i mean ig if u count bs as a big cd
Hello I am new to balance druids and wow in general Icy veins has circle of life and death as the best pvp legendary but looking at players I dont see a lot using it, is there a better option?
Quick question, for beartank Sleeper legend, we want haste/ver?
Anyone done some calcs on the Necrolord changes? Is it enough to consider for more than just Resto?
120% = > 150% of Spellpower damage and increased DoT damage 20% = > 25%
With the Necrolord shield buff
Good enough to consider for Boomy/Feral?
Can't be too bad for consistent damage on Boomy either though can it?
But it is dispellable I'm guessing
I suppose, true.
Ahh.. That's unfortunate.
Either way I do plan to Feral PvP though. You think Kyrian is still the superior choice?
Resto is guaranteed Necro superior though, aye?
I just don't think an alt of mine can get gear enough to make Kyrian worth it
Adaptive Swarm might scale better for lower gear as Feral
Just trying to make a non-Kyrian for once, as all my other leather users are Kyrian due to massive superiority.
Monk, clear Kyrian. Rogue, same thing.
But again every single Feral on the top 500 is Kyrian.
bro wat was that triune legend pre-nerf? i just played a game against a mage and he almost heals more than my healer with the dang barriers
thats an exaggeration but jesus
i think i just haven't played against a mage who knew wat he was doing who used the leggo, cuz i looked the mage up and he's like 3k xp
1 bt bite goodbye shields
IT WASNT ENOUGH
@vestal citrus What do you play?

I basically just want to reach 1800, But I guess Kyrian would be the best even for that rating.

Sorry if this has been asked a bunch but night fae or necrolord for resto and why?
i tried to swap back to night fae from kyrian yesterday, did a long ass quest, and they told me to wait..thought this was a weekly reset thing?
do i have to wait 1 full week to complete?
y'all are so ADHD switching all the time
i really didnt like kyrian lol
bt curio - its hard reset on completion right, not weekly?
he prefers to be called savant if u dont mind
@stray sigil

u rite 900 a bit high for u actually
hes talkinmg about a weekly reset i think
@vestal citrus 
the quest is a weekly reset ig
i did it one time before a tuesday and could do the other part on tuesday
i actually watched pikaboo lose 5 times in a row on stream today while playing w/ a ret paly named "lilbubble" cuz the paly kept instadying without bubbling, even tho he had the prot leggo, at like 1400 rating. then i turned off the stream and said enough of this for today
boosters tho
i mean i feel at 1400 u can 1v2 everygame
Duude I've been stuck there for a while too man... Its rough with all the 210+ ilvl people while im only 227. Fucking sucks everyone is too geared
Watcha guys think about Kyrian vs Night Fae in pvp? I just swapped to Kyrian from Night fae and in my opinion, it feels you have more dmg in the longer run with Kyrian but you can obviously kill high prio targets faster with Night fae if you dont get interrupted or countered that quickly during Convoke as Balance.
legs obviously
How much honor is it to upgrade 1H from 226-233 ? ๐
11.8k
Shit :o 2H must be like 15k lol
Oh ok
jesus its that much?
ayup

@stray sigil @vestal citrus was not a weekly reset for me. I did it yesterday before weekly reset, and the quest has not shown up yet.
unless the second quest is not in the same place as the first?
fuck had to log out - exit - exit to get the quest..reload or alt f4 didnt work
if anyone asks again
the cov change quest
yeah it is on reset - but you have to log out to get it
NF 2 tanky. kyrian paper
Yes there is a macro
But up to you whether you wanna bother
I don't really use it
#showtooltip
/cleartarget
/targetenemyplayer
/cast [harm, nodead] Rake
/stopattack
This is what I use
snupy a fucking clown confirmed
did u see that in the snupy discord or wahtever?
ya, there was acutally a dumbass argument about it in the feral chat. I was upholding wat u good men have taught me, and he comes at us w/ that screenshot. I said i don't care snupy says about weapon damage he doesn't know tf he's talkinga bout
Yep cock
Snupy is good but he was running dreamweaver until last week
Didn't even try Niya once
Great player but doesn't put too much thought into the theory crafting part of the game
thats what im doing rigfht now!!!!
We're going to the moon
now ur just dropping f acts



