I started learning PvP recently and for the life of me i can't seem to fight against hunters
Beast mastery to be specific, I'm doing fine against survival/marksmanship
I would love to learn to fight against them
@earnest pendant play double charge with warbringer and hope that they choke thinking they can easily kite you like usual. Same with warlocks. (if they dont choke u are fucked tho)
Meh, harsstuck 2.6 mmr.. Ill survive
Holy smokes trying to do torghast layer 12 in full pvp gear since that’s all I have and it’s a huge pain lol
so difficult
hi can someone tell me if elysian might legendary works in pvp and if its nerfed in pvp at all?
was wondering as im maining arms kyrian in 9.2 and have decided to finally jump into arena 🙂
that and enduring blow dual leggendary seems like it would be pretty awesome
Yes
is it 8 seconds too? because that does sound pretty op haha
nice gonna be sick with dual leggendarys
Thts because for a BM hunter to fight a warrior in a 1v1 setting all they have to do is hit concussion shot and spam cobra shot to keep reapplying the slow and kite till u die they don't even need to push barbed shot or kill command just those 2 abilities
So kyrian for all pvp scenarios?
Guide in the pins
Thx don't see anything for 9.2👌🏽
Shouldn't be a diff for 5 weeks
next patch
is monk going kyrian or necro
necro lego seems meh
especially with the bonedust brew not critting anymore
conquest point disapear at the end of the season right ?
we lose vs dwayne
how does ele sham kill you
i cant ask the monk disc server
its some ding dong nonsense
ati verify phone number
tf do they need my phone number for
rsham kills me @raw summit
To send you pics of the dicks they suck
haha
Lasso + the other wizard they’re playing with bursting on u
Stormkeeper + lava surge with fire ele up is their big dam
Earth shocks too but they’re expensive and don’t do a ton of damage
I thought all we had to do was finish the quest chain, we have to grind rep for double leggo
Gd
You don’t
You have to grind rep to craft it on ANY slot
You get belt for free
So basically you don’t need to grind rep for double leggo
You need to grind it to craft the covenant leggo on an optimal slot
Which is not as big of a difference compared to getting a 2nd legendary
Vesper totem power up goes BRRRRRRRR
When u let the vesper totem ramp up...
What ilvl is the belt ?
265
Will season 2 boxes still be available in 9.2!
And if I buy them now they will still work on 9.2?
am i the only one that has to constantly do /console floatingCombatTextCombatDamage 1
since some addon keeps turning it off
o dang we have pins
Afik with fury everyone plays reckless abandon, signet and Necrolord
I think some folks play deathmaker, I know Bajheera was for a minute. Not sure if necro will still be the play in 9.2
elysian might doe
I’ve found onslaught seems a little undertuned. Crits for like the same as an execute
gemerates rage and doesnt need to execute tho
main advtanage imo
but execute hitting harder and more seems better
So what’s looking better for 9.2? Dh or warrior or ww?
Dh imo but we’ll see
is honor being reset to 0 for 9.2?
Ty
Found some hidden PvP hotfixes on the last PTR build.
Verdant Infusion: 100% to 80% (Rdruid Leggo)
Perforated Veins: 100% to 40% (Rogue gloomblade conduit)
Wrathful Faerie: 100% to 50% (priest mana faerie)
And I think Rdruid 10% -> 0% buff and Hpal 6% to 12% in pvp https://t.co/GmqcNuna3q
@sharp meteor
Hmm.
Anyone have decent success in 2s/3s with Fury? Decent being like.. 1800-2000?
Where's the skill cutoff, then? 2000+? 2200?
Like.. When does the meta kick in I guess
hard to quantify
some people play that shit to like 2.8 on occasion. grimgrip is a massive outlier but it’s been done
Yeah, it's hard to get a read. I know arms is better in every way, I just really enjoy fury
fury is dh with rootbreaks and a far worse defensive kit
also no 6k dps all game
So the addition of MS effect didn't really help as much as it was hoped for
need to see how arms does in a live season with full damage from tier & all
we probably just fall over but never know
I feel like the nerf isn't going to be as "the sky is falling" for the more skilled players.
For me, though.. It'll suck xD
idk fury is free pts imo
i mean 10% off d is going to be kind of horrific into some matchups
Speaking on Arms.. If you could give three tips to someone just stepping into arena, what would you say?
