#

smf always a few percent behind tg or almost always

#

and that tax while being psychologically less

#

is probs worse numbers wise

urban skiff
#

so if you have a honor offhand you have a 525 x 0,66 + 515 x 0,33 ilvl equivalent to a full damage weapon

cinder thorn
#

Yes when I use SMF it's less dps

They need to buff that talent until its loss is compensated

sharp meteor
#

so without actually looking at numbers

#

this is just zercher coping

sharp meteor
#

their vision of fury is titan's grip

#

so it is what it is

#

smf has basically no real upside sadly

#

less stats less dmg less stam

cinder thorn
#

Yes but what's the point of including that talent

They did this when they released DK with frost using 2x1h and removed it

urban skiff
sharp meteor
#

basically no upside

urban skiff
#

is why I said, it's essentially a mobility talent for me

sharp meteor
#

its bis for old content tho u right

#

zoomies

urban skiff
#

bro

#

between frenzied enrage, SMF, and fast footwork we can have a base movement speed at 120% when enraged

#

120%

sharp meteor
#

movement speed is a good stat

#

sadly not worth stat loss here

#

wish smf was competitive i had these big meme ass 2hs

urban skiff
#

I think they're closer than we think, in pvp

#

The SMF tax used to be 2 talent points, it's 1 now

sharp meteor
#

I don't know about that.

violet fossil
#

If you wanted to dw just play frost dk

urban skiff
#

if I can find room for meatcleaver then I can find room for SMF

sharp meteor
#

You're paying a talent point to do less damage and have fewer stats.

violet fossil
#

u play fury to dw 2 handers man

#

Not one handers

urban skiff
#

and it looks way better because of the swing speed and higher haste

violet fossil
#

THATS NOT THE SAMEEE

#

still one handers in the end u know

cinder thorn
#

Is there anyway to confirm smf is working

I equip 2x 1 handers and one is always bigger than other even when I swap them and there's no buff or any obvious way to see

sharp meteor
#

Titan's Grip is truly one of the stupidest looking things in the game, especially as a Gnome.

urban skiff
#

I ain't saying SMF is the best. I just think they're way closer here in prepatch than they've ever been

violet fossil
#

it is prepatch tho

sharp meteor
#

I remember being curious and simming and the gap was like 5% output

violet fossil
#

Everyone’s stats are gonna be high

sharp meteor
#

as well as stam loss

#

and you had to pay talent points

urban skiff
sharp meteor
violet fossil
sharp meteor
#

There is zero realistic upside to SMF.

urban skiff
#

movement speed, higher enrage uptime

violet fossil
#

So we can potentially see a gnome warrior dual wielding 2 handers

#

And watch him drag them on the ground

urban skiff

#

Or controversial opinion, taiki waitikigtiakiiki should head it

rancid granite
#

^ D&D movie was same vibes

urban skiff
#

D&D movie was absolute perfection

violet fossil
#

I really liked the Warcraft movie

rancid granite
#

warcraft + D&D + youtube recap of the story is perfect prep for TWW lol

urban skiff
#

Holy shit

violet fossil
#

The only thing I didn’t like was the garona storyline

urban skiff
#

just realized I've been going into blitz with 515 weapons

cinder thorn
#

I do 100k less dps on dummy with smf

urban skiff
#

Mine was the same every time i tried, over 2 minutes

#

And that's competing with leggo + asskander

cinder thorn
#

I'm working on it

urban skiff
#

I guess it wasn't a very clinical test though

#

I was comparing powerful to frenzied as well

#

So SMF + frenzied and regular + powerful

lavish quest
#

Blizz should just decide of fury should use 1h or 2h and then make SMF a passive that let's you mog whatever they go with into the other if you want

#

#changemymind

#

It'll be the drip passive

rancid granite
#

1h'ers are for the RP'ers

#

class fantasy and stuff

#

very wholesome choice to keep it a thing

lavish quest
#

I do miss weapons at my hips

rancid granite
#

right? the opposite too

lavish quest
#

But the game won't let me mog the two of staff that mogs at your hip at the same time

