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
Yes when I use SMF it's less dps
They need to buff that talent until its loss is compensated
so the problem is that they want it to be bad
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
Yes but what's the point of including that talent
They did this when they released DK with frost using 2x1h and removed it
you walk faster
basically no upside
is why I said, it's essentially a mobility talent for me
bro
between frenzied enrage, SMF, and fast footwork we can have a base movement speed at 120% when enraged
120%
movement speed is a good stat
sadly not worth stat loss here
wish smf was competitive i had these big meme ass 2hs
I think they're closer than we think, in pvp
The SMF tax used to be 2 talent points, it's 1 now
I don't know about that.
If you wanted to dw just play frost dk
if I can find room for meatcleaver then I can find room for SMF
You're paying a talent point to do less damage and have fewer stats.
with SMF you can transmog artifact weapons to still look like 2h
and it looks way better because of the swing speed and higher haste
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
Titan's Grip is truly one of the stupidest looking things in the game, especially as a Gnome.
I ain't saying SMF is the best. I just think they're way closer here in prepatch than they've ever been
it is prepatch tho
I remember being curious and simming and the gap was like 5% output
Everyone’s stats are gonna be high
those sims are using pve damage modifiers
Doesn't matter.
I really wish they’d make another Warcraft movie
There is zero realistic upside to SMF.
movement speed, higher enrage uptime
So we can potentially see a gnome warrior dual wielding 2 handers
And watch him drag them on the ground
I wish whomever made the D&D movie made the next warcraft movie.
It wasn’t bad tho
Or controversial opinion, taiki waitikigtiakiiki should head it
^ D&D movie was same vibes
D&D movie was absolute perfection
I really liked the Warcraft movie
warcraft + D&D + youtube recap of the story is perfect prep for TWW lol
Holy shit
The only thing I didn’t like was the garona storyline
just realized I've been going into blitz with 515 weapons
I do 100k less dps on dummy with smf
Mine was the same every time i tried, over 2 minutes
And that's competing with leggo + asskander
I'm working on it
I guess it wasn't a very clinical test though
I was comparing powerful to frenzied as well
So SMF + frenzied and regular + powerful
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
1h'ers are for the RP'ers
class fantasy and stuff
very wholesome choice to keep it a thing
I do miss weapons at my hips
right? the opposite too
But the game won't let me mog the two of staff that mogs at your hip at the same time
Reeee
there's like 2 1h'ers that hang on your back, looks legit with shield
or just add a 2h with the offhand tag that costs like 200 conq
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
I don't mean balancing conq lol
I mean for ending 1h vs 2h mess forever
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
Agreed
And if you want to play with them you've got to play as fdk, outlaw, or dh/enh
i'm still curious if they're gonna give fury 2x 2hs for the pvp weapon quest
like theres no way right
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?
i think they used rogue as an example for getting a pair of daggers
Honestly? I think they're going to offer up just a pair of 1hs
That doesn't fix iasue
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?
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
Well I guess they could do that and it would unofficially kill off SMF so we can just have a dead talent aside from old raid runs if we sac 2 bag slots lol
U still stack anti heal so if you are with a caster or fdk you pretty much win if you don’t die
play 4 fun not super competition in prepatch =p
missing her (conq banner and mortal combo)
nah check back on tuesday or whenever expac ships
is it worth it playing videogames right now
whats the best grass to touch if i want to run arms in prepatch
ya bugs haven't been sent back to hell yet
can somebody tell me if its worth it to touch grass too
the weather is nerfed (hot and muggy)
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?
Iron straws, preferably if they weight at least 1pl8 and are stackable
Get berserker buff and youre doing normal damage
Im doing good dmg as fury for some reason
Just got back into retail afters years of a break. Trying out Arms warr in arena. I feel like I do zero damage, am I doing something wrong??? I am following the basic rotation decribed here: https://www.icy-veins.com/wow/arms-warrior-pvp-guide
You won't be doing damage in pvp until expac release
🫡
Yes, you're playing prepatch
Next question
whats the best build for tww release?
Also that guide says Intervene redirects spells which is a flat out lie
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
Is it cope or is the class just objectively not good in pre patch rn?