Like WW+anything? lol
keep slows up, watch for swaps and hold w
don't burn mobility if you don't have to
don't rp as a havoc, try to stay within reach of teammates
Thank you ❤️
uptime is key yeah. don’t charge off mount
lol dude
Feel like nerfed Dstance just means arms rots slowly but surely
warriors at low mmr charging off their mount
is the funniest shit
Even funnier is the ones who get extra horny and burn leap too
5secs later
had a guy leap to me behind a pillar
proceeded to stun him back there
and send the fattest ding
so funny
i love mirror matches man
q’d into some nelf condoomer who melded my disarm and i just knew i was getting outplayed
healer shits the bed when they get double sharpened
at sub 50%
i ran into one undead condoomer
i killed his healer in opener
but yeah
Lmao ya must be low MMR games if y’all both putting sharpen on the same target at the same time 😂
wdym
I mean we're over 6 months into this season
you see some fried shit
esp from rdruid teams
so many feral aff druids throwing games
necro war/rsham welfare 2.4
Can confirm
actual feed
i speak from exp there ya
Think my hunter sits on like 2.4k with sub 120 games or smth rn
eesh
Play it wrong? Dw you're hunter and nothing counters you
Is there any difference when I wanna try to get to 1800 if I play fury or arms as Beginner in PvP?
besides outlaw i guess
yeah
watching mud play warrior mirrors in viewer games while commentating is funny
outlaw

arms is easier
and better/safer option
Don't think anything counters 2s surv hunt tbh
uhh so basically
There's no way to lose
gear check
Fav content has to be watching Raiku play mage+healer 2s into surv+Rdruid
Definition of hopeless
Ok, thanks :) do we already know which cov/Leggo we will play in 9.2?
kyrian elysian might + enduring blow seems really stronf
Nice, thanks
Can someone clarify Sharpen for me? Is it mandatory because it simply increases MS damage, or does the Sharpen healing reduction stack with MS for 75% reduced healing?
it’s 50%
yes
MS reduces to 25% in pvp despite tooltip out of arena saying 50
this means that while you have sharpen up and you MS while it’s active, you run the risk of letting its healing debuff drop entirely because MS won’t overwrite it
Does fury have potential in 9.2 for arenas or is arms mando?
more potential than before but that's because arms has taken a heavy hit
arms is likely better still
fury has potential rn
next patch the set bonus is looking VERY strong
gonna help maintain slaughterhouse stacks
and uptime
quick question im 229 i lvl pvp gear on my arms warrior and i do no were near what my pally friend does in damage is there some thing im missing?
full enchants i got all the crit gear
conquest wep and trinkets
the right let helm its got crit vers on it 262 ilvl one
Does he have more gear
its about the same\
like we geared together
like i do half his damage all the time
it might be because im necro with crit it says i want haste in the pin but i dont know if that is dated
It’s probably not the star distribution on your gear but things like up time on target, rotation, are you just sitting in d stance etc..
Ur ret is gonna do more if all ur games are just kills in the opener
Cuz his burst is bigger
you guys feel arms is still top pick with the d nerf? I feel I wont want to press that button anymore
FURY FTW 😄
fury got passive d stance anyway
exept it doesnt reduce your dmg done
its called warpaint
very strong
as long as you dont get cc'd badly
Fury still gonna be sad life kek
nobody knows yet
with set, new values etc
dont make the usual statements of X thing shitty before it starts
its a whole new meta and season
mes said nerf is fine cuz less punish getting ccd outside of dstance and swapping battle still felt good

yes weaker but no not a death sentance
i hate dh's
If they nerf Necro ( Which it seems likely t ohappen) for fury, then I think it will likely be the case
Hence why the guess there
if its too good in heroic week they might
Quick question, are we able to buy 9.2 honor gear starting next week?
and could I just farm some honor until tuesday, or does honor get reset?
They very likely will nerf it in PVE
cause its giga ahead atm
So it will affect PVP
reset
How is fury pvp in9.2? not sure which one to play fury or dh in 2s
from what I've seen, fury cranks on the PTR


isnt mandatory but handy
110% healing reduction
It’s not worth quing random BGs as horde it takes 10 years to get in
But as alliance it’s a 2 min Que lol
I just want honor man 
wow enraged regens cd is actually laughable
Same as dbts just sayin
oh didn't see stalwart guardian swaps
xd
Just queue mercenaries
Problem solved
Yeah just shouldn’t have to play the opposite faction as the only way to get a decent amount of game time in and not waiting in Que 😦
i dont know why they removed the the wod q as alliance or horde
but 9.2.5 fixes all of it. you know end of the summer when we don't care about it any more.