Is Main stat on weapon important? I have sinful gladiator's sacrificial dagger?
Which weapon enchant do you guys use as feral?
But i have enough to buy full gladiators gear if i use it? should i wait for 2H?
I play resto
i use sinful revelation
I will drop it in resto chatt
guys i havent played shadowlands yet
but can you tell me
how does guardian druid tankiness in pvp compare to Legion
are bears in shadowlands sturdier/more durable or squishier?
i remember end of Legion they made tanks take 50% extra damage up from 40%
what's the name of that ability
i think its soulbind
that grants you stacks and each stack gives max hp % bonus
stacks up to like 15-17
seems op for bears no?
aye
None of that here
Duplicates
NO LAUGHING
hi guys! Astral dmg is arcane or nature dmg too? or eclipse dont work with astral dmg?
Try being more original
give me more laughing emotes
ok, so eclipse sinergys with astral spells
ok thanks
i saw many rbg druids pushing maestry > haste
I'll think about it

so, i know now
I just have mastery cause im feral
do you think maestry is better than haste then?
I don't know and don't really care
We need a laughing cat emote
I just walk into the bg

its this?
Idk man
Why are people so afraid to give someone a chance in RBG, i even got decent gear and probably better class knowledge than half of them ๐
yep, but with 30% versa, ppl try to scale first another stats
It's not clear enough that it's laughing

I feel like it's tilt or anger
Helplessness
wait, this whole time u saw that emote as laughing lakerz? i see it as screaming / biting
ohh, thanks
Cursed
U guys r frying me
its literally called savage roar
I usually run a mostly premade rbg group at 2500cr and 90%of the time when we pick up a few players we don't perform aswell.
Always open to suggestions, shoot me a DM. Personally I like to have some originality, there are definitely some exceptions though.
When people play for rewards, rather than for fun, they will minmax as to not waste time. It's just how the game is designed and it's not really the players fault
Its fine we play for rewards but half the team is a ๐
1400 exp in arena is enough to get 2.4 in rbgs

Most players are simply idiots
Is there really no trashcan emote wtf
Was looking for a bear pvp/rbg guide but couldn't find 1 any 1 got a link?
๐ฅซ
how to play guardian druid base defend
i couldnt too
See you in 12 minutes
Got anything for flag running? Btw I've never played druid before and want to give it a go
SLEPer leggo
try to avoid the enemy rogue, best in stealth

i love it when i play my pala
and I say im using sac on the FC
and they pop pain sup on it too

guys, in PVP boat leggo is better on leg or feet ?
id say yeah
fair enough 
i have some clips i recorded for other people as examples of how we communicate/kite etc i can send over
machtig already linked that