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
Whats the best build for midnight s2
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
Prepatch
You're hitting into 70% armor
Just get arm pen
fury is for now the best, its tier S (in beta)
week one demolish arms gonna go wild
never gon catch me running fury in pvp outside of deathwish shenanigans
class it not good always reroll rogue
How bad is the armor thing actually? Unplayable
god no it's not unplayable lol
haha fair
it's perfectly playable, we're running high bleed and utility builds, or fury has the option of deathwish
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
How far into new xpac do previous expansion set pvp transmog become purchasable
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
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
For more news, subscribe to fury and play the chad spec
Immediately on launch I believe the previous expansion pvp gear gets turned into marks of honor purchases
for fury warrior, how important is it to upgrade the offhand weapon when gearing up?
is it just a stat stick?
Is arms or fury the way to go in solo bgs
Half as important as upgrading your mainhand. mainhand is 66% of your weapon budget and offhand is 33%
Thanks!
You guys jump in arenas 2vs2 for conquest cap direcly after full honor geared?
Right now or when season starts?
right now
you jump into w.e bracket
cant decide what to play in pvp, arms or fury 😛
Fury is apparently op on beta
What coffee brand for arms TWW S3 guys?
odins dot isnt bleed right?
Random guess cause I haven't fury'd often, but isn't fire dmg or something?
it was in legion
but "class fantasy" made it "phys damage over time"
thats why asking
I didn't know. I can't help you sorry.
Me monke who presses dmg buttons
U use wirldwind in pvp as fury?
only to get ppl of stealth
do u guys think 3mil gold is safe to buy out arcanite reaper?
Any cool macros for fury in pvp
nothing except for charge harmstring
#showtooltip
/cast Avatar
/cast Recklessness
/cast [@player] Champion's Spear
lil tip...try to have separate avatar bind
so u can use it as root braker
but mostly yeah, u want to send it with reck cause that odins furry
any way to add odins fury there?
what for?
to pop cds 😄
I prefer to send odins when dot from the previous expires
ah, shud i buy 2x wep with conquest first or 1x wep and rest for tier set
Reck avatar roar is a bad macro?
I also use charge/intervene/victory rush macro
no I just mean sometimes u want to avatar just to break root
Yeah thats true
get weapons first, conq gain so fast now anyways
mail me one i need the nostalgia
or maybe i'll farm the spinal reaper; i WON it with my first guild and they still gave it to some other doofus and ive never gotten over it
If I need to cleave, ye
Unless there's a horde of pets cause they'll just soak it then
look at what they did to my boy
so what the deal with the changes tomorrow
Fury is D tier (the devs mustnt see fury being good)
survival seems strong to me? maybe im on a diff planet
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
Imagine if people played the season for like a week before getting opinions on what's strong and weak
That too haha
Artji is saying "That too" when he has been creaming his pants with every patch notes for beta
OH MY GOSH GUYS SURVIVAL 10TH REWORK LOOKS INSANE ON BETA GUYS
Real
Ey gotta be excited for something
Not gonna be excited about doing phone calls at work smh
kinda wild prot warr gonna do bigger execute than arms lmao
Zugging is what takes the real big brains
Why EU inferior

Gotta know how to zug to do setups
Cant play well for setups without knowing how to zug
Cuz once you do setup, you're zuggin'
blizzard hates arms
Good thing we fury mains now
Wait they actually made Mud stormforged? 💀💀💀
MUD gave them the sloppy toppy
He must’ve turned into a furry
arms is doomed
Idk if he fell off hard enough to grow a tail.
the fuck
lmao
MUD more like CRUD
Kul'tiran is low tier just like Arms
afro will coach him
nah kultiran is top tier
100%
you are big
you got the powerbelly
I cant coach someone who can barely get out of his DXracer gaming chair
Mud resurfaced in the warrior discord when Dekel disappeared
Mid confirmed scared of his rival
Did his ahk break
auto hotkey
It’s a fury angle for TWW yet again sadly
Dekel broke Muds nuts
idk what happen to dekel he suddenly stopped streaming and stopped playing cata and his character has disappeared from the ladder
oh i know there was one guy on retail with same shit
then he reappeared with glad 
hilarious shit
suk my nut
Mud Val’Kyr when?
when he quits wow
Make mud a Val’Kyr
mud gonna get sf and valkyr in his first year
I didnt even try to get SF
What does sf do again
were you?
what an honor

were you a pin bot tho
mad
No I refused to work
real
afro did the answering
kargish did the botting
now afro is doing the same shit, but without golden plate
I dont answer
I guide people to the answer
by telling them to use google like a human being
Cataclysm Classic is home
That’s all it does but it took 3+ years or so of asking the mods to make mud a SF so we had some PvP representation and they still wouldnt

lmao
Cata arms is so fun
MUD hates the game
🤮
Once they make arms great again on retail mud is dropping cata classic
TSG 📈
@elfin surge miss this
thats what the wrath babies say
@spice hornet it’s wack that they brought spear baseline and not banner after slands
Would have taken venth or fae even over spear
Spear made a little more sense and banner fell into the whole cd stacking thing they've been trying to change.
i hate roar on arms
If they did conq banner it'd probably be on a node with avatar.
