Hello folks. I'm a pvp newb boomkin frustrated as hell with 2's lol how many of you guys do 2's without a "carry class" like pallies?

clear pulsar
#

Druid is the carry class

Ya u own the entire game

I have trouble climbing in 2's with my frost dk buddy. Locking them down for burst is hard, seems like they always find a way to interrupt my burst and/or kill one of us first. Maybe I just suck 😭😂

edgy shale
#

well frost dks aren't normally the best at 2s and double dps can also be hard

twilit siren
#

is dh at a disadvantage vs rogue sitting I can't tell happens both ways in my games

#

is it downtime on sight?

forest kite
#

I kinda shot myself in the foot, i played Feral on our Stonelegion prog and i did pretty OK But then they asked me to try my monk

#

and i beat our main monk with 5 ilvls more

#

so now im stuck on monk

#

not on all pulls but i was always 1st/2nd on the ww

Ouch and i thought i had it bad when i dropped 400 rating in a session. Guess i dont feel so bad anymore 🙂

#

If i saw that with an lfg’er i would ask how much they paid for the boost to 2.4 😂

tardy hare
#

ahaha i did it intentionally tho

#

Why would you do that intentionally? 🤔

Ah to boost?

Hey guys, tips on getting trained as balance in a melee-boomkin-heal comp vs a melee-melee-heal comp?

#

I can't seem to get out of bear form for meaningful damage

#

When i played caster-boomkin, the caster would freecast and would deal lots of dmg while a melee just gets cleaved with me

forest kite
#

once they use their offensive CD , you can tank them in moonkin form

#

also , try to kite ( Wild charge used in regular form to jump on your healer ) is usefull

#
  • always try to drag them in the opposite side of their healer , behind a pillar / anything etc
stark frigate
#

Thanks - then would wild charge be a better choice than renewal in this case? Also, I was thinking wouldn't my kiting effectively be kiting my teammate melee as well? making him use a charge/roll whatever to deal damage

#

Or am i playing the comps wrong? Does my teammate go onto the enemy healer?

What is the plan as resto/Spriest against monk/healer? Do we go healer and root/vortex monk or go monk and try to keep him disconnected from the priest as much?

To do what? Play the game in the way they enjoy instead of bitching about anything and everything that moves in it everytime he types a message?

is there any chance to win affliction/healer as moonkin/healer in 2s ?

Sooner or later gods gonna cut u down

#

If I'm only doing rbgs is night fae/convoke the best choice? For boomkin

candid dragon
#

It is. I'm Kyrian myself so it's fun to see people in calls go like "Protect our chicken so he can convoke the other team" and i'm over here feelin' like an imposter. BCblobcatsweats

candid dragon
#

Doesn't matter that i'm using the Kyrian mount either but y'know.

tall knoll
#

I feel like both is fine. Even with convoke you generally want to try and burst 1-2 targets since most of the damage comes from SS/Wrath. Kyrian might not be as flashy but much more consistent.

#

Plus kyrian ability lines up perfectly with 1 minute pvp damage trinket

dapper forge
#

If you're focus targeting well enough I feel like Kyrian is better.

candid dragon
#

Oh defo, Kyrian works but y'know in the pug world when people associate boomies with Night Fae Convoke since they're all over the place.... It leaves misplaced expectations.

tall knoll
#

Before playing boomie myself i also thought press convoke and do huge aoe damage.

#

But even in rbgs you dont want to run around with starfall up. Its still about bursting down 1-2 targets

teal hinge

I agree

tall knoll
#

I feel like kyrian is better with on use because it lines up with covenant ability

teal hinge
#

Yeah it's nice

#

Feels good

tall knoll
#

Ita still good with night fae and convoke but im considering the passive one as well

foggy ravine
#

On use damage or battle masters trinket

#

Passive proc is Garbo as dps in arenas IMO

blissful belfry
#

^

#

you want your damage when you go for a burst, not randomly

#

kinda pepega to have int proc when u sit in bear at 25% hp

foggy ravine
#

ye and battlemasters is an extra defensive if you are scarred of a comp

lime light
#

passiv proc is good also

#

battlemaster is nerfed from 1 min 30 sec to 2 min cd

#

still decent trinket

blissful belfry
#

how is passive proc good tainton

for boomy

#

Hey, any thoughts on Starlord vs Incarn as boomie in 2s with a healer ?

blissful belfry
#

you play boat or dreambinder? NF or kyr

sick latch
#

Mb, NF boat boomie

#

Also Solstice vs FoE, i'm currently around 2k mmr in 2s

blissful belfry
#

from my experience, as nf boat, your only real win condition is killing with incarn-convoke. Starlord is lackluster in the way it doesnt increase that kill potential.

