The high multiplier acted as a cushion, softening the gap between tanks in Legion(where tank DPS is all over the place) so that even the lower DPS tanks didn't have a huge problem with threat. I hope Actizzard realises that this will require the tanks to be close to eachother DPS-wise. The only real concern is probably Tanks out-threating one another when they don't intend to due to a combination of the numbers squish and change to threat modifiers. Tanks still have such a massive threat multiplier that a Dps or Healer stealing away aggro should not be a common scenario. In essence nothing has drastically shifted. Maybe they're looking to fill the gap in gameplay that most tank specs carry right now. It felt like there was something missing. And to be fair, I found it ridiculous that tanks didn't need to worry about threat at all in Legion. To me, it looks like they are looking to kill the kiting strategies that are mandatory for very high keys. I'm sure this will make no real difference. Using the Threat Meter addon Omen we can illustrate with some pictures.Įquipping a non-artifact Weapon, we can see that the Threat a tank deals from just auto attacks is just above 5 times the damage dealt.Įquipping an artifact Weapon, we can see that the Threat a tank deals from just auto attacks is around 7 times the damage dealt.Įquipping a non-artifact Weapon, we can see that the Threat a DPS deals from just auto attacks is around half the damage dealt.Įquipping an artifact Weapon, we can see that the Threat a DPS deals from just auto attacks is still around half the damage dealt. A tank still generates over 10 times the threat of a DPS, it's just shown in a different way in Legion. If a DPS deals 100 points of damage, they actually receive 50 Threat and a Tank is supposed to receive 500 Threat on the meter. In Legion, it's important to note that threat is halved. In Battle for Azeroth, a Tank receives 64k Threat on the meter.In Legion, a Tank receives around 220k-320k Threat on the meter.For comparison the Skittish affix currently reduces Threat by 75%.Īs a simple example, if a DPS deals 16k damage, they will receive 16k Threat while: For some tanks it may be up to an 80% threat reduction but may vary due to weird nature of Legion Threat. This is a massive threat reduction from Legion. As a baseline, Tanks will generate 4 times more Threat than DPS.
