#

However if you can get your damage numbers up to what you should, you are going to win more games

#

Sometimes, sometimes not

#

But you are once more trying to backflip without being able to stand

true tiger
#

what was the addon name that shows defensive or offensive cooldown on enemys icon?

fierce elm
#

Learn how to deal damage and pressure before worrying about your teammates as fury

#

You bring very little in terms of peel anyways

sour crag
#

Right, I think that kind of indecisiveness is what keeps stunning myself mentally.

fierce elm
#

Deal damage, win games

#

you arent playing a spec that has great peel either way

sour crag
#

I'm still too used thinking as Arms

fierce elm
#

Arms doesnt have great peel either

#

Warrior is deal big damage prio

sour crag
#

Right, so deal more damage. I need to relearn how the fury rotation works then.

#

Tips are welcome

#

what am I better against, DH or Feral?

fierce elm
#

DH sucks so you wont face that a lot

wheat jay
#

dh youre never gonna see lmao

sour crag
#

Well they keep popping up in my matches

wheat jay
#

worst shit in the game

fickle forge
#

You can have a VoD of a shuffle I did in DF on my alt warr if it helps you

wheat jay
#

you should NUKE every dh

north thicket
sour crag
#

ok, feral or beast?

north thicket
#

But it's not supported timely :(((

fierce elm
#

About hunter

#

You aint killing it and you aint gonna have uptime

sour crag
#

feral keeps tanking being a teddybear tho

fierce elm
#

Yeah

#

Which stops clone spam

#

But you aint killing hunter

fickle forge
#

If a hunter has all 5 fingers, then he ain't dying

#

Only @wheat jay will die

#

Because he refuses to press turtle until 1% and then dies to DoTs in turtle

sour crag
#

clone spam?

north thicket
#

feral is cycloning your healer on DR cd if you havent noticed

sour crag
#

oh, clone as in cyclone

#

you guys have to be a bit more clear with me 😄

north thicket
sour crag
#

I don't even know what demonsurge is lel

wheat jay
#

how you gonna run from demonsurge when its aoe from his rotation when he's in demon?

#

how the fuck you gonna run from that

#

run from meta overall i guess?

fickle forge
#

I saw Artji getting farmed by a sub rogue on his DH yd

wheat jay
#

of course lol

#

its sub and i play dh

#

i pre-blur his go and he 100-0 me

#

fuck you on about kargish xD

north thicket
#

but demonsurge is limited aoe range or

fierce elm
#

Imagine dying to sub

fickle forge
#

Imagine losing to sub smh smh

fierce elm
north thicket
#

(asking stupid questions, I have no insight in dhs)

#

ok

sour crag
#

OH, SPEAKING OF!
Could people please tell me the difference between Sub and Assa rogues, and what I should bear in mind if I face both in arena at the same time?

fierce elm
#

Sub rogue is gonna try to one shot you

#

In a stun

#

assa will bleed everyone down

#

Save trinket for sub when he duels you then go insta parry

wheat jay
fierce elm
#

Dont trinket SHIT before sub duels you

wheat jay
#

or bombs you

fickle forge
#

He's fury warr

north thicket
#

aha

fickle forge
#

He can just press wall in stun and be fine

sour crag
#

Duel as in when I get surrounded by fog and it's just me and the rogue?

wheat jay
#

so nice that i can use warrior swords on dh mog keks

fierce elm
#

Yes, thats the only time sub is dangerous

#

Literallt the only time

fierce elm
sour crag
#

So if I face both Assa and Sub, I should prioritise on Sub?

fierce elm
#

Assa is gonna do 40 million dps

#

You can hit either there

fickle forge
#

You can also just do /laugh at him in duel because he's a sub rogue and can't kill you

wheat jay
fierce elm
#

they have the same defensives

fickle forge
wheat jay
#

he can die through

fierce elm
#

Either way, sub is dangerous in duel

wheat jay
#

^

fierce elm
#

assa just does a ton of rot

#

Hit either

sour crag
#

Remind me what abilities both rogues have which makes me waste damage on? I know the Dodge one, but I feel like they got more def cds

fierce elm
#

Evasion

#

Cloak of Shadows if they take the PvP talent

fickle forge
#

Just Evasion

fierce elm
#

But cloak is big eh vs fury

fickle forge
#

Dw about Vanish, you won't be seeing him anyway

fierce elm
#

Evasion is the only thing

sour crag
#

I thought Cloak of Shadows is only immune to magic damage

fierce elm
#

PvP talent changes if

#

it

sour crag
#

I see

fierce elm
#

but they are gonna take disarm over it

fickle forge
#

And it gets removed next season

#

So dw

fierce elm
#

So Evasion is the only thing

sour crag
#

I've surprisingly faced little disarm this season.