#

Reeee

rancid granite
#

there's like 2 1h'ers that hang on your back, looks legit with shield

urban skiff
#

I like the attack speed of SMF but love the look of 2h weapons. It's iconic for fury, no other class in the game can do what fury does

lavish quest
urban skiff
#

They can do both

#

Let us transmog how we please and let us equip either

#

also they should add strength daggers

#

I want that attack speed

wheat jay
#

Mog would be enough

#

There's so many good looking 1h weapons

urban skiff
#

Agreed

#

And if you want to play with them you've got to play as fdk, outlaw, or dh/enh

boreal veldt
#

i'm still curious if they're gonna give fury 2x 2hs for the pvp weapon quest

#

like theres no way right

urban skiff
#

I honestly don't see why not

#

I mean, i get why they wouldn't do it, but arms can't take advantage of having 2x 2h

#

Do other dualwield classes get a weaponset or just a mainhand?

boreal veldt
#

i think they used rogue as an example for getting a pair of daggers

urban skiff
#

Honestly? I think they're going to offer up just a pair of 1hs

lavish quest
urban skiff
#

It kind of does. One will be better than the other. You can equip what you can access and freely transmog as you please. Offhand 2h at super low cost. What issues are left at that point?

rugged temple
#

is it even worth doing any sort of PVP content right now with everyone taking 80% damage reduction from warriors? lol

#

i was wondering why everyone else was doing like 5 times the damage as me in a random BG the other day

#

just saw the pin

is it worth it playing videogames right now

boreal veldt
#

whats the best grass to touch if i want to run arms in prepatch

sharp meteor
rancid granite
#

can somebody tell me if its worth it to touch grass too

#

the weather is nerfed (hot and muggy)

hybrid socket
#

Is war viable in pre patch PvP with the armor scaling right now?

#

I only play war and I feel like there's nothing to do for the next 5 weeks

#

Maybe mess around and try out builds on beta?

#

Get PVE gear to make leveling smoother?

#

Next question

rancid granite
#

whats the best build for tww release?

boreal veldt
copper drum
#

Yeah not a ton of resources understandable as its prepatch. I figured the rotation was enough to get started tho. I take Icy Veins with a grain of salt

rancid granite
#

you can still have fun and practice, maybe do bg's instead

#

or pve or whatever

copper drum
#

Is it cope or is the class just objectively not good in pre patch rn?

rancid granite
#

pre-patch is always imbalanced

#

like armor scaling is in place for tww so less dmg, add in buffs and nerfs constantly etc etc =p

#

bit of cope still

#

i been rockin bg's on warr still

dense herald
rancid granite
#

it's gonna be arms, always

#

spear and demolish them all day long

#

it's gonna bring back old pvp videos; imagine huge slow motion demolish hits and ms crits to Linkin Park

#

it's all about big numbers poppin up on your screen

#

dps meters are dumb

#

fury is for pve

fickle forge

Just get arm pen

peak sedge

fury is for now the best, its tier S (in beta)

boreal veldt

How bad is the armor thing actually? Unplayable

boreal veldt
hybrid socket
#

That was a question not a statement to be clear

#

Haha

boreal veldt
#

haha fair

boreal veldt
#

i've actually been running spiteful serenity in arms for the first time since it became a talent just so my bleeds get faster ticks for longer

hasty pulsar
#

How far into new xpac do previous expansion set pvp transmog become purchasable

hybrid socket
#

Oh interesting. I kind of like the concept of high bleed / utility. It's clear to me that this just really isn't a good time to try and win fights on raw zug zug damage

#

Deathwish can be meme but always feel bad when you take any form of damage

urban skiff
# boreal veldt week one demolish arms gonna go wild

I predict that demolish will be really really good for the first weeks until skillcapped puts out their first video on how to avoid that big hit and then nobody can play demolish because even 1300 players will know how to avoid it.