Should have been Aftershock
Roar is mad lame
REAL
Aftershock best ability
Fuck anything else

Roar is boring and just gets blinded off by my male human shuffle ret.
Aftershock with some new mechanic added though
i wanna q kitty on cata q kitty on retail then q kitty in mop
Aftershcok already had like 3 diff mechanics to it
Knockdown, ground effect, and rage generation
It was just rage gen and a knock down that never worked
Would be nice if it interacted with kit
Lmao it was on separate dr, it alwats worked xD
2 second stun no way
We’re not going to sit here and pretend fae was ever good in PvP
Doodoo tree
Would need something cooler to be cool
Fae was good, banner was just better
It hit like a wet noodle
Fae was fun with Druid for vortex. 
Cap
And had no cd reduction iirc
It was doing big single hit
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
It did hit harder than that, and was good in pve cuz of soulbinds
Knockdown being aoe, and small knockdowns on ticks was good
I hated spear then hate it now
Give banner or ancient aftershock
Aftercock imo
Mud washed now he can only play in classic ladder
Or new new stuff
Orchillez death wish stacking with night fae ability 1 shotted mud a few times I recall
Just better ability and wouldn't break meta
Arms needs some flair
They took dragon roar and made it a dot that’s it
There was good stuff before that worked
Roar was event knew it was a fury ability in MoP
They can add it back
Wasn’t new new
Dragon roar
In the ability
Imagine you lose dragon ability
Where’s the thunder blizzard
In DRAGONflight
dragon deez nuts ability
I’d rather have dragon roar actually since it auto crit iirc
was for arms too
Used to have a like tiny knock back too
I don't remember that being a thing
yeah had a small knockback
They should have just brought back venth Arms play style and heavily invested into the executioners tree
Jsut slam fat executes and Ms
Zero bleeds
So the most boring shit ever?
Both in pve and pvp
It was fun in pvp when condemn was charging you
Reminder that Artji plays survival and doesnt play warrior
I do every season tho
I alt it
Both in pve and pvp
You play ret only now
Reminder that Artjis highest XP on warr is 2k
Yep
Missing @galachad
Building up a fat mortal strike is fun to me as long as the buildup is worth it
Galachad is busy crying about survi with bicmex now
I’m prob just going to pick a class off spin wheel to play
Cause nothing is exciting to me
make dragon roar initial hit really hard and knock everything then itll be cool
combine droar with intim shout
and the knockback
boring problems need cool solutions
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
change avatar to a choice node between avatar and like the most beefed up bladestorm you ever saw
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
@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
and they wont
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
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
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
wat u guys normally run wild strikes or endurance training (arms mainly)
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
@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
would be 720% if you got normal dmg + dot and doubled it as single hit
on 45s cd
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
im full honor, bought a conquest wep, should i buy 1 more as fury or go for set
@wheat jay yea there’s plenty that could be tweaked or maybe a dif route to go with that
if you can get your hands on the strife weapon, get that
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
witch one is strife wep, im talking pre patch
this currency
costs 14 strife, unfortunately they took the strife token away from the shop. We used to be able to spend honor to buy strife
this what one of the strife weapons looks like
so i cant buyt it
probably not, no
weekly quest that gives them awards 8
Seeing how I already have a 1h i might as well pick up a second and try seeing how much fun SMF is
just got absolutely melted by assa rogue
so 2x weps with cnquest before set?
if you do strife before reset you ccan do it after reset and have enough for the offhand
I forgot we have another reset before TWW
well
RIP
8sec stun gentlemen
you can just /afk when you get kicked
unless there's big pvp modifier xD
ok good good
Such little faith in Blizz that you would actually believe they’d raise it to 8 in pvp
imagine stacking that with oppressive roar
@limber relic my man no one is playing the game right now
Wouldn’t worry about mmr too much at the moment
0 faith in blizz
wish they'd put war banner on our back
Can't hide it out of Los then
cause youre the banner
wanna kill banner, kill me
i'm just sayin this cause conq banner was on our back in SL, so why not just give that design to War Banner?

