Lol
not in retail
Ahh, but I was asking about wotlk/tbc, sorry for not specifying
Hmm alright. I was just wondering if it's possible to shield bash in battle stance without having to go berserker for pummel
If there's GCD, that would be an issue ofc
bois, we're back
Wrong channel. All classic stuff is wotlk-discussion
been tryin to get into solos, but holy shit queues are so long
game is dead unfortunately
any benefit to fury over arms with warr dh 3s?
congrats!!!!!
wtf just did a solo shuffle and said i got 500 rating, out of game and it didnt give to me xd
jk didnt realize rating was spec specific sadge
guess i wont be switching between fury and arms lol
what happened to overwatch
Elaborate
there was a talent called overwatch in shadowlands did they remove it
ig it was p busted
sadge
what was overwatch?
intervening someone gave them spell reflect
how do ya get the pvp tier that scales to 424? catalyst conq gear?
& do the pvp tier ones have same exact stats as non pvp ones, just deciding which 4 to rock
Overwatch should’ve stayed, they took it away cause RMP players cried about it
actually it might've been shadow priests or like lone casters
cos it was another stop or something
but they kept reflect leggo hm
and hunters
it was only really "OP" because we could pair it with mirror and reflect too much, but overwatch on its own was fine
?
trap
i remember games poly and trap
only time i have seen snper shot in arena
was played by that greasy dualboxing mm guy who afks if he doesn't 1-bang in opener
Reflecting a trap while hunter is camouflaged
#feelsgoodman
ya always do that in skirms
hunter's gotta be certifiably retarded to let that happen in real games tho
they just yeet traps around
which most bms are
real and true
3250mmr on this warrior now 
id be 4k cr if it werent for elo hell
w/ the onslaught hybrid fury build, whats general abil prio rn?
raging blow to do dmg
bt to heal
press onslaught rampage on cd
whenever you can press execute you press it
pre much that ^ ramp > os > exe > rb > bt
w/ tier set you have zero downtime
during enraged regen you can just spam bt
Grats that's like 6k mmr na
BRUUUUUUUH
literally getting trolled
mage doesnt use iceblock unless on enemy team
on my team doesnt use it
just dies
surv hunter not following strat on my team
L(
😦
teammates just flopping
while i constantly peel
-_-
dope k this is waht I was looking for, wasnt sure if RB>ramp even if enraged or not since RA
Not in PvP
love to hear it
now I just gotta actually get into solo shuffles to hit 1.8 lol
havent lost yet... but getting in is the harder part
also, should I buy wep before anything else? guessing yes, only have 415s rn
I'd be intergalactic r0.01 gigagladiator
of hell
does arms have a haste softcap?
no
Nah pretty much everything scales infinitely now
is that cdew haha
idk
maybe
was wondering the same thing tbh
@mild thunder what do you think about dropping warpaint
sounds very bad 
mages aint busted tho 😠
do mages cast flurry after spike?
that one didn't need to 
idk how it works, flurry is supposed to boost damage like 40%
so if that mage used flurry, he would have done 250k+ dmg?
300k+
yeah i dont have flurry damage before that
is 5% dmg reduction really gonna save you tho?
if you wanna drop it, drop it
Poor mw went 0/6
He was trying to fistweave and got 1 shotted in the opener every round
Spike will freeze the target, so you spike then icelance
Should go flurry-spike-icelance
You talking about “Worldsfastestoneshots” ?
arms is op in pvp right?
Yes
thought so, execute crits are just juicy af
No, Arms needs buffs actually
Won’t be OP unless we get MoP second wind and overwatch back
yeah but if u have a good healer
and you don't go against a hunter (i hate hunters) you can win :D
the only time i hate vs ranged is if im the only melee in the match
agreed
i went 2 games in a row with prot pally on both teams which is bullshit
as arms got no heals and got targeted always :P
just looked up MoP second wind... holy shit
it felt nice 😄
Why does the current version of Second wind still exist anyway... it's a waste of space on the talent tree
In some forms of pve combat, its the most OP defensive in the game
Yeah it’s good in PvE, which is what everything kind of revolves around tbh
So the bloodbath build seems to have the best synergy with the fury 4 set
onslaught build incorporates it better imo
Didn’t I get yelled like 2 weeks ago for saying the onslaught build was good ? 🤪
I play both, both feel alright to me. Onslaught better for KOing someone in the opener. I think I need more mastery to really take advantage of it. I’m in Arms haste/crit gear with only. A couple mastery items
idk i just dont see any real point to the anni build anymore
os build is higher damage and maintains all the same defensives
another shit ss and lost a bunch of ranks, deleting the character for good but before that!!! I'll post the recording. From 1790 to 1300ish. lol I suck so bad.