Looks great on paper, in practice it will feel awkward and you'll spend most of your burst window setting up burst instead of doing burst, which feels bad

every tier list ive seen is so wildly different

wheat jay
#

Real

#

Enh dh and survi are consistently low

hasty pulsar
#

survival seems strong to me? maybe im on a diff planet

wheat jay
#

Seems strong to me

#

Its much more zug zug than before

#

Dmg rotation is simpler but you cant rly slack on it anymore

#

Maybe thats why people suck on it

#

They can't zug properly and they try to make some god tier setups

#

Instead of just blasting dmg

fickle forge
#

Imagine if people played the season for like a week before getting opinions on what's strong and weak

wheat jay
#

That too haha

fierce elm

Artji is saying "That too" when he has been creaming his pants with every patch notes for beta

Cant play well for setups without knowing how to zug

@elfin surge miss this

spice hornet
#

Miss that so much

#

Back when arm was enjoyable

elfin surge
worthy fern
#

@spice hornet it’s wack that they brought spear baseline and not banner after slands

#

Would have taken venth or fae even over spear

sharp meteor
#

Spear made a little more sense and banner fell into the whole cd stacking thing they've been trying to change.

elfin surge
#

i hate roar on arms

sharp meteor
#

If they did conq banner it'd probably be on a node with avatar.

wheat jay
#

On beta keks

fierce elm
#

Should have been Aftershock

worthy fern
#

Roar is mad lame

fierce elm
#

not spear

#

100%

wheat jay
#

Aftershock best ability

#

Fuck anything else

elfin surge
sharp meteor
#

Roar is boring and just gets blinded off by my male human shuffle ret.

worthy fern
#

Aftershock with some new mechanic added though

elfin surge
#

i wanna q kitty on cata q kitty on retail then q kitty in mop

wheat jay
#

Aftershcok already had like 3 diff mechanics to it

#

Knockdown, ground effect, and rage generation

worthy fern
#

It was just rage gen and a knock down that never worked

elfin surge
#

they nerfed shockwave is it even worth playing

#

prob not

worthy fern
#

Would be nice if it interacted with kit

wheat jay
#

Lmao it was on separate dr, it alwats worked xD

elfin surge

2 second stun no way

Fae was good, banner was just better

fierce elm
#

Fae wasnt good

#

lmao

#

But it was fun

worthy fern
#

It hit like a wet noodle

sharp meteor
#

Fae was fun with Druid for vortex. catman

wheat jay
worthy fern
#

And had no cd reduction iirc

fierce elm
#

It had one week where it was good as hell

#

then it sucked ass

wheat jay
#

It was doing big single hit

worthy fern
#

So it was like 1.5 min cd to hit for like one buffed mortal strike

#

It was only good for the rage gen in pve

wheat jay
#

It did hit harder than that, and was good in pve cuz of soulbinds

fierce elm
#

and knockdown

#

I liked it

#

spear SUCKS

wheat jay
#

Knockdown being aoe, and small knockdowns on ticks was good

worthy fern
#

I hated spear then hate it now

fierce elm
#

Give banner or ancient aftershock

wheat jay
#

Aftercock imo

spice hornet
worthy fern
#

Or new new stuff

spice hornet
#

Orchillez death wish stacking with night fae ability 1 shotted mud a few times I recall

wheat jay
#

Just better ability and wouldn't break meta

worthy fern
#

Arms needs some flair

wheat jay
#

XD

#

They added new stuff, it sucks

worthy fern
#

They took dragon roar and made it a dot that’s it

wheat jay
#

There was good stuff before that worked

spice hornet
#

Roar was event knew it was a fury ability in MoP

wheat jay
#

They can add it back

spice hornet
#

Wasn’t new new

Now it’s “thunderous”

Avatar choice node turns it into
Conq banner

#

Ez

#

Other node you fire and start radiating shadow flame damage while avatar is up

#

Being a good dev is so easy why can’t they do it

#

The new blade masters torments gotta be the dumbest shit I’ve ever seen

urban skiff
wheat jay
#

i dont think ppl understand that banner rn would be weak

#

no conduit for meaning no main stat

#

and new balancing would mean itd get nerfed in pvp

worthy fern
#

@wheat jay just make it have mastery and main stat duh

#

Not like they can’t just make it have those things

#

I’d rather blade storm never be worth pressing for damage only

wheat jay
#

cuz it'd make it spiral out of control with oneshots, again

#

like, im down for banner

#

id abuse it myself lol

#

but it'd be weak

#

without all the old modifiers

worthy fern
#

It would still be a worthy choice node if all it did was add mastery and move speed

