We will push on
Hey i'm completely fresh to arms pvp, do you press rend at all or just soley spread it through thunderclap?
Same question for slam, should i keybind that?
Thanks fam
They need to make slams gcd half to actually make it good lmao
So many buffs but still damn weak lol
how high do saddles stack in bags?
Do any of the warrior specs even use slam lol i've not played it long but it doesn't seem like it
They dont lmao
Literally use rend on totems. You get OP procs from better rage usage
Annihilator fury does
Zhrey memed with it on arms, it didn't seem like completely horrible, even if it was memey
for crafting pvp gear, what exactly do i do?
the trophies are from the quest and if i'm behind, I can get them from a vendor?
You can purchase the trophies for 3500 honor
ok cool
cause i wanna get into pvp as prot this season
but i also mostly raid/m+ so i was gonan craft two off pieces with pvp ilvl on them
Those trophies aren't for crafting gear btw. Just for upgrading the world pvp gear
He has joined the cult
Congrats homie
What?
You can’t rend totems they are immune?
I've been apart of the cult since wrath 
rend has instant damage lmao itll kill a totem
they’re not immune to dot damage anymore I thought
Hello everyone, as Arms, if I don't have the set pieces yet, is it still worth it to play Rend+Clap? Or should I skip those and go for something else until I got 2/4 set pieces?
90% sure you Rend+Clap anyway
Yes. We used it last patch before this tier, now it's just better.
Only exception (last patch) was if you knew you would only single target. Now you basically use it all the time even if just pets are getting rend for procs
thoughts on unhinged vs hurricane?
i hate not being able to cancel BS
why do people prefer hurri?
if u unhinge 1 target, i guess it still mortasl strikes
but is that less or more damage than hurri?
or is it building up the MS after the bladestorm with the str-stack thats "important"?
Unhinged is unreliable
Hurricane gives huge str bonus
And move speed
Nearly every comp in this game has some form of minion spawning
Man Arms has too many buttons for my brain 🥲
How often would you say you cast Rend instead of using just Thunder Clap? Could I safely remove it from my hotbar and not lose a ton of potential DPS? I feel like you'd only use Rend if TC is on cooldown and they dispel your Rend or something 😄
Unhinged is bad. Hurricane has a trade off. Sometimes warriors will run neither (because they need to cancel bladestorm, but unhinged still bad.)
Rarely.
Almost never.
Why would you not clap cheeks if you could instead clap cheeks?
Unhinged into UDK+BM+Rsham

Based
Just had a match where all 8 players on enemy team in brawl were bots 😦 that's really sad to see
They call it comp stomp
Oh this looks like shadowlands xD
this makes me want to puke
any different build I should use until I have 4p?
Fury seems to pump
lol
"ONLY"
Yeah just go gnome and its fixed
uhhh holy fuck
have you guys tried skullsplitter?
i think it makes the 2set work
and its really fucking good
Sweeping into skullsplitter bladestorm is utterly powerful
during skullsplitter you are just SPAMMING SD procs
i tried it first week, and it seems very mid so idk
https://www.reddit.com/r/worldofpvp/comments/18fi7uq/so_weve_come_to_this_great_job_blizzard/
bro are you okay?
wasnt this game at like 1200 cr?
3 sub rogues seems kinda op in 3s
yeah so basically 1200 cr 😛
if they time the 3 300k evis I can see it being problematic
for sure
I was actually thinking on how to beat it, we had a pala and a druid
especially at lower CR when rogues just bully bad healers
in the SL arena
I tried a couple of bladestorms
to no avail
stood in cons, no luck
realistically - trinket first opener and do enough damage that they dont make it to their second major go
they waited like 3 minutes before the opening
yep I was thinking about that, but they went for random saps, then waited minutes
3x shadowy on the healer while other 2 deals with dps
does it not DR?
i mean shadowy is like 6 sec and undispellable and theres no DR
there is no DR for shadowy
now there's something to genuinely complain about
and evis hitting that hard is stupid but
outside of that subs basically fine
I mean, it's a meme comp for sure, and reddit is so dense they didn't even read my "funny" flair, but if you think about it it could work if you got 3 great rogue players
not viable at high cred, but it could work for a climb
the reddit flipflops between big egos of 40 year old lifers and normal human takes
hahah so true
honestly I feel the game is pretty balanced, but this season is dead in terms of attendance
people are making it out to be worse than it was in previous seasons, and buying into stupid clickbait garbage from venruki and co
may be the ranks and late expansion fatigue, but we just got a major patch, and even in standard ladder, there's very few games
imagine taking opinions from reddit seriously nice or critical
the queues and ratings are very similar to what they were like in both S1 and S2
at this stage in the season
I don't play SS much, mainly 2s and 3s, so I don't know about cues too much, but I got some 30-40 mins as dps
very normal if you're doing one of these: popular spec, higher rating, off peak time queues
combine 2-3 of them and hitting 40 minutes is normal
though even then I've seen most of my queues between 20-30, with only off peak pushing it above 30, and only one queue or so above 40ish
what rank?