I really struggle to understand why i suck so bad
I am, my mental health depends on it
pvp is ruining my life
I am so bad at it I hate myself
lol
there you go
feral warr any good rn?
that doesn't mention being a complete idiot and dumb person in real life tho lol stupid AI
do I need remind you of my 1750 -> 1190 run
no
where dis
I went from 1745 to 1220
chatGPT 
I had a similar thing y-day, although at measly 1.8-1.9mmr. Mage on my team gets bursted down in the opener, by another arms warrior spinning on him, TWICE, while on enemy team he actually blinks away and presses buttons
It's almost as if they do good one round, then completely relax and forget how to play the next one, only to be reminded to stay focused 😄 But they're on the opposing team then
link? ❤️
it's an AI, not a wow site
and how do u get the AI
ChatGPT is a bunch of liberal BS
just google chatGPT, it's an open-source AI

Censors Maga patriots
on the one hand im sure you're trolling... on the other hand, i have a very low opinion of americans
Me too and I’m American
I’ve been to Darwin and Townsville Australia felt like Texas
Darwin and Townsville are both hick towns, that's why
and now I went 5-1, wtf I cant explain my inconsisten gameplay
Sometimes you just get a bad lobby
Or you do some misplays
Then a really good one, also ur mmr is going down so you’re playing with worse players
The best kind, full of people who work for a living!

this may be my favorite gif to date
Cringe to live in Sidney, work as a UEx developer( or some other made up tech job)
Have green hair and pronouns in ur bio
Flurry or ice nova so it crits ye
hows the push today

I'm posting 2 videos on the review channel, one is me sucking dicks as I usually do and enjoy, the other one is a lucky moment when i win. Any feedback appreciated
ye
alot of things r cringe
seems like a ok lobby for warrior lol
only prob could be lock cuz they r annoying at times
yeah, for warrior who know how to play lol
also I am having several ui issues lately, not only in arenas. Had to reload at the beginnignn of a round
ill take a look at it sometime soon
Played some 3s with the team yesterday and climbed 150 points in an evening. I like it much more and losing is not frustrating
Should first conq item be weapon? Atm have my tier pieces all 418+ from pve, and everything else is honor gear lmao
Playing fury not arms, if that makes wep worth less. Both weps 415 atm
thanks!!! appreciate it a lot
no worries
Definitely yes
Weapon then tier
im sure ur doing fine
i rly think warr in ss is lobby dependent so
I mean triple caster sucks but at 1.5k nobody really does anything.
ya
Just did placement on alt warr with no gear and I'd do like the damage of everybody else combined.
fr
highly
i avoid queueing at certain times
the hardest matchup is into melee caster
ye
Can you send honor to alts now?
Only if your box rolls the BoA item
Ah
is there any point in wow where you could play 2 healers in 3's?
like xpac season or whatever
I remember this being a thing back in BC. Warrior/hpala/rshaman for windfury totem and purge or something like hpala + disc for dispels and mana burn.
yeah
this destro lock was telling me he got 2800 in wotlk playing double healer
i think hes lying
in wrath?
Yeah.
I can't remember if it was a thing in WOTLK, but meta for sure wasn't as figured out as it is these days. Dampening didn't exist at the time and a lot of matches went down to mana which made double healer outlast strategies a thing.
does check pvp show xp even from back then?
Kind of? You can see a 2700 3v3 from wotlk.
But anybody pulling their wotlk exp is washed as shit.
Like even if somebody did manage whatever rating at whatever point in time
it often doesn't matter in the present
people will legit use their exp from a decade ago on another class
yall find 2s or 3s faster conq? mainly liking SS, but need more conq gear so gonna farm arenas lol
whichever u have the partners for
i dont understand the logic behind that design
you still won games at 2-4
3s by a long mile. Also good for farming vicious saddles
Do tell
3s is faster
2s is harder to win if you’re not playing a meta 2s comp and when you do win, the conq is pathetic. Also when you get too high in mmr the games start to take too long
Gz
😄
Yes iknow its stupid. You sit 20mins q and might end up with no conquest at all
Sick mate
😄
gz
haste or crit for spear build? gonna be doing more 3s than shuffle
Is there any discord for finding rbgs I hate the stupid in game one
Anyone duels alot here ?
What tierslots do i need for pvp ?
GRATZ!!!!!