#

From rogues anyway

fierce elm
#

Because most people hate having another bind lmao

fickle forge
#

That's just 1800 mmr

fierce elm
#

But yeah, evasion is the only thing

sour crag
#

Well I'm back to 1700 mmr so

fierce elm
#

That rogue brings to you in terms of defensives you think about

dense herald
#

guys

#

do i play thane or slayer

fierce elm
#

There is an idea to go stack on their healer against double rogue

dense herald
#

why am i seeing thane players

fierce elm
#

Thane does damage

#

is fun

dense herald
#

is it better for cleave or something

fierce elm
#

yes

sour crag
#

So again, if I am facing double rogues, one of each spec, I should just target whichever I feel like?

#

Also, what about Outlaw?

fickle forge
#

Target the one that isn't outlaw

sour crag
#

Why?

fickle forge
#

Because it's impervious

#

Afro is the only outlaw rogue on ladder that dies

sour crag
#

What makes Outlaw such a different case, then?

fierce elm
#

Never hit Outlaw

sour crag
#

More defensives?

fierce elm
#

you wont kill it

fickle forge
#

CDR on all defensives

sour crag
#

I thought Outlaw was "lol rng dice"

#

Never understood the context behind that

dense herald
#

ii think they have like reduced cd on evasion

#

like 1min evasion

#

maybe that was shadowlands

sour crag
#

That's kinda crazy

#

Speaking of double classes

#

Destro and Affli locks.

#

Which ones are worst for fury?

#

And why

wheat jay
#

you smash both

north thicket
#

destro is easier to shutdown that's why smash it more?

sour crag
#

What defensives do they have? The "GOTCHA" abilities.

fierce elm
#

unless talented

#

but vanish has a sub minute CD

#

along with cloak

fierce elm
#

does damage despite being trained heavily

sour crag
#

So target affli over destro, despite chaos bolts?

fierce elm
#

Same defensives basically

#

Target destro

#

Destro doesnt do a whole lot if focused

#

affli is gonna blast regardless

sour crag
#

Oh right, becasse the curses are instacast

#

Don't they ramp up REAL bad for me tho?

#

the dots, I mean

fierce elm
#

Yeah, but you cant do shit except stop malefic rupture

#

Its gonna do damage regardless of what you do

dense herald
#

best thing to do against locks is reflect coil

#

after some time it becomes a feelin

#

like they be lookin sus and u pop spell reflect

sour crag
#

coil?

fierce elm
#

Mortal Coil

dense herald
#

whats it called

#

that ye

fierce elm
#

insta cast bolt that fears you

sour crag
#

Never seen it

#

Guess I'm blind

fickle forge
#

You sit destro because if he casts CB twice then the game ends

sour crag
#

I do notice they do somethihg which makes their casting uninterruptable tho

#

no idea what that is

fierce elm
#

Random offensive cooldown

#

Changes nothing with how you play unless you can LoS

sour crag
#

Alright then

#

Another classic

#

Death Knights, Frost and Unholy. What do?

north thicket
#

Locks get empowered by spending enough time on forums whining about warriors

fierce elm
#

Disarm pillar, bladestorm when they pop cds

#

pop spell reflect, deal damage back

north thicket
#

The end result is uninterruptable spells and not shutdowns

dense herald
fierce elm
#

intervene healer when he gets gripped in

#

This all doesnt matter unless you deal damage though

sour crag
#

They are REALLY hansy with their grips, I notice.

#

Especially when I hunt someone

fierce elm
#

Cant do anything about that

sour crag
#

Are they a target priority?

fierce elm
#

easy to hit, somewhat decent defensives

sour crag
#

Their green barrier does nothing to me, right?

fierce elm
#

Correct

sour crag
#

And how do I know if pillar is up? Whatever that is

wheat jay
#

cd tracker

fickle forge
#

By watching your addon, BigDebuffs

dense herald
#

guys do i play thane every warrior isee is playing thane

sour crag
#

I think I don't have that addon, or not knowing how to set it up properly.

