It is just gets almost no benefit from tier

sharp meteor
#

??

wet scarab
#

4pc that is

sharp meteor
#

??

wet scarab
#

You need to maintain uptime to ensure the strength buff from the 4pc doesn’t fall off because it relies on overpower tactician procs

#

If you’re getting kited you can’t maintain it with high efficiency

sharp meteor
#

You need to maintain uptime on literally anything to do damage as a warrior yes

#

For you see it is a melee class

wet scarab
#

Yes but that isn’t a problem in a straight up comparison, it loses value when you compare it to fury 4pc

sage raptor
#

Arms has always been clunky

sharp meteor
#

Fury is in shambles if it gets kited heavily

wet scarab
#

With the 4pc and reckless abandon you cannot be kited for an appreciable length of the game

#

You are running around with charge raging blow for like 60% of the game

#

It’s like the condemn death sentence spam of yesteryear

#

There are very few games rn with the 4pc where I’m not doing between 6 and 8k dps which feels better than the control arms gives you

#

It’s a dumb playstyle for sure

carmine cairn
#

lol just found out they have nerfed DStance for PvP furter. So it is now 10% defensive 20% dmg reduction

#

it is hillerios that now it is opposite of Dstance in PvE

sharp meteor
#

dstance is cringe play leap cdr

#

gas pedal full send every game

#

dstance is death

jaunty furnace
#

For the fury pvp players out there do you use signet as your legendary

sharp meteor
#

seein signet and deathmaker ya

simple rock
#

like half and half for me, in 3s at least

#

I like signet into disarm comps

#

but deathmaker is more consistent dmg

#

if you have good uptime

#

Where should i craft my legis as arms kyrian?

#

I got old head and the belt from the quest, now i can choose unity and i got enough money to go for another endruing blow

simple rock
#

please does anyone have the knowledge

#

specifically talking about the vanish vendetta double envenom crit cheese

sharp meteor
#

I don't know why it would except maybe ripping sepsis off.

jaunty furnace
#

I keep getting flamed for taking storm bolt as fury instead of impending victory hmm

frank knoll
#

I feel like reckless defense has some merit too

mystic barn
#

Ya take ur free 30k heal dude

undone pumice
#

arms is in shambles if kited too @sharp meteor

#

fury has better stick with RA tho

frank knoll
#

I’m happy fury is kind of having its day, really fun spec to play

warped warren
#

na

mystic barn
#

fury is the best thing that’s happened to arms

#

Are you doing turbos in 2s

simple rock
#

nah just playing with whatever healer that's online

usually

wicked bison
#

is their a cap on movement speed things i bought a ring+gem but gem it didnt go up

sharp meteor
#

Nope.

#

Also the 3% and 5% gems don't show as they're a different kind of speed.

#

But still work just fine.

elder wigeon

why execute for 10k when you can execute for 40k

undone pumice
#

why execute

#

for 40k

#

if u can rampage for 50k

elder wigeon
#

rampage does 15k dmg with cds who you tryna fool

undone pumice
#

u rampage many times

#

with lower gcd

elder wigeon
#

weird you can't rampage faster than arms can execute

undone pumice
#

ur gcd lower

#

so yes

elder wigeon
#

no

full quiver
#

Lol

undone pumice
#

why rely on enemy low hp or proc

#

when i rely on rampage

elder wigeon
#

why is arms highest rated spec

#

whats going on there

#

it... couldn't be that arms is also... maybe.. really good too???

undone pumice

retail fury warriors seethe when they realize arms has 50% ms until cata

raw summit
#

Why dont we have it now

#

Actually need it

undone pumice
#

i think we do?

elder wigeon
#

in pve we do

raw summit

Ok give 80%okayge

Anything sadge

raw summit
#

Poor arm class

mystic barn
#

titan grip looks super stupid

elder wigeon
#

slaughterhouse should just be a passive for rampage and should be there for pve

mystic barn
#

arms would be cooler if it had 2hander in right hand and shield in left

elder wigeon
#

mop sadge

#

when you shield walled you'd do that

undone pumice
#

tru

elder wigeon
#

or spell reflected

undone pumice
#

that ws a real spec in wrath too

#

in pve at least

elder wigeon
#

two hand in 1 hand and shield in the other?