Non-head (that's the craft)
That griefgod guy is such a cunt
Decided to throw my games on my alt warr when I had him
Dude has like 4K shuffle matches played
Why would any person subject themselves to this
Retarded
thanks man
😄
bro
i had to hype him up to get a win out of him
i told him lets put in that effort
ended up winning
was nice
i wonder how many reports that mw has lmao
i know elemental reported him
and told everybody else to report him
ya can sometimes keep somebody in the game mentally by
like saying whoops my b i could've peeled that
takes a little pressure off them
when they lookin like they goin 0-6
and just accept their fate
nah'
that monk
was throwing from game 1
he only didnt throw 2 games
both were with me
last game we just flopped uncontrollably
so shitty to do that to people
whenever I say I'm sorry for not knowing how to play vs frost mages properly I get flamed lmao
bro in solo shuffle bis strat
hype people up
or dont say anything at all
i used to tell people fuck you dogshit heals
turns out
they dont wanna help you win if you do that
😂
ya like if healer can ruin dps day for being rude they will
cos they legit will get into another lobby
before u can send a rage whisper
I met a mega angry resto druid once
he got mat at another Fury war in the lobby for training the healer
and so he refused to heal and just throw
''If you go healer I don't heal''
so we didn't go at the healer but the druid still left during the 5th round
ya had a few healers left because people went healer lmaooo
"if you try to go me ill leave"
so i did and he left

had a rogue do the same thing
"you aren't meant to train rogue"
killed him again and he left
Thats me like playing so nice! Damn bro lookin fresh af mate lets kill warr! Lets go champs
😂😂😂
am I actually supposed to press slam/whirlwind with annihilator? i feel like i always have either bloodthirst, rampage or execute up instead
no slam bad
so annihilator is that good you give up an entire talent point?
The intent of the build is to just focus on self-healing by spamming bloodthirst
Annihilator isn’t really amazing on its own, but it allows you to do that while getting passive damage
Is it better to run Seal of diurnas chosen 421 or Pvp ring?
Always pvp rings
but eranog ring is giga vers and crit ?
Real furry warriors play 2h main hand and shield off hand
I had a restro Druid with the glad mount tell me if I don’t zug perma he won’t heal me. It was fkn tol’viron triple caster lobby
Yea let’s sit in middle of the map and get kited to Africa vs demo frost mage
You could go crafted ring 418 ilvl, think smexx runs it and a lot of other r1’s on other classes
Warrior doesn’t get as much out of it as other specs since our embellishments are actually good
eh that's fair either play to win or go next
i'd be tilted if i had to heal a warr for 3 rounds who just dragged every game out another 2 minutes then died anyways (while lining me)
ya crafted pieces look appealing as fury tho for mastery
as arms there is the uhh ring for less vers
is fury bad rn?
any comps where fury is better in 3s?
No
dang
haste or crit build is best for arms ?
Ye
bit of a mix feels the best
u already get some crit from stuff like tier
The more crit you have the more you're reliant on rng to carry your games
Haste is more consistent and more fun
And haste will more than likely be king again in 10.1 when crit dmg is back to 150% LIKE IT SHOULD BE
ya feels bad to play without either stat
no game swinging crit feels weaksauce
no haste to smooth things out feels clunky
Crit back to 150% will make the game more controlled i think
And faster because haste will be better for many classes
Less spiky maybe xd
I'm high on that copium for it xD
Depends on tier. Blizz said this season was supposed to be pretty small tier buffs
Which is wilddd
ya its a change i was figuring they'd make in prepatch
too volatile otherwise
people getting snapped in half in 1.2 seconds feels bad and unforgiving for most people
your first good take on 10.1
jesus, it took you a while
decided to stop sitting and finally make progress on legend
bluedrew and orchilles in a match. tfw playing >2400 matches you with players who are >2400
haste is bae
Excuse me?
My survi rework idea was based as fuck
the cc malding tho 
I was always a warrior my man
I rolled survi to alt it in pvp
Then i started playing with Kargish
And it stuck xd
rereroll
I'm doing shuffles on warr now
Legend is treated like glad and is removed next season yeah?
ye
Fucking pointless lol
you only get the seasonal title if you're 0.1%
and yea legend rn means less than an s2 SL glad
Is it Crimson Legend?
0.1% all specs or just yours?
just yours iirc
ye
ta
my guess is next season will be either Ebon or Obsidian
since it's a neltharion patch
Obsidian
is it confirmed?
Ebon would've been better 
Next season 
they'll just rotate through the dragonflights
Bronze gladiator 
Bruh, all SL season names were pog
sinful was pre cool, unchained was okay
In 20 years, all the cool names will used up and we have things like 'hecking gladiator', 'nutty gladiator' and Xaryu will still be crying for deep freeze
racist gladiator
homophobic gladiator
politically-charged gladiator
capitalist gladiator
kanye-supporting gladiator
i could get behind any of these
gladiatorial gladiator
2 glad 2 furious gladiator
demonic gladiator dekel gladiator
racist gladiator goes hard ngl
It does baba
maldiator
male pattern baldness gladiator
we're gonna get "veridian gladiator" or something if we have a green season
stoned gladiator
cuck gladiator rogue
fotm gladiator demon hunter
legit tho they should've done like
Storming Gladiator this season
since it goes with the whole raszageth thing
veganism is the future 
(i'll kill myself before then)
wasn't greta thunberg arrested this year?
coal mines
yea it was in germany iirc
thought we were on our way to happy wind turbine noise pollution hell
they're still pretty prominent in aus
it's where every yippee dropout bogan goes after they get fired from their construction job for doing coke on-site
does Smexxin play fury in bracket or did he just log off on it does anyone know?