pick the AoE talents
I saw pikaboo crying about 30s
Warriors have 3s stun on 30s cd
We can barely get off like 3 globals
In that stun
he made a 30min video about the 30s hahaha
like its so boring
When rogues complain
Theyre the strongest class
They have so much cc and peel
I want to know how many times you actually even use kidney on cd
In 20 seconds
@hollow citrus dr is 18 seconds iirc
Plus it’s often they will kidney another target cs main target etc
Almost never
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
Wont be 5 kidneys between trinket, but 3
Pve only
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
Stormbolt shouldn’t have been reduced during the cc changes imo
Shockwave got nerfed aswell i think,its now reduced by 1s in pvp again and if u take the talent its 3s instead of 4
I mightve misread
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?
is my bis gear mythic rank better than honor gear?
what gear
cos 528 is same ilev as conq
so assuming its not crit its usaully fine/good
also 535 ring is sicko
i have raid mythic gear i just started pvp so idk if i should switch to the honor gear for solo and BG
in the end you want a bit of each stat and assuming same ilev it doesn't matter
conquest maybe honor no
525-528 > honor
kk low dmg is from skill lol
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
Prot pvp still going on?
I mean it got a 30% aura buff on top of more ability buffs
And the removal of the pvp only nerfs
It technically lost some survivability but tbh you still aren't going to be focused if they are intelligent
Unless your vers is low and your crit is high, then no, the mythic ilvl would be better
But I know arms pve loves crit so that may be an issue
He plays without addons so he's going to feel that change for a long time. The old cooldown is probably hardcoded on his spine now
Prot gonna remind everyone why they had reduced damage in pvp soon
Swifty oneshots
Big time. And not just because i launch everyone off ledges with dragon charge
what the sigma
ERM WHAT THE SIGMA???!??!?!??11?!???!11
how are warriors doing in beta
good
fury the way to go?
yes
i am a man of many talents
and many traits
one of them is honesty
That's an interesting gif
lmao real
ngl
this gif made me think
i should stop playing 20 yr old games
and just roll with whatever new comes out
savour all the fun
y
I have slightly dipping into deep rock. Tis good
ye i did that with helldivers
got all the fun
left
didnt do that with first descendant
was apparently fun
Same with hell divers
i do that in warframe too
Would go back, just not solo
same
I'd say join me sometime, but expac about to drop
how come in solo shuffel so many playing with pve geaer in pre patch
thats a thing?
You at 1200 mmr? Or they wearing mythic pve?
can do at some point
or when new stuff drops
i dunno
mythic pve
cuz its same ilvl
fully upgraded pve mythic gear is same ilvl as conq pvp gear
half of my hunter gear was pve too
pve is for nerds
Prob when new stuff drops. Ima have stuff to do for a hot minute
ye ;D
Why ain't you pve'ing then?
shut up noob
can't wait for tww pve
dealing more with the giant ass sword sticking out of the planet
and dealing with some hot goth chick xal'atath
i didn't know much of the lore at all until i came back and caught up on videos and what not
the sword was only jabbed into the earth because the earth is a giant egg with what would be the most powerful titan around so they were afraid
Yo, how did this dood get SF?
titans, the old gods, aka lovecraftian beings
and then there's spaceships and shit things are wild; crazy lore, cant wait
🤓
isnt arms getting nerfed today
buff to fury
ngl
if fury and feral stay s tier
after release
you can just play with uglybaldbaby again
and get 15 r1 spots with your team
not so much lol
Isn't arms getting nerfed every day?
Guys im going insane
do they make any sales on expansion release?
too real
you will not buy wawi discounted around launch
and keep in mind u also lose tiersets extra 15% on mortal
I meant services: rename etc
this is pretty old im fairly sure
Well I was kinda surprised to see arms at A-tier from lot of streamers after all the nerfs
im mainly a pve frog so i forgot about these ngl 
havent they already applied these changes on prepatch start?
uhm these are for 11.0.2, same notes as MS/OP descrease
this is for today right
When warrior is F tier, people say it's A tier.
