If you’re looking for the real logic behind it, its because the majority of the player base is dps. Every expac has to have a dps as a new class. Otherwise the majority of the player base wont have a new class to play for an expac.
Last expac was healer/dps, one before that tank/dps, and before that dps x2. Its cyclical. So we were “due” for another double dps expac. Obviously the devs and director are free to make whatever decision they want, but this is the logic yoshi/the devs have talked about on their quarterly chats. (To my understanding)
Edit: If you’re looking for sympathy though, yeah i feel it. I always want more tanks. Warrior has always been my favorite and none of the other tanks have tickled my fancy since.
Frankly, gunbreaker should have been a melee casting dps, and samurai should have been a tank. I’ll die on this fucking hill.
I just want classes with big two handers. All of them being tanks sucks. Sam/drg are just a skinny 2h with big muscles. Drk dps rotation lets me sort of live my fantasy though i suppose