#

But which should I prioritize, Frost or Unholy?

fierce elm
fierce elm
sour crag
#

They're that similar with damage output?

fierce elm
#

They have the same defensives

#

different damage curves

valid ermine
#

Whats the best embelishment for signet

sour crag
#

WHich I'm not aware of. I know Unholy has more Dots, but that's it

fierce elm
valid ermine
fierce elm
#

Elemental Lens

valid ermine
#

thanks

sour crag
#

That reminds me, it seems like people are cleaven between Nerubian and Elemental embellishments.

fierce elm
#

Yes

#

Now ima hit you with a real secret, it doesnt matter

north thicket
#

I have a chaos mine module and it looks pretty decent since people like to target warris nowadays a lot

#

1 lens 1 mines

#

but for arena I would prefer nerubian symbiosis maybe - just didn't pvp at the start and didn't craft the weapon (was gold europoor too)

#

wish the captured starlight was better tuned, it would have been nice to have a defensive option

sour crag
#

I switched to 2 Elemental Focus recently. Otherwise I tried Ascendence and the other one that doubles it.

#

I dunno which ones are optimal, really

lavish quest

Grabbing people that wouldnt play WoW otherwise

north thicket
#

They do 'funny' stuff because the Classic game isn't fun anymore

fierce elm
#

So yeah

#

its interesting

#

the added notion of them dying being punishing is also fun to watch

#

leads to less Classic stomping and more intricate strategies

Hmmm, I might try

who would you recommend

How do I handle Windwalker Monks? They seem nigh invincible in mobility

Also what's their major damage?

you gotta slam them, thats all

you want to stun fists of fury

do we stun their fists of fury or just ignore?

wheat jay
#

you stun it because you cant hit them through it

sour crag
#

They get invuln from FoF?

pastel swan
#

Stun from behind prob

#

Nothing can dodge from behind except DH I think

frank knoll
#

I struggle vs ww on my ele shaman because they’re unkitable
Same with DH

#

Destroy them on Warrior tho

pastel swan
#

With ele you just pump harder than them and root when u can

#

It’s funny how every class is godly until you play it and you see flaws lmao

frank knoll
#

Yeah I’m kinda new to casters
I am breaking out of the mind set of “I have to run away and then do damage” and getting into the mindset of “sometimes I can cast in their face”

pastel swan
#

Yeah most important thing as ele by a long shot is keeping flameshock uptime

So you have to kite them, but you can’t

green wharf

you also cant burst on ww when they use touch of karma

frank knoll
#

I don’t under why people say DH sucks

#

Maybe in like high level 3s it’s bad idk

#

They do 2x everyone else damage in shuffle and BGs with a ton of self healing and two immunities

frank knoll
#

Yeah
Netherwalk and Meta

#

The meta animation lasts like 3 secs and makes you immune to everything

green wharf
#

i cant say what i want about DH and DH players

#

too offensive

q again

sharp meteor

also melee chop them in half

avg dh also used to being 40% overtuned like they were in later half of df/sl

so if they cant auto gas pedal everybody spec is bad and they reroll hunter/ret/warr

wheat jay
#

its just weak

#

squishy too

Okay I got out with 4/2 but man...

might be because blitz doesn't allow duplicates so you have to wait your turn vs 10x as many players as me

so chance 0 second (36%) -> 30 second (72%) -> 60 second (108%)

#

eh, that's with 12 targets too

#

unrealistic

#

I'm just hoping to find some secret tech

fickle forge
#

I doubt it, enh isn't that complex

urban skiff
#

I'd say having 3+ viable specs is more complex than many specs

#

lots of opportunities for weird interactions

sour crag
#

Okay, so I just face devastation evoker and frost mage

#

what do?=

#

Both are casters

fickle forge
#

One shot deva or die

sour crag
#

What should I watch out for evoker?

fickle forge
urban skiff
#

that's 3

fickle forge
sour crag
#

What should I be aware of from Devastation Evokers, besides their lazor?

urban skiff
#

it's been the top build in blitz for months

fickle forge
#

Ah yeah I don't consider blitz a bracket

#

Meta I tie to arena

fickle forge
#

Deva rotation is 1 button

#

And 2 CDs

sour crag
#

Which are?