undone pumice
#

yes

elder wigeon
#

wtf

#

i miss mop animations lmao

#

you'd slam while sprinting and your feet would just be sliding

#

janky as fuck but i miss it

undone pumice

yeah i saw some old vids by like

You are the king of comebacks bro

#

Sup lads, playing fury with kings lego, pretty fun. Tell me, if I get a free proc of avatar instead of bladestorm, do I pop BS or do I wait for my first cd to go down

raw summit
#

I generally cancel it when i can ramage again in pve

#

So ig same for pvp

#

Unless you wanna stay spinning for cc

#

Refresh enrage before second spin

wanton siren
#

I played with a dk, and when he grips them all in, I get a free bladestorm the dmg is insane

#

Feels weird playing without a stun but the sustain is pretty nice

raw summit
#

Fury bs hurts a lot yea

full quiver
#

Gnomes have best animations

sharp meteor
#

Gnomes are stupid and awful.

full quiver
#

Escape artist all those naughty auto venthyr roots to keep executing

sage raptor
#

Don't forget hunters

raw summit
#

Gnome look dumb

sage raptor
#

For a race that supposedly smart, they're pretty dumb.

raw summit
#

I played some classic SoM, right? Started dwarf cuz funny beard

#

HALF THE FUCKING STARTING ZONE

#

Was bald male gnome

#

So disgusting

sage raptor
#

Ew wtf

raw summit

I blaim jokered

#

Or whatever that guys called

#

Since his gnome is bald

undone pumice
#

ok but

#

gnome racial is good

#

if only they werent ugly

upbeat sapphire

Gnomes can look alright like my TBC-era mage still does. Those bald Cailou-looking ones though 😬

ayo 🤨 📸

manic raptor
#

Does anyone have a decent explanation as to why pressing raging blow with Reckless abandon doesn’t charge into bm hunters? The damage goes out but the charge doesn’t…

wheat jay
#

Must be right at the end of the melee range

manic raptor
#

Nah I don’t think so, cause I can’t rampage etc cause out of range but I can raging blow

frank knoll
#

Anyone use Reckless defense?

elder wigeon
#

I can see it being a good option into most things

wet scarab
sharp meteor
#

The bug is that you'd sometimes hit them without charging.

#

Which I feel like is probably a server/ping thing

wet scarab
#

Yeah sorry I don’t mean a bug in that it wasn’t intended just that it does the damage but you don’t actually end up being on the target at the end of the cast

#

Might be a ping thing with raging blow im not sure

sharp meteor
#

also getting pulled on your charge with warbringer still does the dam which is neat

#

just killed a druid with a charge despite being vortexed on it

wet scarab
#

Happened to me in a couple of games last night

wet scarab
#

Comedy

sharp meteor
#

enjoying warbringer and bounding more and more

#

don't have to think about dstance or duel bedge

wet scarab
#

Blizzard was weaning us

manic raptor
#

Especially when they have rdruid

wet scarab
#

Make sure you spec bloodrage for a 20 sec root break

manic raptor
#

They reapply the slow instantly no?

wet scarab
#

They do but it confuses them

#

BM hunter iq etc

manic raptor
#

You get on them, hamstring they pet freedom

#

Hahahaha nah

wet scarab
#

Plus nobody understands fury yet

manic raptor
#

This bm hunter was iq12milluon

#

Beat them once with a druid switch but so dam hard

wet scarab
#

Usually when they’re super annoying I like and kill their pet

#

Line

manic raptor
#

Yeah did that

wet scarab
#

Druid is often the play in mid to late game, if you get in range with recklessness and conq banner up with reckless abandon talent you can kill them in a go with the repeat charge

manic raptor
#

Yeah I think that’s the play tbh more switches

#

Probably on second reck

wet scarab
#

Yeah that’s always how I’ve won those games, I actually love aggro druids as fury

#

Basically any Druid who tries bash and cyclone for the opener on me has died

#

I trinket the clone and pop recklessness and go to town

#

Dumb that early in the match but it has worked like 80% of the time

manic raptor
#

Yeah fair call

spice hornet
#

how much rating would DHs lose collectively if blur wasn't bugged

#

giving extra dodge

near delta
#

An insurmountable amount

#

They'd just die in the opener every game

#

If they don't nether

spice hornet
#

50%

#

its literally like 90%

#

in pvp

near delta
#

Jesus lol

#

I thought it was 80

sharp meteor
#

50% is what it should be, but it's 80% in PVP for no reason.