#

If it was below avatar

#

Combined it with Ava

#

Then make thunderous roar choice nodes ~ 1. No longer a dot but does double dmg, 2. You leech all of the damage done by the dot

#

Revert Spear to 50 percent crit dmg

wheat jay
#

they'll do none of those

#

cuz it would make it broken, sadly

#

troar would be basically a defensive

#

double dmg and no dot, would be disgusting oneshot burst

#

sheesh

hasty pulsar
#

wat u guys normally run wild strikes or endurance training (arms mainly)

urban skiff
#

Making troar a defensive wouldn't be the worst thing to happen to the game: All affect targets are disoriented, and will have 25% chance to whiff any attack

#

Probs wildstrikes

#

I'd go endurance if it were 1 point instead of 2

#

for the full benefit

worthy fern
#

@wheat jay it would make troar hot for the same ap percentage as obliterate I think

#

Hardly a one shot

#

Plus when I say these things think about if it were on a different class and you wouldn’t think twice about it belonging there

wheat jay
#

on 45s cd

worthy fern
#

That’s not what i meant

#

I meant double the inital hit

#

But not have it bleed

wheat jay
#

ohh

#

so 360% ap or so

#

would kinda suck ngl

#

you wouldnt get benefit of increased bleed dmg

#

from all the talents

#

youid need many talents to be redesigned

@wheat jay yea there’s plenty that could be tweaked or maybe a dif route to go with that

if we go for singular big hits

then aftershock would be the way to go

Fury mainhand is 66% of your weapon scaling and the offhand is the other 33%. Together they account for 100% of whatever you're supposed to scale with weapons when raising ilvls

I want to know how many times you actually even use kidney on cd

#

In 20 seconds

worthy fern
#

@hollow citrus dr is 18 seconds iirc

#

Plus it’s often they will kidney another target cs main target etc

wheat jay
#

Kidney 30sec change is good, more time for your walls to come back between rogue goes

#

Hunter can pre feign kidney now every time i guess

limber relic
#

wait wait

#

did they buff

#

kidney to 8s?

wheat jay
#

Wont be 5 kidneys between trinket, but 3

wheat jay
dense herald
# wheat jay Almost never

I mean assa rogues were op df,infinite cc and insane damage,i remember once rogue smoke bombed me,i trinket parry,he restun me the second and duels me,kills me in duel through parry

spice hornet
dense herald
#

I mightve misread

spice hornet
#

Why did like every Druid cc get untouched way back when they made the changes in df

#

Literally

#

It’s like they forgot that class entirely

#

When making those reductions

#

You think turbo and ret war will be best for warrior in tww?

real briar
#

is my bis gear mythic rank better than honor gear?

rancid granite
#

prob not check murlok.io see what other pvpers are usin

sharp meteor
#

cos 528 is same ilev as conq

#

so assuming its not crit its usaully fine/good

#

also 535 ring is sicko

real briar
#

i have raid mythic gear i just started pvp so idk if i should switch to the honor gear for solo and BG

sharp meteor
sharp meteor
#

525-528 > honor

real briar
#

kk low dmg is from skill lol

sharp meteor
#

and = to a lot of conq

#

make sure u have pvp trinkets tho

#

that gives like 12% more mainstat or somethin

My buddy plays warrior what should I level to play with him in tww for 3s push

i didn't know much of the lore at all until i came back and caught up on videos and what not

it's strong for a fortnight in prepatch, shit for 2+ seasons, people complain that it was OP all xpac

if arms cant hit a mortal strike for 50% of someones health its not viable

like the best was, when DK went to blizzcon for the first time in a decade

Nah it’s hyper dog shit

hot solstice

I see evokers blinks next expansion and I wanna quit

craggy cliff

But what can we do deadge

elfin surge
#

pve cleave and spam micro cc is the dumbest version of arena

#

remember when rmp ccd and warriors could disrupt chains

#

now mages stand on your healer to max cleave damage

#

zzzz

hot solstice

do they make shockwave 2sec ?