2100-2200 unholy dk/arms war week 1 and onwards, 1600-1800 mage/warlock/shaman
longest queues I've seen were on the lower ranked toons at like midnight aus time on a monday
ah not bad then, even at 2100 you got only 20 miins?
yeah that's been my experience, granted I haven't played either of them much this week specifically
maybe there's a huge difference between wednesday and today lmao
didn't cue ss today, working on my 3s ranking
I wanna park 2s and 3s at 1800 and wait a couple of weeks to try and push to 2100
hows unholy? I'm considering using the boost/finish leveling one. Seems fun, but slow
fun
a lot of damage
I've only played the coil build this season but its very fun, kinda reminds me of some of the older firemage where you'd get a big pyro
nice, I'll give it a shot then. Also it has a great mog this season
jesus fuck dhs still hit like boulders
testing out arms and holy shit theyre no different
nerfs literally only nerfed them by 5% lmfao
week 1 they were doing 70-80k constant now its 65k lmao this company
still big pressure but they tend to automatically win a lot less
feels less like being held hostage by the healers round after round
In 2’s what is the best stats? I have 5800 vers, 3700 haste, 3600 mastery
Nobody talks about it in raw numbers like that
I'm running around 30% haste but I've seen as low as 20% mentioned
Thank you
i go all in mastery. feels amazing
🥲
11% more till the mount
Ill try it
I'm definitely going to start using more mastery. It's only like a percent difference and you hit better with mastery.
(I watched Seifs vid) 😆
How can I get my set pieces the PvP iLevel upgrade ("Increases item level to 489 in Arenas and Battlegrounds.")? Is it the verdant trophies? The trophies say they only work on crafted gear but maybe that's just an in-game miss? 🙂
IT'S UPDATED AUTOMTICALLY EVERY TIME YOU ENTER PVP
caps sorry
Ah I see, had no idea it worked like that, thanks 🙂
(including the pvp target dummies)
If you mean the tier set peices. You either get pvp tier from vault, or you use converter to make pvp gear into tier
If I'm understanding your question correctly
If it doesn't say the scaling thing, it won't scale
so i guess the sure-fire-way of getting 30 to 1 hour SS queues to pop is to walk away to go to the bathroom for 1 minute, come back and see you missed your queue
happened twice to me this morning 😠
Yeah, ya ever try to bait it? Walk away and come back 30 seconds later to see if it's popping? Lol
that i am gonna try once i hit the 45 minute mark again in my next queue lol
All g each match ended with someone leaving
👍
1/20 matches actually go all the way for me lol
Dead game lol
I'm talking about the molten vanguard set, I thought you got it from Fyrrak raid? Or are there two variants of that set, one from raid and one from vault?
So it's the same gear. But if it doesn't originate from pvp, it doesn't scale. Aka, if it doesn't say it scales in pvp at the bottom of it, it doesn't.
The only tier that does has to come from a pvp source. Only 2 ways of doing that. You RNG tier in your pvp slots of vault. Or you convert pvp gear into tier
With the catalyst
Lmfao i love shit warriors on ladder talking shit blaming them being trolled for their losses
dude doesnt HT skyfurys and shaman ass blasts him
"oh im being trolled hard"
i talk shit and he tells me he has 1021313 glad mounts and i got 0, i tell him i got a job that pays more than a wendys grill and he freaks the fuck out LMAO
then he ignores me and i cant talk shit back and goes and talks shit back
typical area52 and tich players 😔
dawgs like i got 100k in savings as a 20yo like LMAO dawg thats your parents savings LOL
Dab lives off of daddy money confirmed? 😉
im my own daddy lmao
i just booked 72 hours this week and expecting 1300-1400 payday this friday as i relax with my 10 PTO to grind this shit
my car insurance just got reduced by 120$ and i pay only 600 a year now for full tort and my credit score just went up by 3 points for doing absolutely nothing with my cards capped full of cash. i can rest easy knowing i can still play warrior in arena even with a soul crushing job
i know youre in here loser. back to work
I'm gonna need that family tree explained
so in the beginning i fucked myself and became my own daddy
Prot player. Checks out 

All my shit just goes up in price tho 😭
I can still save like $1000 a month after living expenses thankfully
Well invest so I can see big red numbers anyways
you dont even need to invest to be successful. hell just put 10% of what you make into a savings account and wait 5 years and boom
Fuck man im done with arena for awhile. 1900 rating and im queuing into some glad players. Capped rating is the cringiest shit I've ever heard of
FFS MODS
can you PLEASE fucking remove clyde
investing in stocks n shit is reta when the bank can literally dupe money for you easy\
boom theres my message i wanted to send
but naw cant say the big boy words in a discord for a game that people in their 40s play
rating doesn't matter, I was working on an alt yesterday and met several rank 1 peeps at 500. It's been like this since the beginning of the expanson
Money markets is decent atm, but stocks still fine, here for the long haul
yea im not saying its bad to invest in stocks but you can literally play the long game and dump money in a savings account and dupe your money passively. its REALLY good btw. you CAN do both but diverting the cash to both if you plan on min maxing it is kinda brutal if you are constantly buying stock w/o selling while dumping into savings
my stocks i buy are physical silver and put them in fancy displays 
Sucks was hoping to push 2100 rating but don't that's realistic at all right now
This is the current display im working on
Best damn thing to invest in
america the beautiful quarters proof 80% silvers
Display comes with a little key for bottom drawer
Double it faster invested. 🙂
My only physical investment is my condo.