#

i prefer to use incarn

#

(incarn also lets you incarn+convoke out of stealth without needing the gcd to go owl form first)

#

as for solstice vs foe, i dont really now. i've been using solstice, but FoE should be good regardless

#

talking about 2s here

sick latch
#

Thats true although isnt the only benefits of incarn -> convoke 10% more crit for the convoke duration ?

blissful belfry
#

incarn jsut gives 10% more crit yes. (the longer double eclipse duration isnt super value) but 10% extra crit is pretty nice, and better than some haste.

#

in my books at least

#

with the 10% crit from incarn, it makes sure your first second of convoke is 100% crit on surge

sick latch
#

i'm running foe, feels like a good tool to help the burst but i'm wondering if vs some matchups where mana matters like vs disc solstice would be better for more overall dmg

blissful belfry
#

80% from boat + 10% incarn + your stats

#

yeah solstice vs foe is a though choice. FoE has nice burst. It is definitely better if you run dreambinder. on a boat comp, foe isnt as dominant, but i think its more of a preference

primal bane
real spire
#

NF feral main looking to give boom a try, looks like most people here run boat? How do you feel about circle of life and death? Mostly like running rbg’s, might try to break into 3’s soon.

foggy ravine
#

dreambinder or boat for boomy

#

circle is for rotting

#

so pretty niche

#

Does Necrolord work well for more than just Resto for Arena/RBG?

lime light
#

no

placid minnow
#

Pretty much only see Kyrian on top of the ladder for DPS, Necro for Resto

#

But I really don't want all my leathers to be Kyrian err

lime light
#

play nf

#

kiddo?

placid minnow
#

NF is overexposure overload

#

Also inferior

#

Also roulette machines are boring

gritty mortar
#

so i was told i shouldnt step in the arena if i dont have at least 20% vers lol is that true? im only 16%

cold escarp
#

what are some good binds for target arena123? shift 123 is already used for me

placid minnow
#

Ctrl 1 2 3 4, Shift 1 2 3 4, Mouse clicks, Shift+Mouse clicks, etc

#

I use all of the above and Q E R 5 § F C T G V and all their shift+

cold escarp
#

thanks

blissful belfry
#

vers WILL help you, but not as dramatically as some people might suggest

#

just queue up, gear up and play. you'll get better at the game / you'll get better gear and your cr will naturally climb

#

no such thing as a minimum

split bluff
#

how in the fuck do you have 4% vers anyway

#

were you literally trying to ignore it as a stat?

blissful belfry
#

yes

#

i was pve

split bluff
#

fair enough

blissful belfry
#

and vers wasnt coming out on top with my topgear

#

i pushed my 2.1 with 4%, since then i climbed to like 19-20% because pvp gear is massive

split bluff
#

and if you can help it don't use wsad

#

no idea how ctrl+4 is a usable bind for a human being

foggy ravine
#

ctrl pinky 4 is index

#

ez

#

alt is awkawrd next to spacebar imo

blissful belfry
#

i always prefer to use shift. but im runnin outta binds

foggy ravine
#

ya I use shift mostly

blissful belfry
#

i find alt and ctrl awkward, but i use ctrl for some keybinds cuz i ran out of shifts

cold escarp
#

i dont like alt too

#

and ctrl 4 is good bind

blissful belfry
#

ctrl d, ctrl f are kinda natural

cold escarp
#

it depends how you place your hand on keyboard

foggy ravine
#

also use asd for kick + shift asd for clone arena targets

cold escarp
#

i dont like to bind modifier on movement keys

split bluff
#

why do you use wsad when you could have whole left of your keyboard open?

cold escarp
#

can be awkward if u wanna press it while moving

blissful belfry
#

the binding i really need to remove is my fuckin middle mouse. I often mousewheel up instead of middle mousewheel

split bluff
#

just because some guy used it in q1 tourny 20+ years ago?

foggy ravine
#

only have qwe bound for movement

cold escarp
#

oh

foggy ravine
#

unbind back-peddle and you never back-peddle in pvp

cold escarp
#

i wad for movement always because i play shooters all my life

#

hard to switch to qwe

blissful belfry
foggy ravine
#

lmao

split bluff
#

also played shooters my whole life, used edsf

blissful belfry
#

I havent read the Art of War by sun tzu, but im sure thats in it

cold escarp
#

edsf puts your hand further from modifiers 🤔

split bluff
#

I mean it makes some ctrl+ combos more awkward

#

still the gain is worth it imo

cold escarp
#

what do you even gain

split bluff
#

you can actually hit more than 2 keys with your pinky that way

blissful belfry
#

im so awkward with my pinky, i think if it got cut off i wouldnt even mind it

cold escarp
#

then you cant walk in CSGO tho

blissful belfry
#

cant walk when you rush B

foggy ravine
#

instead of binding half your keyboard you could just bind 30 things to your mouse

split bluff
#

and then replace it every 6 months

#

because both naga and logitech options are pure shit

cold escarp
#

those big bulky mouses suck for anything other than wow

foggy ravine
#

idk i've had my naga for a year and its fine

cold escarp
#

u play any shooters?

split bluff
#

you don't pump enough if it's fine after a year :)

foggy ravine
#

ya csgo

teal hinge
#

Q and J for strafe. Binds on keys in betweeen

foggy ravine
#

mad man

split bluff
#

alien

blissful belfry
#

what kind of keyboard you have

#

Q and J?

