I've been a top 50 US raider in multiple expansions (BC, Wrath, MoP and WoD), all playing Prot Warrior. I quit in WoD because I felt I had no agency as a tank to prevent damage with the nerf to Shield Barrier. I come back and look at the rotation now, and it looks like we have Shield Slam and 4 different Devastates. Also, Shield Block uptime appears to be completely reliant on RNG, and Ignore Pain looks like absolute trash (especially after the Alpha changes). Is there any reason to play this spec anymore?
I have a Guardian Druid alt that I made in WoD, and I've been told they were very powerful in this last Mythic tier. It looks like they get near 100% uptime on Ironfur, but my concern has been that the 35% armor increase seems to be now based on Agility rather than actual armor value. The Druid tank rotation was... passable in WoD, but it looks quite boring as it stands now. Is there a single class left I can play without wanting to gouge my eyes out?
Monk looks like it still has depth to it, but they don't look particularly good right now.
I'm very concerned because I was a very early participant in the WoD Beta, where I saw the game go to absolute shit, and I'm worried it's headed down the same path. What is the best way to help my guild but still glean some enjoyment out of it as a tank?
Thanks, and sorry for the long and somewhat off-topic post. Unfortunately, I suspect discussing re-rolls might be a relevant trend in this thread.
