Pve gearing doesn't take a ton of time anyways, so you can finish that up and then just pvp.
If anything Plunderstorm showed you can attract a bunch of people if the cosmetics are good
And we still had a bunch of people complain they had to PvP in a battle royal gamemode
Plunderstorm got the advantage of simplicity and access
But it also didn't gear your main for pve?
Time investment is hugely different. PS is instant and 5-10 min game. Not 30min que for a 10 min game.
I'm guessing you're refering to shuffle now
There is no comparing PvP and PS, as PS is the superior mode of the two for a casual base
That won't help get ppl into WoW PvP tho
Sure there is
People care for aesthetics
Aesthetics make people wanna get something
Sure gear and power matters too, but literally the only reason anyone ever gets 1800 or glad is because of the mogs and mounts
There are already mogs and mounts for PVP. What is your point? That it needs even better cosmetics? If so I can agree it would help.
That it needs more and better yes
You want as many insensitives as possible, you can have more than one thing.
Weird how we have a massive wall of people that stop at 1800 and 2400
I fail to see your point. Afro at least interacted with the idea. You seem to be arguing against, for what reason? Because we are not in disagreement about cosmetics as a pull factor.
what idea?
Gear as a pull factor for pvp or removal as a wall between the two.
Sinful was so cracked.
Rewards are lackluster, gameplay/balance is ass, queue times are forever, and MMR is bricked. There are the issues with pvp
I mean we've been over this a couple of times already
Sitful gladiator was wild
Balance isn't that bad, everybody has a good comp.
That gave us rival's unchained soul eaters
Inflation and its consequences
We went from ultra deflation to super inflation
sinful wasnt deflated they nerfed mmr mid season which made everyone stop qing
Yeah so it got deflated
I thought people just all quit after they got their rewards so top end of the ladder sat mmr
It wasn't ideal regardless
Nah they nerfed MMR mid-season
And then everybody stopped because their R1 spots were pretty much secure
Q'ing up meant losing rating
Yuh.
there was only a few active r1 spots at the end that were pushable
more than half the spots were basically secured
unobtainable cr
i sat my main that season because there was no reason to queue it as did everyone else
but i did push alts at the end anyways
Yeah which kind of made it worse
Anyone trying to push 2400 were facing the R1s playing alts since they couldn't Q mains
as in having pvp gear working in pve?
no thanks
shouldn't exist
maybe just have same ilvl gear as pve, but with pvp stats, pvp power and pvp resilience
so its viable, but never best
or close to best
like in WoD iirc
im fairly sure WoD had pvp power and pvp resilience
Nah, it was the first time they had the pvp scaling gear
But TBC to MOP had power and resil
ok i might be in the wrong here
so ye, pvp power and resil
then same ilvl as pve gear
you'd lose on stats
but would still be playable
Mop was peak
Queue times being ass is purely a solo shuffle issue
MMR is wack
Also why the FUCK is there a r1 for solo shuffle but not 2s
what the fuck BLIZZARD
That would be the goal, to have it so you could do well in PvP and enter your raid without being miles behind, if you did the m+ instead.
We only got X time to play.
If PvP is all cosmetic it must wait till after pve gearing is done.
That is my main issue about gearing.
Not even top5
This makes no sense though
How so?
Why would you have to delay PvP because you're gearing PvE
3 of the top 5 was Magnusz. Just Magnusz.
PvE is the main game mode, as such gets priority by most
Okay, but why does it conflict with PvP if it's all cosmetics
only mop had power
Time you got to play, you could go for PvP cosmetics. Or pve and get PvE power
It is a great change, fr.
Nah I don't see how this conflicts at all bro
If you play pvp, and pve
You handicap yourself in one of them
By going for either pvp or pve vault
We're not talking about vault
We are
But even then, you barely lose power by going for PvE vault over PvP
Yeah you are
We aren't
You got 1 hour, you raid so you want to gear for that. You can a) farm cosmetics, or b) farm gear ilvl.
What is more efficient and valuable use of that 1 hour?
Weapon 1st week is busted
You might lose out the first 2 or 3 weeks
Where pushing rating doesn't even matter at all
Being on ladder this season meant you were 1900 for like the first month or so
Hey, not unlike now. 