#

The base 12-15 shouldn't be functional otherwise

#

you'd have classes rng dodging kidneys etc

mystic barn
#

“Blur sux”

#

what if blur isn’t bugged and that the devs intended this to happen and for us to accept this is how dh is supposed to be

#

Also the fact that dhs can blur > hpriest can fully reset the blur cd > dh can blur again is uhhh

near delta
#

NF hpriest is absurd

mystic barn
#

It isn’t nf that does it

#

just hpriest

near delta
#

Ohhhh right

mystic barn
#

Nf effects meta iirc

near delta
#

That change in 9.2

#

*9.1

#

Did it get buffed or something I didn't really remember people mentioning it too much last season

#

Or just cause hpriest are so good in general now

mystic barn
#

It just subtracts 60 sec from defensive cd

#

And blur is already 1min and soon other dhs will have less than 1min blur

near delta
mystic barn
#

I was kicking symbols bc mana regen and never noticed that it reduced dcds until earlier today

#

(Bc usually hpriest symboled themselves for mana)

#

oh lol it reduces the cd of everyone dcd within 40 yards

near delta
#

That... is something

spice hornet
#

rmp opens on me bust blades mindgames bomb

#

smoke bomb as well

#

i trinket

#

rogue 100-0's me in the duel 20 sec later

#

why is this a thing

near delta
#

Or assa vs hpriest

#

Assa vendettas

#

Use a defensive as usual

#

Vendetta is right back up before you have cds again

mystic barn
#

Unless ur dh with symbols of hope

#

@sharp meteor what’s cd of dbts at max conduits actually

spice hornet
#

q some 3s at 2400, 4 rmps, 2 demo lock spriest teams

#

time to log off

sharp meteor
#

Queue up, Magnus breaks my skull wokege At least the rest of the games went well

earnest wharf
#

if i don't plan on getting tier set for fury anytime soon since just resubbed since 9.0, should I do legs for deathmaker since it'll be my highest ilvl piece by far?

#

and legs have bigger stats than cloak?

mystic barn
#

wym plan

#

the tier comes to you on its own choice, and catalyst is soon

earnest wharf
#

ahh i don't have to raid to get a decent ilvl tier set? lol i'm lost since been off too long

undone pumice
#

teapot does france cosplay

wet scarab
undone pumice
#

can confirm

#

i got shoulders

mystic barn
#

Yes creation catalyst lets you turn pvp pieces into scaling tier, or can drop straight from pvp vault

#

So don’t bother crafting on legs it’s inting at this point

#

Waste of money

undone pumice
#

crafting on legs is gonna be good later

wet scarab
#

Catalyst unlocks in 9 days I think?

undone pumice
#

what stats is legs

#

?

wet scarab
#

Crit haste

#

Tier that is

earnest wharf
#

ahh thx, once i get my rep grind done i'll get the 291 cloak and go for tier then

#

currently playing venthyr with the 265 Unity belt that gives Sinful Surge. This paired with Deathmaker on cloak, and 4pc set eventually is an OK combo for fury PVP?

sharp meteor
#

It felt pretty nice to me.

undone pumice
#

crit haste tier

sharp meteor
#

I've only got 2pc, though.

undone pumice
#

it seems like if fury is bis

#

you replace legs eitg dm/unity

#

no vers + crit is bad secondary on fury

#

its not bad but haste and mast is better ykwim

sharp meteor
#

Potentially, yeah.

sharp meteor
#

Unity ring for more haste, perhaps?

#

Leg conq + 4pc

undone pumice
#

legendary legs have more stat budget than conq

#

and having a legendary ring is

sharp meteor
#

Muh haste

undone pumice
#

i already hate having signet

#

on ring

#

imagine ppl who have signet and unity on ring

#

no speed ring

manic raptor
sharp meteor
#

Wow, so the condemn charge bug might've just been...because people jumped?

mystic barn
#

lol?