I just came back. If I haven't craft any legendaries yet, which one should I craft first considering we are getting double legendaries in 9.2?
And on which slot
well arms you want helm and the mortal strike lego
its bis for it but im seeing mixed fury is going to be top because of arms nurfs
and such i dont know myself so im just going to wait
Helm is a tier slot
But wouldn't helm be a slot for tier slot?
So it may not be optimal
i didnt play in years and came back i got all my eggs in order
but i dont know if i should get all the honor gear and max it seeing they are going to be changing the sets
is the conquest gear becoming the honor gear like they use to do it?
no sets for pvp other then trinkets
Is this the Enduring Blow legendary?
You can get tier and use it in pvp
Just reforge whatever it some weeks into Patch
wait what pve gear is it a pvp one?
U make pvp gear tier gear
Yes
Come back from vacation 10% def stance nerf
Holy moley
Deserved but like. Jesus Christ.
Idk I'd have preferred tweaks in other places. If the meta shifts to literally just training warr every game which makes them do no damage and nullifies duel/intervene then I'm going to be super sad.
Like to die by the sword CD via its conduit or something.
What mes suggested is a conduit that takes you x% less dam first y seconds in dstance
So the Moment you hop in/out matters
A conduit that affects a specific talent?
Also the "issue" with dstance was that warr was useful while trading at -20% dmg because of ms and team utility
Yea that's the issue with the suggestion. Seems highly unlikely
Yeah, which is why I was saying nerfing die by the sword cdr via a conduit would've probably been best as it is up too often.
Idk whatever, change is annoying.
I agree teapot
I jush hope i dont have to play fury 
Cuz while i love the spec for pve i dont wanna make pvp binds

I don't wanna play fury because I could barely so the mage tower lmao
Necro fury could get in 3 Rampages or smth within maybe 7 globals
Question is if that's enough or if u need the dam taken dam increase stacks
Even then you are hella squishy
welp im gearing up atm on my warrior for pvp and im at like 229 pvp ilvl and dstance keeps me from being deleted in one sec
now im just going to not get to play lol
229 pvp ilvl is nothing lol
For 9.2 is it gojng to arms or fury that’s more prevalent? Is the defensive stance nerf that big?
@warped warren carry on
same but 259
sir honor gear is 259 either tuesday or the week after
is that even confirmed
Welfare after all this work kinda sucks
psure honor gear was not last season duelist gear
It went to like 220 idk
It wasn't
But was renown capped massively
Until you got high enough renown
honor gear was noticebly behind
my rogue is the most aids
cuz sub and assa/outlaw
diff stats

2s for start prolly moving 3s one 1800/2100 geared
like rmp
Not sure.. They changed it again
s+ tier
And i didnt check
rps at best is a tier
Yea rogue - > rmp or trollin
Does honor reset Tuesday or just conquest?
Does anyone know if we can buy Honor Gear on Wednesday? Season is starting a week later but how is it regarding the new Honorgear?
can chastise with the censure talent be dispelled?
No
Of course not :)))
Not that it'd even matter because all three players get crossed simultaneously :))
and/or it gets flung onto the healer
NA ladder just updated and the R1 cutoff for horde is 3450 wtf??? LMFAO
@sharp meteor holy shit
More than 1k cr gap between glad and r1 🚀
Makes it even funnier to see somebody who bought glad especially on Warr
yeah like 2950 or something
also iirc like
my partner got his after sitting for like 5 months
oh no i didn't queue with him then
one of his partners didn't, the other did
apparently jmorph became bannable at some point and getting banned for jmorph disqualifies you from r1
i remember seeing people like staph and cdew use it on a daily basis so that dq felt kind of bullshit tbh
what's weird is the person that i know who got banned for it rarely used it
i know people who used it legit 24/7 who didn't get hit
so like ??
wish they'd add an in-game race change, maybe for a modest but not insane chunk of gold
would regularly swap my chars around then
two tokens bit much
did that vhange racials too?
ah
why bother banning for that
"lets ban peopl for using elvui or leatrix it vhanges ui so much !
like ???
