Tanks won't be payed if they decide for that way, they have to queue alone without a group.

Further it isn't "there aren't enough tank classes". We have DKs, Warriors, Paladins and Druids. That's 4 out of 10 classes. And that's enough.
The problem is that, if those classes can do something different then tanking, there are many people who go that way.
So, the most simple fix for that is, to make tanking for those classes more attractive, as Blizzard did.

BULLLLLLL SHEEEEEET i go to sethekk halls every day for over a year + all the bullsheeet quest chain from swift flight form and now this it was bad enough when they made it so anzu didn't have to be summoned.

does this mean if i qq i can have a warlock or pally mount on any class i want

[domzai]

Yay, mounts!