#

I thought the bug was tied to sudden death proc

sharp meteor
#

Perhaps they share the mini charge mechanic and its interactions.

tawny elm
#

anybody else that uses plater and have an issues with the nameplates disappearing after hunters feign death?

near delta
tawny elm
#

aah ok. ty!

subtle tendon
#

Is venthyr playable as fury or are necro and kyrian just to strong to pass ?

elfin surge
upbeat sapphire
#

So back to the “where to craft DM / Unity” thing, what secondaries does Fury PvP actually want?
Between Helm / Chest / Legs tier stats are H/V / M/H / C/H and we can choose one to supersede with Unity

undone pumice
#

prefer haste/ mastery over crit

#

crit worse than those 2 stats for fury

open glacier
#

vers is not a thing in pvp anymore?

undone pumice
#

every pvp piece has vers

#

so its not worth mentioning

open glacier
#

not full pvp yet and tier barely has vers

#

do we seek any %? like 30?

undone pumice
#

30+

open glacier
#

ok thx

undone pumice
#

although witgout the set bonus vers is weaker now

raw summit
#

I hate not having my 44% mastery in pvp as fury sadge

#

Too much crit arm gear

undone pumice
#

same

#

although for some reason

#

even with 0 mastery gear

#

i always had 7% masrery

#

mastery should be the arms stat tho

#

battle hardened master of weaponry

#

not using mastery

raw summit
#

well arm mastery meh

undone pumice
#

yeah

#

thats the problem

upbeat sapphire
#

All my hmming and hahing and 291 helm is 94 / 94 +16 with stats of my choosing with 278 tier legs being 117 C / 62 H, or 278 tier helm being 103 H / 77 V with 291 legs 94/94. So 156 H / 117 C / 110 V vs. 197 H / 171 V

raw summit
#

what

upbeat sapphire
#

Like I'm overthinking it the difference isn't very much

raw summit
#

that 8 weeks will feel absolutely horrible

then eventually 1pc/day

3 boxes on each every week

awful awful awful

it hurts them in revenue

literally no upside

like dude the unranked pvp playerbase has gotten jack all for the whole expansion

and you keep doing the same stupid thing over and over and over

and most people don't play ranked in pvp so like

There is absolutely no way this is better for them finanically

Absolutely no way

surely it's finicnaially in their interests to make unranked pvp a little less shit? even paying literally one guy to make tweaks?

I mean, I get them giving the finger to PvPers since they dgaf

lucid walrus
#

people will say “yeah dude things are grindy bc time metrics” yet the real gate is lockouts for tier at this point

sand shadow
#

but corruptions, conduits, covenants, legendaries, and now tier

#

this shit hurts everybody

lucid walrus
#

honor grind, renown, campaign & 2 legendaries all miserable

sand shadow
#

yeah but thats so incredibly short sighted anyway

#

even if these tactics provide a bump in time spent metrics

#

this is a very short-term strat

#

people eventually quit

lucid walrus
#

mhm

#

best method is uh

sand shadow
#

it's a dogshit approach

lucid walrus
#

making the game feel good

sand shadow
#

let me give you an example

#

In S1 SL, for the first time ever, I didn't PvP almost at all

#

I got 2.4k for the weps, and did tryharding M+

#

as prot

#

my Bnet friends kept bugging me the entire season for queues

#

I wanted to queue

#

because no M+ at that time

#

but simply could not, because I couldn't switch my conduits

#

this is PvP for arms

lucid walrus
#

yup

sand shadow
#

also, I joined a guild

#

they needed me as fury dps

#

I couldn't, for the same reason

lucid walrus
#

remember covenant swap lockouts LOL

sand shadow
#

so you have a situation where a person wants to play

lucid walrus
#

good lord what a joke

sand shadow
#

but you create barriers

#

to dissuade him from doing so

#

fucking crack heroin logic

lucid walrus
#

“opportunity cost, meaningful choice”

sand shadow
#

I would've played way more, and therefore contributed to their blasted time metrics way more, if they just lifted all these nonsenical restrictions

#

its the same right now

#

as soon as I got 2pc on my other warrior

#

I spam queued

#

because it was fucking fun

#

and I'd imagine many others feel the same way

#

something new to test out

#

to have fun with

lucid walrus
#

the “good” news at this point is i’m so discouraged from playing alts that i just care about my main warrior

#

get 3x vault doing whatever with friends —> touch grass and do classwork

sand shadow
#

yep, good job then blizzard

#

force players to not play instead of playing

#

that ought to be good

#

for the bottom line

fickle forge
#

Others will gain a piece and get no added power

sharp meteor
#

Like just open it tomorrow and let people craft as many pieces as they want with flux or w/e idk

undone pumice
#

gold if ur a sadist

sharp meteor
#

Would've sold some of my tcg if gold was useful

sand shadow
#

I mean, the damage is already irrevocably done

sharp meteor
#

maybe s4 will be chill 🤠

#

actually unreal how much of a mess each expansion is until the final patches

#

and then they throw everything out and start fresh with a new expansion

sand shadow
#

yeah, tends to happen when 80iq department-wide people are obviously making decisions for your business

