Ion is an elite gamer.

Cant be hardstuck in content I think is boring and don’t participate in

You did participate. 30 games, only 11 of which you’ve won, and you’ve not even managed to reach the ā€œcombatantā€ title at 1400, which is usually given for free.

It does seem like Mythic raiding is significantly easier.

Ah yes, because Sub rogue + x spec is harder to play with than mythic raiding.

Sub rogues doesn’t kill anything anymore that has gear or CD’s at the ready. They melt against Assassination rogues bleed and have to vanish and wont dare touch you again… (You all got what you wanted in the end) Next patch master assassin leggo gets nerfed in pvp as well, Sprinkle ontop.

What do you mean, ā€œ+ x specā€?
In 2s, they only play with Fire mages and the occasional boomkin. They’re complete and utter garbage with a healer or with any other spec.
In 3s, the only bracket that matters, they only play with mages as well. Sub is probably the one spec where you can really tell the average player from the good one.
Seeing how you struggled with a zugzug spec and 221 ilvl at 1000 CR, I doubt you’d even reach challenger playing sub.

You forgot the part where I did those games the first month of shadowlands?
If you’re gonna be smug about me only doing 30 games and not being a FOTM spec, atleast bring out your main so we can compare sizes. You haven’t even gotten a single dungeon achievement yet. Normals must be too hard for you?

This game would be fun, if every class got the sub rogue treatment of having the covenant ability and covenant conduit gutted by 50% each tbh. Oh and just nerf one of their flat damage modifiers by like 1/3rd for good measure.

I think every one would want to avoid SD whenever possible.

Tho DoS is quite nice… have had to run it like 20 times on this alt for several things… so much good stuff in there for enhancement

That’s because I’m not at all interested in them.
I easily completed +10’s for the first weeks of this alt with 0 gear in PUGs in order to get the first weekly vault’s 220 item and get started with the gearing process. Then I quickly reached Rival and stopped doing any PvE altogether.
From what I’ve experienced playing this with no gear and picking the first random people who showed up, I assume I could complete +15’s quite easily if I tried.
I’ll probably do that during the week just to get the point across. Doubt you could reach Challenger though, let alone Rival. PvP requires more focus than PvE.

And from what I’ve experienced playing pvp with no gear almost half a year ago and getting picked by a friend who wanted to play, I assume I could complete 2400’s quite easily if I tried.
I’ll probably do that during the week just to get the point across. Doubt you could reach Keystone Master though, let alone a single 15. PvE requires more focus than PvP.

Besides I think it’s funny you’re only 800 more rating than I was last year considering ā€˜ā€˜1400 is free’’.

I mean for the content he’s referring to (average joe content like heroic raids/Mythic 15s, 1600< pvp) u dont need more than 200 ilvl if u’re good at the game

what’s the point of this thread? 0

The comparison between us doesn’t exist.
+10 is closer to +15 than 1000 CR is to 2400 CR.

I’ll get a M+15 done in the days to come then bump this thread when it happens.
You, however, will not be able to reach a half-decent rating this season because PvP is significantly more demanding than PvE.

You don’t understand how arena works because you’ve never been above your current rating.
The first 1200 rating points don’t matter, they’re placement matches. You get +96 points per victory and you lose 0 when you’re defeated. Besides, you mostly play against undergeared opponents or meme double DPS comps that can’t work.
It’s legit free rating.
Once you’re above 1400, you start facing competitive players who know what they’re doing, and decent comps.
The fact that you struggle in the placement bracket is quite worrisome. It’s the equivalent of I failed to complete a heroic dungeon.

Guys stop fighting and git gud and give him 200 million bonus by buying boosts with tokens. Just git gud.

BS… BiS gear, conduits, legendary and ilvl is almost 1.5k dps when I sim top gear on raid robots.

No elitist super duper skilled player with 200 will pull numbers like a 213 or 226 player.

People are not asking to get 226 gear for free they ask for a proper loot amount and ilvl reward scaling in m+ because they are capping it from the beginning as they are way behind schedule.

First off though, I gotta admit that a lot of it is skill based. If you’re stuck at 1300 in full 200 gear - I’m sorry

Mmm yeah getting 226ilvl against me - 213. Reeeally could have done better, man… I’m silent about getting boosters against me in full duelist gear, hanging at my 1500 rating

I’d like to see you get KSM this week. If you do (without getting boosted by friends or communities), I’m beat.

Signs of dementia?

Won’t happen. Not because it’s hard, but because it requires 8 dungeons. I quite simply don’t have enough time for this.
I will most definitely get one or two however.

Good luck reaching 1600.

So m+15 is harder than your current 1800?

Look, I know PvP isnt a walk in the park. I just think that Mythic raiding is harder than high end PvP.