#

Dude you gotta talk to me like this is my first day in WoW ;D

urban skiff
sharp meteor
#

wish i could pay blizz like 15 bucks a month to never queue into another mage as long i live

urban skiff
#

usually spicy breath is linked to big gulp air cd

fickle forge
#

And blitz doesn't have any of that

#

You run around, do rotation and run people over

#

Zerg next point

urban skiff
#

I grew up on battlegrounds in vanilla. To me, pvp is chaos and unfairness and making the best of unknown variables

fickle forge
#

And it's a fun time for sure

#

But not a skillful time

urban skiff
#

sure it is

fickle forge
#

To me, when it's competitive, I think skill is what matters most

#

And blitz is so free and inflated anyone can climb

urban skiff
#

Chess is a brain game and taking turns and trading for a win.

boxing is beating the other guy's head in for a win.

#

they're different sports

urban skiff
#

2.1k in s1 is almost never the same as 2.1k in s2 or s3.

#

Idk why people keep expecting that

#

Is my % rank on the ladder better or worse than my last season? That's really the only cross-season measurement you can do

fickle forge
#

You can go by ladder position

urban skiff
#

yes but no

fickle forge
#

But blitz is the most inflated bracket of all time right now

#

Not even SL S2 had this level of inflation

urban skiff
#

If I'm playing a spec that turns really overpowered so all the really good players swap I'll lose ranking despite not getting worse

urban skiff
#

3800 rating is bigger than 2400 rating. So what?

fickle forge
#

You'd imagine the brackets should be somewhat generalized

urban skiff
#

I agree

fickle forge
#

1400 differences is completely crazy

urban skiff
#

but also I think there's something messed up with how they applied the ELO system to blitz that they cannot undo now the season is udnerway

fickle forge
#

Such as gaining 150 mmr per win?

fickle forge
#

Because that's what I get

wheat jay
#

So your argument is invalid

urban skiff
#

They're different big brain things

#

I just kind of ADD'd and forgot what i was saying

wheat jay
#

Blitz is not bigbrain tho

urban skiff
#

Blitz is like boxing

fickle forge
#

Blitz just ain't big brain though

wheat jay
#

Its zergrush

fickle forge
#

Arena is like boxing

urban skiff
#

You have to think fast and under pressure

wheat jay
urban skiff
#

boxing is nowhere close to arena

fickle forge
#

Arena has a script and CC to manage

urban skiff
#

Arena is everyone starts out at equal footing and takes turns trading cds

fickle forge
#

Opponent does X, you respond with Y

wheat jay
#

Blitz is street drunk brawl

fickle forge
#

Blitz is when everybody in the bar decided to take it outside

urban skiff
gritty yoke
#

Never been into PvP but thought bout trying 1.8 in solo shuffle for elite set. Is the queue time as dd as bad as I mind it and how long do you think this will take assuming that I know my class ?

urban skiff
#

I really don't get this need to always put blitz down as if it's the worst

#

it's just different

fickle forge
wheat jay
#

In every way imaginable

urban skiff
#

How many here have competed in any sort of martial arts?

wheat jay
#

I did

urban skiff
#

Because I have

fickle forge
#

Artji does it a few times a week iirc

urban skiff
#

And all strategy goes out the door when you get punched in the mouth

wheat jay
wheat jay
#

Are you stupid?

fickle forge
urban skiff
wheat jay
#

What have you been training to get to that conclusion

urban skiff
wheat jay
fickle forge
#

Either way, WoW arena is where skill is expressed

#

And that's the WoW PvP I like

urban skiff
#

There we go, nice and quiet

fickle forge
#

It's gotten worse since DF, but it's at least still the same essence

wheat jay
#

Ngl best skill based combat pvp gsme I played was warband and for honor

wheat jay
urban skiff
#

Boxing is thinking but chess is thinking fast where opponents have a limited moveset

fickle forge
#

Blitz just isn't comparable like that bro

urban skiff
#

I never said blitz is better

#

Blitz requires a different skill set and the setting is different

#

That's all

fickle forge
#

I'm saying I don't take blitz seriously, because it lacks any type of meta that resonates with WoW PvP's actual competitive bracket

