Good times for tanks in World of Warcraft. Their damage is massively increased, making them as strong as DPS characters.

Although the Patch 11.1 Lor’themar was actually already a “Release Candidate,” Blizzard is making significant changes again and tweaking the settings. Tanks can rejoice, as they are receiving a massive boost. In contrast, all mobs are looking at a significant reduction in their health points.

What has changed? In the presumably final PTR update of Patch 11.1, Blizzard has significantly adjusted the balance once more, especially giving some gifts to the different tank specializations. The most important changes for all tanks are:

  • Blood Death Knights deal 20% more damage with all abilities.
  • Vengeance Demon Hunters deal 20% more damage with all abilities.
  • Guardian Druids deal 20% more damage with all abilities.
  • Brewmaster Monks now deal 15% more damage with all abilities.
  • Protection Paladins now deal 15% more damage with all abilities.
  • Protection Warriors now deal 20% more damage with all abilities.

At the same time, all enemies in dungeons of the “Mythic” and “Mythic+” levels are getting hit hard. In all dungeons of this kind, the health points of all enemies are reduced by 10%. Additionally, the health points of various summoned creatures (“adds”) in boss fights have also been decreased.

Basically, all fights should now go a bit faster, making it easier to keep up with the dungeon timers.

Please note that these adjustments will go live with Patch 11.1, in just a few days.

Why is Blizzard buffing tanks so much? Tanks also like to see big damage numbers. It is often the case that tanks can keep up with DPS characters in dungeons and raids. However, on the PTR of Patch 11.1, this was mostly not the case anymore, and tank performance significantly dropped. To correct this, all tank classes are receiving a massive bonus to their damage dealt. This not only helps in holding aggro better but also helps the entire group to defeat enemies faster.

It will be a few more days until the patch goes live. But you can use this time. Because there are some content and achievements that will soon no longer be obtainable. Therefore, you should complete these 3 tasks before it’s too late!