Or if you dont pvp until later
Then you're fucked until farm 10k conq or so
Going from unchained duelist wep to cosmic duelist wep from my first vault felt like actual insanity.
Had the same
Feeling like the hand of god for a few days.
That's personal preference and a choice ya gotta make.
Not being able to gear in pvp for pve is not an issue
Was busted
That was Shadowlands though
Just pulled duelist wep from 3 of my 4 warrior vaults.
Missing her and being the main character. 
Back when we had to spend like 100k honor to upgrade the entry level gear
Best would be for pvp power and resilience to return
That sounds like life and prioritising your time in general my guy
It might have been forgotten, but we are talking about the larger playermass and how to get them to dabble.
I miss upgrading with honor
L
Honestly same kind of. 😵💫 I've never played as much as I did in SL.
Didn't realise there were people out there missing the SL grind
didn’t they lower it in Df s1
I only remember having fun SLs1 gearing with PvP, blasting raid. Then SL was all downhill pve world farm...
I never grabbed PvP vault when doing both m+ and pvp except if it had a weapon
or tier piece
got people to bg more I think
hunter fomo reroller take
I’d always get 4 other people to group with had fun
Give r1 and titles to 2s, give more cosmetics/rewards
ez pz
Remove conq, introduce Templates again
Yah Idk
no templates
Yeah, that was cool.
Everybody wanting to blast bgs.
Now bgs pointless again in terms of rewards. 🥹
fact is most people can’t break 1800
I for one despised grinding 130k honor, conq, renown, soul ash, conduits, legendary power, gold for said legendary etc.
Fact is most people cant break 1400
I did it and I'd do it again.
I mean you’re only grinding for honor lol
Although the conduits from korthia blew ngl but weren't really needed.
Now*
Yeah and that's good with me
Well before the flightstone change
I don't wanna grind to play PvP
Lets not go back to Shadowlands lmao
This would be the best
No covenant swapping, waiting for respecs, if it was time unfriendly it was baked into shadowlands
I love how its the exact same thing people are circlejerking over since like MoP
lmao
”PVP DYING”
But sadly blizz wants some weird progression...
”WOW DYING”
Nobody was playing late Shadowlands either, and it was the grindiest shit ever
glad isn't top 11k people gg dead game
I meaaaan, pvp is slowly losing players
Lets circlejerk this furthe
Rather than gaining
Yeah was abysmal
apalling that blizz won't fix mmr so it's good like it was in crimson smh my head
WoW is not dying, but growing. PvP is fading tho
Fixing mmr would be a good start
As it always has been at the end of a season at the end of a parch
especially since next patch doesnt bring snything new exactly
But again, step out of your solo shuffle grindset and wow insta queues
”PvP dying guys” like this hasnt been said since every expansion ever
I meant to say retail
It's not really gaining audience
it’s losing more than gaining
No shit lmao why would anyone queue rn
Everyone I know who rarely dabbled in pvp for some 1800 elite gear doesn't even do that anymore
Hopefully
people are gonna que rn
Thats what im saying lmao
Easy kfc glad
especially towards the end
Yeah we'll see about that dude
but season 3 had overall less players queuing than season 2
I mean rating gain is abyssmal, mmr is wack for people who want easy stuff
end of a patch and s4 doesnt introduce anything new
We're gonna have Taiwan inflation
Trust me
i'm hard stuck 2.1k any good tips
5k gamers
Go gym and come back stronger
cheesy
None of these guys have that sharp of a jawline
PvP also suffered a lot from the boosting stigma. A lot of casual players now think they got to buy a glad boost, or play Vs glads. So... they chose to avoid that all together.
kek
I like the fact thst ladder is hard
No easy glads here BABY
cant just boost a hunter reroller as 2 average players
Will be easy cuz I'm just that good
Wtf is that avatar Afro
Fucking illuminati teletubbies sun baby?
You aren't though cause you never stay sharp smh smh
Always sharp
Problem is, no gearing and no hope, long que times, no fun and too big of a wall. PvP got top many factors pushing the casual away.
I really do hope blitz blows some life back into the scene.
