Dpriest or hpal / mage / x

clear pulsar
#

I think we'll see some 10 different dps specs easily

tiny oar
#

dont think it will b any different

forest kite
#

I bet on fire mage / ele / hpal winning the tourney.

clear pulsar
#

I think ww mage will win both regions

forest kite
#

Or ww mage, not a bad call 😂

clear pulsar
#

Arms, ww, ret, feral, spr, ele, fire, boomie are guaranteed. I imagine some team plays enhance too. There will be DH and DK if Tren and Mes make it top 8, which they should. What else is there?

#

Hunter ofc

#

Lot of jungle teams

#

Probably only MM

crude minnow
#

Does Rsham have a place where it is ever preferred over hpal atm?

clear pulsar
#

I think Wallirikz makes top 8 easily so Aff also

clear pulsar
#

Yes

tiny oar
#

yea ceralium brain and drizzy r going to own

forest kite
#

Fact is, except for healer the meta is pretty diversified & fine

tulip falcon
#

where da RMPs

clear pulsar
tiny oar
#

yea absterge rps will prolly b solid too

forest kite
#

It's just to fast paced and gimmick

clear pulsar
#

Maybe ww boomie

forest kite
#

Boomy will play with ww or ele I think yes

tulip falcon
#

wait did whaazz get comp banned or no

clear pulsar
#

No, only Raiku and Swapxy

#

They're playing with Zunniyaki and Thesia

#

Chas Whaazz Zunni Thesia

forest kite
#

Raiku is still banned for some year I think

tulip falcon
#

i thought it was a perma

tiny oar
#

no raiku man damn that sucks hes a god

clear pulsar
#

Raiku's insane

forest kite
#

5 years if I remember correctly

tulip falcon
#

wonder if people still play this in 5 years swifty

forest kite
#

It's not 5 years left

clear pulsar
#

But like idk bro, I think making a living out of playing the videogame is a privilege that people should take more seriously considering their public image. I think a permaban is way too much and I hope it's only a limited time suspension, but I'm not mad at Blizz suspending him for talking like that on recordings. @tiny oar

forest kite
#

5 years overall

tulip falcon
#

only been a few months hasnt it?

forest kite
#

When does AWC start? 😁

clear pulsar
#

Next weekend

tiny oar
#

yea like its understandable for the way he / others acted tbh

forest kite
#

Ooohh PogChamp can't wait!!

#

It's enough for him to don't compete anymore yeah

tulip falcon
#

i think the thing that made people pissed off about raiku's ban is the context of it with the wintrading stuff

#

rather than defending what he did

clear pulsar
#

Damn Raiku and Swapxy really are indefinite suspensions

#

That sucks

forest kite
#

how do u pvp without being depressed all day

tulip falcon
#

you live with it

clear pulsar
forest kite
#

Every single glad/winner from blizzcon between bc and mop were wintrading at some point, ppl woke up a bit late xD

primal bane
#

@forest kite you need pvp friends

tulip falcon
forest kite
#

And every single god player are boosting at some point also

#

friends lol 😦

#

It was insane during wod & legion

clear pulsar
forest kite
#

Boosting plague

clear pulsar
#

But bro it's fucking wild

#

How normalized boosting is these days

forest kite
#

Or russian bot 🤣

primal bane
#

theyre very profitable too

forest kite
#

They are boosting on selfplay now

#

Mostly

clear pulsar
#

Yeah cuz glad is set rating

primal bane
#

like 10k gold to one shot someone with mage

forest kite
#

i really like rbgs, 2s are rough

devout frost
#

@clear pulsar cause blizzard encourage boosting ever since they introduced tokens into the game

clear pulsar
clear pulsar
primal bane
#

i actually dig that

devout frost
#

its the same thing as jagex is doing

primal bane
#

set exact improvements of your CR make sense

#

but how do people get paid per win lmfao

forest kite
#

So idc a bit now but during mop/legion, you was facing multi r1 boosting 75% of the time at 2.5+

primal bane
#

do you just pay a 2k shitter 500k gold for 50 cr?

forest kite
#

Was a pain too push higher

#

And unfair

tulip falcon
#

i've made about 4 mil from 1800/2100 rbg boosts in 3 weeks its actually nuts how much people pay

#

mostly PvE dudes wanting gear

forest kite
#

Now I don't think you meet many boost once you're 2.4+

primal bane
#

@tulip falcon how that work

forest kite
#

I don't feel I am at least

devout frost
primal bane
#

u get 9 people to boost 1 guy?

tulip falcon
#

sometimes 2-3 people at a time

clear pulsar
# forest kite And unfair

It's unfair at every bracket. Not necessarily the facing rank 1s part. That's whatever, but then you drop these 1600 people at 2.2 cr and it makes LFG a complete joke of a system.

tulip falcon
#

but ye they essentially just pay gold to join the group

forest kite
#

It's always obvious when u meet booster when u're not used to play against god player anyway xD

primal bane
#

thats p fucking nice i could buy me coldwar with rent-a-boomie marketing

crude minnow
#

@tulip falcon is that why I sometimes get stomped at 2100 by 7 people who apparently really know what they are doing with vastly varying CR's?