Cool collection ya got started tho
Maybe clean a bit 
Started?
Did you mean your monitor display? 
Where the bitcoin at? 
in some alternate reality where i give a shit about that 
It's okay, at least we got the jack bottles, Alan wrenches, and what I'm gonna say are lotion and a gun magazine. 
oh thats not lotion lmao thats fermenting grape jelly
Whatever does it for ya 
You should invest in snus
if u go these every arena just know that I disrespect u
no disarm nor safeguard
true warrior brain
the 2x intervene is legit op asf idk why people dont 100% rock that shit and ye
no disarm into sub rogue makes me cry alot when duo with a arms war
like the only usefull thing in bcomander is cdr on fear
5% on roar is nothing
nor 2 sec root
Fr tho
I know I'm trash with Safeguard so gotta roll with more damage 
yeah if ur teammates arent fucking brainlets and actually stay near you
the amount of times i vene someone in solo shuffle and they just run from me
i stopped caring
yea i never rock vene with a DH
it just shows how fucking stupid they are when they make a warrior look bad when they get behind the pillar first to get ass fucked by their team
i want to let you know over the 3 hours sinc ewe talked
i got half my floor cleaned lmao
okay I wait for end of season for faster queue. Cant climb when most of my games are wasted on waiting the queue to pop
Glad I was such a good influence. Proud of you son.
That's all of your games regardless of point in the season. It's solo queue. Unless you heal I guess
yeah been thinking of doing fistweaver cause i play with 250 ms
i thought it functions as a mdps but heals?
yea mdps sucks with high ping because you lose globals]
and it just doesnt have amazing ways of sticking on your target like ww
so i have just been playing on hard mode?
i refuse to play melee specs that dont have at least +3 yard range
makes the game feel wayyy better
if you play warrior, yea :/ ... probably one of the worst specs with that ms
warrior and ww
time to move to america then lol joke hahaha. yeah i feel the delay on the pummel if the caster fakes on the last sec
i'd personally move to canada 
but yea there were tons of times i missed a charge or didnt intervene a kidney or didnt bladestorm a stun or something because of the slight delay
assuming you're oce?
SEA yeah
yeaaa, it is what it is 
Ouch, still questionable.

On god
junkyard fries are also revolting
and americans need to learn about sauces other than ranch
🤢
Hey hey hey. I fucks with BBQ sauce
Not so sure lol
gtfo Hot Buffalo Sauce is the best
that's ok, i am
From the expertise you've accrued from losing to emus. 
yes, exactly
Probably less birbs in Canada. Less of a menace for you
less americans too
Canada is basically like western sweden but a little worse
canada is just america-lite, but it seems more chill
literally just america's new zealand
shit, id almost say nz > aus tbh
nz>=qld/wa, nz>>nsw
but the rest? naw
the kiwi dream is to move to australia and drive a forklift
lol
nah nz is just better overall
except maybe tas
quiet, chill, rainy

although adern is gone, so rip nz
wasn't she a soft righty?
maybe if you're a twitter socialist that thinks anyone to the right of bernie is a nazi
(please dont be this person)
I'd have to read up to see where their labour party currently sits
I thought she was from a more obviously conservative party
i mean, do you think the australian labour party is conservative?

they're center and shift depending on the party makeup/election
and policy
I'd say they lean slightly right though yes
RIP based Shorten
4 years later people realise that the man was 100% correct on housing policy,
australia too stupid to vote in their own best interests and just do what the age/herald sun tell them to do
What are pets but very annoying dots
Even after 2 nerfs DH is still OP. Really annoying fighting against them
You just die
Okay
Last season. DH was balanced imo
Still did good damage. U just didn’t flop over instantly
Dh was dogshit last season tho xD
And dh is not even that popular anymore, it fell off hard
Still S tier, but not the best spec anymore
its high A tier
S tier is the best spec and the specs that compete with it
so basically just sub rn
I guess it’s still popular in different brackets
Cause they in every lobby!
