We tried a couple of nerfs to Sudden Death, such as less damage or less chance to proc. We didn’t like any of them, so for now the ability is staying as is. (src)
The DPS of the world is having at it with numbers and discussions regarding the boss armor changes put in place for Wrath of the Lich King. Rogues are pissed (when are they not – seriously), Hunters got balanced because of this, the list goes on and on but what about warriors trying to tank?
We do assume that a mob is sundered in a raid. Warriors and rogues can offer the debuff and hunters in a pinch. It’s certainly possible to beat an encounter without any of those classes, but it will be easier with them. We have tried to give groups a lot of flexibility in who they bring, but we still need to make some assumptions about the capacity of the group. We can’t balance encounters well if they are designed to be beaten with and without raid buffs. (src)