#

wonder who's dick ion is sucking to not have been fired/replaced about 5 times already

undone pumice
#

i mean

sand shadow
#

put him in charge of raids or wtv and get someone with vision

undone pumice
#

ion should know waht we feel like

sharp meteor
#

it'd take SO little for the game to be good

#

just some number tweaks

#

heck

undone pumice
#

he did some of the math for the c?thun "mathematically impossible"

sharp meteor
#

bruh does he even still play

undone pumice
#

probably not

#

but he should know what we feel like now

#

he was acc good at the game at some point keks

sand shadow
#

imagine if SL started w/ no cov locks

#

no conduit crap

undone pumice
#

or yknow

sand shadow
#

current Renown systems

undone pumice
#

legendaries being purchased with the RANDOM FUCKING CURRENCY THEY MADE AND NOT GOLD

sand shadow
#

current legendaries systems

#

the infuriating part is that this isn't something where you can go "oh, the power of hindisght"

#

it was obvious

#

to many, many people

sharp meteor
#

bruh alpha/beta testing was like

#

yo this shit sucks

#

and a full year later

undone pumice
#

the cocaine decision of renown locking

sharp meteor
#

i get what they were going for

#

which was trying to space out goals for

sand shadow
#

imagine having so little faith in your work

sharp meteor
#

glue sniffing casuals

#

who don't play the gaame

sand shadow
#

that you still have to artifically prop up some metrics

#

instead of going the libertarian road, and just allowing people to enjoy your game

undone pumice
#

capitalism time

#

😎👍

sand shadow
#

I can't imagine the last time any artifical barrier/time gate made real sense

#

literally every single one I can think of has been self-sabotage

#

why lock covenants? What does it achieve in real terms? Absolutely nothing

#

but the downsides are very real

#

what would've been so damaging to the game about having free access to all covenants? Even from a lore standpoint it made complete sense

#

seeing as how we're there to assist these pepegas with their broken machine of death etc

gloomy beacon
#

Yeaaaa the covenant loyalty thing made no sense since it’s not even like the covenants are outright hostile to each other

wooden chasm
#

im a fury player trying to climb arena should i learn arms if i want to actually play competitively or is fury going to be better? I saw mes playing fury in AWC but not sure if that was comp dependent

sand shadow
#

both work/are good rn

undone pumice
#

it woud literally make more sense to not have alli + horde chars at the same realm

#

but it doesnt because we abandoned that conflict uhh

#

every expanison so far

thin hornet
#

Using my conquest on weapons first is the way to go right? For Fury

sharp meteor
#

Buy one conquest 2h asap, yes.

thin hornet
#

not second asap as well?

A fully upgraded honor one is pretty good since it has haste

#

i just queued a dh with 2 set

#

wtf

#

why does it do so much dam

undone pumice
#

donkey go ptsd from 4pc dh+dk+hpal

spice hornet
#

their 2 set is dumb

#

their 4 set also makes meta insanely short

sharp meteor
#

Can't wait to queue fury, havoc or frost mage with nf hpriest to get big cd cdr bedge

onyx dagger
#

im regearing my dh rn and just got 2 set this week

flat isle
#

I find a lot of DHs don't even think 4 piece is worth it

onyx dagger
#

started queing and just destroyed poor folks at low cr

#

dmg is wonky

raw summit
#

so i just got eaten

#

if i was arm itd been a bit easier

sharp meteor
raw summit
#

but then healer got 10k sweep'D

near delta
spice hornet
#

yes

sharp meteor
near delta
#

Lmao

spice hornet
#

so that was probably over 20k

sharp meteor
#

My healer giving me CDR and Power Infusion bedge

flat isle
#

20-30 off a 4 minute cooldown isn't SUPER huge. Like I mean I guess it's not terrible but it's not as strong as some other 4 pieces

#

Like destro/fury etc

sharp meteor
#

It's a few little slashes then a super big one (that also applies the ms).