bogan basically just means redneck from what i've been told
Why would he log off on it?
idk world quests? lmao
sorry im just switching over to warrior from lock after not playing for 3 years
does fury cast ragin blow and onslaught on cd? the icyveins guide seems outdated
The best thing ab the changes next in 10.1
Is that we won’t get obliterfucked all game
That’ll be nice

yea it's cringe af, esp at higher ratings
3v3 is dead stop being so suprised mans
rather play dead 3s than cringe soloQ
solo q is the future
of wow
these changes were to make healers q shuffle
it iswot it is
Better not be the future
it is the future pretending its not is delusional boys
embrace ppl roasting u over not being legend
in durotar
if 3s gets worse as the xpac goes on
i'll probs just quit early and wait for riot
i have negative interest in "pushing" soloQ
I'll harass people for playing SS until I get banned prolly
You don't "push" you get lucky that everyone else doesn't hard counter you.
It's gay
WTB lost ark oce servers
(Derogatory)
Solo Shuffle has given a voice to a lot of people who don't deserve it.
soloQ is definitely the reason why casters are going to be bonkers OP next season
enjoy your caster lobbies as arms when your kick is shorter duration, healers all have precog, casters all have precog for free and an extra pvp talent
and you'll do even less with your 2s of uptime because crit is nerfed
idk man ive had more fun in 3s than in solo
i just waited 40 mins to go 1-5 in a 2600 mmr lobby
solo is dogshit and so is 3s
i think this game is just dogshit
mmm 3s is nice just rough to find teammates
😂
also rating isn't as plentiful as it is in shuffle which makes the teammate thing harder
@mild thunder @grand scaffold It's the start of a very long journey, but at least I made it here
CONGRATS!
I don't think I can do 2.4 though. That shit was hard
🙇
nah
Ill just quit lol. ss is so boring and i like playing with frens
Exactly this - the whole point of an mmo is to play with friends and people you meet. SoloQ literally stops you from doing that lmao
If you want SoloQ PvP, don’t play an mmo
I think that solo is fine/good, it just shouldn't replace standard play.
They fucked up by having it give all the same rewards while being easier and more accessible.
Kind of frags the lower end of the ladder if you can knock out an elite set solo in no time.
5cr off CBA
unfortunately the chances of them renegeing on any of the rewards is pretty much zero
the lower end of the casual playerbase would rage like no tomorrow if elite sets were taken out of shuffle
lobby of 3 arms :D
Yeah, that's the plan. Gonna chill for week or two and push out mythics for the feat. May try to get my bm or dh up here. Not too sure about that bit though. I was on vacation last week, so maybe that's a big part of why I did so well this week. I went on a 4 game 5/6 win streak before that last match. Kind of shocked it only gave 59 rating.
This is true
Disagree here. A lot of pvp functions the same - whether you solo, duo, or have a full team, you get the same rewards for making it to the same level. Even mobas are like that, and pvp is the only reason they exist. It's a stale taste for old wow players, but it's something most games have been doing for years.
That said, you can find slight differences. Maybe a different tinge or border or title or something to specify the difference between how you got there. The level of achievement remains the same.
No, the rank scaling for 2v2/3v3 needs rebalancing. Number of points per win/loss doesn't equate to teh work put in, compared to shuffle.
I imagine after this season the reward limits are going to change and how much cr you get will as well, across the board. It wouldn't suprise me if they set elite at 3k and staggered everything else from there, or if they gutted cr returns in shuffle and lowered elite to 2k. However they do it, the coming seasons will all look completely different from this one. Initial drop always lacks balance.
i wanna reply to this but also cbf because everything is just too wrong to get started
No please do. I wouldn't say anything if I wasn't open to the convo.
pvp doesnt function the same in wow - rbgs, arenas, soloQ, they're all distinct and unique game modes with varying degrees of participation, skill-requirement and rating value. the rewards should not be equal between them. the level of achievement between getting legend in soloQ, gladiator in 3s and HotA in rbgs is not even remotely comparable, and neither is getting 1800 in each bracket
2s/3s rating is fine, soloQ awards way, way too much. nothing else to really say here, the current inflation speaks for itself (top-end of soloQ is ~3.6k)
elite has been the same since TBC, they're not changing it, and neither should they. blizz has already hinted that they're going to decimate rating gains in soloQ next season to stifle the inflation, which is the correct solution
in regards to how to increase 2s/3s participation, the best solution is to let 2s die (potentially deleted altogether), while shifting elite sets away from soloQ and into 3s
perhaps add a different 1800 reward for soloQ, such as the seasonal vicious mount
No, the rank scaling for 2v2/3v3 needs rebalancing. Number of points per win/loss doesn't equate to teh work put in, compared to shuffle.