Don't need to
Yeah I'm just gonna send that to James rq
Gala dont have to improve. The ones above him will fade out over time, no new blood is coming in pushing from below.
Secure like s mountain 
Its Gojira album cover
my first season ever pvp paladin is gonna wreck the scene
It's only shuffle that has long Q time
I think I called that solo shuffle would suck in SL or BfA
I rather not waste 30 min trying to find ppl, do 1 game, disband, spend 30 min finding a new set of guys.
And no healer Qs shuffle cause it's complete garbage
You got half the agency of the outcome of a game and you also get half the rating and mmr for winning
Shuffle is the "my partners aren't on" mode.
Find a healer close to you in rating in 2s, apply, get accepted, run games
repeat
Add for more games some other days
suddenly you have 40 people on your friendslisr that you can game with
you can find people
I found my dumbass 3s people here kek
I know the process, done it a hundred times. Still, cba
For the casual it is
So its specifically solo shuffle
even casually
As someone who was extremely casual before starting to PvP, I found LFG quite easy and good to use
Its basic networking
Finding people for arena was usually never an issue for me
Same
Both, casual dont know how network or know that they should
I went in with 0cr and 0xp and found healers regardless
Casuals dont know how to add to a friend list because they enjoyed playing together?
I agree with most of your takes and ideas but thats just wack
Guys, dont look for confirmation bias in here. This is the top 10% at least. Not casual.
But we have all had the casual experience
Real
And we also know that finding healers and partners through LFG is a non-issue
Or even discords
I know Artji is boosting a friend of his right now just cause they're friends
If you are a nerd enough to grab WoW and play it to 70 you have discord installed
And if you have discord installed you have the brain capacity of joining servers
I will let the echo go on 
Like wdym they dont know how to use LFG lmao
Yep
Bro's in denial
I boost Kargish in 2s on his shaman
I can boost any healer homie
They really dont. Not in Pve and not pvp
Keyword being homie
Yet m+ and raiding are popular as fuck
it’s not that
people want to just do it and be done about it
And still the casual dont know how to network
nowadays
So then its just a wow-wide issue and not pvp related
This was the first time I ever did shuffle as a healer btw
Afro hit the nail on the head, gj
I mean I have no issue with it being a wow-wide issue
deserved
Disgusting animal
LFR has been a mistake and so has Dungeon finder
for the overall ”Community” feel of the game
But finding people is a non issue and everyone has the resource to do so
But I cant help if they dont want to do that lmao
It's wild dude lmao
sick 0-6 man
fuuuck
All the dps sitting 40 minute in Q for the other healer to leave in the starting room
In fact, I would say finding people to PvP with is easier than finding m+ grouos dont @ me
Anyone can do so, but there is a wall. This is a game. It is 2024, so ppl don't bother.
Them crashing and stopping will become an issue over time. As playerbase goes stale.
it is easier
There is always some chad dude who has 9 r1s playing his alt in LFG
if ur a certain spec sometimes they’ll treat you like a second class citizen
My first 2400 was with a dude who hadnt played in a year but had 6x glad xp lmao
He was like 1800 or something
We vibed, added eachother and played a lot, now he plays classic only
Like 2 days ago James and I Q'd into Cysbb playing with his homies
Karg/Artji were found through here lmao
Man's 3.5k and he's just vibing with his homies now
Solo shuffle is the LFR of PvP and it BLOWS
Cant believe they made solo shuffle 3s tbh
and not 2s which is a lot easier to get into
I got kargish tricked so hard he agreed to do glad run with me lmao
0 xp dude
All it took was killing him in for honor easy
carried s m h
How would they balance 2s double DPS?
Coached
2 dps 2 healers
less rounds
make it a casual af gamemode to introduce people to PvP
That would be blitz
Problem is that 2s is way more unbalanced
Yeah but its also way easier
Double warr is fun in small doses
does it feel good to play double warr lmao
WoW pvp just suffers from the same things fighting games suffers from
The wall of learning, finding the fun in losing AND winning
And being generally less popular types of games
I mean that's fine
WoW PvP is, Imo, the hardest game in the world
I like it that way
Hey, blitz allow you more combat, more fun, more room to learn basics and hopefully at a good quebpace.