tulip falcon
#

most likely

primal bane
#

press convoke win on like half the RBG maps

tulip falcon
#

either that or some are playing alts

forest kite
#

Sometime you get crushed so hard, you know you're facing 3k+ player even at 1k8 cr

primal bane
#

wow pvp rankings are all kinds of messed up due to low player agency

tulip falcon
#

for example the top team on eu was dropping their mmr to 2.2 to do some boosts last week

crude minnow
#

I've been running dreambinder in rbgs recently and it makes convoke feel worse. BUT every other situation feels better

primal bane
#

but its still never been more fun to play pvp, swear idk how i did anythign in bfa pvp

#

always felt like i did my dps rotation until at some point the healer could not bring that player to full hp again

#

now 1 coordinated CC play its over

jade gyro
#

how do i get 30k bites

crude minnow
#

Too many buttadog meme people in rbgs

forest kite
#

It's just, there is a big difference between try hard player at 2.7, and pro ( who boost) able to get 3k

#

Like 1.8 player vs 2.7, same difference

#

So even if u're good, able to push 2.5+, you get crushed

primal bane
#

how do you survive the never ending blue balls of playing a caster

barren raven
#

Is it worth dropping like 16+ ilvls per piece just to get versa on my gear?

primal bane
#

everytime i read LOCKED my blood pressure rises

#

and a lot of match ups thats every 9 seconds

crude minnow
#

Have 3 schools

primal bane
#

i just dont get why im raising in rank but i still get my Wraths kicked

barren raven
#

Have you considered juking interrupts?

primal bane
#

i started using the non-eclipse filler so they kick it and i can enter eclipse at this point

#

ive tried multiple times, i once faked 4 in a row

#

still got it kicked

barren raven
#

Lol you must be doing it too obvious then

primal bane
#

probably, but there is no real guide on that id need someone to show it to me live

crude minnow
#

I know I sometimes try to avoid getting kicked to the point that I would've been better off just casting and swapping schools after.

primal bane
#

perfect question

#

i have a 184 with versa+ versa on socket

forest kite
#

To be honest sometime it's just better to hardcast one school, get kicked, second school, get kicked to be free the next 10 sec

primal bane
#

vs a 200 no socket

#

and idk which one is better

forest kite
#

Vs double melee, you lose too much time trying to fake them

primal bane
#

if that shit happens i just press convoke

#

getting kicked basic abilities twice in a row feels disrespectful

#

like getting root spammed as a pally/dk/warrior

forest kite
#

They still can stun or shit xD

primal bane
#

no its fine ill just get full moon 2nd spell and win the game

forest kite
#

Better to ask a bop and convoke on their face.

dire pulsar
#

Is necrolord good pick for balance pvp?

primal bane
#

if i get boped convoke is absolutely unstoppble?

#

besides los ofc

rigid linden
#

magic interupt

#

magic stun

placid mirage
#

Play with prot pally and get bubbled

forest kite
#

Magic shit.

primal bane
#

does it have asmall range at least???

#

i played with countless holy pallys

forest kite
#

But if you are vs ww/war for exemple

primal bane
#

they never protected my convoke

forest kite
#

They can't stop you without dispelling the bop

placid mirage
#

Have them use aura.mastery not bop

#

Then u don't have to worry

devout frost
#

meta to fast

forest kite
#

If u're vs caster, then aura mastery

primal bane
#

damn

#

what the fuck

forest kite
#

You still have some shit to force, but at some point you can free convoc with an hpal

#

Vs any comp

primal bane
#

i should really hold these shitters more accountable

#

need to learn what every class does

barren raven
#

Repeating my question; is it worth replacing a 200+ ilvl piece for 184 combatant gear just to gain versa?

devout frost
#

calls other people shitters
doesnt even know what other classes does

barren raven
#

Oh

#

My bad, didnt get a ping 😄

#

ty

placid mirage
#

Me boomer me convoke, if no win healer is cheat

primal bane
#

and i still carry

#

so your point?

forest kite
#

same

#

idk what to do without convoke

devout frost
#

play properly?

primal bane
#

i know what to do but its so....bland

devout frost
#

instead of relying on a crutch

placid mirage
#

Spin in circles until incarn is back up

primal bane
#

press 1 and 2 on every target

#

if focused, bear

devout frost
primal bane
#

when dd #2 says he is ready to burst

#

enter eclipse, press 3 3 times

placid mirage
#

@devout frost don't take crutches away from disabled people

primal bane
#

i always do council dance fight exclusively bear form

#

the /dance is amazing

devout frost
tiny oar
#

HAHAHHA

placid mirage
#

My middle name

forest kite
#

Can someone teach me how to balance PVP in about 2 minutes Ute's

primal bane
#

that was p good but convoke aint no crutch youre still a boomie

forest kite
#

me to

primal bane
#

your burst combo is one spell 3 times

devout frost
forest kite
#

im good at kiting when im focused but do no damage when i gotta do that

placid mirage
#

It's one spell 4-5 times

forest kite
#

What about for RBGs

#

then get blamed

primal bane
#

using boat so typically i get done with 3

forest kite
#

Same thing?