#

i went and googled azerty keyboard and still doesnt make sense

teal hinge
#

Normal keyboard

split bluff
#

and what do you use to move forward?

#

mouse 3?

teal hinge
#

W

split bluff
#

that's so fucked, unless you have like 2 extra fingers growing from your wrist

blissful belfry
#

''wasd? i use a6hl''

teal hinge
#

My hands naturally rest on those keys

blissful belfry
#

pic or didnt happen

foggy ravine
#

and I use a steering wheel for movement

split bluff
#

but using this setup you can't always move and hit most your keybinds at the same time

#

which is like fail #1 for me

teal hinge
#

I'm at work atm. Not home to send pic

foggy ravine
#

moving and using hotkeys is pretty important lol

blissful belfry
#

i just had an idea to isolate my convoke when there are pet armies. Im thinkin of spammin 3 roots in a row on my kill target to make him immune, then rootbeam his friends and the pet army and then convoke. But something within me is telling me im just extremely stupid

fathom stump
#

Are there any Guardian rbg streamers

split bluff
#

for me main advantage of convoke is just holding it making the other team shit themselves while I pump dmg

blissful belfry
#

the main problem i face when i hold convoke is that they just train me 24/7 if i dont set it up early when they cant see me. and when im just under constant pressure, i cant pump nor can i find a convoe window

split bluff
#

go bear to tank, pull them across map if they follow you win cd trade

#

depends what you play too

#

I recently played with aff lock and hpal and it was so much fun watching ape double melee holding their load until I convoke

blissful belfry
#

yeah i guess i can drag them to a LoS pillar from their healer. I just find that i drop 40 IQ when im getting hit

split bluff
#

also in that setup mass root+ deep roots is quite op

blissful belfry
#

mass root is nice, but like, 95% of comps have an hpal that can freedom it and dispell the other

#

goddamn hpals

split bluff
#

can't dispel with ua or out of los tho

#

and lock+boom dots rot pretty nicely

blissful belfry
#

yeah i dont have a lock friend

#

let me rephrase, i dont have a lock friend with positive IQ

fathom stump
#

Any Guardian rbg streamers or Video guides out there?

#

Smb knows ?

blissful belfry
#

some people watch asmr to go to sleep, some other want to watch a guardian druid afk a point waiting for someone to try and cap it

60% fr ?

why do u say 60

fucking protection paladins in pvp is a joke

With the conduit it pushes be to a little over 60%

stray sigil

thats not how it works

#

InchGod

stray sigil
#

the conduit is 15% of the healing

#

15% of 33%

#

not 15 + 33

obtuse ice
#

48

stray sigil
#

its like 6% more healing on it

so its like a 40% regen

#

i wonder about that bear form conduit that boost hp and armor. It sounds appealing when you pre-bear stuns

#

i have been running the frenzy regen self bonus as 2nd, but im starting to think bear hp armor is better

