Quote:An interesting note about the new 25 man dungeon: None of the bosses encountered so far crush.
EJ posters seem to concur this is probably an experiment on Blizzards part in doing away with the crush mechanic altogether (something they have expressed unhappiness with in the past, apparently).
Tank itemization could get more interesting in WotLK if this continues. Seems like, offhand, quite a boost to bear tanks as well, that traditionally get crushed and just deal with it by having capped armor rating.
I'm pretty sure I read where Blizzard are not happy with the crush mechanic and were looking at removing it. The change away from block gear on Warrior gear to dodge may be a move in that direction.