devout frost
crude minnow
#

rbgs it is the same thing. spread dots, use your ccs. root/beam+cyclone healers then go for burst. Repeat

primal bane
#

@forest kite thats just your team not knowing what boomkin does

forest kite
#

yeah i bear, roar, always use my self healinhg in bear

#

if i die with any movement abilities up i try and change that

devout frost
vocal geyser
#

guys i'm hesistating changing kyrian for nf i'm boomy

placid mirage
#

Fon is trees right

forest kite
#

No it's free wifi

devout frost
placid mirage
#

If ur a consistent player with multiple neural connections u can play kyrian fine

primal bane
#

isnt kyrian just an additional 1 minute cooldown buff?

tiny oar
#

man wish i had multiple neural connections damn

primal bane
#

is there somethign im missing?

vocal geyser
#

but I see shitload of ytb video of nf people one shoting at 2.7 rating

placid mirage
#

If ur me nightfae is finr

forest kite
#

If I was going to craft a legendary that can also be used in PvE

primal bane
#

yes nurisher do you want to have fun or you want to sim 10 more dps?

placid mirage
#

People who are oneshotting at 2.7 are doing a lot of other small things right to get a oneshot window usually

forest kite
#

Which power & vers+stat would you take for a NF

vocal geyser
#

@primal bane which choice is fun

tiny oar
#

u can make NF work at high rating u just gotta have a brain about it

primal bane
#

NF???

#

youre casting fullmoon into x2 starsurge

#

in 0.75 seconds

#

even if its 1 in 30 games

devout frost
primal bane
#

thats funny as fuck

rancid sundial
vocal geyser
#

I don't see much videos of kyrian people

#

and yet when I do

primal bane
#

whats bond foe? @devout frost

vocal geyser
#

it doesn't seem as unbalanced as nf

primal bane
#

its literally a 15% dmg buff, what you want to see

placid mirage
#

When I see videos of kyrian players they slam someone every minute

devout frost
crude minnow
#

4-5 9k non crit starsurges every minute lol

placid mirage
#

Me before my ret partner switched to prot

vocal geyser
#

I don't hit 9k non crit lol

devout frost
#

how undergeared are you

crude minnow
#

With good gear, kyrian, dreambinder you will

vocal geyser
#

212

devout frost
#

cant go that indepth

placid mirage
#

Need more mastery ez clap

rancid sundial
#

Ahh

vocal geyser
#

22% mastery 21% versa

#

the only thing I can do to do a lot of damage is playing DoS trinket but it's 3 min cd

primal bane
#

in a world where you could time your burst to always be in Boat window, it would be the better leggy no?

crude minnow
#

Try dreambinder. Its alot better

rancid sundial
#

I do all that as kyrian breambinder but still stuck 1500. Taking a break to lvl my ww

crude minnow
#

3 starsurges in boat window just doesn't cut it.

placid mirage
#

Truth

primal bane
#

ill get dreambinder when the prices calmdown

crude minnow
#

ring is like 10k or some shit

primal bane
#

190 baby ring i think

devout frost
#

rank 1s cost nothing, no?

crude minnow
#

its a ring, who cares

placid mirage
#

235 master ring

#

The one ring to rule them all

devout frost
#

its literally the least important slot to rank up

#

r1 leggo ring to r4 ring has to be like 1.5% dps

placid mirage
#

But do u have a piece to replace your boat

devout frost
#

i dont play boat in pvp so yes

placid mirage
#

I gave away all my boot drops cuz I'm dumb

forest kite
#

So I kinda suck at playing balance

#

outside of convoke or bust

primal bane
#

still gotta wait for next week

#

to get soul ash

crude minnow
#

It just takes some time to learn.

forest kite
#

it's not like feral with the 1000000 regrwoths

#

feels like there is 0 sustian

placid mirage
#

Same I can hardly create pressure outside of convoke which is how I know I am bad

devout frost
#

and thats why you dont play nf 🙂

forest kite
#

In fairness this is the first time since TBC I've been interested in Actual PvP

devout frost
#

because you will never have pressure outside of ur long ass cooldowns

forest kite
#

So NF wins

placid mirage
#

I play nf because I don't have enough time to learn how to be good but I want the gear

devout frost
#

u just press ur cooldowns every minute

#

then sit in bear form for 50 seconds

rancid sundial
#

All my perma 1400 friends keep telling to switch to NF for convoke because they die to convoke 😂😂
Kyrian master race

placid mirage
#

Okay well I still forgot to use my badge every 1min after 600 arenas so there u go

devout frost
#

oof

forest kite
#

this is why I use the free one

#

can't forget it that way

placid mirage
#

Idk why my brain is just like this button doesn't exist

devout frost
#

and u wont have to remember

rancid sundial
#

You can make a macro for CA/incarn, foe, trink, and bond

#

All on same cd

placid mirage
#

Maybe I need a fat blining weak aura that says BADGE IS UP

rancid sundial
#

Er

#

I have a separate one for all that + incarn

placid mirage
#

I have a weak aura for incarn convoke badge racial

forest kite
#

so which is the most braindead power I can use for RBG's

placid mirage
#

Sorry a macro*

primal bane
#

wtf is foe

bitter harness
#

fury of elune

primal bane
#

and bond?

placid mirage
#

Last talent column2

#

Kyrian covenant

bitter harness
primal bane
#

oh ok

#

fury of elune has no gcd??

rancid sundial
#

Nope

primal bane
#

WHJAT

rancid sundial
#

The macro puts up all of those

primal bane
#

holyyyy

#

gotta update my macro

rancid sundial
#

And if I'm not mistaken, you start at 50+ astral power when you hit it and just pump

forest kite
rancid sundial
#

People really get butthurt huh

forest kite
#

i love it

tulip falcon
#

the irony of his name being relevant to himself

bitter harness
#

they probably made that character just to whisper

#

tbf

forest kite
#

they did it was a bg lol

bitter harness
#

would just motivate me to do it more lol

tulip falcon
#

over a random bg?