thick minnow
#

Its like 9% when using it

#

I go from 52.8% to 61.7%

stray sigil
#

yes cuz ur not accounting

#

for ur vers

#
  • pvp bonus from trinket
#

if ur in warmode

junior plover
#

bear armour hp is alright

#

but its not as good as 15% more self healing

thick minnow
#

Literally saying getting 60% of my health back with oen FR vs slightly over 50%

junior plover
#

given how much you self heal

thick minnow
#

Feels good

#

Compared to any other conduits

stray sigil
#

the armor conduit kinda garbo

junior plover
#

I run it into rogue mage in 2s

foggy ravine
#

but you don't get 60% from a FR

stray sigil
#

why though

junior plover
#

if you bear on the rogue go

#

its free

stray sigil
#

4s

#

is like the 1st cheap shot

#

its mega trash

junior plover
#

Its more than enough

edgy shale
#

i only run ursine if im doing trip endurance

junior plover
#

If I get bear on their go i dont even have to skin

#

with triple endu

thick minnow
#

I literally just now healed for 61.7%

stray sigil
#

u dont even die to rogue dmg vs rogue mage anyways

#

so the armor is def not useful

junior plover
#

You underestimate how much damage rogues still deal lmao

edgy shale
blissful belfry
#

you look more like an ugly cow

stray sigil

thats fake news cant dual wield @vestal citrus

junior plover

I've died in 4 globals to a rogue solo

edgy shale
#

junior plover
#

Mind that this is 2s Rogue Mage

#

not RMP

thick minnow
#

Urine Vigor is more for the HP

stray sigil
#

i mean

#

if u pre bear and skin

#

with the regen proc

edgy shale
#

i dont think ursine wojld change that tho

thick minnow
#

Extra like 6k hp to go through

stray sigil
#

u will never die vs rogues

junior plover
#

Yeah def as 3rd

#

I just dont feel i need a potency vs rogue mage

#

a 2nd potency

junior plover
#

but i get to save skin

#

more often than you'd think

thick minnow
#

But it feels like if you dont bear before the burst, it's useless

#

if you do, it's nice

stray sigil
#

no shot u get to save skin cuz of usors

junior plover
#

If I get pre bear

#

on mage rogue opener

#

i dont skin

#

and I always live

#

legit

#

I rake the mage into bear and if they dont like trinket db me before bear

blissful belfry
#

skin is 1m cd tho, if i see rogue mage usin both cd, im not holdin skin

junior plover
#

they cant touch me in the opener

edgy shale
#

they get so many resets

blissful belfry
#

resets yeah, but they dont get combust again before you get skin back

junior plover
#

You'll regret not having that skin on their next go in 20s kapthaw

#

Idk I'm just sharing what I had success with at 2.2-2.3k mmr

#

but the matchup is free regardless

#

its just extra safety

stray sigil
#

u should have skin for every combust realistically

#

around the same cd

blissful belfry
#

ya

haughty compass
#

I just want to play moonkin melee healer with the same comp and same players and master the comp... is that too much to ask?

Realistically

the HP trinket is better

I'm sure

than ursain and damage trinket

Not wrong

the math doesnt add up

edgy shale

hes so tilted

indigo forum
#

i wish we had rated solo q tbh

stray sigil
#

solo q doesnt make sense for arenas in a game like wow lol

#

rbgs sure

edgy shale
#

the convinience would be nice. byt i dont really wanna play against 45k hp war pal with a 20k hp dk as my partner or some shit

indigo forum
#

it dies though, just put specs in their own brackets

#

does*

thick minnow
#

But you already play vs that

#

Especially the 2v2 bracket

indigo forum
#

spending hours in LFG to find ppl only for them to leave after one loss is so bad

#

im just tired 😒

edgy shale
#

i control my partner yho lol

thick minnow
#

TBH the reason it wouldnt work isnt because of gear. It would be because of player mentality

#

after 2 years, people would have tons of alts

#

and just not give a fuck if they won/lost

indigo forum
#

ppl that wouldnt care would be at low rating

thick minnow
#

not true at all

indigo forum
#

and ppl that cared could reach for high personals

thick minnow
#

go look at dota right now

#

yseterday I played vs a 7k+ mid player

#

at 5k MMR

stray sigil
#

u cant compare

thick minnow
#

he shit on everyone

stray sigil
#

a moba to a mmo

indigo forum
#

its another game

thick minnow
#

yes you can lol

#

its not the game, its the mentality

stray sigil
#

?

thick minnow
#

that mentality is the same across all genres

#

that you have alts and you dont care

stray sigil
#

if we had solo q with seperate brackets for healer/dps and double dps

thick minnow
#

dota matchmaking is a shit show right now and its solo Q

stray sigil
#

u would have rogue and hybrids running over the double dps part

thick minnow
#

especially once you reach over 5k MMR

#

you play vs 7k+ players all the time

indigo forum
#

specs would have their own brackets, for example if i have 1800 rating on balance spec and switch to resto my rating would be 0 and separate from myu balance spec rating

thick minnow
#

so?

#

i dont care about my resto spec

#

im just gonna fuck around

#

then play serious

#

then fuck around

#

rinse/repeat

stray sigil
#

u can already do that in 2s

#

u dont need soloq to fuck around

indigo forum
#

i dont get your pooint

thick minnow
#

exactly. and 2s is already a shit show

stray sigil
#

i mean solo q would never work for 3s

#

it would have to be 2s or rbgs

indigo forum
#

why wouldnt it work tough?

thick minnow
#

point is in 2 years alts will have permeated the system

indigo forum
#

for 3s?

thick minnow
#

and you'll play to be serious

stray sigil
#

u would lose in the starting area ? ??

#

lol

thick minnow
#

while others play to not give a fuck and dick around

stray sigil
#

2 rogues rdru vs like rmp or turbo

#

? ? ? ? ?

indigo forum
#

you would still face ppl with same mmr as you

thick minnow
#

but way better players

#

at your MMR

indigo forum
#

there would have been rules ofc

thick minnow
#

which means theyre not at your MMR

#

theyre just at your MMR because theyre not trying

placid mirage
#

Off meta has 30min lfg queue anyways

thick minnow
#

if they try, you lose

#

it's how it is right now in dota

stray sigil
#

ya but they ahve30min queus

thick minnow
#

its a huge issue with Matchmaking

stray sigil
#

but people are willingly choosing

thick minnow
#

once again

#

games

indigo forum
#

if you play a mistweaver at 1300 personal rating you wouldnt get paired with a arms war at 2k rating