why bother it didnt harm anyone ig
nah just the model on your client
idk maybe they thought it hurt race change sales
idk i only racechanged fron tauren to orc for racials
if i could i'd still be a tauren
it was always grey area because it changed models but even like reckful streamed using it back in the day with no issue
like his warr vids were him as a human instead of orc and in dk cm gear or something
but like
dont automation addons fuck with the code too
AAP: autoskio cinematic, auto accept and turn in quests
leatrix: auto sell grays
can also do all the AAP stuff
so the issue with model stuff is that you can in theory do stuff like make herb nodes into ragnaros and see them from a mile away type of thing
but jmorph was just people morphing into night elves instead of shitty meme cows
so idk
hello
dont shittalk tauren
theyre chads
they get ti ride huge mounts
and make them even huger
was gonna mention this
a bunch of his old clips practically advertise it
@sharp meteor its weird
cuz you have people like nahj said
“most people saying they got banned for jmorph/tmorph really were botting or doing something else sus”
yeah that was the case back in the day
also psure it was banned for the launcher and less so tmorph
so we ban steam now?
lets u launch through a third party website and even get a stean overlay
right now hard time for klungo klungo and zugzugmaster queue for arena, both strong orc smasher every game one or more of following dressmen: scary dark tentacle guy guy throwing oranges stupid fiery demon boy lightning rancher owl and most scary of all: trinket klungo cannot leave arena column or will get hit in head with orange or mo...
still one of my fave posts
a classic to be sure
godtier
what two leggos are you guys going to be using most of the time for PvP? I'm thinking 8 second spear and painbringer
eb?
shtewpid mankis
yeah enduring blows
I call it painbringer because that's what the item is called and the name I see all the time when I inspect peopel
people*
@undone pumice I'll call it whatever I want lmao -- you know what I'm referring to when I write it. that's all that matters
no
Honestly i didnt know what u are saying
it got nerfed or just an educated guess?
the crit dmg and duration psure
not a clue tbh
Who’s ready to have to spend millions of gold again to upgrade all the legendary items to the new max rank lol
if it costs a lot initially i just don't upgrade
half the people i know don't care to push past duelist week 1 anyways
because season gonna b like a year
more like 50k ish
always cheaper to have someone craft
than buy off ah
Yeah just don’t know people for that. The ones for this season were hundreds of thousands the first few weeks on my server and I have a few friends where it was the same on their servers
None of us likes to craft lol
why would u buy those though unless you're in some bleeding edge guild in which case u already have the gold
Hopefully we get 2 seasons with another one at 9.2.5? 
That'd be super cool. Randomly being able to faction swap with teammates in the middle of a season would be meme as shit.
Wouldn’t put it passed blizzard though…
You land in the new zone and there's a dead green glad drake on the ground so maybe that's the subtle foreshadowing that there won't be a fourth season 

Another year of shadowlands
Next xpac 2023

Patch will probably be for most of the rest of the year, yerrr.
deadass?
How do you manage demo lock damage? When playing demonbolt build so the tyrant is really just there for shards/extra demon mod. It feels like you cant wait it out or CC them through a cooldown since all the mods seem to last forever.
do they play a specific talent setup to line up those demonbolt nukes? just occurred to me i want the cloth set & i have a box geared lock @ 60
Don't the stacks from siphon that buff demonbolt/make it instant have perma duration, like the stacks from decimating bolt. Seems like the only actual mods you can avoid is the 4% per demon by waiting out some of the demons, but all the major mods seem to last til they finally get to use them.
hmm maybe big rally for extra safety sometimes
i mean from a lock POV, shoulda clarified
single minded fury relevant?
it's a poor man's 2h fury
speed buff seems big
enrage already gives you movement speed
the health you get from double 2h weapons is way better than a small 5% movement speed
update: it's bc this class has 6 trillion modifiers
ah fuck. I just realized im gonn ahave to recraft my enduring belt to a diff slot... cuz dont we get belt as second leggo in new patch?
fuck meeee
you can put unity on any piece
you really want helm for tier piece as it's haste vers
same with shoulder
unith is cov leg?
Ye
@fierce elm patch tomorrow 2/22 isn't that crazy 
2/22/22 
Lotta people getting married that day here
Married to WoW 
Bad marriage
will kyrian really be much better next ssn?
read necro lego
Like 5 weeks in
i doubt it tbf even tho the necro leggo is pretty useless
Not right off the bat tho
Ofc not. and the kyrian one is very good
but necro has more perks imho in regards to survivability etc
much needed with the def stance nerf
only real perk is fleshcraft
glory could be good with fury
overdosing on copium
Necro most likely gonna get nerfed so dont get hopes high
if necro gets nerfed im going night fae
korayn mongo oneshots 
condemnnnnnnnnnnn venth
sometimes when i'm close to killing someone, i start pressing keys harder thinnking they will die quicker that way, is it normal?
Yes. 
ofc
That phenomenon is called nervousness

thank frens
Are the stats on specific tier items already released? Like Crit mastery on plate chest or so?