When it's C tier people say it's S tier
This is the way
awful changes lol
all classes got nerfs to their self healing
Blizz wants you to stop playing arms
ah miss sl s2 when I could b8 shit from ppl only buy pressing bolt+banner and oneshot them with bolt+swifty in 30 sec
and 16% versa from druid
they do the same for dk
well new sudden doom is kinda op
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
Kinda feels like they want that for everyone ngl
like the best was, when DK went to blizzcon for the first time in a decade
and people insisted it was blizzards fav class, had been op for years, s+ tier
yeah cuz m+ arena is fun kap
meanwhile MES is on fucking life support and suicide watch at the same time
Nah it’s hyper dog shit
u cant be pad bot if u cant stay on ppl
I see evokers blinks next expansion and I wanna quit
But what can we do 
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
do they make shockwave 2sec ?
eh RMx hasn't been a meaningful CC comp in years
ya shockwave without colossus is dead prob
Yeah even SL was better than what they’ve been doing lately
i dont see value in a 2 second stun
Slands had some bangers
now BFA, there was the toilet zone
and they way to get wreaking throw...simply wasting 2 points
id much rather shadowlands 321 instant triple cc meta over DF
fire mages doing everyones damage x2

I skipped season 4 tbh
at least sl warrior could just murder someone in cds
had IRL MMR to grind
neco fury run over some idiot 
was fire mage cracked pre-s4? I don't remember it
the best feeling was to play with necro druid to buff u 16% versa every min so once in ur life u could feel being supported and not be a support for some meta dps
I don’t understand the direction they’re taking it
def the worst seasons I've ever played for sure
blizzard pvp "team" is ran by 1400 battle pet collectors
1000* they nerfed rating requirement for that seasonal mount
Panda/Legion > Slands/Wod (my homies played back then) > cata/DF > BFA I think for me
I'm actually really enjoying cata because cata arms actually feels like a pvp spec
to be fair, being good at PvP is usually incompatible with having a career/job
unless u die in pre wall
a lot of old r1s and awc players work at blizzard
also for them
shield wall is 60%
ie Ziko for pvp casting
other than casters/media personalities, I don't think I've heard of anyone who is a 'known' entity in pvp working for them
I don’t think casting is a full time salary job
I'm also pretty sure you're the first pvp personality that I've heard of having a real job Mud, lol
i know a few who have connections with the pvp team
a lot of r1s know balancing before it even happens
i hear it all the time that shit gets leaked fast

The other day some random posted rogue buffs in RH like a week before changes were posted
Kinda unusual
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
its not really hard to figure out issues within pvp cuz the community is so vocal
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
game breaking issues in pvp take weeks to be fixed or not at all
nah, the wow pvp community is on average, one of the dumbest groups of incoherent morons on the planet
there's community figures that have it together
but the average pvp player is derranged
i think blizzard is letting solo shuffle drive the meta of pvp too much
Malcom in the Middle- Lois' Makeover (S3 E10)
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
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
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
I dunno, pre season 4 I was having a good time in shuffle
just kept getting worse
lowest pvp participation in wow history excluding classic wow seasons
is that in 3s though?
3s is dead
Im fairly sure without the pvp chamges to trinket, cc and other things shuffle would be more fun
just cause I dont know if I was around for it
what changes are we talking about here
with cc/trinket?
also, pretty sure the game was doing this pre-shuffle which is part of what led to shuffle being included in the first place
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
nah that's a silly take, there's no reasonable justification other than gatekeeping to exclude it from having a distinct title
it should have a mount recolour as well
Trinket for healer on shorter cd, plenty of new cc added to classes, but duration reduced by like 1-2s each
So now it's just fuckton of micro cc
I know how to make the game better rn
shockwave, but what else?