smh
wasnbt that just a video of him sitting prowl in a base for 10+mins


Hey guys
Balance pvp 3vs3 pvp talents
Against 2 melee I take thorns
Against 2 mages what should I take
High winds?
Maybe not because I mainly clone healer
Specially after root beam combo
What should I take ?
maybe the one that buffs your regrowth when you offheal others
But as balance you wanna keep damage on them
Keep pressure
Off heal wouldn't have much impact
I'm 1626 CR on 3vs3 27-13
so when ur teammate needs to be healed and is dying u just throw dots on em?
if u wanna be a dot king go that dying stars thing there u go
Dying stars ? Hmmm isn't that the one that gives you astral power is moonfire and sunfire are dispelled?
yeah
Oh right yeah maybe
naw thats not good outside of BGs
I was thinking that ๐ค
For melee I'm ok
Bear form skin and thorns
They killing themselves
Is against casters idk what to takr
Take*
Maybe moon and sun
Or wtv it is when u enter eclipse you have less chances of being silenced
That with aura mastery should be OK
what buttons do i press during zerk
just mash shred?
should i overcap for 5 point bite?
It's pretty bad but with symmetry it actually gives you a brutal go
@tardy hare ur doing it wrong actually
should be sitting ON the flag
if rogue RNG saps you in this video
he can force trinket
and then either reset cap on you
or hold his blind for incarn down
if you sit directly on the flag it doesn't matter if he saps you
@pallid coral maybe I'm misunderstanding, but if you sit ON flag, rogue saps you can caps
if you trinkets, he blinds and caps, and there's nothing you can do about it.
pretty sure thats why you actually never sit on flag when holding a point.
no
because you're playing guardian druid
and you have brambles
so being sapped doesn't matter
you can press barkskin while sapped
so if you're sitting on the flag
rogue can't sap cap on you
because you just wait until into the cast
and press barkskin
if you do what machtig does in his video
then rogue can rng sap you
and bomb the flag
and then you either lose the cap
or have to trinket
brambles breaks capping flag?
yes
thats ridiculous
So where the fuck is your help after 30 fucking seconds?
sure
but in practise what he's gonna do
is he's going to vanish
when you incarn
and then you either need to double defend for the full 2minutes
which if you haven't allready won the TF
can be monka
or you lose the base
You can still spin for 20 seconds before needing ot use incarn tho
You let 5 seconds pass before you barkskin, then that lasts 12s, then you can take another 5 seconds after to trinket thrash
22 seconds
ok
if you're sitting on the flag
yes
that's what i'm saying you should be doing
Question for pvp boomkin : should i wait for torghast rotation to craft Balance of all things or craft Primordial Arcanic Pulsar right away ?
i watched the first like 30 seconds
saw he was doing it wrong
you can just open the video and see he's standing away from the flag
You're lying you sat thru the entire video
Ok yeah
I cba watching that
then it's impossible to lose it ever
He uses elvui I'd never open a video
Yeah
If you're bear sitting on top of flag is bis
But honestly I'd rather just sit as boomie
Sit in africa, fury of elune + treants
take boat from twisting corridors (also pulsar is for m+)
Unkillable with barkskin leggo
I played some rbgs with old friends last night
I dont think anyone actually runs pulsar in m+
rank 1 nw does ๐
just roleplaying as a rogue
Also timeworn dreambinder is arguably the best pvp legendary (not very arguable tbh BOAT is just nice as night fae) @rigid edge
I joined this group with some 2.4+ players on alts
Lead couldnt make up his mind on who he wanted to sit LH before gates opened

Even tho I directly offered
tragedy
But whatever I went teamfight
I was first to die in teamfight cuz cavoke
Attracts everyone
Lead himself had sat LH as ww
Lost the base in the first 30s of game
rofl
So I stop following his calls
@junior plover did u play with jelly or something
I spam hit mines and ww all game
Drag 3+ helpers everywhere I go
Living thru everything with barkskin leggo and renewal
Eventually I cap ww from the dh solo sitting
Then I run to mines and cap it too with help from a paladin
lmao
I nearly solo 3 capped them and won the game when we were down 1200 to 500
bear is actually pretty filth capping flag
And this fucking ww lead
if anyone goofs and goes near flag
Is fucking talking shit to me cuz I didnt listen to his shit calls
you can just roar clone cap

get trinket
Boomie ofc I'm not a savage
and then either bash take or warstomp take or root take
i just lose base and willy comes back to take it
i say
my b
never gonna lose it again
Does willy play surv in rbg?

Dreambinder legendary is BiS for kyrian boomkins and boat legy is BiS for n8fae right?
Ofc he does

Kinda? Not really, but sure.
were making him go orc
Read pins
one step at a time

i fear hed play bm before hed ever play mm
What is he rn?