shuffle is just six games in one lobby, abiding by the same quantum mmr rules that we’ve dealt with since forever. it’s also beholden to every reward that premade brackets have, barring a mount. the idea of adjusting rank breakpoints across brackets isn’t honestly an awful idea, i just don’t see it ever coming to fruition. the way that rating inflation works in this game effectively prevents the other 2 brackets from being as much of a vertical climb as shuffle
i do genuinely think 2s needs to be let go, it doesn't serve a purpose anymore. all it does is suck away the already dwindling real arena playerbase from 3s
ntm it's become a boring dps/healer snoozefest over the last several seasons, which is only going to get significantly worse come 10.1
“specs aren’t balanced around 2s. it’s a FOTM playground” —> okay delete it
no mortal strike or competitive 2-dps comp? sorry, queue button may as well be grayed out
they really should've foreseen this and simply deleted 2s at start of xpac
marketed soloQ as a direct replacement instead of a replacement for 3s/lfg
it would’ve given these full-time 2s rdruids enough time to prepare or unsub
or prepare by unsubbing for that matter
what do you meeaann? i love queueing into bm/rdru in 2s, it's so fun (im a masochist)
once i started respecting my own time (not playing two versus two arena or logging more than a double digit number of hrs a week) my life improved drastically
But again, you're talking as someone who plays wow and has done wow pvp regularly. To say you like the old system is fine, and I'm not going to say anything to the contrary. It is a decent system. However, the current setup is still in line with other games pvp. Either every queuing bracket has the same rewards at the same breakpoints, or they have slight differences to differentiate. And this is assuming the reward system even works the same. All this stuff...transmog, mounts...a lot of mmo pvp setups throw it into play-over-time point systems. You get the rewards faster playing at higher ranks, but if you play long enough the number of points to get what you want is still well within reach.
To say the numbers don't need adjustment isn't really accurate. The numbers have to be adjusted based on the number of people playing. When the number of people you have swells too large, you have to either add tiers or expand the brackets. Games that start off with a silver-gold-plat-diamond setup tend to add a bronze/master rank as well, or more, just to keep players moving through the brackets effectively. Wow already does this. The fact that the difference between rival 1 and rival 2 is 150 points instead of the same 200 like the ones below it is indicative of how they're trying to adjust the numbers for the size they want that bracket to be and how many people float below that. The points wow uses now may have been plenty, but we don't know how many people joined pvp because of ss, and we don't know if the brackets are swollen or if some are too empty. We have the player perspective, not the numbers.
If they're already talking about dropping the rating gains for solo, that makes sense. They probably want to bring it more in line with the others before trying to determine where the next break needs to be. Bout to message cap so, p2 inc
wouldn’t be opposed to non-r1 titles being granted at % breakpoints again
they should just get rid of 3v3 and make a good objective based game mode
I think they are working on it
no
i'd rather rbgs removed and downscaled to small 6v6 objective-based modes tho
that'd be fine
2 healers, 4 dps
I can see why you have that perspective, and it goes back to the conversation we had back in december. If they give a different reward, maybe it could increase participation in the other modes, but then again, maybe it just shuts back out most of the player base. I could see the mount itself being a valid reward for r1, but then how many people would want to do that much for a mount? You get one basically for free just by playing matches with no rank attached and people still don't do it. I don't have an answer for how to fix this, because I've never seen a game that made this an issue except league. I wouldn't model shit after league though lol
3s aren't obsolete in terms of attraction to players - if they were, soloQ wouldn't be this popular
soloQ is as popular as it is because people want to play 3s, but they can't
the better solution would be to revamp lfg
instead of destroying 3s with a shittier version
with the proper reward/incentive adjustments at the same time, i think it probably would be
The game is longer, but I think that can be excused for the purpose of the mode. I don't think point gains in solo should be as high as they are, especially when they're so small in the other modes. You'd think rank gain in the others would actually be easier in group competitive play...at least, that's how I think.
yeah, and to be fair shuffle adds rules that condense each individual round
i just mean to say that they distribute points the same way. naturally shuffle is substantially easier to climb in lol
slight edit bc i didn’t like that that could be read as potential snark
@mild thunder Bruh. Its made me so sad playing fury. I love getting 100hp off bt 30s into the match. But I get that it's because they just want rounds to end faster. The balancing is just weird.
I wonder if the round robin matches is the problem itself, and if you q'd for regular style 3's most of these problems would go away. But that creates more. Fuckin nightmare to think about. Glad I"m not a dev 
dampening in soloQ is ridiculous, but it needs to be ridiculous for the games to not go 20 minutes every round
self-healing just shouldnt be a staple defensive for dps classes anymore
Nah I didn't mind it. We're gamers, we gotta have some kind of skin lmao.