yeah i love tanks getting the same title as me at 1800
@sharp meteor
yo
its % based, the 1800 rating really doesn't mean anything in this context other than thats as high as a bad spec can take you
Every class things
if it was easy to do, multiple better players would be doing it to a higher rating
yeah but theres a minimum of 3 spots per spec regardless of how many people play it
They just play better, achieve same results with less effort
Easy
literally isn't relevant, if its top 3, the rating doesnt matter, it goes to the 3 best. If Joey Prot war is number 1 in the world at 1800 rating, and no one 'better' has gone higher, its because he's actually pushing it to the limit
there's loads of duelists and glads kicking around for easy titles
no, no r1 players do
and fighting 1800 players
but glad non r1s do
man i feel so bad for any arms warrior at 1800 getting those 0 healer double prot pal lobbies
:3
Wolfsmind
You are arguing against multi glad
Multi r1
5 rank 1s in s2 shadowlands
And he still breaks all the cc in the world 
yes, he's wrong
Hes not
What's being argued about
Solo shuffle ruined 3s
Kind of ya
low-mid mmr no reas to play 2s or 3s
when shuff spits out all the rewards for free
How solo shuffle shouldnt have r1
And rewards
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
3s is a dead bracket cause of ss
Idk if I'd really consider it dead
like 2s is actually kind of dead above like duelistish
2s is a dead bracket and its far from 3s so ig ur right
3s has dragon and title keeping it competitive
At 2.2k in s4 i was facing the same 3-4 teams
I got like 2.3
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
no, I was disagreeing on if it matters, and the titles
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
U were saying how tanks should be in arena
no, I was saying that the raw numbers dont matter
you're bad at reading
You said good tanks get r1
And that they should get r1 at 1.8k rating
They should make r1 only to players above 2.4k
They provide 1 thing
A bit of rating for when they go 0-6
You gi 4-2
yeah I dont mind if they get banned, is that prot war stooge on the forums still around all these years later?
until you get prot pal lobbies as arms
agreed undertuned buff tanks
imo prot paladins should be slotted in as other tanks (dps with a limit of 1)
because prot pala lobby is legit just 1 guy wintrading himself and anybody who pays him
abomb?
thats the one
ya friend originally got into playing prot to deny him potentially getting title and he deleted his char
kinda surprised he's not the posterboy of this discord given its track record of intellectual opinions
so now he appears for like 2 weeks every year when classic launchesd new expac hyping it then quits again
lol, alright I lied earlier, sometimes the pvp comunity is absolutely wholesome
oh well that gave me the idea for my project in s2
cos i had nothing to do
wonder if blitz spec based
think supa said it's not but that dude needs some adderall or something, he's basically climbing up the walls adhd
seems to work exactly like shuff in regards to like specs and stuff so
Yeah but Bloodthirst heals more because it hits harder
My healer when he has Bodyguard up (melee hate this)
Wait. Prot get Colossus

Charge > Fear (they trinket) > Pop every CD > Demolish
Ez
I would love to play prot but a week or so I tried it again and it was trash
I'm looking forward to it being viable I love pvp with tank but not as it has been last few years
You played it without a 30% Aura buff and further buffs
He played it with self respect. That's the issue
Tanks don't belong in PvP, nuke them
-80% aura on all their shit
Little bro is about to get mogged by some fuck with a board on his arm
Why does an entire third of the game "not belong" in pvp
Bro I hate dh tanks too but come on now
Tanks are not a third of the game
Tanks are in fact a third of the games balance and design
I'm away from home I'll try it tomorrow or day after
They are in fact not. 20% of a dung group. Less of most raids. They are not 1/3 of specs.
They are 1/3 of available roles and that's it
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
Cause it's garbage, a tank does nothing but slow the game down
Does no damage and doesn't die
Brings nothing to the game except dampening
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
turtling is just objectively the worst pvp strat/meta since always and forever
im ok with them in bg's since objectives
there were some tank comps in wrath and they weren't extremely aids to play against but it was still fairly annoying
remember the good ol og AV games everyone just decides to turtle? awful
but back then the game was designed with pvp in mind
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?
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?
Because they're not designed for it? Regardless if game has tanks or not, not sure why that means they must be in pvp by divine right.
either will work
try em both out see what you like more
I've always loved Arms in PvP and only did Fury if it was substantially better.
Begrudgingly if you will.
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
I disagree because healers also slow the game down, they do same damage and bring nothing except dampening
If you argue healers are necessary because they keep healers alive longer so they can have fun then same logic applies to tank
There is no difference effectively between healers and tanks except healers fill a bar and tanks mitigate the damage to said bar
So if you think tanks don't belong because they slow game down so do healers, remove healers and have shitty fast matches
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
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
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
So do healers
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
You're repeating the same point instead of understanding
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
assuming you win every game 
It's just that tanks just have no other win condition
3-4min is perfect game length
Tanks win condition is usually drag stuff out entirely
closer to 3 id say actually
and rely on survivability to win when close to high dampening
Tanks win condition is same as healer and dps
Make team last longer than other team
The team that last longer wins
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
Are you failing to recognise that tanks and healers and even defensive cooldowns have the same function
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"
Using caps won't make people listen to you more btw