UH best “melee” hands down
Well sub
But honestly. I never see them
It’s weird
dh is still much more popular
That’s what im saying
Every time a DH on my team we win lol
I deleted my DH once I got 1800
I couldn’t stand it anymore cause it was too cheesy
what no one talks about when it comes to how "strong" specs are is the ratio of strength:accessibility... sub might be overall stronger than xyz specs, but the accessibility to being that much better is more restricted than dh or uhdk
so is it technically better? yes
are most subs you see going to be as strong as most dh you see? probably not
sub balanc
skill expression (the curve from skill floor to skill ceiling) vs impact
subs not that difficult to have very high impact with
sure when its damage is mediocre in some seasons it does, but RN not at all
it has a much less accessible skill-ceiling than most specs, especially specs like dh, arms, uhdk (three of the easiest specs in the game kekw)
not sure about that
eh trolling/derranged take
dh, arms, and unholy are on at least 2 different levels there
probably 3
yeah its derranged
also hard disagree on sub having a high skill ceiling compared to every spec
its towards the top, but there are other specs there or above it depending on the season
hmm, bro when you see guys like whaaz play, it's not the same game
sub has, and has always had one of the highest skill-ceilings in wow
all rogue specs do
feral does depending on the way it's being played
survival kiiinda does
arcane mage does
usually
see I genuinely feel like unholy>survival in terms of skill ceiling

since the remake, every single season
and I like playing survival, its a great spec
sounds like you just dont know how to play it
and have never taken it outside of a random bg
broooooo
uhdk is not hard to learn... all of its cc is instant and unavoidable, it has several ways to avoid/negate cc, most of its burst is on-demand and your pet management is significantly less important than hunter
none of those apply to sv, and i dont even think sv has as high a skill-ceiling or floor as a lot of other specs
yeah you don't know what you're talking about at all
those two specs are very similar in a lot of ways, the CC/positioning/all of it
uhdk gets played like a meleeweave ranged spec? i dont think so. uhdk's just w key zug
constantly, its extremely important against ret/arms
uhdks are not pillar-sniping lmao
sure, but there's things that are complex/difficult that survival doesnt do either
like having one of the most interesting positioning tools in the game
yea obviously there are things that uhdk will be required to do that sv isnt
?
grip?
deathgrip when used for more than just 'charge' replacement
is that really that high of a skill-expression ability? grip out of LoS hurrdurr
pillar spinning people with deathgrip is fucking chefs kiss
also sv actually does have repositional abilities
to be very clear, I'm not the one pissing on a spec/saying its easy
I think sv/unholy very similar, with unholy slightly edging it out
yes, i do think uhdk has a noticeably lower skill-floor and ceiling than sv
i dont think they're very similar in playstyle or role, and i think survival's toolkit is generally harder to execute because it's a mix of skillshots (traps) and soft-cc that's easier to counterplay than hard cc like strang or asphyx
also the pet positioning is more important/more difficult with unholy because of pet leap
lol
also not true... uhdk has no pet externals
unless im tripping
so you dont even have to position your pet for stuff like MC/RoS
the pet leap can be deadzoned
and has a windup
so actually landing the interupt is a massive hassle
procs precog too
doesnt sound that hard to use ngl, but yea that might be as much of a hassle as RoS
or MC
or misdirection
if you're try harding as the cd comes up you use 'move to'
actually binding move to 🤮
so? welcome to hunter 
I've never seen a reason to use move to on a hunter tbh
you want the pet either on you, or on a target
in my experience
you manually control your pet for interlope targets
you have to manually control your pet for MC positioning
i split pet targeting to keep healers/rogues in combat sometimes
?