And I get what you're saying. That's exactly what i"m saying is wrong though. Lets be fair, the massive numbers in solo rn aren't JUST there because of how easy it is. People are out here crying constantly about how hard it is to find matches in 2's/3's, or how long it takes, and somehow the answer is solely because ss is a cheese bracket? Maybe yall just can't play enough to do the same thing lmao. You experienced this same kind of inflation just a few months ago in 2's/3's, and they definitely weren't dead like they are now. I didn't play SL so idk what that was like for yall, but I imagine the differences aren't as massive as people imagine them to be. I also imagine more people put more matches into solo than anyone ever expected. The giveaway is the inflation. They said they "didn't think they'd need it" for 10 weeks, and then decided to ramp it by 20 points a week?, knowing they were 20 weeks minimum from s2? The example they gave in the blue post didn't give the full picture. They just added 400 points to inflation on top of the numbers people were already getting. Shuffle is probably massive, and they're adjusting like I said in the previous reply, so they can figure out how to scale the numbers next season.
Sorry, tangent. I think that based on the skill that automatically comes with group play, point for wins should be higher there, but lower in solo. If a win would net you 100 cr in group play, you should be looking at ~75-80 in solo. Slower rate of climb to still end up in the same place, specifically because of how accessible it is. Personal opinion.
the popularity of shuffle was definitely unprecedented at the time. the game looks similar to how it did in SL other than S1. talent trees still kinda sucked and pretty much every class had (at least) one less burst cd. it definitely feels as lethal as SL S2 was if not more
@undone pumice
scaling back shuffle cr gains is a really interesting take that my brain can’t and won’t try to fully seek the implications of at 4am. you’re definitely also correct about shuffle’s popularity rn being owed to the fact that there’s basically no other game mode
for as controversial as RSS’s announcement was, a massive swath of those opposed just grit their teeth and played once it was released, myself included
My point. I really want blizzard to come and tell the community what has actually happened with shuffle. It would be so much easier to theory craft with a bit more transparency, but I think that's not going to come until next season. How many people are actually playing? How many more is that compared to previous seasons? Why is inflation so high and we're only at the half way mark? Because at this rate, I'd be surprised if the finally numbers weren't above 5k.
I feel like they could have gushed harder about it and had no need to repeat themselves. It definitely lives up to it's name. Meanwhile, execute...
but it's not 6 seconds
man sometimes i love hitting execute, sometimes it hits 26k and i wonder why i pressed it
it's doing its best
Legion classic when?
same bro, same
then it hits 110k + fatality and it gets you high
Rookie numbers
im just being realistic
Imagine not hitting 150k+
record execute was 165k on some dress guy in a BG for execute
Nice saltwater macro

does it matter what quality your crafted helmet is
only if you care about anything outside arenas and bgs
You mean like, 90% of the time? Normal "big" for me is like 120 without jug and fatality typically hits during some form of mit
only ability really cracking is MS in arena and SS tbh, i have had some actually disgusting OPs on dudes on low hp tho
for wm, that's about it. Unless you're just trying to gear a character fast for both. I tend to grab the pvp items that fit for alts and use those for quick ilvl boosting.
Man I still remember when I hit someone 100 -> 0 with 1 Exe in SL
I miss her every day
F

Bring my conq babe home 
honestly id take a nerf to the ability if it actually felt like an execute
OP criting for 70-80k on people lower than 35% hp makes me want to use it more than execute
same with MS
Thought the +crit dmg was active at all times?
maybe i haven't logged on in a while
Don't quote me, but think it's only the rage gen you get in exe range
you right
still want to use it over execute when it doesn't crit tho
weak exe hits make me soft
I need exe to hit like touch of death, every time. I'll take consistency over random limp noodles any day
love that idea
it's like 100k any time it goes off. An actual execute, if they can get it before someone heals through the global. It can't crit, but 100k off someone below 35% is basically death lol
you like the animation??? 
On the contrary
you dont like the overhand execute animation? i love it
tbf the animation itself is fine - the damage delay is horrible
yeah that part is cringe
the animation is also kinda boring... it's already used on a ton of abilities, not like it's unique
The fast swing and exe sound just sounds way deadlier
ah well i haven't played retail since mop so its new to me lol
Feel like I'm a clown hitting one of these with current animation
it should be a glyph so i dont groan to myself every time i run massacre
dont ruin it for me mfers
non-massacre animation + classic execute sound addon = godmode
SL classic when
Come back to me
what is that
i think you mean 
+400 mast, +22% strength, +30% MS and ghost wolf
Mast and MS was given to the team as well
would be very fun with current kitty cleave ngl
22% strength and 30% MS sounds hot

man i really should've played more s3/4
I love it
I feel like I'd like that more than spear honestly. Or put the slow back on dragon roar
dmg delay is so awful
nah
we need dragon roar stun
that thing was awesome
Fair, but I can't see them giving that to us when we have intimidate. I'd gladly give intimidate up for dragon roar stun though.
intimidate is a fear tho
Yeah but blizz doesn't seem to like throwing too many aoe locs on people. Aoe snares are one thing, but stuns and fears? How many classes have more than one?