is it better to take a vers piece over 5-10 ilvls?
when you are boomie vs warrior hpal - do you still go celestial guardian?
in 2s? no u just lose lmao
real answer though not sure what else you'd take, moonkin aura/celestial/thorns against arms prob, moonkin disarm is not great against hpal too many outs
the best recommendation is come to the dark side and play feral in 2s moonkin is annoying at best for 2s imo
Generally not
in arenas, still the case?
True but warr Hpal is like the worst feral matchup there is
was deciding if i should replace 213 legs for 200 vers/haste as balance
ok
@junior plover kyrian warriors feel pretty easy, venthyr is a free trip back to queue with less rating tho
why does EOTS always feel like we're bashing our heads against the wall?
its the only BG that feels like that lol
Idk even Kyrian warriors felt almost impossible for disc feral where if they don't make a huge mistake it's generally unwinnable
Holy feral feels a lot better tho
Holy priest*
i play with an hpal, it would be a lot harder w/ priest i think
One day Iโll sit down and actually learn how to feral
Yeah Hpal must be different
i only play at like 2100 MMR in 2s as well so the warriors are probably awful
Priest just ooms or we die to dampen before we get through all the defensives
Funnily enough I think Rdruid Arms is the biggest pain in the ass for us now
rdruid is actually broken in 2s i dont care what anybody says
they're as good as they always have been except they now have a huge one pop heal with natures swiftness
I think its just really good into feral
if i played a fire mage id probably love facing them but if you dont one shot the enemy competesh feral aff rdruids just own the game
But idk it might be really good in 2s
its not that hard.. im a boomkin main but play feral in 2s you can learn it quick
just learn the giga opener and keep bleeds up.. run away and peel in between tigers fury/feral frenzy
the first time you actually bring a rogue back out of stealth cause u have bleeds on youll never go back to moonkin in 2s
You'd need to have all TF bleeds on
For that
If even
I don't think it's ever happened to me
happens to me all the time, but rogues could just be slow to reopen
Bleeding them for 20% max life is hooge
Ya Iโm gonna sit down this tier and learn it. Correct me if Iโm wrong but feral really bite centric now anyway right? Not really the multi rot with bleeds and all that
Yep
yeah its all bites all the time
Bleeds are mostly for bite damage
2.5-3% for each bleed
So the goal is to keep dots up in a way so that you're full cp and high energy when you're ready to go
Kinda telegraphs who the kill target is but that's how it is
biggest benefit to feral is how much easier RM is to fight
i feel like i have to misplay to lose it, unlike boomkin where it felt unwinnable
I dont have a healbuddy at the moment so i play 2s with ret\frost dk as boomie. I hate rm at this point...
nothing is playable at 190ilvl
Even for questing shit zzz af
wtf guys
if i kill a rogue in shadowy duel
and he got pod ...i cant attack pod
did you know?
Man im afk
He'd get the flag if he just capped it

Also can just soulshape thrash
Or something
You perhaps
They'll never find me
I havent been found by rog un stealth for years anyway
Do people actually even search?
yeah

most rogues do
Enemy boomy can incap roar clone you
If you on flag
Dumb tactic
I'd get ur trinket insta as boom or feral

cringe
how is it cringe, more like alpha male
this was. i love copypasta
both apes
im gonna ook you in the dooker
thank you for your reply- and fuck feral lol
why it owns