#

yea i dont think they understand that

forest kite
#

yeah it felt good bacon

tulip falcon
#

like do they think they actually hurt people when they ragewhisp

#

i just laugh

#

then again i come from a server that had world pvpers who would dox you and message your family members on facebook so

forest kite
#

its silly

#

damn i thought those kind of people were only on classic

#

thats sad af

bitter harness
#

i am wondering if I should craft r1 dreambinder for RBGs

#

I currently play NF+boat

#

no vers on boat either Sadge

placid mirage
#

I've had 2-3 ppl message me

#

Telling me I will be 1200 cr after nerf :( they're not wrong

#

But for now I feast on their rating

bitter harness
#

this is the perfect time to get rating in RBGs

tulip falcon
#

its inflated af

bitter harness
#

I went 0 -> 2.1k in 9 days with 0 exp

placid mirage
#

Ya I hit 2.1k as a mediocre player

tulip falcon
#

yea sounds about right

bitter harness
#

and I made friends in the process

#

\o/

placid mirage
#

Because u lose no cr with a decent team

#

Cause mmr always high af

tulip falcon
#

yep

bitter harness
#

yeah most losses were 0

#

I did lose 70 rating in one night

tulip falcon
#

my mmr always been around 2.6 to 2.8 whole season

#

is nuts

#

how inflated it is

placid mirage
#

I settle for 2.2

bitter harness
#

I wonder if I can get 2.4k CR

#

but I'm already really happy about reaching 2.1

tulip falcon
#

it will get more inflated by the end

#

top will prob be 3.4k-3.5k on eu i bet

bitter harness
#

in RBG?

tulip falcon
#

ye

bitter harness
#

interesting

#

I've never really played RBGs before

#

they're a lot of fun though I feel like

#

more than arena imo

forest kite
#

i agree

tulip falcon
#

i haven't enjoyed arena since like WoD

#

or late mop

jade silo
#

Maybe a stupid question, but is the conquest Upgrade System the Same as for honor? I buy the item and can upgrade it for less conquest?

tulip falcon
#

yea it goes up with each rank like it does with honor gear though

#

so combatant->challenger will have a smaller cost than rival->duelist etc

jade silo
#

Okay ty. Just want to be sure That I Dont have to buy things twice:-)

tulip falcon
#

nah you can upgrade everything up to duelist and weps up to elite

#

but duelist armor has same ilvl as elite armor

pallid coral
#

I qed into nasim yesterday

#

was incredibly satisfying winning that game

#

little scottish fuck

tulip falcon
#

bro i had mudflap trying to message thrazz's mum on facebook and messaged some random woman with the same last name as him

#

but wasnt related

pallid coral
#

sounds about on brand for mudflap

#

him and his fucking brother

tulip falcon
#

its the same dude who posted one of our members' kids on 4chan so ye

pallid coral
#

yeah

#

they were absolute cnuts

tulip falcon
#

i was bad but i wouldn't go that far xD

bitter harness
tulip falcon
#

its nuts

pallid coral
#

yeah

tulip falcon
#

You remember aztek?

#

or w/e it spelled

pallid coral
#

yes

#

priest right?

tulip falcon
#

yeah

#

he spoke to me ben and thrazz a bit and he refuses to speak to us because ben said hi to drach

#

after all these years

pallid coral
#

rofl

#

does ben even still play

tulip falcon
#

yea he started in sl again

pallid coral
#

poggerse

tulip falcon
#

was gonna play 3s with him but we hated the stated of arena

pallid coral
#

I know wobz is playing again as well

tulip falcon
#

ye i played rbgs with him a couple of times

pallid coral
#

he's a good lad

tulip falcon
#

ben wants to push glad but i said i couldn't endure arena atm

pallid coral
#

3s is kind of oofter atm

#

it's better than it was in bfa at least

#

but still kinda tilting being run at by a ret paladin

tulip falcon
#

ye im not dying to passive buffs on gear

pallid coral
#

I've got some glad priest and hunter who keep begging to q

tulip falcon
#

welp 9 gushings me on cya guyz

pallid coral
#

but I have so little time with all the content

#

RBGs, raiding, pushing m+

tulip falcon
#

i havent queued rbgs in a while because i dont want to boost anymore

#

waiting til they do proper groups

#

not worth it

pallid coral
#

We only qed weekly wins this week

tulip falcon
#

finishing off like 3 2100 boosts then calling it and pushing properly

#

i got so tilted

pallid coral
#

your shaman in the last game tilted at our shaman so hard

#

rofl

tulip falcon
#

ye he was whisping us after the first game

#

a couple weeks ago

pallid coral
#

aaa

tulip falcon
#

thats why some people in our group whisped him in the 2nd game

pallid coral
#

rofl

tulip falcon
#

cos he was shittalking to our rogue after the 1st game for some reason

#

they seemed really happy about winning that one xD

tiny oar
#

nice nice

pallid coral
#

LMAO

tulip falcon
#

wow

pallid coral
#

I love rage whispers so much

#

it's so incredibly satisfying

tulip falcon
#

i used to have a collection

#

idk where they are now

exotic wolf
#

how do you pinpoint good groups in lfg?