edgy shale
stray sigil
#

to play with them

thick minnow
#

do

#

not

#

matter

edgy shale
#

literally type READ ABOVE DUMBASS

thick minnow
#

mentality matters

stray sigil
#

the other way is im forced to play with a fury warrior

#

cuz i qd soloq

thick minnow
#

this mentality is the same across team games

stray sigil
#

not remotely similar

placid mirage
#

What if they had solo queue up to like 1800 cr

thick minnow
#

if you have a team focused game

#

you will run into this issue

#

in any genre

indigo forum
#

solo q is a separate bracket

thick minnow
#

of Solo Q

stray sigil
#

@edgy shale tettleslul

#

i did laugh when i saw that ngl

indigo forum
#

even if you get a bad comp you will also get good comps from time to time

placid mirage
#

Ya but what if after a certain rating u had to be premade again

stray sigil
#

soloq would be like who can climb with the worst comps

thick minnow
#

but how fun is it to lose becasue you have to play RMP as Hunt/War/MW

stray sigil
#

thats it

thick minnow
#

or win because you play RMP vs Hunt/War/MW

#

or lose because you have teammates that dont wanna play and flame you all game

indigo forum
#

specs would have a separate rating also, so i dont care if fire mages are good because i only compete vs ppl with the same spec

stray sigil
#

ok so now ur talking about a ladder for mirrors

placid mirage
#

Bc honestly it seems like most of the people bitching for solo queue just want to slam games below 1800

stray sigil
#

makes no sense

indigo forum
#

the reason for solo q qwould be that you wanna play serious pvp but not rely on getting partner all the time and sitting in q for 2 hrs

stray sigil
#

if u play a set up comp in soloq

#

u would like

#

never win any games

#

if the other team is a full zugzug

thick minnow
#

^

indigo forum
#

rewards wouldnt be as good ofc but better than skirmishes

thick minnow
#

the mechanics of Solo Q doesnt work for WoW

indigo forum
#

you play because its better than skirmishes

placid mirage
#

It's like if skirms gave rating kekw

indigo forum
#

and if you cant find partners

edgy shale
#

i mean idk, u could argue the mechanics of solo Q don't work for league or mobas in general. cuz the ntire point of that game is having good team cohesion

stray sigil
#

how is it better than skirms

edgy shale
#

ppl do solo Q anyway

stray sigil
#

its the literal same thing

placid mirage
#

Is it only better because it attaches internet points to it?

stray sigil
#

ur just asking

thick minnow
#

Solo Q doesnt work for most games that rely heavily on teamwork

stray sigil
#

for like getting cr at the end

indigo forum
#

because its rating based @stray sigil wich would mean better rewards at higher personal rating

edgy shale
#

ya, u get ur role but ur still 5 people stuck on a team with 0 synergy

stray sigil
#

other than that

thick minnow
#

and work best for FPS games where you can solo caryr

stray sigil
#

its literally the same thing as a skirm

thick minnow
#

if you can just go SSJ4 and outplay everyone and win 95% of the time, solo Q is good

indigo forum
#

no because each spec is in its own bracket..

#

so comps doesnt matter as much

stray sigil
#

u cant make a ladder for mirrors

#

like feral can only q into ferals

#

?

edgy shale
#

50 minute Qs

indigo forum
#

and you cant get paired with 2 healers for example or double boomy

edgy shale
thick minnow
#

dont even wanna imagine the Q times

#

lol

stray sigil
#

imagine u play a spec that nobody plays

#

like arcane mage

#

what do u do ?

#

lol

placid mirage
#

Pve

stray sigil
#

u sit in 15 hour q cuz u cant do mirrors since nobody plays that hsit

foggy ravine
#

1v1 ladder could be interesting

placid mirage
#

No lol

edgy shale
#

ya as a meme i agree

foggy ravine
#

Ya

edgy shale
#

not a competitive format but for fun, why not

foggy ravine
#

Could never be that competitive

stray sigil
#

just go outside duro and sw

placid mirage
#

1v1 skirms lol

stray sigil
#

theres ur 1v1 ladder

foggy ravine
#

Fax

indigo forum
#

it was a suggestion for getting something out of arenas while you cant get partners

#

its not a main game

placid mirage
#

Imagine how many whispers u would get if there was 1v1 queue

thick minnow
#

"lol ok pssuy mage sheep adn rnu away and wait for COmbuSt LOL broken"

placid mirage
#

It would just be rogues resetting for an hour

haughty compass
#

I’m gonna make holy priest warrior moonkin work.

placid mirage
#

That's what I play

#

We only like 1950 rn tho

haughty compass

We’re about there as well, tanked a little

#

My healer buddy keeps rerolling

placid mirage
#

Lol

#

We just have to do better cross cc

stray sigil

reroll hpal

haughty compass

Like 1840’atm

stray sigil
#

grats u have a good comp

placid mirage
#

Xddd

haughty compass
#

Lol yea

#

I’d rather him play a spec he likes and perfects it

placid mirage
#

1v1 ladder but max rating is 1200 and you get 1 per win

haughty compass
#

Solo Q would o my be cool as a way to fuck around when your team isn’t on

indigo forum
#

bad specs would be placed as hihg in mmr since they would lose more

#

wouldnt*

stray sigil
#

that makes no sense there are good players playing bad specs

indigo forum
#

ye then you have a good player on your team 😄

haughty compass
#

You can make any spec work if you play 3000 games a season

placid mirage
#

Not everyone

indigo forum
#

if i could play more 3s i would but i dont know any ppl that are same rating as me :/ my guild only pves

#

is there anyone that have long lasting partners from lfg here?