nvm
That's shuffle, last 24h
shuffle 🤢
And it was most popular there
For the sake of argument
I don't have premium there to check 72h
Can only see last 24
Well I’m glad to see shaman. Prob a lot of resto shamans because I think they are slightly better imo
Well I heal better on it than resto Druid
So I’m bias
it's probably all ele
So they realized their fotm reroller ways
lava burst go brr
😮
It was obvious ppl rolled fotm
What did you reroll to @wheat jay
can we just go back to jungle/kfc meta amirite @wheat jay
I cant even bring myself to play it
I pick a spec/class for a season and stick to it
Duh, you included, it was obvious since we saw 300k DPS
I deleted mine
its the lamest class/spec in game (dh)
I felt bad
Hehehe
dh is infinitely more fun than uhdk ngl
For the other players
man all this unholy hate 😦
I was survi main, so it was a nice change of scenery
I was a hunter main also
whoever was designing/head designer lost the understanding of the rune engine when they dropped deathrunes but its still mostly there
i played some surv over the weekend... it felt mega ass no cap. cant move, no borst, and just perma dead into melee cleaves
it’s the wound gameplay
But its ass
i was talking about festering wounds
they're just old combo points
I was doing like 45k dps into lock/boomy
bfa gutted the shit out of uh
oh nah festering wounds are awesome
Cant get close cuz i die
explosive still only critting for 80k
wowowowowowowowow
so true bestie
Survival doesn't have to, it's a ranged spec, you good
Not rly
eh
festering wounds remind me more of the original frostbomb rather than combo points
You do most dmg in melee
you lose a lot of damage playing perma-range
Accidentally replied to wrong one but you know
and your burst takes you into melee
Your big hitters and cooldowns put you in melee
(remove coordinated assault charge pls)
Fote is now must have and its melee
So you there for a global then back to 40 yds, damn, must be rough
if you had the mobility to do that, but it's a wheelchair spec now ngl
only cause they do damage now
Not rly
Bombs do fuckall
Killshot is 80k
which is cool
make killshot oneshot
Mongoose bite is your main consistent dmg
they were alright before that too, I did also like the old necrotic plague as well
Make execute one shot, thanks
So you're a melee spec that cant live in melee
Remove executes from non warrior classes
And from range you do 20k dps
difference is execute is a random proc that buffs other abilities and procs from 35%
and has no CD
(remove killshot cooldown)
yeah plague was awesome
So we want to one shot quick and often? I see no problem here
Execute is atm the least execute-like ability in wow lmao

Its just core rotation
even IF execute did good damage
it feels like ass
because condoom animation is piss
Yeah... it's much 
that shit needs to be a glyph
Like, exe should be making people be afraid to drop below 20%
I mean... at least it looks cool amirite? lol
Meanwhile rogues and monks have true executes xD
yea but in order to do that they would need to mega-nerf execute proc effects
like massacre and SD
Ye I h8 this game sometimes, many times, most of the time
the reason killshot hits so hard is because it's 20% only, has a 10s CD and its only proc is CA on a 2min CD
tbf ive still had 175k killshots
Which is like 10%
it's just uber inconsistent
Non-crits i
yea non-crits highest ive seen is like 120k on mage
Survi execute is fote into killshot xD
Nah
i do kinda wanna pick up rogue tho... was watching whaaz play outlaw and it looks so damn fun
and ive played it... and it is fun
im loving feral, literally the only downside is my irl friend being a feral one-trick
so we cant do high keys and shit together
and he's a much better feral so i cant muscle him out of the spec 
Assert dominance anyways
I need to cap vault on my resto druid if anyone wants to get some quck arenas in
nope you can take a talent to add 20% reduction tho
Wait really?
Says all ranged and melee attacks
But might only be physical damage tehn
*then
finally got one on clasic
I got a character with the name Saulgoodman on classic
@wheat jay buff intim when
anyone know when solo shuffle rating gets inflated?
yea just google "vulpera inflation" and you'll find some stuff
uh huh
@sharp meteor is an expert
Vulpera are not to be inflated, sir.
Why did you say this
im just tryna be helpful 
Last season they started it at week...five?
But it's only like 20 per week + a free 80 first week
aka afk for 4 months for easy pushing
they need to just artificially pump tf out of this season
we’re in a recession and we need welfare rating to get people engaging with arena again
what are that stat weights for arms. i am so confused on the leader boards
haste to ~20-25% (depending on preference) then all mastery
that's before pvp scaling
all haste is good until you fight something where you don't have a ton of uptime
vs melee cleave full haste feels insane
probably drop vers enchants and gems
go deeper into mastery
I have 35% vers and it feels good
3-4 more wins till mount
i have no vers enchants lol
is arms warrior is tanky a meme that im not understanding why are people scared to focus warriors
they're quite tanky tbh
Cause it's immortal vs anything that's not a caster cleave
would say there's no melee that's tankier than arms except sub maybe
because it's the tankiest spec in pvp
except into caster cleaves
With a competent healer you can eat entire bursts with only using one cd
people that think arms is squishy are just the kinda warriors that leap behind pillar and die in a stun w/o popping CDs
and then type "nice heals"
@teal hedge knows
Too well 
Does the legendary still function in pvp?
was curious myself on what pvp modifers the proc/onuse have
And if the ilvl gain makes it simply better than a epic pvp weapon
What you guys think of the latest venruki video?