#

is there even a good chance to find good rbg teams?

tulip falcon
#

see what their rating/achieves are

gray haven
#

Will Boat be good for arenas as well? or better to craft timeworn and boat separately for pvp?

tulip falcon
devout frost
#

never as good as dreambinder

devout frost
exotic wolf
#

hm i know a lot of good arena players but none seem to play rbg 😮

devout frost
#

good players dont play rbg

exotic wolf
#

always thought it's dead or some kind of "closed" community

tulip falcon
#

it sort of is unfortunately

devout frost
exotic wolf
#

lol

devout frost
#

which turned out to be underaged

tiny oar
#

rofl

tulip falcon
#

i mean i think the fact it's the most toxic infested shit in the game with rampant ddosing and cheating at a point is what killed it

#

the toxic part is still there

tiny oar
#

yea heard theres a lot of juicy drama with the rbg scene

#

10 guys simping over the 1 egirl etc

tulip falcon
#

anyone who is on EU and is in the need hota discord will know all about it

exotic wolf
#

the ddosing and toxicity i heard of too

tulip falcon
#

every time i have checked that discord i dont even need to scroll to find drama

lime light
#

I would like to simp too if possible @tiny oar

lime light
crude minnow
#

Rbgs have been fun mostly. I'm almost to 2.1k and I still feel like I'm picking out 60% of players who were clearly carried. Like how do you still not cc, still sit on the flag while defending, still spam starfall, etc

tulip falcon
#

ye boosting is a lot easier to do in RBGs so you'll find a lot of people

#

and there's been a lot of wintrading in previous seasons too

tiny oar
#

i simp for u buddy @lime light

crude minnow
#

I don't even mean boosted necessarily but just they skated by while being shit

tulip falcon
#

ye easily done

#

there are a lot of meme people on the rbg ladder on eu who have multiple hotas

crude minnow
#

Like this one boomy in my last rbg group had the highest gear and I was forced to sit instead of him while he starfalls and doesn't rotate after his cds are down

tulip falcon
#

gotta pad meters bro

devout frost
tulip falcon
#

exactly

#

"i top dmg how we lose"

stark wolf
#

warlock can do that easily

#

dot the ever living shit out of everything

#

hard to beat that

crude minnow
#

Atleast their padding slows by 50%

stark wolf
#

thats a fortunate side effect

#

for easier rating climb as i need currently for the gear 2v2 or 3v3 ? i intend to play with irl friends after so gona tank it anyway

crude minnow
#

Unfortunately I find a lot of people still think starfall and rot is always the play.

tulip falcon
#

just tell people to unbind starfall

pallid coral
#

wonder what team this is

tulip falcon
pallid coral
#

It's probably the old method team thinking about it

#

whaaz team

tulip falcon
#

could be

pallid coral
#

Weapons add up

#

at least

tulip falcon
#

yeah

#

i barely watch awc anymore

#

generally curious to see what happens

pallid coral
#

yeah

#

ok

#

it's deffinetly old method team

#

looking at transmogs

tulip falcon
#

think the staff is diff but ye its definitely the ones whaazz is using

pallid coral
#

the left staff is the one chas is using

#

it's the HFC archimonde staff

#

from normal

#

And there's zunniyaki

tulip falcon
#

oh i thought it was the challenge mode one in the pic

pallid coral
#

which is the right staff

tulip falcon
#

for some reason

pallid coral
#

can't find thesia

#

but it's def that team

#

and yeah i think awc is gonna be pog

#

the meta looks like a fun one to watch

tulip falcon
#

ye tired of watching dampening games the past few

#

i might not like playing this meta but it will be fun to watch

pallid coral
#

yeah

#

last meta was so fucking aids

just constant 20 minute mage lock mirrors

may as well watch mdi

Real PvPers, thoughts on PW in RBGs for more Rips and more Apex procs? I have no Symm

pallid coral
#

I probably wouldn't

#

But then again I don't play feral on any maps where you actually tf

tulip falcon
#

I've used it in some maps like gilneas/eots

#

it's pretty good if you're running apex

#

hella procs

#

but only in those types of maps where its a condensed tf

How was feral druid in tbc for arena?

sick wren
#

What legendary is everyone using as Balance in pvp?

#

Mostly in RBGs.

primal bane
#

rbg go boat

sick wren
#

thanks

tulip falcon
#

if you're nf yes go boat

crude minnow
#

Boat or dreambinder @sick wren ... If you are banking on convoke and have other good peeps with kill pressure boat is good. Dreambinder is better outside of convoke or for defending bases if you sit.

I find if you aren't used to playing with the team you're with that dreambinder will solo secure kills

#

Your total damage may be lower with dreambinder though so some dweebs might think you are doing worse

sick wren
#

yes, Im NF, atm I have the Arcanic Pulsar, can craft BoaT.

crude minnow
#

If you are only crafting 1 atm it may just depend on what you also do

sick wren
#

We are and have been a premade for years, so we gel well and I know my team. However, sometimes I will relieve someone and guard a base and go solo vs rogues or a feral or both.