#

idk i cant find any

#

try keep in touch with players from lfg but it doesnt go that well

haughty compass
#

I’m literally teaching my 2 irl friends how to play on my alt, it’s actually fun

#

We got 1600, which was a big deal for them

stray sigil
#

my partners are just people i shit on in lfg

#

and one day they /w me to trfy an q

haughty compass
#

Mistweaver monk kyrian warrio and necro boomkin lol

indigo forum
#

my lfg experience is litteraly ''getting home from work then looking for ppl for about 1-2 hrs, find partners do like 3 games lose one and they leave, repeat untill i realeise i dont have time to arena anymore''

haughty compass
#

We went to real nagrand and practiced positioning

indigo forum
#

i add everyone i play with on btag

haughty compass
#

It’s a grind like anything else in this game

stray sigil
#

gotta prove to people ur worth qin with is all

indigo forum
#

well i think i have

#

even played with ppl much lower cr than me

#

boost them up then they wont play anymore lul

haughty compass
#

Lots of people looking for that1600 / 1800 gear bench mark

indigo forum
#

im at around 2k, was at 2.1 then my partners i had stopped playing and lfg experience tanked me down to 2k

#

super annoying

#

would think ppl wanted to push to 2.1k

#

but almost everyone expect to have 100% winrate lul

thick minnow
#

Arena just in a weird place because the bottom dropped out. So the top/mid level players all have their friends that they rotate through

#

and the mid/bottom just rotate between people

indigo forum
#

ye it feels just like that

#

i just had such a bad experience these last 2 weeks so i guess thats why im ranting haha

thick minnow
#

I get that too. Played with Hpal that was greedy with CD's and we died through it (almost lived). Told him "dont know if we can be greedy there. Just throw out BoP next time and we're good"

#

told me to fuck off and left

last jackal
#

standard community sadly

#

cant take few words

indigo forum
#

lul same happened to me when i told an hpal ''dont hold bubble if we dont have any way out

thick minnow
#

hard to find people with a good mindset. And then be able to get on consistently

indigo forum
#

its so hard

thick minnow
#

if I fuck up i'm "holy fuck i'm so bad I'm sorry. That was so dumb"

indigo forum
#

its too bad cuz my guild is super friendly but everyone is at like 1.2 ratiung hehe

thick minnow
#

if they fuck up it's "no you didn't do XYZ, I shouldnt have to be in the position, you should have done X"

indigo forum
#

ye none can blame themselves

thick minnow
#

then theyre just hardstuck at 2k and think its everyone else

#

only solice is knowing they wont ever climb

indigo forum
#

i found a super nice lock to play with but he is a tight time schedule so hes almost never online

#

im at the point where i almost dont care anymore wven tough i really love 3s pvp

blissful belfry
#

Do yall think RBG mmr / cr will be inflated like it is right now for the next season too or do you think they will try to push it back to a more reasonable setting

indigo forum
#

its often quite wacky

thick minnow
#

I thikn they'll just make loot more rewarding on the PvE side

#

because PvP gearing is amazing right now

#

compared to PvE

blissful belfry
#

yeah, im just trying to peer into blizz's head, but then i get lost because its a chaotic mess in blizz's head

indigo forum
#

im balance so finding ppl shouldnt feel as bad

#

but it seems so atm

proven bridge
#

quick Q - if I hop into arenas with a 1400 friend and im a fresh character with no played pvp matches at all, what are we going up against?

edgy shale
#

ya. ppl are quick to blam feral rather than blaming their owns mistakes / overall lack of synergy / jsut unlucky matches sometimes

indigo forum
#

ye everyone just wanna play with fmage

#

im not the fotm type of guy also

#

i really like druid pvp

#

but ye the struggle is real

thick minnow
#

I'd say keep focusing on finding friends

#

and building that up

#

thats your biggest success chance

indigo forum
#

ye im trying, last weeks have been really toxic tough haha

blissful belfry
#

people are so meta slaves

indigo forum
#

ya not much to do about it

#

easier ye but do i wanna play a class i dont like

edgy shale
#

i was really close to rolling a monk, but then i figured they'd be nerfed like a month ago

indigo forum
#

if i knew i would get glad as firemage i would do it

#

but im not that high as a player

blissful belfry
#

people playing fotm makes me wanna throw up. but i bear with it cuz i figure if enough people play the stronger classes, they might nerf them and leave mine alone

indigo forum
#

its worse when ppl are rolling fotm then suck at the class and blames everyone else for it haha