urban skiff
#

I that it's not carefully curated and polished and everyone has fair chances

fickle forge
#

Aka 3v3

urban skiff
#

I loathe meta

#

meta is the worst thing to happen to gaming

fickle forge
#

You don't have to like it

urban skiff
#

just neuter all the fun out of it and hyper optimize everything until everyone is playing the same 3 things

fickle forge
#

There's a meta for everything though

wheat jay
urban skiff
#

TBC 2v2 is the perfect example of that

wheat jay
#

Meta is optimization

urban skiff
#

Everyone playing rdruid + hunter or rogue or warrior or warlock

fickle forge
#

People naturally want to optimize to win

#

It's fun for a lot of people

urban skiff
#

Sure it is

#

But it's the soul killer

wheat jay
#

You don't go full fat 150kg to fight in ufc

fickle forge
#

Ofc it's bad when your off-meta strat is straight up unviable

#

But that's on Blizz

wheat jay
#

You optimize

#

Blitz being 8v8 clownfiesta means you can't optimize for best results

fickle forge
#

It's the same as everybody picking the same 8 champs in League

wheat jay
#

Especially when its random 8v8

fickle forge
#

Or everybody running AWP in CS

#

People do what's effective

#

Blitz is a way to get away from all that and have some chaotic fun

wheat jay
#

Rated bgs had some skill, or like you said different skill expression under specific conditions

urban skiff
#

and everyone plays giantdaddy and nobody respects a giantdaddy for succeeding with the objectively best stuff

wheat jay
#

Because you had coordination

urban skiff
#

or is it giantdad? idk anymore

wheat jay
#

Huh

urban skiff
#

Shouldn't everyone be running blitz because it's the most effective even if not enjoyable?

wheat jay
#

Ye thats probably going away

#

Repeat of shuffle i guess

#

Df s1 people were like 3300+

#

S2 they couldnt get elite lmao

fickle forge
#

Almost like people like getting high rating

wheat jay
#

Ye

#

If 3s were easier to climb

#

And get glad

#

More people would queue

#

Like, we got to 2100mmr instantly, didnt we?

#

Playing giga dog comp

urban skiff
sharp meteor
urban skiff
#

Instead of just having it be bigger than everyone else

wheat jay
#

People play pvp for rewards for the most part

sharp meteor
#

cos it doesnt matter unless ur going for titles

#

which like 12 people do

wheat jay
urban skiff
sharp meteor
#

well u would be wrong

wheat jay
#

Blitz is coinflip

#

You could play rogue, stay on flag 24/7

sharp meteor
#

if the dude in my 3k eots cadps the flag when we have 2 bases the avg boomer can soft afk his way to 2400

wheat jay
#

And you'd climb to elite

urban skiff
sharp meteor
#

nah they're somehow a net negative to their team

#

like u know when u cap the flag in wsg and its going well

stark agate
#

Alternative is to not play blitz xdd

sharp meteor
#

then ur male human hunter grabs flag runs mid dies insta and they cap

#

thats the type of person that gonna get stuckos

#

cos they are like

#

an actual burden

#

upon their games

#

not a neutral influence not a positive influence an actual detriment

urban skiff
#

People whisper and offer people gold for throwing apparently

sharp meteor
#

if ur stuckos ur either making ur team lose by not doing job or havent played enough

sharp meteor
#

not common tho

#

until maybe last few weeks

wheat jay
#

Regular blitz player, it is what it is

urban skiff
#

So how is it more logical that he was really really bad and not that he was doing it on purpose? 😅

fickle forge
sharp meteor
#

might b cool if it showed sooner

#

even if useless tbh

fickle forge
#

Yeah but what are you gonna get from seeing you're top 15k

sharp meteor
#

being top x might encourage some people to press q more

#

esp if they showed realms that might b funni

urban skiff
#

in blitz

#

idk what the deal is with that

sharp meteor
#

why is weird bad and useless

urban skiff
#

I'd say anyone in top 1k should at least see their rank on the ladder

#

instead of limiting it to 2400+

sharp meteor
#

i feel like itd be nothing to see it whenever yeah cos u already show on the ladder