Stun on charge would be nice too, instead of charging into pummel
Or add it to warbringer. Reduce the damage but stun everyone it hits
nah
that would be toooo op
would be fun as shit tho
i think they should replace uproar with shockwave
so it makes dragonroar stun everybody for 2 sec
How is that less op? lmao
that wouldn't be good
why
because fucking up your DRs in aoe for a 2 second stun isn't really something you wanna be doing everytime you burst
maybe you are right
why is it gonna be better?
Oh? patch notes are out for 10.1?
whats happening that has to do with uproar
🪨
less cc/longer games > pve meta > emphasis on damage > uproar stonks
i googled since you mentioned. Read with me dogo https://www.wowhead.com/news/patch-10-1-ptr-patch-notes-class-tuning-and-nerfs-to-interrupts-331761
I'm just starting out solo queue and when i win games I get no rating, but when I lose a game I lose like 80
FeelsBadMan
that doesn't make sense... fresh rating?
I started this morning, got to 1.5k
Man fuck blizzard
?
lost, went down 1.4, won again and still stuck at 1.4
How many are you winning when you win?
warbringer is disgusting, needs a nerf
the first line mostly
rebound buff very nice
nooooo
usually 3 or 4
I do like rebound change yeah
anyone that thinks warbringer is okay or good design for pvp is cringe
bro
bro
how do you think warbringer needs a nerf
60k charge is not good lmao
have you seen boomkins
Or that fucking jump swipe on ferals?
other classes OP =/= arms should be OP
also how often are you hitting 60k? I get like 30 normally lol
i dont get any of these huge numbers you guys are talking about lmao
it's not even a straight nerf
its the crits
they're making it actually decent for peel
without a crit it would be like 17
idk about running warbringer after this nerf tbh
but yea TL;DR warrior is looking good in 10.1... caster meta will be cringe, but we dampen very, very well and rebound buff good
why is warr looking good im not understanding
i just explained why
because of consistant dmg meta?
dampen meta > slow games > arms a top tier damp spec > arms stonks
plus we get affected less by reduced cc than classes like rogue or hunter
what's the point of rebound with 35 sec cd
ok that makes sense
do you think fury is getting fucked?
also an interesting choice
who cares about fury
same. And fury has no changes
ok
also hard to say anything concrete, it's week 1 of ptr and we don't even have info on tier sets, new embellishments etc
no
why do i feel like druids are gonna be shitting on everyone?
Do you need to be max lvl to buy stuff on BMAH
there is something I need on another server
no clue
Sorry I missed that you replied earlier. Gimmie a sec
yes
@thick reef https://i.redd.it/8ibbhid80nfa1.png
Thing is, if you lose a match, your next match mmr will typically be below your current cr, unless you're in the green. Even if you win, unless you won 5 or 6, the most you're doing is bringing your mmr back to where your cr is. You need to win back to back, or at least break even back to back, in order to balance your gains/losses
Took a while for me to figure it out too bro. You've got time. Learn and ask these guys for help. 100% worth it
Don't really get what about the patch notes makes you think fury will do better. All stuns shortened, great. Also losing gladiators distinction, so doesn't it really just balance back out to the same?
Oh sorry, all stuns and roots. You get like half a second earlier let up on stuff like sap and tangling roots with super long durations
i speculated that fury may become slightly better
cc reduced, crit nerfed > slower meta > more damage oriented > pve specs get better > fury stonks
It will all depend on the tier set
potentially, yea
Idk. -25% crit does sound like fury lasts longer, but is that really enough to make it to the next burst window? feels funky
for ss??
what? i barely even understand the question
reverting to 150% crit is a massive change and will absolutely curb burst and in conjunction with the cc changes will slow down the meta
all you have to do is ask any BFA survivor
I'm playing fury in SS do I want to stay as annihilator or go onslaught?
yes
feeling stupid?

no, because you were still wrong 
what yall arguing about?
he was trying to argue that one of the datamined raid boss mounts was the glad mount
like
4 days ago
shame that it wasn't
Annihilator build forces you to use bt more, which would help your survivability and gives you decent aoe to help keep some of those pets down. Onslaught build is nice if you're having trouble with rage gen, and can also give you a really nice burst window since you're hitting an extra ramp. You can do either, but personal preference is for onslaught since you're more worried about single target normally anyway. But I'm trash that just figured out his keybinds.
idk how i feel about the new one tbh - would've liked to see some love for the cliffside wylderdrake or the other one
this is way better
it's mid
it even has a saddle
it's a shitty obsidian worldbreaker
wait no, this one has saddle
almost all of us were saying that we're gonna get glad recolor of every dragon variant
NO NONNO RECOLORS ONLY
ye idm spamming BT, I looked on the ladder for solo shuffle and most people seem to be using this, but idk if people change their talents when they aren't in game to stop people copying them? xD
couldnt be me
we drink toxic waste to have a good morning
i have never used the R word in my life
my theory is that metal dragon will end up raid drop
Remornia?
same
i said it could be glad or raid boss
most likely
NONONONONOOOO you said
but didnt see he was raid boss
I don't think anyone gives enough of a shit about that. But if I'm being honest with you, most people aren't even playing fury rn
I'm good at fury, mid at arms lul
.