#

many ppl seem to play the game like its an single player game when its really a team game for most parts

livid wasp
#

why cant blizzard add an option to blacklist a class

#

im so sick of facing arms warrs in 3s theyre broken as fuck

edgy shale
#

lool

#

i feel that

#

but thats also insanely ridiculous

#

i am also sick of warriors

stray sigil
#

which one is worse warriors

#

or

#

ww

#

pick ur poison

livid wasp
#

warriors by far

#

intervene needs a major nerf

#

2 min cd instead of fucking 30 secs

indigo forum
#

warriors are fine aslong as they dont a´have a ret enabling them

#

ww are worse because their dmg is just over the top

livid wasp
#

warriors are always complete aids

#

against jungle

#

intervene for every go

indigo forum
#

against jungle ya

livid wasp

yesterday I was 2366 and now im down 200 rating cause of those aids comps

With scheduled weekly maintenance (tomorrow, February 9 in this region), we will make the following PvP balance adjustments.

WAIT PVP CHANGES

#

YES

pallid coral
#
    Pyrokinesis reduces Combustion’s cooldown by 3 seconds (was 5 seconds).
#

ok

#

as if this actually does anything

#

3 seconds is still an insane number

#

LMAO

vast vapor
#

lol

pallid coral
#

that holy nerf is actually pretty big

vast vapor
#

yeah its still wont line with defensives

junior plover
#

fire is dead

#

long live frost

#

no Kapp

#

frost will fucking slap

vast vapor
#

yeah it already does

junior plover
#

yep

#

its gonna be meta now probably

novel sky
#

neat

junior plover
#

ACTUAL NICE CHANGES

vast vapor
#

if some1 wants to force it like streamers often do

junior plover
#

no arms tho 😠

forest kite
#

1 buff to ray of frost will make frost meta lol?

vast vapor
#

but fire will still be better

junior plover
#

this nerf is absolutely huge

forest kite
#

Fire will still be way better, glacial spike is unplayable in pvp too

junior plover
#

and so is the frost buff

#

wait really

forest kite
#

why do you think the frost buff is huge?

junior plover
#

Ahh glacial spike is the big spike thing

#

Yeah but at least it shows

#

they're willing to balance outside of AWC

surreal elbow
#

stil no fix to ret paladins that do 25k dps?

#

yikes

vast vapor
#

they want to let them have fun for a while

stray sigil
#

dude those changes are ass lol

#

literally will not do a thing

vast vapor
#

yes

stray sigil
#

? ? ?

#

@vestal citrus ? ? ?? ? ?

#

if they nerf bite dmg

#

and not buff bleeds

#

in compensation

#

its so doomed lol

#

na but for real

#

blizzard is trolling

#

these patch notes are awful lol

#

literally doesnt address any problem

vast vapor

even more burst for hunters

rofl

stray sigil

cant tell if ur srs

indigo forum

finally fire mage and hpal nerfs

hpal nerf are actually really big

junior plover

Wdym

the fire mage nerf

is absurdly hooge

stray sigil
#

LOl

indigo forum
#

its not that huge

stray sigil
#

the fire nerf is literally fuckall

indigo forum
#

combust is still really strong

#

wont be up as often tough

junior plover
#

Its like +20s on combust

#

AT LEAST

indigo forum
#

you still have to live trough it 🙂

junior plover
#

Yes

surreal elbow
#

they cant nerf feral bites its legit our only source of damage if we dont bring back bleed based feral its indeed doomed

junior plover
#

which you do by trading a defensive

#

and by the time you run out of defensives

#

they'll have 1 less go now

indigo forum
#

but fire nerf is still welcome

junior plover
#

Also hitting pala mana efficiency is really nice

#

so they arent best at literally everything

indigo forum
#

ye hpal mana was absurd

junior plover
#

we'll see how much that 30% matters tho

surreal elbow
#

idk what blizzard doesnt understand yet nerf rets nerf fmage burst, nerf warrior utility then add defensive vers benefits to the dual pvp trinket bonus

stray sigil
#

garbage patch notes week after week

indigo forum
#

the sacrifice nerf is actually quite big too

stray sigil
#

it is doomed

junior plover
#

Whats rank 2 sac

#

TRUTH

#

feral will literally go to shitter tier overnight

surreal elbow
#

it prevents people from playing MA shriek trink etc it literally solves all the issues

indigo forum
#

you take 25% less dmg from sac is rank 2 wich wont work with ultimte sac

junior plover
#

Sounds nice

surreal elbow
#

nah i think itll be fine i dont think anyone should be able to almost one bang anyone