Yeah even SL was better than what they’ve been doing lately

i dont see value in a 2 second stun

now BFA, there was the toilet zone

SL > DF for pvp gameplay

DF still better than bfa tho

hot solstice

I don’t understand the direction they’re taking it

Just catering to casuals that only shuffle?

That’s gotta be it right

elfin surge
#

blizzard pvp "team" is ran by 1400 battle pet collectors

hot solstice
bright stream
#

Panda/Legion > Slands/Wod (my homies played back then) > cata/DF > BFA I think for me

elfin surge
#

I'm actually really enjoying cata because cata arms actually feels like a pvp spec

bright stream
elfin surge
raw summit
#

also for them

elfin surge
raw summit
#

ie Ziko for pvp casting

bright stream
craggy cliff
#

I don’t think casting is a full time salary job

bright stream
#

I'm also pretty sure you're the first pvp personality that I've heard of having a real job Mud, lol

elfin surge
#

a lot of r1s know balancing before it even happens

#

i hear it all the time that shit gets leaked fast

fossil mortar
#

Mud calling out the system for being corrupt and a leaking ship.

#

More news at 11.

craggy cliff
#

Kinda unusual

bright stream
#

but nah all sillies aside, doesn't really surprise me that the devs aren't engaged in the pvp at a high level in most cases, its niche, and many devs don't even play the games they work on

elfin surge
#

its not really hard to figure out issues within pvp cuz the community is so vocal

bright stream
#

even if you get like 1/20 devs are interested, then you gotta deal with like, 3/4 or more aren't familiar/competent enough to make great choices

elfin surge
#

game breaking issues in pvp take weeks to be fixed or not at all

bright stream
#

there's community figures that have it together

#

but the average pvp player is derranged

elfin surge
#

i think blizzard is letting solo shuffle drive the meta of pvp too much

elfin surge
#

make team 3s great again

bright stream
# elfin surge make team 3s great again

the horse has bolted, the player base has aged and fragmented, and outside of the top end where the networking is strong, most players have very few connections in modern wow

#

there's a reason why exclusively premade teams have not been the only or default implementation in video game matchmaking systems since as far back as TF2

#

its exclusionary and inaccessible

elfin surge
#

yeah idk bruh a lot of bad changes were made just for shuffle

#

healer trinket change

#

cc changes

#

all made pvp worse

#

but tried to improve shuffle experience

bright stream
#

I mean, what you're saying is that it made the 3s experience or your preferred experience worse

#

but it probably made it much better for most players

elfin surge
#

Did it make shuffle any better tho?

#

i feel like s1 df was the best meta of shuffle

bright stream
#

I dunno, pre season 4 I was having a good time in shuffle

elfin surge
#

just kept getting worse

bright stream
#

but in saying that, shuffle is just how I can actually play

#

so

#

maybe not

elfin surge
bright stream
#

3s is dead

wheat jay
#

Im fairly sure without the pvp chamges to trinket, cc and other things shuffle would be more fun

bright stream
#

just cause I dont know if I was around for it

#

what changes are we talking about here

#

with cc/trinket?

bright stream
elfin surge
#

i dont mind shuffle i wish it didnt have a r1 title but i also think just because its more popular it shouldnt control balancing for all of pvp

#

random bgs are more popular than anything if they balanced off those the game wouldnt be playable

bright stream
#

it should have a mount recolour as well

wheat jay
#

So now it's just fuckton of micro cc

dense herald
#

I know how to make the game better rn

dense herald
#

One simple change

#

Make that frost mage root on dr

elfin surge
#

@sharp meteor

#

yo

bright stream
wheat jay
bright stream
#

if it was easy to do, multiple better players would be doing it to a higher rating

wheat jay
#

Fears, stuns, incaps

#

In return everyone got just more separate cc buttons

elfin surge
#

yeah but theres a minimum of 3 spots per spec regardless of how many people play it

wheat jay
#

Easy

bright stream
#

there's loads of duelists and glads kicking around for easy titles

elfin surge
#

No good player plays tank tho

#

you are competing against nobody

bright stream
#

no, no r1 players do

elfin surge
#

and fighting 1800 players

bright stream
#

but glad non r1s do

wheat jay
#

It's called boosting tho

#

Windy the druid got glad playing with lontar and other r1s

elfin surge
#

man i feel so bad for any arms warrior at 1800 getting those 0 healer double prot pal lobbies