Dunno, probably. Can check ptr or something.
Do I need to get the Greatsword or axe for my warrior
Just got 1750 honor points I'm confused on which one to buy
I play arms
Probably sword, but axe is also fine. You could also just wait for Tuesday or next week to buy bigger weapon as the season is basically over.
I'm human so i guess sword specialization kinda helps
Oh yeah that too
Dont we just get a belt slot as our 2nd leggo at first?
yea
oh is that still a thing i thought human was just 180s stunbreak and 2% extra secondaries or something
okay whew
its not
it is
thoses guys talk about classic
we keep honor on tuesday?
Does SR reflect fears?
Depends on the fear. If it's a single-target magic one then yeah.
If it's warr fear, priest fear, etc, then no, as Raz says
Yeee that is slick. Can fling up reflect when u see them havoc a partner.
So that is exception of rule
So that means a locks fear?
Lock fear on you can be reflected, yeah.
Also when you berserking rage it make sure you get hit first so it puts you on dr.
UNLESS you pre-berserk to shatter and immune the howl of fear
Okay ty
Just saw that the stats on tier set items are completely different for all classes. Rogue e.g. have Vers/Crit or Crit/vers and warriors have pretty bad sec stats. Do you think that the tier set is that strong that it doesnt matter what sec stats are on the items? Imo it could be a big factor what sec stats are on the tier sets.
Not really.
If you want the bonus, which you probably will, then you grab the 2-4 pieces with the least bad stats.
Or just whatever you get out of your vault.
Early gearing always a bit of a clusterfuck as you kind of have to play the hand you're dealt.
But the stats are fixed right? War tier set head will always be haste vers, right?
Hunter e.g. have two small vers stats and no vers on the rest at all
I’m trying to learn more keybinds for warrior can someone pls tell me if they know what this persons binds are? Like what do c1, B5, CB4, A1 etc mean?
ctrl 1, button 5 (mouse), control button 4 (modifier + mouse), alt 1
also binds are (for the most part) just preference; you just need to be able to comfortably hit stuff
Messing around on war on ptr, Dstance feels useless, but outside of a few outliers the pace does feel slower even sitting battlestance outside of cds
but god damn what the fuck is assassin rogue
go from full hp to dead in like .5seconds on their vanish
spear+unhinged can 100-0 something without cds, but it isn't insanely fast like have to go through full storm and a follow up global or two probably really good if playing something with strong 1min goes or long cd CCs
Oh, yeah. Night fae assa with tier is going to melt people.
On the off chance that doesn't get tweaking before tier is available a few weeks in
I know feral 4pc got whacked super hard
Feral 4pc was a few bugs, so it got fixed, same with survival
assassin is just super overtuned in terms of burst, so if its not broken in pve they may let season start with it
it's literally auto win unless you have immunities, and even without it its still assassin so has high sustained pressure
Lot of high damage specs but none of them seem to be on the level of demo lock or sin rogue yet
literally have to run away from rets during big wings or you just die as war, once parry is down you cant mitigate enough damage unless they get spam cc through it
Yes.
so what we doing with conquest points that we have now? just stocking up on a ton of unchained equipment chests?
Is demo looking like s4 bfa destro?
less overwhelming pressure like bfa s4 destro and more just hp bar suddenly gone
necro legendary + balespider legendary is maxing out at like 90k instant demon bolts
we'll have around 88-90k hp in full 285 with sta buff
That's not great lol
Oh no it just instantly kills you
extreme enough that it might get hotfixed
Destro actually kind of pumping on ptr too but doesn't have the survivability of bfa destro
on use damage trinket crits for a bit over 50% of a full geared hp bar. should make for interesting rmp openers
is the season ending when the servers restart or beforehand?
The current season of Shadowlands PvP content will end at 10:00 p.m. the night before maintenance in each region (February 21 at 10:00 p.m. PST for North America realms / 22 February at 22:00 CET for European realms).
Yeah can't see that going live for long lol
Dstance feels worthless, just a button you press when you have no choice but to full turtle/are trying to line/get out of a fight
on 9.2 ptr that is
sounds like short leap is better
honestly maybe, feels like you generally have to exit the fight now if you don't get peeled/have parry up (vs melee) hard to gauge with random solo que games
dstance prob still better tho, just not as impactful when you need it and a HUGE determent if you need to do damage, since you still take just about the same pressure but massively drop your own.
wheres this from?
people in my guild are saying it ends tomorrow right before reset
rolling a warlock now
blizzards post on season2 ending
Blizzard today revealed the release date of Patch 9.2 and with it, the ongoing Shadowlands Season 2 is ending on February 21! (Source) Greetings Champions. The end of Shadowlands Season 2 is around the corner, here’s what to expect: Shadowlands Season 2: PvP The current season of Shadowlands PvP ...
ends 10pm pacific
appreciate it
Players can still queue for rated PvP and earn appropriate rewards, but the PvP leaderboards will be locked.
this doesnt mean we can still earn "rating" and unlock the transmog, right?
