Better than nothing, eh?

Besides, if you re-read Daelo's statement, at the end, he says they have plans to make sure tank avoidance doesn't get too high in the future.

I think a lot of this has to do with the fact that there really wasn't much of a gear reset this expansion. That means by the time you scale up everything to get past the top level gear of the last expansion, you're probably still looking at starting scaling in the wrong place from the onset. I wouldn't say this has been as short sighted as oh say, having to drastically reduce priest regen time after time, starting from when people were running Nax.

It was reset though. GC himself said the ratings (dodge, parry, crit) were set exceptionally high to help avoid this very problem in the top tier of Wrath content. He also said the hard modes and subsequent rewards of higher iLvl gear threw the original Wrath gear scale out of whack, and they were working on this not being a problem in Cataclysm.

I do respect the issue and understand it, but, seriously, how many times is Blizz gonna say, “our bad, sorry bout the nerf, we promise to fix it next time.”

Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me