dense herald
#

Wolfsmind

#

You are arguing against multi glad

#

Multi r1

#

5 rank 1s in s2 shadowlands

wheat jay
#

And he still breaks all the cc in the world deadge

bright stream
dense herald
sharp meteor
#

What's being argued about

dense herald
#

Solo shuffle ruined 3s

sharp meteor
#

Kind of ya

#

low-mid mmr no reas to play 2s or 3s

#

when shuff spits out all the rewards for free

dense herald
#

And rewards

sharp meteor
#

It giving generic rewards was bad imo

#

cos then people just go to easiest bracket to get rewards in

#

why be 1900 3s when i could be 2500 shuff

dense herald
#

3s is a dead bracket cause of ss

sharp meteor
#

Idk if I'd really consider it dead

#

like 2s is actually kind of dead above like duelistish

dense herald
#

2s is a dead bracket and its far from 3s so ig ur right

sharp meteor
#

3s has dragon and title keeping it competitive

dense herald
sharp meteor
#

shuff just has a billion bodies cos

#

free rival-elite

dense herald
#

I got like 2.3

sharp meteor
#

ya had that sl too

#

depending on queues and mmr

#

just 50-50 the same 2 teams all night

#

cos nobody else at whatever mmr

bright stream
sharp meteor
#

keeping the prot dream alive

#

because there's a reason to

#

what stinks is no spec based rewards until literal top 3-5 or so region

dense herald
bright stream
#

you're bad at reading

dense herald
elfin surge
#

tanks should be banned from arena

#

they provide nothing

dense herald
#

And that they should get r1 at 1.8k rating

#

They should make r1 only to players above 2.4k

dense herald
#

A bit of rating for when they go 0-6

#

You gi 4-2

bright stream
elfin surge
sharp meteor
sharp meteor
#

because prot pala lobby is legit just 1 guy wintrading himself and anybody who pays him

bright stream
sharp meteor
#

ya friend originally got into playing prot to deny him potentially getting title and he deleted his char

bright stream
#

kinda surprised he's not the posterboy of this discord given its track record of intellectual opinions

sharp meteor
#

so now he appears for like 2 weeks every year when classic launchesd new expac hyping it then quits again

bright stream
sharp meteor
#

oh well that gave me the idea for my project in s2

#

cos i had nothing to do

#

wonder if blitz spec based

bright stream
sharp meteor
#

seems to work exactly like shuff in regards to like specs and stuff so

thick reef

Yeah but Bloodthirst heals more because it hits harder

Wait. Prot get Colossus

ivory dagger
#

Why does an entire third of the game "not belong" in pvp

lavish quest
#

Yes, but that board better be attached to a big rock to make it a 2h mace

ivory dagger
#

Bro I hate dh tanks too but come on now

lavish quest
#

Tanks are not a third of the game

ivory dagger
#

Tanks are in fact a third of the games balance and design

cinder thorn
#

I'm away from home I'll try it tomorrow or day after

lavish quest
#

They are 1/3 of available roles and that's it

ivory dagger
#

Sure whatever fine

#

I think being 1/3rd of the roles is pretty much enough but I don't wanna argue those semantics I wanna know why you think tanks just bar none don't belong in pvp

fickle forge
#

Does no damage and doesn't die

#

Brings nothing to the game except dampening

lavish cloud
#

it's because the game in general is in such a poor state for pvp and is already one dimensional in general (3v3 arena with 0 objectives), so introducing pure support classes like aug or tank just expose the fact of

#

those roles just dont fit in the game design of pvp arena

#

they fit in something like mobas or 5v5s or anything surrounding objectives, but not just pure arena mode

rancid granite
#

turtling is just objectively the worst pvp strat/meta since always and forever

#

im ok with them in bg's since objectives

lavish cloud
#

there were some tank comps in wrath and they weren't extremely aids to play against but it was still fairly annoying

rancid granite
#

remember the good ol og AV games everyone just decides to turtle? awful

lavish cloud
#

but back then the game was designed with pvp in mind

fickle forge
#

Tanks in BGs is okay

#

But tanks in arena is awful

#

Sure miss SL prot pala or BFA guardian meta when we'd go to 90% damp before something died