#

just not ingame

#

gg im top 50 guardians at 800 cr whatever

#

still funni to see

wheat jay
#

I remember getting elite in shuffle and seeing 8

urban skiff
#

eh

wheat jay
sharp meteor
#

i just hit my highest rating on prot

urban skiff
#

You don't have to love it, to acknowledge that it might get more people to get more invested

sharp meteor
#

which was also highest of any prot in na

#

including df

urban skiff
#

It's only just this season I realized there was a ladder to read

#

And I've played since vanilla

sharp meteor
#

i love my dead meme ladder

wheat jay
#

They need to redesign rewards in relation to inflation of rating

#

Its stupid to even attempt to get glad at the start of the season

#

That is a terrible design

north thicket
sharp meteor
north thicket
#

Sorry, I meant what spec and bracket

sharp meteor
#

p-prot

#

I wanna queue atc but can't find a hunter.

urban skiff
#

Nobody protests so much if they don't have a deep dark secret

sharp meteor
wheat jay
#

We go at dawn

sharp meteor
#

I swear mw prot surv could be insane

urban skiff
#

anything + prot is insane

#

if prot had a reliable ms it would be over

sharp meteor
#

No 🗞️

sharp meteor
#

No ms limits it so much

urban skiff
#

prot + prot

#

but different prot

sharp meteor
#

If I could queue with ret or enh or ele it'd actually be SO over

urban skiff
#

They could do with revamping the ms system entirely

wheat jay
urban skiff
#

Make it a melee only thing, and make it so casters are more vulnerable to ms than melee. To compensate for them having higher uptime than melee does

wheat jay
#

With @knotty atlas

#

Went pretty good

urban skiff
#

that would be cool

wheat jay
#

If we played more we'd get him his 1800

north thicket
#

Kennie, prot gets 'more' MS in 11.1 if Col

#

looking forward to it

sharp meteor
#

Eh. We have limited honor talent spots.

north thicket
#

but would appreciate a talent refresh

sharp meteor
#

So that'd be nice but it's not crazy.

north thicket
#

Indeed, limited 😦

sharp meteor
#

If it were on shield slam we'd be so good.

#

I wish there was just like a grievous/vicious shield talent in the standard tree

#

that applied a healing reduction

#

via shield slam

north thicket
#

SS should get the purge it used to have a long time ago!

#

it would also help M+ viability

#

one may only assume that prot is to be C- tier tank in s2

urban skiff
#

Blizzard 2025 would implement it super weird

sharp meteor
#

Man a purge alone would also be so crazy

urban skiff
#

Like it will dispel on shield slam, but you have no control over it and it has a 30 second cooldown after doin git

sharp meteor
#

esp since u pressing it once a second

urban skiff
#

and you'll have to pick up 2/2 mandatory points before that'll buff slam by 7.5%

north thicket
#

yeah but it could have the sharpened blade talent

#

in normal tree

#

20-30sec cd w/e

#

also

#

bears are getting magic % reduction by armor

#

if I remember s2 notes

#

all plate classes should get some

#

especially warrior

urban skiff
#

anyone know why AMD stock is going down when intel crapped their pants and there are no viable alternatives AND their x3d cpus are a HUGE success?

pastel swan
#

Do you guys just not go on mages and devokers lol feels pointless

urban skiff
#

Unless my partners rely on me to help exhaust mage/evoker/etc mobility, i'd rather be hitting a healer that can be hit than a mage that cannot

pastel swan
#

Going healers seems bad most of the time. What about the other dps

rancid granite
frank knoll
#

Demo lock is the most W key OP shit that nobody talks about

#

Just did a little PvP on mine, not even fully geared
Insane damage better than destro

sharp meteor
#

ya its like bm except spammable fear

frank knoll
#

I lil harder to play than BM probably

copper fox
#

Kennie I’m going prot main next season I’m getting tired of fury

#

Was almost 2700 today back down to 2500 ish

#

Just getting tossed by BM lobbies

sharp meteor
#

everythin other than double or triple caster is a vibe

#

fur fallin out when i see mage/aff/shadow or som

pastel swan
#

Is arms any good? Looks like fury is much higher on ladder

sharp meteor
#

not really

#

its okay-good but fury is very good so

copper fox
#

arms is a lot harder to climb as

#

fury is just a lot more oppressive atm

pastel swan
#

Is a good rule of thumb as fury to just hit closest and stay by healer

#

If it’s a bunch of casters

hot solstice
#

Depends on caster

frank knoll
#

Yeah if your fury and hitting something it will probably die

copper fox
#

i always hit closest if another range uses mobility and I dont have my mobility, OR they port behind a pillar etc