what video

eh, i avoid watching those kinda videos
(yes, i have added nothing to this conversation)
usually me too. I automatically ignore fitness channels with titles like "THIS IS WHY YOU'RE DOING YOUR DEADLIFT WRONG"
or "STOP DOING THIS THIS AND THAT"
eh, for me it's moreso not wanting other peoples' enjoyment of xyz to affect my enjoyment of xyz... i have my opinion on the state of the game (not amazing), but i still enjoy enough to stay subbed
it's very easy to get sucked into the whirlpool of negativity with wow and pretty much all other games/media
true, although I think that that video has some good points, like there has to be a way to incentivize participation from new players
im sure there are probably some decent points. i like ven more than supa or others, just something i try to avoid
for sure. and he clearly states that the actual gameplay, balance and gearing is the best right niw
and i agree, the game is super fun.
endgame reward system as a whole needs a revamp, not just pvp... m+ needs an elite set and better mount reward, pvp needs better rewards for each rating bracket and better inflation in seasons, and probably some other stuff on top
but lacks entry points for new players. I remember my first season, it was pretty rough, and I pushed through just because I kept pushing out of stubborness
and now I absolutely love pvp
this is really the unfortunate irony of dragonflight - some of the best actual gameplay in wow's history, but the atmosphere of the game has really been at an all-time low and shuffle has seriously hurt pvp
as far as im aware m+ retention has been pretty standard and i think this season is actually slightly above average
I agree 100%
yeah he shows the data. PVp vs Mythic
shuffle has really just been the greatest bait in the history of gaming
it's like 1000% higher
some of the top players are comparing this deflation to a scenario where you can't complete any key higher than +8 for the first 8 weeks
I mean I speak from personal experience, I am pretty bad to low average in pvp, and to get my 1800 this season i literally played Pikaboo, Mes, etc.
I had fun, but I don't think it's omething I'd like, again, as a very average player
i was legitimately hardstuck ~1600 in the first two weeks on survival
2500xp last season in 3s, and we just couldnt break past 1600
felt horrible
yeah it's a bad feeling, although the game is in an excellent state from a mechanics, balancing and overall accessibility standpoint
yea, gameplay is in a pretty good state... there's always some QoL improvements they could make for pvp (making stuff like omnibar, diminish baseline, in-game DR tracker etc.) but realistically i doubt it'll ever happen
unfortunately i just dont think shadowlands-level arena seasons will ever happen again with shuffle being introduced

blitz will take even more players once 11.0 drops
one of these has to go
wow pvp doesnt have the playerbase to support 5 ranked and 3 unranked gamemodes
I agree, and that's why the ladder mmr needs to be revamped drastically, including rewards
if we get no new noobs, it's not good for the longevity of the game mode
if i were to give a wacky solution, i think rbgs should just be replaced by blitz and shuffle + 2s should be combined for a soloQ 2v2 gamemode where healer + dps is only matched against healer + dps and 2x dps against 2x dps
would it be perfect? no
but it would have far better queue times and 2v2 would be a better introductory gamemode for casuals than 3v3
I mean it's not a bad idea,although I think ranked Solo 2s are much more difficult to balance
yea i dont think they should really go out of their way to try and balance it tbh
let it be what it is and focus the majority of balancing around 3s
if people dont wanna play double dps they can opt in to a "healer-only" option, it'll just mean they sit longer queues
@sharp meteor whaddya think? hire me or what
i wonder if you'll beable to unlock the old grand marshal gear from the new rated solo q battle grounds once they come out
what rank is grand marshal?
back in the day it was rank 14, but getting 1800 rating in RBGs will give you access to the repllica armor for transmog
(or if you had at least rank 10 from back in the day you unlocked it)
That’s completely fine but probably solo 2s would be a less formal rank pvp mode, probably like old days the 2s without glad mount
The game is probably far away from balancing in 2s especially without healer
Rogue/Mage will be very good in 2s without healer
Some other specs will be fairly bad without healer
But it surely is a possible approach
2s is already a "less formal ranked pvp mode"
it's just a meme bracket for rdruids and feral druids
no one takes it seriously
Yeah but still plenty of people will get crazy about it
Tbh I like skirmish plays a lot
Some classes have adv so what
It’s more close to world map encounter
It’s actually less realistic to always have a healer accompany with you
No patch notes today for retail, but patch notes for SoD. Guess we're locked into current balance until 10.2.5
there's just so much tuning coming that it has to be announced late 
they gotta wait for everyone to have 4 piece
Oh mah gawd
Romero launched a doom 30 anni mega wad
Bros its play time
Missed out on ordering sigil so ill guess this will do

Tsg vs demo/mage/x who should win in most cases?
id say tsg
what are u guys doing to set up a kill as arms in solo shuffle?
im really struggling finding resources for arenas to build on mechanics. Lots of build info, not really sure where to look for anything else.