#

Game began at 8 min in

#

Tanks in wpvp are war criminals

Anyone know where fury stands post balancing tomorrow on prepatch?

charred shadow
#

Hello All, just curious, in Pre-Patch I am currently running Arms as I've always loved it, but is Fury currently better in Random BGs and Blitz? Or will either work?

lavish quest
rancid granite
#

try em both out see what you like more

charred shadow
#

I've always loved Arms in PvP and only did Fury if it was substantially better.

#

Begrudgingly if you will.

rancid granite
#

same; but after forcing myself to try out fury it actually turned out to be pretty fun

#

i'm still an arms fanboy though but it's fun to swap sometimes for fun

cinder thorn
#

There is no difference effectively between healers and tanks except healers fill a bar and tanks mitigate the damage to said bar

fierce elm
#

So in that case DPS has no spot in pvp really

#

and it should be tank only lmao

cinder thorn
#

So if you think tanks don't belong because they slow game down so do healers, remove healers and have shitty fast matches

fierce elm
#

Tanks should never be good in arena

#

Who am I to disallow someone to play Guardian

#

but Guardian should never be good

#

And anyone who has played the game while Tanks were good in arena will agree

#

because any time there is some sort of tank thats 'meta' its absolutely aids

#

for EVERYONE

cinder thorn
#

You're making statements with no justification

If you don't want tanks to be good because they drag game to dampening so do healers

So healers shouldn't be good either according to your logic

Then by same logic no one will play healer or tank because they're not good and everyone rolls dps then you have lightning matches and people complain matches ending too fast

Then they start giving dps more healing abilities and bigger health pool or lower damage and people cry about that

The lesson here is to have every class viable and let people have fun how they want

fierce elm
#

So we should remove every spec except for tank

#

I never said disallow tanks lmao

#

There are just certain things that arent good for the overall health of PvP

#

Tanks are pretty good in BGs and needed in most of them and thats fine

#

But they just kill the pace in 2v2 and 3v3

#

to absurd levels

cinder thorn
#

So do healers

fierce elm
#

we are talking 60-70%+ dampening before we can even start playing the game

#

Yes, and when healers are extremely strong and damage output is low it's also damaging to PvP health

cinder thorn
#

You're repeating the same point instead of understanding

fierce elm
#

There shouldn't be the case of matches being 10+ minutes, if that is either because a tank is meta or because damage output is low or because healing is so fucking high

#

It's just not fun to play for majority of pvpers

#

to sit and slog through long ass games

#

especially when 2s and 3s are +10-16

#

Play for an hour to get 100 rating lets GO

wheat jay
fierce elm
#

It's just that tanks just have no other win condition

wheat jay
#

3-4min is perfect game length

fierce elm
#

Tanks win condition is usually drag stuff out entirely

wheat jay
#

closer to 3 id say actually

fierce elm
#

and rely on survivability to win when close to high dampening

cinder thorn
#

Tanks win condition is same as healer and dps

Make team last longer than other team

fierce elm
#

Outdamp the other team

#

its different

cinder thorn
#

The team that last longer wins

fierce elm
#

its way different than saying 'last longer'

#

Because your entire gameplan relies on dampening the other team

#

which means your team is quite literally made for 10+ minute games

#

which is not FUN for anyone but those teams

cinder thorn
#

Are you failing to recognise that tanks and healers and even defensive cooldowns have the same function

fierce elm
#

so you would be severely dragging down the enjoyment

#

ARE YOU READING WHAT I AM WRITING

#

AT ALL

#

ARE YOU READING THAT I SAID "IT DOESNT MATTER IF ITS HEALERS OR TANKS"

cinder thorn
#

Using caps won't make people listen to you more btw

fierce elm
#

I mean are you going to read what I am saying

#

or read like 10% of it and then make up your mind about a single point

#

if that is the case then so be it lmao

cinder thorn
#

Dude, if you agree with me then why are you arguing?

#

Just say you agree instead of making pages of text