#

You can SOMETIMES outplay it

#

like feigning it on hunter so it does no dam

near delta
#

When you get crit for 25k by an empowered fel rush

flat isle
#

Destro 4 piece is insane

near delta
#

Speaking of alts, is there a good way to get caught up on cosmic flux?

onyx dagger
near delta
#

Seems like quite a bit for 2 291 leggos

onyx dagger
#

so then youve got 90 second meta

#

its nutty

flat isle
#

I mean its a 90 seconds meta that lasts 10 seconds

onyx dagger
flat isle
#

I've not seen many DHs running short meta

#

Sorry I read the talent wrong

full quiver
#

you would run it with the 4pc

onyx dagger
#

25 second base, minus 10, +6 from 4p

full quiver
#

since you get 2x the value from it

flat isle
#

It reduces by 10 seconds

onyx dagger
#

right

full quiver
#

then you get additional 6 from eye beam during it

onyx dagger
#

its not at all necessary, and for plenty of comps there are better options

#

but on longer matches its really valuable

flat isle
#

I guess it's more that I find a lot of other tier 4 piece bonuses more problematic than DH

onyx dagger
#

for sure agree, you feel dh 2p more than the 4p when matching against it

#

im running around critting people for 15-20k with sweep rn just randomnly

sand shadow
#

in 2s, 4pc meta DH is worth it 100000%

#

Fought a number of them

#

they play w/ demonic origins w/ it pretty sure

onyx dagger
#

yup

flat isle
#

I also don't do many 2s above 2100 because I already hate myself enough in 3s spam Qing into MLX

#

Got my conduits in 3s and that was already torture

onyx dagger
#

yeah i dont like high 2s

#

especially as war

#

but as dh

#

2s v'nice

sand shadow
#

its normal not to like them as warrior

#

you're fighting demigods compared to you

onyx dagger
#

i mean i extra dont like it after picking up the dh again

sand shadow
#

warrior was, and continues to be B-Tier in 2s

onyx dagger
#

but, dh/fury/x

#

big stronk

sand shadow
#

its actually even worse this patch, because your biggest counters got even stronger relatively speaking

#

all I know is I've not joined a single 2v2 game in ages

#

where I see the enemy comp

#

and feel like I have the definitive advantage

elfin surge
sand shadow
#

of all the stuff thats popular at high mmr, the fairest matchups are vs sub/hpriest

onyx dagger
flat isle
#

To be fair, in 2s I just go full ape when I see a hunter or something mobile.

#

Double time, RA and I have 4 set

#

Just basically zerg them and either kill or die

near delta
#

Reckless abandon into hunters is beautiful

onyx dagger
#

i dont have 4p yet, should try fury again when i get

near delta
#

Double time and warbringer and just never let then have a moments peace

wheat jay
#

played against 3 fury warrs with 4set yesterday

#

just additional 12 charges

#

yep

#

ngl, fury is the bm hunter of season 3

#

but heals more

#

xD

nimble jasper
#

basically dh isnt it

wheat jay
#

dh you can stop

#

or kite it

#

slow

#

root etc

#

also i don't think dh is at the level of last season bm

#

whereas fury is

#

just my opinion

nimble jasper
#

they’re both really dumb

#

minus blur is literal immunity while its up

#

think im starting to see more wws again after awc

#

smh people actually thought it was gonna be bad initially

wheat jay
#

lol

sand shadow
#

fury is overhyped AF rn tbf

wheat jay
#

do you have 4set?

nimble jasper
#

people are sheep to w/e people q on awc

near delta
#

I've been playing arms in 3s again lately and I really prefer it

sand shadow
#

2pc and a brain, yes

near delta
#

Only have 3 tier pieces though

wheat jay
#

get 4set

#

you'll wreck

nimble jasper
#

assa 4p tho is big lmao

#

literally just statcheck

#

any rsham team

sand shadow
#

idk, people told me I was crazy that warlocks would smash

near delta
#

When are rshams getting that buff

sand shadow
#

or that resonator would be RMP toy

#

or that echoing resolve is OP AF

#

I can keep listing

#

🙂

wheat jay
#

resolve kekw

nimble jasper
#

idk how you can look at resonator and not realize

#

its an rmp trinket

#

tbh

wheat jay
#

love how whenever i see resolve on healer, i know its a free win xD

sharp meteor
#

ghetto as spear trinket wym

near delta
#

The only people saying that it wouldnt were rmps and warlocks lol

sharp meteor
#

i think my healer nearly died when i bombed somebody week 1 in a spear for like 50k