hot solstice
#

Generaly u want ur team to push with you unless it’s some mage or devoker

frank knoll
#

I remember i climbed way higher as fury when i stopped over thinking the kill target and cross cc etc and just w keyed whatever was close to me

copper fox
#

yea just always be hitting something

frank knoll
#

It almost like as fury you etc rewarded for being an egg head w key spec

copper fox
#

and if youre moving to a target while a melee is on you make sure youre strafe slapping that melee on the way

#

mages and devokers chunk hard tho so if theyre close enough im always swinging at them

#

but never over committing to them

hot solstice
#

Vs mage and dragon always better to swap on them when they push in for sleep or poly

#

Vs lock it’s good to save leap bolt on their portals

#

U can also swap and wait for them to go off the pillar but I just prefer safely leap stun after them with some bladestorm or reflect ready to immune that coil

#

But it all depends again…his hpala might be standing on portal or ur team isn’t willing to push so it’s all about making choices

pastel swan
#

Yeah. And as far as rotation I prio rampage > onslaught > execute > rb > bt. I use recklessness first and t roar in burst then go through that rotation. Idk if there’s an optimal time to bladestorm

#

And then use avatar to extend pressure

#

Let me know if any of that sounds fried

sharp meteor
#

like if chasing the ideal target sets u far behind or kills u

#

thats not great

#

worse than just hitting the guy with every button

#

cos dmg starts to stick real hard 2 mins in

#

ig biggest thing is dont throw every offensive cd 90 seconds into the game onto the guy with every defensive just because you have 4 seconds of timedown on the killl target who is almost out of buttons

pastel swan
# sharp meteor kind of ye

Yeah. I noticed some ppl play death wish. That seems kinda risky. Is that something you ever play maybe when you’re not the main target? I heard Barbarian is being removed and battle trance may be getting reworked? Not sure how

sharp meteor
#

dw if ur not the target and 1-2 stacks if you're somewhat safe can be good ya

#

also really good in blitz

rancid granite
#

can it be canceled

sharp meteor
#

used to be able to but that got fixed out

#

cos that's meant to be the drawback

rancid granite
#

yeah i assumed so

#

i use it all the time just never thought to try it cause why would i cancel dmg buffs

#

:zug:

sharp meteor
#

so if ur safe 1-2 stacks can be sick

#

then let it fall as they get cc/dmg back

#

also running into orb or flag carrier in blitz with 3-5 stacks and just 1-shotting them is nice

rancid granite
#

same the other way around too since orb gives dmg buff too

#

lol

pastel swan
#

Is using bladestorm during reck/avatar a damage loss or gain? Testing on dummy seems like a gain but idk

sharp meteor
#

do u got stackies

#

cos isolated storm with every button up as slayer is big dam

sterile moth
#

Using it with d-stance kinda gives you an in between option too. Basically cancels out the 10% reduction on your damage for 5% more dam reduction on incoming

urban skiff
green wharf
#

im seriouslly thinking of just not picking up rend as talent

#

all the time i forget to use this shit

#

fucking talent

urban skiff
#

don't you have it baked into thunderclap?

green wharf
#

only remember to tclap in tfs

urban skiff
#

i use tclap to apply rend

#

and as a dirty slow

green wharf
#

i dunno why but people dont get slowed anymore, only warriors

#

everyone ahve some sort of immunity dispel or something

urban skiff
#

that's not remotely true though

green wharf
#

but it what it feels like

urban skiff
#

warrior is no exception

#

1-2 bladestorms, plus rallying cry

#

That's already a lot of ways to break out of snares and roots

green wharf
#

break and get instantly reaplied

urban skiff
#

you can do that too

#

you know ferals are going to powershift the slow so get in the habit of slowing them twice

green wharf

Yes,that huuuuuge 1 ppm.

its joever for prot

no more killing mages after dragon charge nerf

Tested,yes.

verbal tangle
#

Then spec dead

knotty atlas
#

Jep

#

They went after the wrong thing with their changes

verbal tangle
#

Common Blizzard L

sharp meteor
#

All the changes suck omg.

knotty atlas
#

Jeah,just goes to show that they are out of touch with the spec/class.