Big damage often, big damage always
But depending on build your likely burst is Csmash, droar, avatar
roar after avatar
Can't if you have blademasters which you run a lot of the time
Unless you waiting for after the bladestorm. But it's just better to before
why
Spikes damage more
And the dot power scales with your avatar once it's activated with how dots work now. So really just missing out on the 15% on the initial droar hit
For the benefit of putting more damage in a smaller window and being able to get things going immediately
If you roar before avatar you lose 30% of it's damage, both initial and dot
Does roar snapshot and I didn't know about it?
actually, 50% including avatar
Avatar nerfed in pvp to like 15% I think
roar damage is affected by strength and attack power. Hurricane increases strength by 30% over a 6 second BS cast.
That is also nerfed in pvp to 15%
well it's 30% between avatar bonus and hurricane bonus then
And if you really want that, you can use your normal bladestorm before you burst
where do you read this? Wowhead states that it has a 1 multiplier still
Patch notes over time
When in doubt, assume warrior shit is nerfed by at least 50% because most of the time you'll be right

Most of the arms talent tree is nerfed in pvp by large numbers
@elfin surge Would love to tell you more about it. It's his favorite subject.
should i buy trinket or ring first conq
is arms doing better than fury this season for pvp?
@mild thunder
cant believe i got a pve head
i think i should just get the pvp shoulder and use a charge
Had a restodruid just run away from me when I was at 30%, straight up run away to the other end of the arena to go stealth and then he somehow ended up mindcontrolled and went off in the chat calling me the R word.
Like what
Should I have a macro ready to equip a sword/shield, and use shield block if I need an extra defensive in arena?
mb should i just get it. why is helm and shoulders crit haste
I was getting trained a lot in the skirmish weekly, and before I could really do anything, just getting melted and made me think I need something else to pull if I'm getting trained so heavily. But then I'm also thinking it's primarily 2v2 against casters, and a shaman that's going from 0-4million damage in 5-7 seconds.
if its ur 4pc probably
for ur 4pc for sure
that’s just how the stats are
i mean i have crafted helm but i have lfr chest. still have 1.2k(+550 when i cap) conquest and 2 charges for catalyst i think? if we got one. any second opinion. Thinking of getting the shoulder and just buying hands to convert. and just use 1.6k token for chest. and all in into rings/necks for conquest
Do you have 2nd PvP weapon?
its a wPvP weaon 3 ilvl is fine i guess
o
I wouldn’t know what else to get tbh haha
with shoulders and hands you’re at 4pc right?
yeah im also confused hahaha
yep
what’s the stats on chest?
its lfr hahaha i still have token tho from reaching 1.6k
I would get that with the token then like you said
yeah this is gimping me hard hahaha on the stamina department
actually what’s the stats on the tier pieces for shoulders and hands?
maybe just replace chest with a converted conquest chest
Hands is haste vers, shoulders it another crit garbo
damn
yeah il just buy chest with token. take shoulder from gv. buy hands and convert it. shoulder and head is garbo man
thanks man
photoshopped
there’s no way
legitimately impossible
Hey peeps. Losing a lot in arena lately as arms. I always top damage numbers but I feel like I actually do very little in the matches, like I see other warriors with more or less the same gear (Honor PvP + 2-set) and build (Thunderous Roar + Rend) as me get someone from 100-0 in two seconds or less.
I've watched some Bahjeera and Pikaboo videos that I found and I feel like I'm doing the steup correctly:
Sweeping -> Charge -> 2x Overpower -> Colossus Smash -> Sharpen -> Storm bolt target / shockwave if it can hit healer too -> [DPS Trinket + Thunderous Roar + Avatar]
This usually does like 30-40% of someone's HP assuming same iLvl as me.
Any guidance would be very helpful! 🙏
Yeah bro you gotta upload a VOD for us to help you there
If you have an Nvidia graphics card, GeForce Experience does screen recording
tldr - don’t waste sharpen in a burst sequence and arms doesn’t have “burst setup”. just cross-cc when you’re bursting and don’t apply rend during cs
Maybe I misunderstand the point of sharpen, but I assumed you want to apply it for the healing reduction during your burst? When should I use it then? Just whenever a kill target becomes low HP?