Doesnt feel too bad at 224
I only really wait for 50 energy bites
Wish I could have big bites and tigers fury make pve a breeze ๐โโ๏ธ
then what
rogue dr blinds you? pog
if i trinket incap/clone on flag and clone is about to be off dr again i know rogue isnt there so i just line and hit with moonfire or incarn if im not sure
theres less risk in that then getting sapped away from flag
can you see flag cap swirl while duel'd
Do you guys think its bad idea to put a noform:4 macro on each of my boomy spells?
Does anyone know where I could watch some FLP gameplay
no but you can aoe it
so you have to assume someone's on it and cast, ok
Is feral / hpally a good 2v2 comp?
statistically its one of the most played 2v2 comps over 2200-2400 that include a druid so it is perfectly solid
i think resto druid/arms and disc priest/feral are more popular but hpal/feral works just great as well
sweet, ty!
if it makes you feel better thats the 2s comp i play and i enjoy it a lot but i dont play that far over 2000 MMR in 2s
@junior plover Zev said he'd stream some next time he played it
He better do 
PvP is so miserable on alts
well, yes and no. If you ignore the mmr and rating, its nice
either a contest of who can set up his spagetthi swings the best or you trying to outplay people with enormous gear advantage, but with the IQ of an ill dog
It's just miserable on any char that's behind on gear. I don't enjoy it and miss BfA
Big facts
Actually feels pretty good beating tyat 2400 rbg hero at 1600 cr on a 205 alt
BFA was the exact same thing
Except you could pve to gear faster
If you only do pvp you were more behind in bfa than you are now
Yeah but the borrowed power systems were way more impactful and time consuming
i think they removed pvp scaling to stop rextroy from making videos
Before they added vendor essence
you know the only thing i miss from bfa?
cycloblast on my resto druid
or whatever the mechagon trinket was called
guys can someone help me with stats
kinda miss claw tho that was fun
the first week of blast was broken as fuck yeah, but after that it was nice. actually gave me a nice kill potential as a healer
imagine claw now with an affli lock
UA mindgames claw
of course you played with a destro
I mean they could just make more interesting pvp trinkets too
Like a versa trink that does dmg on use
Or something
at least i wasnt playing mw or hpala lol
Pvp gear doesnt have to be boring
i want a pvp trinket on the same mindset as Bel. I'd take a 3 min cd on use that gives massive mastery+vers for 5 sec
They did add new trinkets every season of BFA at least
I'm just one of those that believes gear should barely matter in pvp
they should bring back maledict ๐
YEAH I BET YOU WOULD
hehehehehe
Like I want fresh chars to have a shot especially if the goal is for pvp gearing to be enjoyable
It's not right now
bell is 1min 30 for 9 sec of 670 mastery. so if you put that 3min cd, you could make it 1340 mastery. hmmm. then you make it last 4,5s instead of 9 and you double it again to 2680 mastery for 4,5s on a 3 min cd. Yeahhhh, i'll take that
wish they would bring bcak the shield trinket tho
BaLaNcEd
there is an on-use vers trinket isn't there?
not a pvp one
You cant put enchantments/gems on gear in arena anymore 
What is the preferred feral legendary for pvp? Apex predator?
Symmetry
symmetry + berserk = bites for days
scaling was removed cause people cried they could dominate poor alts in pvp
makes for a real shit new player experience though
No, it's all about epeen and knowing your opponent has 0 chance
my disc priest dies to a single rapid fire even with pain supp up lol
Tried queueing some 3s with a buddy on a warlock alt
195 ilvl or w/e
dies to a rogue through defensive from 100-0

When you have shit gear, just queue up a little bit and your mmr will go down to match your lvl. you'll stop dying instantly after 2-3 games
even low MMR has a ton of super geared people
Yeah, no
Sometimes you gotta trade more than just wall
There are 210 people under 1200
195 is nothing tho atm
yes, but super geared people at 800 mmr play with their feet
cause they use a bracket to farm conquest
Yeah its nothing but you gotta be 1400 to get more
thats the issue people have
ofc its nothing
but its literally impossible for them to get any better gear
everyone gets their rating in rbgs and just farms 2s
head or hands to craft symmetry on?
unless theyre super good
If you canโt get 1400 in that gear itโs a player issue

of course it's a player issue, they're new to the game
When they just have to learn lol
Idk he's 2700xp and 2.2k on his monk
I think he should be able to play 1400 mmr 3s

