Hey guys…
What is the average wait time for a BG, doesnt matter if WSG or AB…
For both Alliance and Horde.
Cheers
Alliance is instant because no sane player would face shaman RN. Horde has to wait until they make shaman a normal class instead of a walking killing god machine.
When you think it can’t be worse… We actually miss the SP moonkin meta

No one is doing BGs because there’s almost no reason to do them.
-
Warsong Gulch: No reason to do it before reaching Revered because of the Ashenvale PvP event, so less people playing. Also, almost everyone who went for exalted for the bracers did it during P1, so there’s that.

Arathi Basin: A tedious grind that’s not worth the hassle, in my opinion. The gear rewards are not that great and you are locked of certain pieces because they are class restricted. It’s also arguably faster to farm rep using the STV PvP event, making the queues even longer.
On top of that, the highest PvP rank you can get now is rank 5. You can easily go from 1 to 5 in a week. So you can guess that almost everyone already has it. And let’s be real, very few people are doing all of this on their alts.

Fixed that for you.
Tell that to the people not queueing, not me.

They removed most of the incentives to play bg, honor past rank 5, STV better for rep & honor anyway. STV being new and more fun when not lagging.
Tnx for the reply guys. Looks like i gotta settle for just Wpvp atm… But thinking that Alliance got instant que is also not bad 
Cheers guys
Then you would not play SoD… or even WoW really

What is you problem with the shamans, i don’t get it? I’m melee hunter and even after so many nerfs i do not have lost fight vs them in STV.
I mean they have to be right, i havn’t lost a single ab, and it is not because saddenly i became a god gamer
it is not about 1v2 but group combat. enha could tank enormous dmg and is unkillable when healed. have 8% crit reduction which is not such a great deal against hunter but other melees dont have 20-30% on their main dps ability
I’m enjoying nearly instant AB queues as alliance and it’s legit fun unless we face premades of 5.
WSG however I will never enter again after the exalted grind of P1.
His problem is the class isn’t bad at everything for once. Some just can’t stand it. Even in phase 1 when the only thing shamans could do well was tank you had plenty of people crying for that to be nerfed because it was too good. Never mind the fact that the only thing it actually did well was snap AOE aggro.

1200+ posts. Latest are all about you playing a shaman victim card, when literally every sane person that does pvp knows that WoE is the current unrivaled meta. People don’t care if shamans are viable or not, it is simply all about being able to kill someone and have fun. You cannot mathematically go through the passive mitigation WoE shaman has in pvp, especially if he is elemental (wearing a shield).
Have you tried git gud?
I will elaborate a bit. You only see it through your perspective, which is that you get demolished, hence you think it’s OP. I will not deny that shaman rips through scrubs like it’s nothing right now, but that’s because they don’t do any of the things that counter them. Good players however do, and against said good players shaman doesn’t appear that OP.
There’s a lot of crying about WoE, that it’s oh so OP. But is it really balanced if a HoJ or any rogue stun is a guaranteed death? Or that you simply will not survive running up to a boomkin or SP? Because that’s what it looks like without WoE.

All other classes don’t have WoE and if they don’t commit any major cd, they die. Shaman has luxury to survive doing nothing.
You are telling a lifetime 18+ years exp, currently 2400 both on holy and ret on retail in RSS player to get gud lol. Stop embarassing yourself and admit that this rune has no place in pvp.
I am not telling you that shaman should not have any source of defense. They can add astral shift as an active defense tool or buff SR. But having so much passive mitigation is a joke.
Other classes have other things, such as gap closers, defensives, stuns, ways to disengage. Shamans have none of that, they do however have a bit more HP instead.
Well that is what most are demanding, and in lieu of any other solution that is the result.