Anybody going to try fury warrior now with Dstance nerf?
Fury seems to be doing more sustained damage the few times I've faced it
I saw people on ptr doing a lot of sustained damage with the extra raging blow charge and random reckleness procs
but defensives for fury still sucks lol
isn't enraged same cd as parry? same damage reduction, parry better vs double melee meta, enraged prob better vs casters since you can use while stunned + some healing. Diff was arms stacked big Dstance on top, which is still a bonus but far less effective.
Guess its easier to spam ignore pain on cd as arms too?
either way arms doesn't feel super tanky anymore and outside of a few outliers the pace seems a tiny bit slower
yeah ignore pain on fury costs way too much rage
Necro arms felt pretty bad as far as personal performance went, still probably ideal when you're buffing a spec that scales well off mastery tho
what about kyrian with double leggo now?
i`m guessing at least in 2s it will be better
Kyrian feels good
spear + unhinged can still 100-0 someone if they don't have defensives
spear + painbreaker prob better for sustained pressure tho
and doesn't lock you out of wasting bladestorm on cc/mobility
painbringer already feels so nice for sustain
super hyped to get big spear and enduring
I think unhinged+spear is going to be ideal for 1min goes or if playing with specs with like 45sec/1min cd CCs, makes for a really strong go, enduring if playing something that relies on sustained pressure/more frequent cc I would think
what about necro + unhinged?
might be super cool for kitty and turbo, especially with a priest
bigly juicer 60s go
I was playing enduring on the games I did as necro, banner + cds just didn't feel as big pressure as it does on live so started doing games on kyrian
I think i`ll try kyrian + rampage leggo on fury warrior
it might be good
i am a big fan of fury, i find it super fun to play, especially now with Dstance nerf
It's looking pretty viable, more so than it is now, relative to arms at least
the ones I've run into doing high damage have been necrolord
Yeah i currently play necro fury/arms.....but kyrian is looking really fun
it didn't reset at the start of season2
curious to see if/when it gets uncapped again
ok i know they use to do that back in the day when i played alot '
unsure if that'll be a .2.5 thing
welp, not close to r1 but got a hundred rating qing for a few hours
r1 randomly 3450 or so now yeah?
yea
Oh, nice. I was 3040 the other day. Team wanted to do one more little push tonight but not sure if they'll be around.
They really need to make sure next season isn't as inflated, lmao
Split it into a fourth with 9.2.5 and the faction thing.
Hey guys, Would like to ask you, which covenant is Best 2v2 Fury Spec ? I mostly like venthyr, but i'v heard it is really bad now
I don't know if anybody really knows. Probably Kyrian or Necro now, and Kyrian next patch.
Ye, didn't update for a week.
What about necro, is banner in global cd ? kinda clunky with Tormented kings legendary
It is.
Can you tell what is rly that bad with Venthyr in 2s?
Armor got nerfed, execute got buffed. Double dip of sadness.
Kyrian got a cool spear legendary, Necrolord got reworked into being viable.
So venthyr is not viable now huh ? Thats kinda sad because im not the best player so i need good specs ;p
I don't know. It's probably fine. The DS nerf will probably hurt it, though.
Does it have any pros over necro or kyrian ?
it won't starting tomorrow. currently its uptime is a big factor
death sentence gonna be a lot worse
It did, being that your condemn charged you to stuff all the time, but now it has a cd in addition to bad damage.
Like you can try it. I thought it was fun in bgs and stuff but other stuff seems better.
with d stance being nerfed would that make venth bis in 2's again?
due to condemn absorb?
lmao unlikely
What about tier set and legendary ? Extending Recklessness with condemn, should work with tier set 4sec reck huh ?
the only hope for venth seems like waiting for buffs because it fuckin sucks in pve and pvp
so maybe they give pity buff because 1% pick rate etc
i'd be fine if it stayed dead spear and banner more fun
ok so maybe the healers are complete garbage but apparently neither healer can keep my arms alive vs double fury just sitting on me
double necro fury
ptr?
shambles
if you would choose necro or kyrian fury for 2s , which one would be more fun. Whatcha think ?
idkkk just pick one and send it
haven't seen a kyrian fury so idk, they all seem to be necro and just do the fattest damage
Should i macro Reckless with Banner ? Banner is on gcd but would it start Legendary bladestorm ?
if banner activates first and reck is off gcd then it should still work fine
as long as you dont spam the key when you're still on gcd from a previous ability
seems clunky
I would bind them to two diff keys personally
Okay, i have few questions more, do you think Warbringer + Double time is better than stun playing with hpala ? 🙂
It's 259, which is the same as Duelist.
