Hey Guys

I am now done with my 5x Balance druids for farming, I am now working on my proffesion cruw, which would ideally be 5x Demon Hunters.

Does the selfhealing tanks still funktion in BFA, or have they done major adjustments so its impossible to do mythics that way?

How would 5x Vengence DH manage in dungeons, possible to do low mythics if gear is okay?

I'm currently running 5x Tank Druids through instances and its going perfectly fine. I was running mythics with this same group before BfA and it worked.

For this to work for me, the talent Ysear's Gift, is a necessity.

Can you mention your talents, rotation and such? im gonna try with my druids in normal to see if i can get it going.

I've been extremely lazy and for the last couple of months I've been using GSE (Gnome Sequencer Enhanced) addon. The standard rotation for a Druid tank is not complicated (manually or with GSE)

Thanks for the imput fpsware - I am still interested in knowing how the DH's are doing as well. I did do some dungeons now with guardian, they are okay, but not the same feeling as, forexample, prot-paladins in legion.

While leveling my 5xProt Pali team (currently level 115) they have yet to drop below 99% health unless I jump off a cliff. Everything still takes forever to kill but nothing can hurt them even though most of their self healing is gone.

I am hoping end game I have the same survival but with more DPS. Still kindof wishing I started with the DKs but I've got a couple years to figure this out.

I also run a 4xDK + 1xPally group and 5xPally (Prot) group and have to say the DK & Pally groups put out considerably more DPS than the Druids. I would expect this to be the same with a DH group. But, during longer fights I feel the Druids are considerably more survivable.

I don't have a DH group yet, its on the cards.

On self-healing:
I run 5 Blood DKs for farming and questing. I MOW through mobs and usually stay above 95% health.

I'm lazy and use this Gnome Sequencer macro when farming/questing (scroll down to his v2)

My DHs are still too low to really test your question on that front, though, running them in older dungeons, their self-healing seems to be a little bit less than it was before, or maybe it's just me.

Prot Pals>>Although the passive self healing is not great.. light of the protector is still good and flash heal is great as well. But for outdoors stuff.. they are overkill.. I never have any health issues. And i mow down massive amounts of mobs in seconds..as many as I can round up.

Since they don't have a gap closer, I don't imagine it's as amazing as it seems. Too many classes have abilities to jump away.
I'm interested to see how they do in dungeons though!

Yeah, I'm not 120 on my DKs yet, but, even on Normal, I had to bring a Paladin in. Some fights were just too much damage for the DK tank using only self heals :(
