I solo'd one of the Eye of Shadow mobs below the Necropolis' Threat wouldn't of been much of an issue since most of my time was spent draining/siphon. Was quite fun though... Had around 7 CoD's go off, so the fight could've been around the 9 minute mark. The only annoyance was the Shadow kept fearing me

Well from my experience it's not broken. In the last couple weeks I've been running Headless Horseman with 3 friends of mine and I've been tanking him with the VW. When I pop DE I'm seeing threat generation unlike anything I've ever seen in the game. We have not even come close to pulling aggro off of the VW in a single attempt on HHM. Yesterday I solo'd Uvuros, the big two headed 70 elite dog in SMV. I was going all out nuke in Meta form and never pulled aggro. I'm also seeing a significant increase in felguard dps when I pop DE on him. So, speaking only for myself It seems to be working just fine. |

A VW can build up 250K+ threat in a matter of seconds. Bliz stated they are "fixing" it, just waiting to see if it completely gimps the VW as a tank or not. |

I really hope they don't gimp it too much. If it really goes to 20%, I'm not sure it will do what we need. Agreed it's OP now, but I would really like a DE'd Void to run about 80% of the threat of a real tank. It is nice to have the option to use him to tank 5 man runs, or at least off-tank. I'd hate to lose that!

It really is nice to actually be able to use him as intended. I personally did not use my void ever since I obtained the succy for leveling and after that it was imp tapping. With the high threat he finally is a tank we can use, low damage, high armor, high hp, high threat. I remember trying to use him pre-patch and finding it useless since after casting my first sb I'd pull aggro. I hope they don't nerf him too bad since as I've seen while running shadow labyrinth he's a tank but he can't take on 5-6 elites and have either one of us make it out whereas a well geared tank has little problem with minor heals. I have also found that a well geared tank can pull aggro given the cd on demonic empowerment. While it seems bugged now I kinda doubt it will be that way when the expansion hits and I hope blizz realizes that. We need something to take the hard hits in Northrend. |

 I have not been following the threads on this and I must admit that the level of threat that he's generating did seem a little crazy. Having said that, I think this exactly what we need and what the VW is really made for. It seems to me that if the VW is intended to be our "tank" then he should be able to hold aggro for more then one or two shadowbolts and if I'm going to go that deep in Demon then I should get a MUCH better tank. So, as far as I'm concerned.....it's not broke and should stay the way it is.