Just do the new zone stuff. If you aren't duelist then queue for bgs between new zone activities, if the gear is even on vendors.
Sick mate ty
Pretty much always going to play stormbolt
out yet?
Does honor reset to 0
Also lol at honor gear being the same as duelist wtf
Like if heroic dungeons were the same as previous mythic raid ilvl
I dunno, I'm on board with it for alts; having crap gear in pvp and getting 2-shot isn't really fun for anyone.
Still doesnt make much sense but whatever
apparently not
Was looking at how necro fury works. That banner uptime is nutty.
don't see an issue w it
Thinking about swapping from Ret pally to fury for fun
@sharp meteor i mean last season honor gear wasnt 226
and was gated behind weeks of renown
why the fuck am i in queue for 30 mintues as a merc
queued for the brawl?
Gearing finally becomes sensible classic last patch of the expansion stuff
boxes last season were a great change
versa nerfed
i'd imagine the only issue is uh
next season anyway
upgrading to that level. i assume that's maxed ilvl
is no timegates on next seasons honor gear, can 7/7 it from the start
takes like 55k honor to 7/7 a full set of honor gear, vs the 150k~ for a full set of conquest
i dont care i want big number
so the honor upgrades are cheaper
hmm
yeah im missing a bm and a few mix stat pieces from this seas
honor gear is a bit lighter in the versa and some pieces have diff secondary options compared to conquest, but yeah much cheaper to honor upgrade than conquest upgrade
Also locked into tier piece stats if I've heard right which will be interesting
which pieces are those
and u only need 4?
I don't think its as required for arms, may be bis but not major
just have to be careful with legendary on tier set pieces since you have no control what tier slot you get til like 8 weeks in
by week12 everyone/all alts included can craft four specific tier pieces
good enough to keep you caught up at start of season
well I meant since I'm in full gear already this season
just some chars like rogue/warrior I'd rather have haste instead of crit in some slots
etc
for diff builds
i remember seeing somewhere it was the rank 7 honor gear that was duelist level but that is not gated behind anything except maybe 59 renown or something
no way its THAT high
oh wait you just repeated what other guy said read it wrong
so i dont need a duelist bm from this season whew
yep, great opportunity for getting your alts on a clean slate at the beginning
forgot that aspirant gear next seas actually has some cool pieces
best i could find but neat particle effects. slay the spire vibes
yeah that set actually looks nice, mainly the spell effects on helm of course
I cannot come close to a fury wars damage on solo que, even in the longer games with almost all double spears. as arms that is
Any idea how long it’ll be down tmrw
7am to 3pm so expect it to be even longer
reckon those're pacific times yeah?
feel like most of those announcements go off blizz HQ in cali
yes pst
what time is that in cet
arms 4pc is pretty mediocre in 3s, maay tech be bis or not but I doubt you'll notice playing 4pc and not playing 4pc on it
With how absurd fury warrior damage is right now, its hard to justify goinf arms
9.2 that is
Especially with tier
Considering fury is gonna receive the big boi nerf bat
fury war is actually pumping, outside of the broken 100-0 spec/gear combos they are consistently the highest damage, by a good margin. but this is skirmishes of course.
solo que skirmishes*
And all of yall not thinking this is coping way too hard
I mean fury right now is like fire in nyalotha
From what it seems
Kinda hope it stays as is
Would be fun to pump
From what i heard fury is pretty fun
In all content
Would be sick
Cuz they pumping
But yes, it will receive a nerf
unless its way ahead in pve I don't think it will or needs one
they'll ignore it if it isn't strong in pve
It's the warr disc. So no lol.
Seems like the tank absorb trinket isn't nerfed at all in pvp atm
i've never really played pvp in preseason. will rated 2s/3s be disabled entirely, or you just wont gain rating? which week will you start to be able to earn conquest? which week will you be able to earn your first pvp vault piece?