Saw someone pitch Plunderstorm but as a legit arena gamemode which was interesting
Four abilities, mix and match
Fun idea
That would suck balls, warrior Vs feral? Just kill me now.
Mix and match abilities
Problem is it teaches you no arena fundamentals
the same 2s or 3s format
So healer/dps
or healer/dps/dos
dps*
Sounded interesting
It gets you to start playing with the idea, baby steps is how you get some to start into a sprint over a lifetime
Or just give pvpers max geared pvp characters without the leveling lmao
That can earn rewards but not do anything else except PvP
thats the me that hates leveling
Could be a solution, as long it mirrors your character and doesn't cause distance between the two.
As player investment is key for WoW
Split, and ppl are more likely to quit, big sadge
Gw1 had such a thing
You had everything unlocked
Max lvl
Gear runes etc
You just couldn't pve with it
Imagine if you could level from PvP 🤔
You can tho
Not as much as you used to
I mean hardly possible
Fair, I wouldn't know. I just do degen farmd
Ngl pvp char only would be fun
I'd make monk for it
Frost dk
Feral
I hope you stub your toe
Idk why you wanna alt specs that don't suit your style at all though
Monk I get
Why not
Maybe I'd find it fun
I'm tempted to play monk, I'd like to play frost dk in pvp too
Outlaw is sixk
Gay
fomo reroller
Gay
Gay
Frost is also straight up bad
yes and bad
It's not my fault most of them aren't playing it properly.
What are you on your frost DK rn?
Figured you were playing frost if you say everyone else plays it wrong
Not all of them, just the overwhelming majority. ^^
Imagine how annoying fdk/dev would be if they tuned around 2k shuffle play
FDK is pretty much limited to 1 comp, and it's not even the best comp for the deva
and that comp is hella cancerous
FDK gets ran over before the 2nd go anyway
Skill issue.
even xeek doesn’t like frost rn
It's just bad
Wym his whole playstyle for years was the gimmick run until 1-shot
even in SL that's all he'd play
Obliterate with every CD still hits for less than Exe and MS
That's about as ignorant as Rogues complaining that backstab only does 10k damage.
it’s not
Why
frost is bad lol
like majority of frost players hate it
There are no FDK players because it's terrible, only a few enthusiasts like the setup and one shot style of draco cleave
the cutoff for frost in ss is 2465
I thought we were talking about real modes.
obliterate does not hit for less than execute
or ms
on avg's
Holy shit frost isnt bad lmfao
What do you see it hit for?
At most I can make my own and seen others hit for 220k
And I mean outside of pillar Obliterate is like Slam without the proc
FROST SUUUUCKS
Why not podolski
Uhh english
?
Mr gojira album cover frost isnt bad
BLOOOWS
Frost OWNS
Nerf frost. Clearly OP
only cause it’s 1 comp got it that far
frost deva?
ye
2100 FDK stranging a prot.
That's me. 😁
makes u not spell reflect duh
Why aren't you prot you massive dork
getting 2400 first before next week
Aight fair
was 2300 but got knocked down by the most trash lobbies in existance
i got a arcane and frost mage 0-6 and then into a 3 loss healer quit
1900 back up 2100
not bad
i like how he was like
safe r1 and he's like
imma queue up
idk if giant balls or massive dumbass
he threw in my game
yo afro open your dm
Sometimes people don't care
idk how he even got there playing sks
hard to do
this list is hella interesting
anyone have 1 or 2 single minded fury talent setups i can copy off of?
Why you wanna do that to yourself
because i've played dark souls before and i know what suffering is
yea youre not going to be i-framing rolls in arena with SMF lmao
whatever
not until they fix frost dk
what did he mean by this
frost dk sucks
it's true
its bad when a rogue which is in essence wearing less than a sub rogue did in classic can 2 to 3 hit whats supposed to be a walking frozen heavy hitting juggernaut
@fickle forge how to gett 2.4k this week
O_O
?
by gaining rating BABY
Go gym and get stronk and then slam some sub lock mains
Slam some damage
better question then how do i play against lock/with caster
i've tried to push while i can
just wanna see if there's something i'm missing
when am i supposed to los?