#

But that's nothing new unfortunately.

verbal tangle
#

You forgot the first rule of brown class Mwahi:

Fuck brown class

sharp meteor
#

also dragon charge nerfed in pvp im in disrepair

#

must keep pvp prot dream alive

knotty atlas
verbal tangle
#

Yeah if I bother to play next season it will probably be on something like DH or Enh

#

Woyer is just frustrating to play when Blizzard can't be fucked to address it

boreal veldt
#

i think i got soft muted for submitting so many "fix demolish you rats" tickets

knotty atlas
#

Tbf,there is a better way of wording that.

boreal veldt
#

i'm paraphrasing, but that was definitely the subtext of tickets i did submit

#

very much

#

"I hope this email finds you well" energy

knotty atlas
#

But yeah,it's weird how much they screw over their player base considering it's a subscription based game.

boreal veldt
#

even ff14 got an apology for it's latest expac

#

but thats a whole different beast not very comparable

green wharf
#

mor news at eleven

sharp meteor
#

i remember bear was 99% of tank rep in title range during df

#

and i open patch notes wondering what they're up to

#

to see a 20% crane kick nerf to brew

green wharf
#

and they just buffed

#

i heard most of M+ groups are made of prot pala, disc priest and aug evoker

sharp meteor
#

ya its all prot palas sadge

green wharf
#

i guess cant nerf then mid season

#

or the elitist jerks will throw a tantrum on twitter

#

cause they will need to rerrol

fierce elm
#

They already rerolled mid season lmao

#

Because it was Prot Warr/Rsham before Prot pal got massive buffs on top of their absurd damage

sharp meteor
#

which is kind of annoying

#

esp considering mythic raiding is kind of niche

green wharf
#

tunning is made due to raiding

sharp meteor
#

oh yeah keys have this thing where they dont like aoe pulls and dmg spam

green wharf
#

more than ever im seeing changes in skills, talents and how the spec play because M+ close envirolment

sharp meteor
#

so every pack has 5 important deadly casts

#

u gotta coordinate stops on

#

so now everybody has 12 stops

#

also 1 shots from stuff means everybody needs a lot of mini defensives

#

every spec also cleaves raelly hard passively too

#

idk

fierce elm
#

The changes to how CC works next season is a clear indicator that M+ is the priority

#

because its probably the most popular gamemode

green wharf
# sharp meteor idk

Bladestorm torment ->changing cause Arms was pulling too much AOE damage in M+ pulls, now instead gives sweeping strikes_for the M+ pulls_
MM pet -> M+ whiners complaining they had to summon pet, lust and dismiss it, they decide to just remove the option to use pet entirelly and give lust baseline to MM
Titans torment -> again changing caue fury was "too good" in aoe pulls

fierce elm
#

Any CC that used to insta break on damage now has a damage threshold

sharp meteor
#

ya that seems like a pvp one

fierce elm
#

This is not for raid or pvp lmao

#

This is because random shit breaks the CC in dungeons

sharp meteor
#

how is it not pvp

fierce elm
#

CC that is required

sharp meteor
#

u dont cc in dungeons

#

or u careuflly spot cc

green wharf
#

its for you to disable an add in the pulls

sharp meteor
#

u arent randomly polying 1 mob in a rodent key

green wharf
#

and damage doesnt break

sharp meteor
#

except to stop a cast

fierce elm
#

Its made to disable stuff

sharp meteor
#

and since df they recast

#

idk feels like a soloq change to pvp

#

cos everybody sprays aoe everywhere

#

so poly breaks insta

#

or blind

#

etc

#

ice trap

green wharf
#

it will make pvp even worse with more mini CC

fierce elm
#

Yeah, introduce a change that makes it worse lmao

sharp meteor
#

i think a friend tried it on ptr and said it pauses the dmg of the dots

#

so u arent gonna die in them

#

like u will a sleet

#

aka lose 30% of ur hp before it breaks

#

while getting spam polymorphed

fierce elm
#

Its a bad change if it was meant for PvP, its a decent change if its meant for PvE

#

otherwise it SUCKS

sharp meteor
#

eh we'll see it hopefully just means that random 1 aoe dmg ticks dont insta break all breakable cc

green wharf
#

but that was good