junior plover
#

mostly a mana thing too I suppose

#

but stack these mana nerfs

stray sigil
#

mana is not remotely the biggest issue with hpal

vast vapor
#

kinda wish pvp trinkets were mandatory

stray sigil
#

doesnt matter 1 bit

vast vapor
#

like make versa not work at all without equipping 2x pvp trinket

junior plover
#

It's not the biggest issue

#

but it is an issue

surreal elbow
indigo forum
#

it does matter vs dampen comps

junior plover
#

They're slowly removing hpal's strengths patch after patch

stray sigil
#

every comp is a hpal vs hpal

#

it wont matter

vast vapor
#

yeah

junior plover
#

With that logic

#

no nerf would matter

surreal elbow
#

i mean 80% of games

junior plover
#

Shaman is now the most mana efficient healer

vast vapor
#

well if they actually nerfed something it would

#

but they dont

surreal elbow
#

theres min 1 pala

#

whether it be ret or holy

#

its actually ooga booga asf

indigo forum
#

it matters quite a lot in double caster vs melee teams @stray sigil

stray sigil
#

why would it matter there more lol

surreal elbow
#

like i queue into holy ret arms almost every game

indigo forum
#

because casters dampen the game

surreal elbow
#

as jungle i barely meet mirror

#

like tf

#

everyone want that juicy meta piece of shit

junior plover
#

Jungle is 4th most popular spec

#

2400+

stray sigil
#

i havent played a jhungle

#

in a month

junior plover
#

Im just telling you

#

the stats

#

it is the truth

surreal elbow
#

ive seen 4 jungles today compared to the countless rets and holy's ive seen

stray sigil
#

havent seen hunters in a while

vast vapor

want to get boosted as feral or hunter? many choices for comp?

junior plover
#

FMP is as popular as survi jungle

vast vapor
#

u dont think it shows in stats?

indigo forum

hpal and fire mage is all i see

with rets and wars

Cdew says hpal nerfs are gucci

Good nerfs and buffs

where do you play personally

junior plover

Ah

EU

surreal elbow

ye same

i meet jungle like 4 out of 40 ish games

stray sigil

those stats

seem really outdated

slim crater
#

They are new

junior plover
#

Theyre from yesterday

#

or today

slim crater
#

Just biased

junior plover
#

But theyre all season long im pretty sure

#

most games at the start of the season

#

I suppose

slim crater
#

They are from people on /r/worldofpvp uploading their games

junior plover
#

here's the tool

stray sigil
#

oh so its like

#

not relevant

#

if its based on a reddit uploading

#

lol

slim crater
#

It's relevant

vast vapor
#

:DDD

slim crater
#

Just biased

#

Needs more data

surreal elbow
#

its irrelevant

tardy hare
#

@stray sigil

#

leaks

junior plover
#

It's not that reddit people were asked to upload data specifically for this

stray sigil
#

ok ok pogchamp

surreal elbow
#

no one posts vods of them slamming their heads into keyboards as holy ret arms

junior plover
#

the author of this tool

#

does like a thousand tools a week

#

and people donate data to all of them

#

so there shouldnt be a strong bias for anything

#

just small sample size

slim crater
#

The bias is /r/worldofpvp

#

Also the small sample size

vast vapor
#

yes its very biased then because of small sample size

#

two people upload their 300 games tells nothing

junior plover
#

Small sample size does not imply bias

#

but the result is the same

#

doesnt mean much

#

I agree

slim crater
#

I'm responsible for the whole upload of spriest boomkin in 2's

junior plover
#

lol

#

fair enough

#

literally meaningless then

#

I'll upload I hope it updates retroactively

slim crater
#

Just need to take it with a grain of salt

surreal elbow
#

i swear if everyone here does a /reflex rn

#

over half the games

#

are vs atleast 1 paladin or a warrior

vast vapor
#

or fire mage

junior plover

Sometimes yes

vast vapor
#

or half the classes in the game

junior plover

sometimes I get sessions with

3 warriors in 20 games

idk

2s tho

i'd think that'd be much easier vs rogue than feral disc

but we smurf on rogue heal

tardy hare

rogue is kinda free

but i int

so

we lose

mindgames

actually disc does fuck us

Tbh makes sense, I destroyed prot as disc

So many counters

tardy hare

mind games is free win

junior plover

OHH

tardy hare

actually read the notes now and rofled for the mw buff, cant they literally ever adjust anything else but cocoon

tardy hare

no dispell

junior plover

Ye no that makes sense

slim crater

Suprised no ww nerf.

junior plover
#

MW needs bigger changes than they can give in a pvp patch

surreal elbow
#

i mean the game is utter dog water rn

vast vapor
#

I mean it helps but literally the only thing they ever touch is cocoon cd

junior plover
#

They need to give them kick in 9.1

surreal elbow
#

i got one hit by a ret pala earlier

junior plover
#

and more probably

surreal elbow
#

said 17k dps on the metres

#

hmmmmm

junior plover

and they didnt touch rets this week
