WoW’s Tank Gap: Buff the Rest, Not the Brewmaster
World of Warcraft is facing a tank shortage, with Brewmaster Monks currently leading high-end Mythic+ due to their lower group stress. Blizzard hints at nerfs to Brewmaster, but the author argues that would worsen the problem. The piece calls for buffing other tank specs (e.g., Blood DK, Protection Paladin, Shamans, Druids) and expanding tank options—potentially even new classes—to make tanking more appealing and reduce queue times, rather than nerfing Brewmaster.