Season starts march1st, next tuesday, until then you will not earn conquest
you will still be able to que 2/3s
If they need fury then arms and fury will both be mid in raid
if they nerf either warrior is gonna be dog
Is there a vault reward for the first week?
tech yes, but season3 content will not be available so it will be a season2 vault
I mean at the end of the first week
meaning you can only get sanctum raid drops/season2 pvp gear in it
the vault on march 8th, the tuesday after march1st
will be the vault that can have season3 items in it
Interesting
only thing to do week1 is unlock all your new zone campaign quest stuff
or honor gear an alt or practice queing
Honor gear not available till March 1st as well?
i do wonder
not 100% sure, it may be
yes
since rating typically freezes in the 1 week offseason
Yeah I noticed rating already froze tonight
Not 100% sure if it will be since idk if the win, which will give no rating, will count to refresh the vault ilvl
mostly was wondering for my alt XD
pretty sure it was for the first vault in the season2 pre season
but that was like 5 years ago so who knows
since dom shards are gonna be worthless might as well use a 249 piece for pve stuff
next week
kek
couldn't catch up to enu 
god i wish
guys, could you help me with a macro? I have an issue with a arena1 macro. Is it possible to have an aerna 1 macro, that can be used in open world for the current target instead?
#showtooltip
/cast [@arena1] Stormbolt
/cast Stormbolt
doesnt work for me. Would be great if you have an idea how to fix it 🙂
/cast [target=arena1, harm][harm] Storm Bolt
Okay, cool. Replace arena1 with arena2, or focus, etc, and Storm Bolt with whatever spell name to tweak it for other stuff.
Ok, sure
oh shit LOL
i thought you could speak to a dude and they change you momentarily?
or is that just for bgs
ah okay thanks for the info
i totally fucked over my mates, misread that you could do it now and already made a horde char for 9.2 when everyone is ally
kek

idk if the exists tag works for this specific function but could try /cast [@arena1, exists][]Spell name
should default to target if there is no arena1
Obviously still more than playable, strong spec. Fury may do better, at least in some comps
Im guessing arms will be a lot more vulnerable to swaps now?
stun -> disarm, no parry, gg
True
But i think arms is still in a better spot than ww atleast
Since it also got nerfed pretty high
WW can still 100-0 with bonedust, and kyrian is also really strong
WW necro legendary is actually kind of nutty, I RNG back to back to back triple procs more often than I thought I would
had 45seconds of bonedust once
if i wanna buy the conquest jaithys can i do that in the offseason or do i get it now?
we're already offseason technically
eu so last day
i wanna buy it from the vendor still
got my medallion to elite as a lil keepsake
i guess getting 200 conquest in a day is a joke and i should just grind it now
yeah vendor inventory hasn't changed to my knowledge since patch isn't live
But bonedust with no images, no sweep and no keefer buffs does no dmg
no clue what happens to conq gear once it goes up tho
It's not 100-0 damage no but its a bump to your sustain, and fairly likely you get a bonedust proc for second images after they used everything/most things on your first initiaal go
makes a no images/high stack chi-ji proc hurt quite a bit more
testing if signet's bladestorm proc bypasses disarm rn. no dice, interesting
not surprising though
Yeah fair point aswell i guess you could sacrifice a charge of sef if you forced shit
Honestly felt like I had to leave fight on arms as much as I do on WW with the few 9.2 solo ques I was doing, except WW obviously has much easier/more frequent ways to exit a fight than arms.
legit had to use it more to intervene to a pillar than to protect someone, no lie
Oof
do we feel that much more fragile?
did to me, but its hard to get an accurate picture on ptr
only saw one other arms war today
everyone was fury
had a few double fury teams, pretty much every team just trained me
except the night fae sin rogues they would just pick someone and randomly 100-0 them in a second
just going to take a guess but while arms gets great double legendary synergy, it's set bonus, while not bad, is pretty lackluster
some classes seemed to get much better set bonuses that impact their burst/sustained in bigger ways , including I assume fury
i can't find much room to complain considering we've had two back to back S-tier seasons but it'll feel like a sharp contrast i'm sure
wuts the rogue 4pc
seems nuclear
?????
ikr?
haha DoT go brr
couple that with the fact that shiv is a slightly milder 9-sec sharpen with the talent they usually take and uh
scary
meanwhile ONLY arms has a dot and tge only way to get more is to spec into rend
kekw
i actually run rend for duels sometimes
or double dd plates
if u got like arm/disc just kill disc lolmao
into x2 DD plate i got massacre since its a live the go and oneshot one for us usually