Ask @fierce elm, he deals a lot of damage
what do i do if the ranged are having a dogfight, and going to attack something means i get hit?
Uptime is the most important really
WOW OKAY DUDE
You will be taking dick when you're warr vs caster cleave
or what if the least favourable of the kill targets is closer
like once i had a maldraxxus arena that had this (green, healer)
blue, ele shaman
black, shadow priest
purple, warlock
where priest is preferred target
but uhh they're on the other side of the map
what i do ther
just afk behind pillar?
attack ele and let priest nut on me?
Cr check
Like 2100 or smth Idk
Decent
You attack ele yeah, your lock has to push up with you
You can't drag yourself to their pillar when your team afks on your pillar and hits ele
That's the melee life, your positioning is dictated by the casters
ddo you think that lobby would even be winnable
we swapped to thunder
because enhance sucks
and now we are ret warr
Yes
You're favoured even
Provided the lock wasn't destro
so caster lobbies just hit the closest target most of the time
Depends on positioning
If a caster stands on your healer, I'd swap provided you have mid momentum
If your team doesn't push with you, then you can't chase your prefered target
Climbing up the meta picks ladder?
when do you swap?
i've seen a fair few games where hpal is kill target from get go
and this is like
shrug
when is it advised to split dps? had a ret trying to get me to go dk/ww while they tunneled holy paladin in hpal/UH/ww vs Hpri/arms/ret
Whenever you can get ahead by doing it
Simple as that
what does that mean though
like, against a MW during cooldowns?
Mw has two big healing buttons, and if you can force let's say cocoon on mw
Then you can swap to dps, cc mw and you get huge advantage because that's one defensive less on his dps
as in, i swap to MW and teammate keeps on dps>
?*
Could do that, ye
It all depends on how the game is going tho
If you swap to mw with 0 cds, 0 cc, 0 pressure you'll just waste time
That's why pressure is the important
Especially as warrior because you don't rly have setup based win conditions
You just slap damage
but would that be optimal compared to just slamming one dps
when should i attack who my ally is attacking? when they're in cds?
should i ever try to line sharpen for my teammates cds?
should i hold bladestorm for colossus? sharpen?
Send BS because its such a low cooldown anyways
Sharpen should be lined after or during cds
But sharpen once more has such a low cooldown
that it should line up
When you can apply the most pressure on a single target is when you attack the same target, generally its more common to attack the same
rather than swap off individually
whiever dk pulls in
its over for the ladder
when do we hit through sac
when do we not
i swear its the dumbest fucking thing ever
losing healer difference games because i swap on sac
🥰
Become @elfin surge 's Egirl
I'm not MUD's Egirl
And I haven't queued since Friday lol
Not sure I'll bother to try it again or not. Shuffle is horribad
leland's got too many bits that disqualify him from being an egirl

64 bit?

yep
XD
Someone ban this man
stupid in a good way
to be clear
:D
stupid russian
so toxic
told him off
he went afk
?
?
?
I think I've just experienced the worst possible warrior lobby. Frost mage, boomy, ret, hpala, hpala. Miserable experience as a human warrior
?
0-6 time womp womp
close enough
are you still vulpera
gay
Thats why you dont climb
kek
To decline your egirl application. Rip
go play pvp
i just realized if they make Shockwave easier to take on the talent tree its gunna lead to being able to have both TR and CS "Champion's might"sorry forgot they renamed and rextured the abiliies
what if you have to choose between shockwave and storm bolt..... a choice node they'd both be on the same node just a speculation
Intimidate scatter shot pov
My hunter has intim and scatter at same time?
i played a LOT in that season
lmao
prob more in s1 tho
Blizz should put dh stuns on a choice node
Blizz should put playing mage and not being convicted on a choice node
getting fucked?
I had 4 games in a row with a leaver lmao
remove solo shuffle
Im just tryna practice and gear pally man
so that people arent in games for 20 min at a time
rage more kid
Rude.
but real
I'm right here.
Ye? There's a lack of healers.