Galatard 
.
sorry not sorry
ofc, you think i come here to be positive?
then be negative somewhere else
Yeah, I thought so too. Then I realized i"m only good at fury in pve, complete dumpster fire in pvp, so now I'm mid at arms in pvp
🚫
bruh
galatard*
lmfao
okay so, the mount...is that supposed to be the new glad mount?
por why?
speak for urself 
alright mr big dik
3s next season gonna be 💤
isnt it now?
I mean you're more than welcome to try. I've seen a decent handful of fury floating around 16-1700. But the number falls off quick after that. literally 1% of people who made it to 2200 or above are fury. Arms has almost 8xs as many
seen a couple say fuck it and throw double dagger smf in the field and call it good
oh did I reply to the wrong one?
I did. Lmao
XDDDDD
@thick reef
why you say that?
I don't believe in myself
Hey man, you can't be self deprecating when you're good at the game. Leave that for actual trash, like myself.
I may level my DH
honestly curious how far I could actually go in 2s/3s. Too bad I don't have pvp healer friends
DH looking like they’re having fun
I actually like dh but hate the elitist community. Always imagine they're really just rogs that got bored
Naw rogue and DH play way diff
Who plays a healer, maybe as an alt in this subchat?
druid pvp chat is so deda
dead*
There’s a big diff between a good DH and a bad one though
talkin about personality, not playstyle. What classes play the same besides casters?
@mild thunder this one makes more sense than the other for a glad mount https://www.wowhead.com/news/dragonflight-season-2-gladiator-mount-appearance-331819?webhook
sure, but some classes exaggerate it significantly more than others
gap between a shit and good fury warr is probably a lot smaller than a shit and good sub rogue
This is true. Like watching that one mage doing 2m dam while you're standing on top of them, vs the one that couldn't do 500k before they died
most frost mages think they have to cast to do damage
but they just need to spam ice lance
lmao
i think i now know what elo hell is
its not being unable to climb
its being unable to find games cuz qs take forever XD
Idk rogue players will either always play rogue because they think their IQ is too high to play anything else, or reroll the most broken OP spec which may be DH
Isn’t spell reflect already a 25 second cd? So it would be 45 seconds with rebound
And I always thought aside from reflecting like important spells the better part of it was the magic damage reduction
Still think rebound is a dogshit pvp talent
Yeah, the point of spell reflect is to reflect an important spell like clone or mindgames or stop a nuke like glacial spike. Not kill someone with their own spell. Rebound is pointless just give us overwatch back
new rebound reflects 2 spells, which is handy
chances of getting gimmicked are lower, plus it'll reflect two instant spells in a short period of time instead of trying to reflect a glacial and only reflecting the ice lance
math aint mathing
That’s sick I didn’t know it reflected two spells now
well by now i mean 10.1
So next season?
ye
Thought it was 20 seconds added my b
Warbringer change is cringe, damage is whatever dumb as fuck to nerf it but the range isn’t the issue with it, it just doesn’t root most of the time make it wider or actually track the way you’re facing
i heard they're fixing the bugs but idk if that's true
the dmg nerf is well-warranted tho
If a paladin can hit me from range with templars verdict and judgment for 100k+ I really don’t care about a 60k crit from charge
paladin is a hybrid spec, warrior isnt
also complaining about ret when it's a swampass spec 
rebound rn is still funny af
I’m not complaining about ret, I’m saying the other melee classes are throwing abilities that do more damage who cares about warbringer damage
And 65% is a big amount now it’s just a root talent omegalul
rebound sr a chaos bolt or glacial spike or even hoj is funny af
that's just a horrible approach to design and tuning
neither of the abilities you mentioned are problematic... warriors doing 60k with a gap closer that they can immediately tie into an ms or execute is
wdym man
I’ll remember this take when I’m being triangled by ranged classes
doing 60k in an aoe into a 200k mortal or exe is completely fine
shut up cock gnome
balanced 
Doesn’t regular charge already root
yea but warbringer aoe
Idk who’s hitting 200k executes or mortals on vers geared characters
Nobody
based
Biggest exe I’ve it is 130k and it was on a dust MW
The root means literally nothing when you’re against casters
the root isnt what make sit strong
so... dont run it into casters? lmao
because of bugs it is arguably a worse root
Run it vs casters to get damage
There will literally be no reason to take warbringer now which I’m okay with