it's not fun to learn when getting destroyed by geared people
No, it's not learning to suffer
game after game after game after game
after game
losing enough will put you at an mmr where you can win
if you always only lose, then you are just the worst player in the game and it cannot match you with anyone worse or equal
If you're spam losing at 207 ilvl at 1400 rating you're not losing because of gear tho
You feel?
Like
It's just a copout
^
it's not just gear but gear is a factor
I generally agree
but we played like 15 games
not a single guy on 1400 mmr
was under 34k life
Of course gear is a factor, i queued on my ret alt at 160 ilvl and was at 800 mmr, when my main is 2.2
Thatโs an anomaly then
I hit 1600 on my 195 destro lock in one session in 2s
you have like 30% less damage than your opponents
u must not have played me cause i was playing at 1400 MMR yesterday on my 165 warrior
but you have to accept your mmr being shit while you gear
it's just painful af
Because Iโve played at lower mmr on my alts and faced ppl with gear at 30k or less
my guild has 226 ilevel people at 1200
But again
gear to where
with sub 1400 you can still get 200 in all slots
being bad at pvp doesn't mean you can't get gear
from conquest
and then, at 200 ilvl, you can get 1600
to people palying 1400
How do you learn to get to 1400 though?
im 1400 at 190 on my shit alt that i cant play
Just be like everyone else and just buy a carry
Yeah but you can play the game
CLEARLY spending that gold to just be able to play is correct
Iโm surprised the mindset lol. I never complained about gear when I was new to PvP as just grinded
hardstuck 1400 players will never admit its their fault
Yeah I bet those 7 more ilvls will get you to the rightful place you belong
The only sympathy I have is for people who have to spam lfg al the time and donโt have any friends
well, when you are bad and cant play, you cant get the best gear, i mean, that sounds pretty logic. They'll have the same issue tryna go do +15 with thei shit toon
Fucking madness bro it's madnesssss
See I don't think gear is stopping good players from getting decent rating
even tho the warlock at 195 does literally nothing
People lack fundamentals bro
not enough haste
I do think there shouldnโt be scaling ilvl I liked WoD and before
@pallid vessel but we're talking about people who are 220+ ilvl at 1400 themselves you know?
how do they get good gear from bad play?
Me and my hpal buddy, 197 ilvl... destro / hpal to 1600 no prob
No fucking shit they can't get to 1.4 on their undergeared alts
he does NOTHING at 1.4k 195ilvl
Can barely get there on main at 220
even with completely even scaling bad players still wouldn't get rating
if 160 ilvl noob can get 1400, anyone with normal gear will have 2400
Its probably just a destro quirk
@junior plover warlock requires a lot of kiting
but still crazy to me
Especially aff
my ret is 198 ilvl now, i crit for at most 8k
That's cap my necro alt got 1.6 in like 60 games in sub 190 ilvl
You canโt face tank stuff and have to cycle kicks as destro too
Yeah I think it's a destro thing
he doesnt have enough stats to stay alive and he literally cant move
unlike a feral
so he cant kite
But u can get 1.4 as destro in that gear tho
people just like being able to out-gear other players
I mean yeah u definitely can
Regardless, I see myself only pvp'ing on my best geared main that I play first week of the season, alts just get relegated to pve
and we will
but this guy played destro to a high rating before and played to a high rating on monk this season
and I shit you not
I do 4-5x his damage
Destro is dope dude, there are a lot of people who struggle setting up kills
Well being a caster is a lot diff than melee
its normal to outdps someone undergeared
Yes
Of course people like to out gear and stomp on others, it strokes their epeen. Doesn't mean it's good for the game
Bro pls stop saying that shit lmao

is there a way to use clique with bge or gladius?
I get him being half as effective as me or smth
You're in no position to talk about fully geared players at 1400 bracket
Everyday I stay in this channel, I stray further from god
NO POSITION
If Shadowlands had BfA gearing, people would be calling this the worst pvp season ever.
Maybe he doesnโt know how to play destro or doesnโt know mechanics as well because he cheesed ww?
even if i perma ccd the other guy
Plus playing caster if just diff
shadowlands pvp is only better than bfa because azerite traits no longer exist
and not geared people
why am I not?
High rated only players ok (1600)
and covenant stuff is only slightly better than azerite in pvp
I don't wanna bring it up just pls have some self awareness bro
anyone know if there is a way to use clique with bge or gladius?
What is clique?
an addon
You need those bad players to be interested or you go back to arena dying again like it was.
That does what?
arena has never been alive in the first place
Also this
arena is popular now because all the raiders need to do it for gear
There is a little bit of a boosting problem, for sure. And some specs just straight up counter others especially if there is a gear gap. 2100 players in rbg, hard stuck in 1400
Arena has been really popular this xpac lol
Arena was dying because you were forced to pve for gear, as pvp regardless of your rating didn't give you anything better than normal raid ilvl until 3 months into the season.
without the pvp gear vendor it would just be dead again
Trying to play with my friends at low rating, it can be hard
Arena is popular purely cause you can buy a boost and gear instantly.
BOOSTERS GODDAM BOOSTERS
Not cause the gameplay is actually fun
blizz cannot balance arena to give gear to bad players playing badly, otherwise you take away the meaning of being good at the game for getting good gear
bad players playing badly will never get good gear
Except there are bad players with good gear from boosts, rbg, and pve
Thatโs a big reach lol
WOD gearing was so much simpler
Fuck it Iโm outta here. Lol
u can literally just spam queue right now and get full 200 ilvl everywhere
it lets you bind keys to cast @atomic patroloverui on your unitframes
you'll win half your games spamming enough
Yeah but then you got a 1-9 win loss ratio and no one is queuing with you for actual games lol
You can win a lot of gear at low mmr with 194
Lol some of you need to get good. You used to hand outs
Play 5000 games at 51% win rate, youโll get up there. Look at supatease
so if i want to cast cyclone at someone i would like to be able to hover over their unit frame and hit M4
pvp doesn't need handouts
And youโll get better for sure
just need gear to not matter
you guys seem to not understand how mmr and queuing works.
You can make a mouseover macro for that, I don't think clique works with arena/bg addons
@heavy cairn speaking Truth
yeah that swhat i have resorted to, just not ideal for my playstyle and what im used to is all
If you have someone who's natural skill is around 1600, they'll still lose to someone who's natural skill level is 1300 and has double the hp
yeah, how do i improved. thats a good mindset. it took me 150 fucking games on my pally alt to realize i had auras
then i improved a tiny bit
If you have 20k hp you're in literal BFA gear tho @thorny venture