#

My job pretty much is damage, spinning the flag in bgs like EOTS or Gilneas, etc. go bear form, cyclone, I do a lot of utility and CC aside focusing on damage when target calling.

#

So I am not too worried with the damage, but would like to improve it ofc.

#

our SP and Warlock do a lot of the damage, and our rogue.

tough forge
#

Is boat really that good for convoke in pvp? It's so random who it might hit it's not good prio damage no?

#

Rbgs that is

sick wren
#

well that's the thing, bit scary when you have CC around you, like blinds from rogues.

foggy nimbus
#

Boat works u basicly 3 starsurge kill some 1 Every eclipse. Plus If you are smart with convoke it can be a game changer

crude minnow
#

It won't break cc

tough forge
#

Personally prefer dreambinder for constant kill pressure, with boat if they interrupt or stun your convoke you lose a lot. Since crits so much weaker in pvp.

acoustic nebula
#

It's not weaker in pvp though

crude minnow
#

Dreambinder giving you 5 6-20k starsurges in a row is nuts

#

1.75 multiplier in pvp

acoustic nebula
#

Not so much weaker

tough forge
#

Is it 1.75? Thought it was 1.5 for some reason my bad

sick wren
crude minnow
#

Enough to consider.

Convoke with and without boat especially during CA is night and day though. Someone rarely dies during convoke if I'm dreambinder in a full team fight

#

But they die after when I spam starsurges with 600 mastery

acoustic nebula
#

100% crit still is just too good

foggy nimbus
#

I try and position my self hidden and at close to max range from 2-3 targets when I boat CA convoke. Specially if rest of group are focusing a healer.. seems to work

crude minnow
#

I find that 3 starsurges during normal eclipse with boat just doesn't kill as often unless you have good swaps with your team.

tough forge
#

@foggy nimbus do you nuke the melee attackers then? Seems like convoking the ones who go for healers would be big burst since it won't be as split

sick wren
#

It really is circumstantial and depends on the class you are trying to kill. Disc priest? Holy paladin?

crude minnow
#

I cc hpal for all eternity

sick wren
#

I find that shamans go down easy. If you are targetting healers, not sure how 3 starsurges will kill that.

acoustic nebula
#

If they crit... Lol

foggy nimbus
#

Ye that work to. If 1 or 2 over commit against your healers convoke takes care of them

crude minnow
#

Bormal eclipse boat is like 30% extra crit on average for 3 surges for 1.75 extra damage. Vs 4-5 starsurges for like 16% extra damage on average

sick wren
crude minnow
#

Always on use both

foggy nimbus
#

Yeah remove cc and into in use..

sick wren
#

so, should i wait for convoke when they are half health? I pop Inc+Convoke on them to melt them

foggy nimbus
#

Int*

sick wren
#

Yeah I use both for the bonus (on my armoury I am using that crap pve trinket for m+)

#

dont have any pve trinkets tbh

acoustic nebula
#

Yikes

crude minnow
#

Get your dots and ccs out. Make sure you aren't being focused then I convoke out of clear range of melee or a close spriest or lock or whatever

acoustic nebula
#

Why 235 pulsar

#

And you have no verse, idk

foggy nimbus
#

Convoke is also fun against flagging carriers

crude minnow
#

Need more verse, on use pvp trink, and then boat or dreambinder

#

Yeah watching a veng dh dying in the air as you convoke is funny

foggy nimbus
#

I would love to try a rbg team with like 6 balance druids for damage

#

The focus kills would be nuts

crude minnow
#

Good ones though. Low CR balance/lock/spriest stack teams are usually too shitty and get stomped

#

They don't cc and then starfall haha

foggy nimbus
#

Yeah. I always get confused when enemie boomie starfalls.

crude minnow
#

Having multiple boomies that actually surge the same target at the same time is strong, but I barely see it. I feel like on appropriate swaps I'm lucky to have 2-3 on that target in their burst window

haughty compass
#

The best is fighting a convoke moonkin and they just go bear when convoke doesn’t kill and run

crude minnow
#

What are they gonna do with 600 mastery and full ap? Fight? Nah convoke isn't up

Hi, what dmg talents/legendary are you guys using in rated bgs 2,2+ mmr

#

Boomie

unborn notch
#

i normally tank in rbgs so it doesn't seem to do much

modern flicker
unborn notch
#

does it channel into your target?

modern flicker
#

No

tulip falcon
#

no just anything in range

modern flicker
#

It shoots at random stuff in range

tulip falcon
#

and not in cc that can break

modern flicker
#

With some caveats for CCs

unborn notch
#

makes sense, kinda seems like a gimmick in high rated rbg's then

tulip falcon
#

most rbg boomers that i'm aware of are using nf

#

more people use kyrian for 3s

Pro tip root the target(s) you dont want to convoke, cant hit rooted targets

@vital parcel Looks like there's a pseudo guide in the pins. It'll tide me over

was thinking of making the cat jump thing into a macro but cba

but im probably not the person to ask, im a scrub

I got that and a form cancel + switch one its pretty good. so you dont wait for the gcd to swap around

vital parcel
#

Didnt know that was a thing in retail tbh

#

i have that for classic, might use that myself

#

kinda annoying trying to switch to bear and get caught mid form

clear pulsar
#

You don't have to macro wild charge + cancelform together for it to be off global

Cancelform only puts your forms on global, not the rest of your spells

its nice when that happens to mages in 2s cause it takes ages to kill them again with their shields

misty horizon
#

I'm thinking about stepping into pvp as feral and binds are seemingly going to be an issue initially. Is there any huge reason, at least early on at low CR to not make a cast sequence macro for Feral Frenzy and Shred? I know it would be lazy and not optimal but my focus currently is on saving binds

faint apex
#

I use shift and alt modifiers for mine. nomod=shred, shift=ff.

