Prot paladins - assume the position

[valkry]

If people who love the x5 tank setup (especially Protection Paladins) are totally honest here, don't you think that it's crazy how much self healing tanks can currently do - and even to each other!?? So much so that an actual healer class would be detrimental to the setup?

I can't speak of pvp, but yes I think it's crazy how things are at the moment.

You make a good point and yea it is a little ridiculous. But also consider that the whole mythic plus scene scales up fairly evenly. With that, my solo tank doesn't really need a healer until mythic 3-4 and can keep himself alive. The point im trying to make is that he actually needs healing at all. In past xpacs, I could run heroics and multi-pack pull without really taking so much as a dent, in equivalent gear. So although we can self heal, the fact that we have to at all is the equaliser, imo.

I'm not sure yet which I prefer, being able to self heal the dmg taken, or take less dmg.

This is of course talking about the lower end of the mythics which I consider equivalent of heroics of certain past xpacs. I mean, I take more dmg in the timewalking heroics than in mythic 4, easily.

I think the reason for being noticed is not from running 5 tanks, its from people farming mythic+ with 1 tank 4 DPS. Several posts in the WoW forums about it.

This is only with the raiding guilds and their skilled and highly geared members. I don't think multiboxers will be able to run that set up.

I do