I have a friend who recently got into healing PvP and wanted to practice so he goes into shuffle and goes "wow this is like the worst thing i've ever done in this game what are these creatures".
you built like a ret gamer
Play eu ret with vanguard of justice, na ret is wack
joe
yall are done for
solo shuffle ROCKS
yo guys
did you see the warrior rework in war within
shit looks amazing
arms is not looking amazing
but fury
ooooh
SMF
Give fury their one season of being busted tbh
i just wrote it
we get an enrage swappable talent
can get +15% dmg instead of 15% haste
annihilator deleted
Aut oattack crits 50% chance to enrage hello
so
thats completely irrelevant
50% AÙTOS
meh
still not a bad change
but
30% dmg buff
100% gonna hit harder than with tg
Cant wait for this to fuck up loot tables for fury lmao
In PvP yeah
wont touch it
yooo what
NPC models*
Can we get NPC gear as transmogs now
was a good run
ok this is nice
you think? i think it looks like a random quest reward
I liek it
on 2nd thought, no
its ass
xD
nah
its to everything
oh fuck
so its still 12% overall dmg boost
yuck
they cant let this be gladiator when dhs run around on this for free
trueeeeeeeee
It's everything if the only thing you do is auto attack

see here it says 5% dmg boost
so when it said 30%
i thought it was to that
fuc
this looks a little better
still bad imo
but that wings need some clothes
clapped mount
😂
Tww buffed it to 30%
we know theme of sets now
And its still fucking shit LMFAO cause they removed anni in tww
that is one wack set
Ss this now
Warrior set will be a shit bug theme
is it 30 auto or 30 overall
fucl annihilator
yea]
Still a dead talent
They need to make it like cata done flat dmg and slam hits with both weapons
Change the slam part but yea
There is no point i was giving an example on how the chane to smf should be lol
Yes
what
why tf did it have a cast time
what if somebody walks away during the cast
now this
Its ptty easy to spam tf outta slam tho
so weird
Possibly but im talking about cata smf talented not df
Yea and it is now but way worse lol
atrocious currently
this looks awesome
why did they think autoattack dmg was gonna make us pick that talent
for now yes
Expecting warrior to come out soon probs
i expect hunter to be dogshit as always 😄
warr is usually very good
Can we just get updated Judgment
dk and lock is always amazing too
who let someone cook those shoulders
how does it look
send
whats wrong with it
i like that set
warr set looks pretty sick
Its very Thane themed
which one is the pvp set
better be this one
hopefully not the white one again BLIZZARD
I want COLORS
The shoulders do be noodles
thats what i was thinking
i dont like those shoulders
the tusk should be going from back to front
Looks good. I like it
Maybe helm should have had more of a face like the shoulders, but good
he is cahdding it up
what
There's a version of that arena out in the world. Soooo... the two are there
I like the evoker one
ye me too
they always manage to make Hunter sets look the same
artji the evoker
The evoker set does look badass
bruh
how do they manage to make hunter set look SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO bad
cba
imma roll evoker and play broken shit
xD
one button rotation
disintegrate
easy
they do this every season
almost
yes
Lmfao that shoulda been the abberus set LOL
Matches the mount from there
Ffs the 2nd to last on the right is the elite set
Another white warrior theme transmog ffs
lmao fuuck
Why are devs so scared to give us a more menacing color set. Like the elite juggernaut set
Fotm rerolling yet again
superior color naw mean
jk
need a red
is it fotm rolling if its for fashion?
the red is normal raid I’m assuming?
Fashion fotm
Now if it was white with red veins bursting through it it would look badass
But creativity is lackin still
always
ok for real tho
where are the 3d parts on hunter set?
it looks like MoP set
xD
The War Within gladiator mount looks very bad 
me like
3s is dead
did they fix rebound yet
This channel is 30% Vesa solo shuffle diary anyways
70%
I mean will anyone ever Q a 3s game if you can get glad from shuffle
I'm calling it now, S1 TWW is gonna be the most inflated glad season of all time
Quote me
Should just put it in all modes.
2s. RBGs. Lez go
someone pin this xD
yoi wont hit it in solo shuffle
”My one glad is the last rekevant” lmao
Just give it to 2s