#

If I understand correctly you're wanting to macro so they both cast which may be a waste of a global in certain scenarios.

misty horizon
#

the idea would be /castsequence reset=45 FF, S, S, etc

clear pulsar
#

That is a bad idea

#

You don't press FF on cd like that

stray sigil
#

nonono no castsequences

clear pulsar
#

It's not a pve parse

#

You don't use FF just cuz it's available anytime like that

faint apex

Im mostly using mine for TF beserk set ups with the legendary.

or a maim

quaint rapids

Any insights on well honed instincts?

I feel like it's bis

It's bis

But if there's a mind games it kills you

Any content

You gotta live with that risk

Okay, I kinda expected that answer

clear pulsar

It's honestly fucking insane that it exists

quaint rapids
#

I don't wanna take it off anyway lol

#

I mean DH gets the darkness one

clear pulsar
#

But then again rogues get free restealths and dots cant break cuz shield endurance

#

The darkness one at least puts the spell on cd tho ye?

quaint rapids
#

Not that I know

clear pulsar

It does

quaint rapids
#

I think it works on vengeance

#

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

clear pulsar
#

Yeah thank fuck veng isn't as relevant as protpala in arena

primal bane
#

MM hunter feels like an early alpha spec

#

every damage attack is just a shot variation with an arrow icon

quaint rapids

I'm a shitter just learning arena properly

clear pulsar
#

So does feral

#

It's all fangs icons

#

Or paws

#

???

#

Cope bro

quaint rapids
#

So it's been tough dealing with pally rogue and monk

clear pulsar
#

Take the week off yea!?

#

Every rdru spell is just leaf icon variatons

quaint rapids
#

I always remember R means dot

#

Rake and rip

#

But honestly it's all just muscle memory at this point

#

S means direct damage

#

Shred and swipe

primal bane
#

bm buffs cant come soon enough i wanna play my hunt

quaint rapids
#

Hunters are stinky

#

So are pally and rogue

#

My hot take is if a hunter turtles, his pets should be pacified

primal bane
#

nah turtle already p shitty defense cooldown

quaint rapids
#

completely invulnerable

#

Pally shouldn't be able to attack while bubbled either honestly

primal bane
#

now that i can agree

#

bubble never felt right

#

never got how bubble managed to enter arena

#

but lay on hands didnt

quaint rapids
#

Fact that you can bop the seed

#

Wtf bliz

On seed

So seed should be taken when playing with pala?

Ok, good and easier than rdru 😀

clear pulsar

Hpal

#

Boomie, ele, enhance

#

Idk it's hard to say what is easier than rdru

#

Each spec has its way of being played

#

The very simple specs aren't good

#

Like bm and fury

#

paladin is very simple

#

every spec

#

press buble to survive

I would say the same for druid but

devout frost

press bear to survive

arms is pretty straightforward and good IMO

at what % of vers do you not get crushed at? Really struggling on my Druid... at 20% vers right now

do you guys ever take off celestial guardian or moonkin aura?

what conq weapon should i buy as balance ? 2h or 1h and why ?

2h has 3int more and kinda better stats for pvp

1h if u raid

is it better to buy fearful symmetry on head or gloves if i don't plan to upgrade it

royal tartan
#

Okay thanks. stat prio haste vers or mastery vers ?

vast vapor
#

is ww monk kiteable? also is there any benefit of cat forming instead of travel forming on arena?

I tend to just tank them as balance in bear so much, no idea if I should just try to run faster than them?

any good 2v2 boomie comps? just ele and hpal?

Don't play boomy as a one trick pony would be my advice

Opening with convoke is a mistake imo

rancid sundial

I'm kyrian

#

easy kick

#

Ah

#

Well

#

Then just do your thing

#

And enjoy not being a one trick pony

rancid sundial
#

I'd be higher rating as nf tbh lol. Spending a lot of time in bear getting yeeted and not building AP. Realllly poorly timing my goes, though

quaint rapids
#

The most annoying boomy I've fought just spammed sunfire moonfire

#

Then triple starsurged when his partner opened

#

Probably not being deleted by a rogue

#

He could be low verse

rancid sundial

nah I'm 200 ilvl in pvp gear just find I often need frenzied and phial (mostly playing double dps, though)

phial does way more in bear, right?

by ooming the disc

no fucking clue what to do vs the rest of them

chrome panther
#

roll over and play boomkin

#

rdruid is a mess.

crude minnow
#

Wait till they nerf hpals. That will be faster than them going oom

chrome panther
#

hopefully they just buff all the healers to hpal level

#

even hpal flops to some dps lineups

clear pulsar
#

The only nerf I'd expect to hpal

#

Is word of glory nerf

#

That affects all specs

#

I don't even know what would be a reasonable way to buff rdru tho

#

Maybe a decent pvp talent for a change

#

Fucking reactive resin is so ass lmao

#

But that's not gonna happen outside a major patch

#

It's absolutely wild when you look at disc and hpal pvp talents

#

Double BOP, Divine Favor, Light's Grace, Arch/Dark Arch, Trinity, Thoughtsteal, Dome

#

And then rdru has to take fucking Reactive Resin

crude minnow
#

A hot that heals based on the amount of damage the target is taking

clear pulsar
#

Should make something about NS availability

#

For a pvp talent

#

And uh maybe something like when you have 4 hots on a target your Regrowth always crits!?