since i have other binds on those keys and jsut want to use the easy to hit buttons with the ui mouseover
You're just making complete non-points bro
casual players do start in literal bfa gear though
Just donโt focus on gear too much focus on gameplay lol
All to justify that you don't like pvping and are completely unwilling to recognize that the answer is just improving your play
Your gear will naturally improve, and your mmr will follow
Really not much more to it
just queue up
Nailed it
sometimes the gameplay is "wow that rogue just killed me in his cheapshot"
Because even if you do have gear youโll lose at 1400 mmr cuz u donโt know how to play the game
i was 800 mmr on my pally. at 160 ilvl, magically, im up at 199 ilvl because i bought conq gear and my mmr somehow jumped to 1400
i wonder what witchcraft made that
just play
the game
and you will have rewards
no the game sucks
You can get 197 armor + 187 weapon from just doing the covenant campaign, a 210 legendary after 1 reset, and pvp jewelry that have 140 vers each item for just doing your weekly pvp quests.
well, if you dont like the game, you can just fuck off then cant ya
I enjoy pvp when you have a chance no matter your gear. Give me sl gearing and bfa scaling and I'd be playing pvp non stop
@blissful belfry 1400 player on 220 ilvl main is SHOCKED and DISGUSTED that they can't get past that on a 200 ilvl alt.
I haven't bothered with 2s cause I don't need to from rbgs as balance
honestly the fact that people didn't like legion scaling just shows what the players actually think about pvp
My head hurts
Or if I do play arenas is just go get honor for the weekly cache and I don't care
They should make it so gear doesnt matter in m+ no reason geared players are allowed to time +20 keys and i cant do it because my gear is bad and im new
m+ isn't a pvp mode, the only way to scale pve difficulty is by scaling numbers
You can find a level you can win in pve. PvP as fresh chars means losing over and over
its the exact same thing, the higher you go, the harder it is and the more gear matter
Well you can also find a level you will win in pvp
but thats not high enough rating
to get any gear
thats high enough rating to get 200 in all slots
and 200 in all slots is also m0 gear lvl
+7
but gear shouldn't matter, it's pvp. The only thing that should matter is that you are the better player
and/or blizzard likes your class more
M0 is 184
well, even better then
you can get up to m7 gear by being shit at the game and just queuing
But I'm miserable doing that so I'll just go do something else
I want it to be fun to gear up in PvP
If you dont have fun playing arena
Fun means 50% chance to win to me
Then it'll never be fun to gear in pvp
You will lose as many games at high gear than at low gear mate. You will just queue against better player
you'll still lose
You lose so much more sub 200 ilvl
i have what, 55% winrate in arena on my 2.2k main? i have about the same on my 1,4k alt
your mmr will make you win +/- 50%
you just need to lose the first 4-5 games max to have an adequate mmr
when you are a frsh toon
also playing resto feels like ass
yeah, just verified, 54% winrate on my geared main, 53% winrate on my undergeared alt
2.2 vs 1.4
Has anyone made a video of say rdruid at 160 ilvl how many games it took them to get to conquest cap and the win rate
you dont lose more when you have bad gear, your mmr is just lower
god help anyone that tries resto at 160 ilevel
true
go into bear form and die to 3 condemns anyway
I just need to slam those games though
low mmr and low gear i advise double dps
God help anyone that's so dishonest as to argue about a situation that simply doesn't exist
double dps 2s is much better than heal dps
Well you could do campaign and get 197 thatโs far better base then 160
yeah but the campaign is boring af and i just wanted to pvp
healer dps in low gear you cant kill anything and games are super long. much more efficient to spam double dps and get fast win / fast lose
I remember having a blast hitting level cap on disc priest in 8.0 and instantly starting PvP and getting to 1400
If I had 160 Iโd either do campaign or do rbgs
how would you do RBGs
You can get to 30k hp in your first day at max lvl right now