I should maybe clarify that I play unhinged so I proc it during bladestorm
whenever someone is low, the healer is out of/coming out of cc and you can push for a kill
good rule of thumb to start out is to wait until the target is below 50% for sharpen
when did thorns start hitting for 50k?
caster cleaves beat melee cleaves most of the time. the average 18 hundo tsg should beat the average 18 hundo Mage lock
When you started hitting into it
Thanks for the tip 🙂 Also what is the general wisdom around bladestorm, is it often used as a burst CD or would one generally want to hold it to dodge CC or get out of roots/similar ccs at crucial moments etc.?
beating ugly mirror always feels good
tomorrow we get another catalyst?
we already have unless u eu? not sure
I think that's pretty clear from the context
im kinda new but yeah i already have another catalyst so yeah
man this season is rough on me
It just started, is deflated and you've barely played. 
thank you for believing in me! New season record
warrior/priest is so ass
wrong channel
oh shit my b
eu more like pu
we have GOT to stop spamming the channel with scoreboards
was going ham into the rdru without realizing he had cycloned himself
accidentally merc'd the rogue behind me
you're free to make your own channel
If you want carefully curated content i hear there's a subreddit called r/worldofpvp
very good content
that subreddit is for career 16 hundo warlocks that complain about every class
They also want to control content. You don't want to be like those angery warlocks right?
so free the content!
much love, friend
What's the problem with scoreboards? Who cares
Ban any scoreboard that starts with 1
is UH MW any good?
feel like I see a rise in that comp
yay
Beat my shuffle max
When they can play the game then it is yeah
its the endless spam of them after every 1600 2v2 game
I'll have you know I spam them before 1600 as well
bring on the scoreboards, I have 3 more hours at work and I'm bored as f
i'd happily stream my messy games but healer finally gave up
Damn gais I just won this sick game, sure was a close one haha eksdee
carried by healer
clearly
look at healing done lmao
2s DH is so skilled bro
🙏
nah im just insulting kargish
Honestly he would have won if they maybe casted 10 more instant CCs on me

Maybe if his RNG wasn't trash, he'd have lived with Blur and Darkness as well
look at how bad kargs damage is, then remember survival does even less
real

survi dog tier
can’t even do damage if people have the iq to stand on top of trapped healer
hahahahahahahaha i can’t press half my kit hahahahahahaha
can’t explosive
feral when
you can at the end tho
or even if it breaks, its worth it
cant fote either
diamond ice should be baseline lmao
can't use 80% of my kit without it
Just default to diamond ice
you lose other shit tho
ew
😦
trap just feels bad
felt good when survi was more ST
now everything is some cleave/frontal
Oh no, must be worth more than being able to use your abilities
You get the added benefit of being able to make swaps as well
so, tranq darts, disarm, chimera, mending
pick your poison
survival instincts has to stay
You don't need mending into anything but assassa or feral
yes
Maybe arms if it clears TR, Idk if it does
and assa is meta
And then what, you pick mending + tranq/chimera as your 2nd and 3rd
@mild thunder do you have 4 set for surv?
no
wait, again?
you pick mending, chimera, survi instincts
survival instincts is 100% pick
never swapping off of it
chimera is 90% pickrate basically
Yeah the damage is pretty intense
@fickle forge WHAT ELSE CAN I DROP!?
because everything else has either equal or more value
so i can't pick diamond ice for pure damage
eh
less than most specs
has super cringe positional requirements
Just drop Chimera if you complain about being unable to do damage cause of your dog trap?
it’s just a channel you cancel immediately
chimera is there for cc
kinda lame
i need my cc to land
to do damage
at all
i can drop it into resto druid
but then its default tranq darts
it was fine, without fucking explosive shot
that's your main dmg
and when mongoose did damage
remove explosive, replace with flayed
ngl idc what they do
keep bombs
just do something
make the effects actually matter
gl 🙏
do a backflip!
I believe in you, no pressure but don't disappoint me
I expect you to have fun
i mean
fam
i always have fun on survi
thing is
all the changes to pvp
were an indirect nerf to survi
survival is less fun now that it's a wheelchair spec
Conq feels uncapped already
tomorrow I have a vault, almost 2k conq, and a final catalyst for 5th tier piece and all I'm missing is trinkets, jewelry and belt.
you dont need 5 tier pieces
Yea i know, but i crafted hat so I'm just swapping it back
oh ok ok
4piece for fury is just half my strategy
open with odyn's fury and get disarmed, then go ham on the warrior after
yea im getting shit vaults again 
got insignia on rogue zzzzzzzzzzzzzz
idk why some outlaws are even running it over badge
bro another socket for me.
sadge
From vault this season I chose mastery weapon, tier piece, and regular conq legs
think that offset the fury tax a bit for me
weap on survi this reset
gaming
tier tomorrow maybe
i also got shit vault on feral 
I'm going to get the leggo axe probably
game feels it
just had so much gear luck every time on this toon
i aint negative, it's just true 
where's my witherbark or weapon from vault on feral
ive run everbloom so many times bruh
0-6
1-2
4-2, you're gonna rock bro
that's a rough lobby
only way to make it worse would be replace the ret with a uhdk
It's not all bad, 2x pseudo ranged vs 2x melee makes for two good chances where they can't cleave
so that's two rounds sorta safe
1-0 rn so gala lost already xD
fake news
Ngl, that was pretty fast
2-0