nimble jasper
#

warlock players always pretend their class is bad

#

pve pvp

#

doesnt matter

sharp meteor
#

im like hey watch this

#

look im an rmp player

sand shadow
#

4pc fury is 48rage per reck proc

#

not bad

#

not insane

raw summit
#

one q why does chaosbolt dam sometimes come twice

nimble jasper
#

altho people who play resolve trinket into wws

#

are big funny

sharp meteor
#

or do u mean havoc

nimble jasper
#

considering you can just disable root off the trinket

#

every time

#

@sand shadow saw a guy on forums defending resolve lock

near delta
#

I average about 12k per crushing blow with RA

nimble jasper
#

“they didnt play it into ww mage in awc therefore its fine”

near delta
#

I think

#

So could definitely just kill somebody with a proc

sand shadow
#

people told me I am a literal idiot to suggest Echoing Resolve will change the face of arena

nimble jasper
#

yeah dont play it into a comp that can literally make your trinket useless

#

resolve mlx is dumber than rmp rn

sand shadow
#

so yeah, I guess I don't pay much attention to what most people say

nimble jasper
#

and nothing will change my mind on that

sand shadow
#

resolve is the dumbest thing to touch arena, yes 🙂

#

in my personal opinion

#

i'd rather have drestagath back

nimble jasper
#

my biggest issue with rmp is mostly just

near delta
#

Why are they futzing around with basic arena mechanics

nimble jasper
#

that comp should not be allowed

near delta

So sketch

a 2k mage player made it

5 teams in a row

then asked what i hit him with

not relaizing that he killed him

actually you’d be amazed

at how many career 1.8 mages cant cast

prob why class isnt nerfed yet

sharp meteor

literally me but i have never played mage before

#

frost bolt go brr

cuz devs are low rated monkeys

#

PvP is in an extremely shit spot rn

#

for everyone, literally

#

i had a friend of a friend who was like 2k on destro in bfa for 2500 games and im like YOOO only queue with destro or fire bro literally nothing else dont @ me

#

i swear mage it feels like

#

@nimble jasper bold of you to assume there are any pvp devs

sharp meteor
#

few weeks later he's 2600

sand shadow
#

its not just 2-3 classes having issues

#

its everyone 🙂

nimble jasper
#

the learning curve is big but any wizard player

#

can abuse how broken mage is

wheat jay
#

at least melee meta is fun

#

usually

undone pumice
#

haha i love pressing 1 button /year or pressing 50 buttons per frame

sand shadow
#

I mean, I get it that some specs are more complex to play. I alt BM, DH, I can confirm that. Point is, there are many people that CAN play them

#

And when they meet other people that are experts at their own classes, and just get clapped no RE

#

it's simply not an excuse

sharp meteor
#

i had a bricked wr vs retwarr last season too

wheat jay
#

retwarr is retarded tho

I tried retwarr btw for the first time a few days ago

hard to have fun stuff in wow

#

give me melee/caster/healer comps any day

sharp meteor

#

we really need to get back to that

sharp meteor
#

yeah ranged/warr/healer most fun

cuz meta is either braindead running like ret warr or tsg

well aside from double healer bedge i love turbo

or casters and rmp

nimble jasper

thoughts?

u forgot turbo @wheat jay

only god's own son could manage that feat

undone pumice

like

#

same as affli last season

why do classes completely fluctuate between S tier COMPLETELY OP and d tier unplayable right guys

wheat jay

snorts line of cocaine BRUH YOU NEED TO DO 50 THINGS TO GET GOOD AFFLI BURST, MAN ITS HARD

sand shadow
#

because the competition is brutal nowadays

nimble jasper
#

idk what you mean

#

mage is always s tier

wheat jay
#

so is rogue

sand shadow
#

trust me when I tell you, when I was a god of PvP in TBC

nimble jasper
#

ehh

#

at least rogue drops to A

sand shadow
#

Anyone even remotely lower exp than me

nimble jasper
#

sometimes

I'd completely stomp

@nimble jasper copium sure it does buddy

undone pumice
#

"back in the day i'd whoop these young whippersnappers"

nimble jasper
#

early 9.0 rogue post skulkers oneshot abuse you could say rogue was only a tier

because you couldnt solo people on your own

then 9.0.5 came

fam

nimble jasper

and venthyr onedance duel

still s tier

and just appropriate the knowledge

undone pumice

watching wow is literally

I am not saying it's a hard rotation, I am saying it's more complex than Arms 🙂

prot is hardest rotation keks

ssssh dont talk about ignore pain

ya gotta setup those juicy thicc shield slams

Fury is just hard cause it can make your wrist fall off

they should have hit ip not d stance

You have 3 things to maximize uptime of

now they hit both