#

Sounds reasonable

#

Maybe only 3

#

Yeah the shifts they made to design with the Swiftmend change and Regrowth more crit when it's already on target

#

Make sense for m+ cuz rdru was oppressively good at doing dam and still being the best healer

#

But it cuuuucked them in pvp

#

Shifting power towards Regrowth spam and more maintenance/less immediate pick up heal

Hey guys, just created a Druid

do you like healing, melee dps, or ranged dps

#

Guys, I’m aiming for 1800 rating in arena this season, hardly played any “real” pvp before - should I go balance or feral to easiest reach my goal?

#

Or is it even possible as Guardian as you suggest @haughty compass

#

😉

#

Currently 1200 btw (2v2)

scarlet pelican
#

thats my thing aswell shei

#

idk what to play xD

#

feral does ton of damage

#

and balance aswell tbh for what I have seen

tender mulch
#

I’d love to be a good feral, but man they are squeezy.. 😅 And balance just seems to oneshot

devout frost
#

balance is easier

scarlet pelican
#

they def getting nerfed tho

#

xD

tender mulch
#

+1

devout frost
#

druids arent top of the barrel atm

scarlet pelican
#

they do insane damage

sly marsh
#

convoke will get nerfed but thats it

devout frost
#

they havent nerfed noobstomp specs in the past

#

dont see why they would start now

sly marsh
#

and it will probably just shift the hard hitting spells to the end of channel to reward interrupting

scarlet pelican
#

hm

#

so balance ?

devout frost
#

plenty of specs that would need nerfs before us

scarlet pelican
#

what do you guys play ?

sly marsh
#

watch both specs on youtube or twitch and see which you like better. i play feral

clear pulsar
#

I could totally see them not nerfing anything tbh

devout frost
#

that would mean they had to care about pvp

clear pulsar
#

Maybe word of glory is the one thing that they need to address

#

LMAO

#

Tru

scarlet pelican
#

I never played a mage in this game

i played tanks and melee dps mainly

i have a holy paladin but damn healer is hard to play

if they do any buffs it gonna be complete jokes

play boomie then Lion's. mix it up 🙂

4% more dps for fury warr

@sly marsh true, however feral seems to be more the target thats being slamed - I’m a pve play, so I usually sort panic when i’ve 2-3 ppl chasing me, haha 😅

scarlet pelican
#

thank you for your helps

sly marsh
#

lol yeah feral is often the kill target. but thats a fun opportunity to outplay -- kite, positioning, bear form, etc

#

not for everyone though.

tender mulch
#

Where should I go to learn - i’m having a BLAST with feral in bgs, but arena is another beast haha

#

Who did you learn from when you started @sly marsh

crude minnow
#

True, you are in bear form more (kek)

sly marsh
#

back in the day i learned by watching skillcapped videos, i dont really have a go-to feral player that i watch now. i would like to find one, though 😄

#

i think for beginners, general arena guides are most useful. if you can pve you can probably play your class well enough, but learning about positioning and DRs and stuff like that is important to take the next step

#

and that isnt class or spec specific knowledge

tidal notch
#

which lego do moonkin use for pvp? mainly arenas

thorns damage is awesome but if they have a healer it's rough, i've been doing a lot of 2v2 as boomy with a sub rogue

devout frost
#

but if they have a healer theyre not double meele

#

as boomkin u only burst every 60s anyway

#

dont need to put much pressure in between

I've been playing a lot of feral in PvP

sly marsh
#

if youre playing with a rogue he should be peeling for you against double melee

pulsar lark
#

Well the rogue should set up peels as well. He should be sitting between you and the melee. Crippling with shiv as well.

Quick question for the PvPers

#

Is PvP gear needed for world pvp?

#

Okay cool, I was thinking if anything, get the trinkets for the vers, but does that matter for outside battle grounds?

timber wadi
#

The trinket bonus applies for arenas, bgs and war mode

acoustic kindle
#

Okay, that would be the ones I would get then.

#

Just for the break free of stun and burst.

#

@pallid coral you really think that’s a good change? But now you can’t root pets to convoke, and you might break hunter traps

viral ocean
#

Yeah but you can root+solar and blow them up if they dont have a way to get out.

heady vessel
#

Idk, i guess i dont see The point of why blizz would allow it to hit breakable cc, The cyclone thing is a good change

#

I guess, but i just liked the fact that you could choose who you wanted to convoke by rooting The others

#

I mean, you technically still can, but it requires a cyclone cast instead of an instant root, but you can only have cyclone on 1 target