you somehow got someone to invite you to a RBG group at 160 ilevel?
i jumped straight in 2s and 3s on my alt 160 because i wanted to improve
im still bad
but less
160 is a big diff than 197 tho
and i got gear with time
Except most covenant gear has 0 vers
vers matters so much less than what people think
On my druid I had half cov gear half PvP gear
especially at low mmr
^
i got 2.1 with 4% vers
I agree, but people want that 25% vers for those 1400 rbgs haha
literally 4% vers cuz of pve
You either make a yolo group
Or join one if ur gear sucks
And just grind lol
Rbgs are easy especially if u can just play objectives
That's fine if the grind is fun. My argument is that it currently is not fun for alts
The catchup for conquest is not good
But I think gearing is fine
It could be a bit better
doing games on an alt is as fun as it is doing them on my main (well, less sfun because i prefer boomy over ret, but thats off the topic)
I personally am indifferent of scaling conquest ilvl gear but would prefer one item lvl so itโs only about skill
But idc either way
I like gear rewards and progression, but I also want fresh chars to have a chance and not just be fodder.
The original statement was guy struggling at 194 ilvl as a destro trying to get 1400
Fresh chars are fresh
Itโs an mmorpg
it's barely a MMORPG at this point
Thatโs beside the point itโs how wow has been forever
Youโd get slammed in tbc-now as a fresh vs geared
That's why I'm fine with gear rewards and I'm glad they're back.
Itโs just how it is
depends on when in BFA, actually
early BFA level 10s were destroying level 120s
was some real shit
Well thatโs an anomaly not Max lvl vs Max lvl
I did the same in 8.3. made a fresh holy paladin, got my assault armor blues and started queueing. Got to 1400, hit 1800 at some point before I finished KSM
BFA was so fucked up you never wanted max ilevel iirc
you wanted greens with gem slots to cheese the stat scaling
Did You play BFA lol?
yeah
That's cap lol
Not true at all
It wasnt true at all
first it was azerite scaling, then it was shitty ilevel stuff, then it was tank trinkets
hi el patron
Welcome
Did you read it all, it makes for a good read to pass time at work
@lime light I want haste vers as arms warr right?
dont go to the dark side
People can be allowed to want different things from the game. It's up to blizzard to figure out which solution makes the largest number of people happy. If they see participation in pvp on alts is down perhaps they'll do something
well their metrics told them participation is up because gear vendor, so we're getting a pve gear vendor finally
Or if it's too many high skilled people tanking mmr on purpose to carry
dunno how they missed that in the first place, but small indie company and all
points, tokens, roughly the same thing. An actual bad-luck protection system
Imagine if we went back to pvp gear randomly dropping from wins in arena and you needed conquest to upgrade them
That's the new valor
no
I don't want to go back to that. That's what I'm saying the valor system is
im saying no as in, no its not that. Valor system still allows for a lot more targetting than what you compared
If i want X piece i can jsut spam that specific dungeon til it drops. i can even have friends come in to help trade it
you can already do that though
Yes, but getting the item in dungeon is much more grindable than hoping for a specific random piece out of a pvp win
so it isnt really the same thing
Close enough
depends on the point of view i guess. But its a pointless argument anyway
either way the issue is still you getting fucked by RNG
i would've preferred the actual valor/frost system from wotlk but it doesn't really work with modern wow gearing
valor system will be fine enough the way they made it. Making you be able to target the gear even more is almost pointless. by the time you gather your valor points, you'll have the pieces you want to up anyway
guys what legendary for balance should i use, I am using Dreambinder and having great results but I want to try something else (trying to avoid boat)
its boat or dreambinder
bro this server is down bad when im afk
dont try something else just cuz
praise
