BGs are becoming more and more ridiculous to play, as more and more players jump to the top tier classes. Half the players in each BG are now arms warriors, ret paladins and MM hunters, making it more and more impossible to coexist without playing the same classes.
Please take a quality look at class balance before people start unsubscribing again. You did well with the release of Dragonflight, dont waste this opportunity of strengthening the relationship with the community.
It was always like that.
I played wow since Vanilla. The first bg was at low levels where I learnt everyone tried to be a twink hunter.
Then at level 60, most of them were warriors
And it kept going. Resto druid in tbc, Deathknights and holy paladins in wotlk and so on.
People just like to win.
I also played since vanilla. The balance was âbalancedâ by time constraints before. Getting to mad lvl, getting geared, took time. It now takes probably just 2 days getting a lvl 1 to lvl 70 with conquest gear, if you have spare conquest on other maxed classes.
We need more quality balancing of classes, or it is going to cost subscriptions, I guarantee it.
Its fast TTK started in Legion, they should balance for longer fights, nobody wants to fight 3,4 sec and hug gy for 30 sec respawn. One shots and bursting also should be gone. Ppl tend to say this is fun(like ret now) cause broken stuff is fun, its not fun to play against it.
Holinka does not know how to balance stuff, period.
I just tryâd a Random BG for the first time in a couple weeks and it was all Arms Warriors, Ret Paladins and Hunters. I was the only Evoker, there were 2 Priests and everyone else was RoguesâŠwhat on earth has happened to Unrated PvP?
It used to be my preferred endgame once i hit max level but now its just horrible. You feel completely powerless to do anything unless you religiously follow the meta and then create characters specifically designed for itâŠI like to use my main content character for PvP, and I donât think i should be punished for that in an unrated game mode.
They made gearing take 2-3 days tops through solo shuffle, on top of there being no mandatory time-gated artifact/legendary like the neck or SL legendaries, so everyone can log out and FOTM in under a week to the current OP thing.
To combat this, most people join in FOTMing as well, or they queue as a 5 stack. Either way, your BG experience will be awful most of the time.
The solution is to limit queue stacks to 2 people max and to stop giving classes literal hundreds of thousands of DPS potential while bursting into just 2 or 3 players stacked up. Cleave used to mean you reduced your single target damage in exchange for being able to cleave onto secondary targets. So for example the actual ability Cleave did less damage than Heroic Strike when used single target - nowadays, cleave doesnât have any draw backs. Often times your ability will just cleave for you, by itself, like with most of retâs current spellbar, and will actually make you much stronger single target by just cleaving onto 1 or 2 pets, nevermind 2, 3, 4, 5 extra nearby players.
Cleave used to also require you to be facing all targets, now its literally just âare you in the same BG?â and if yes, its all good.
while this has always kinda been the case, specially because the game âneeds to be balanced for arenaâ, some patches bgs are very fun and diverse, and every bg feels like something different
end of season always filled with fotm or flavour of the season class, and yes, rigth now hunter and pala are the 2 most dominating classes in bg
some bgs are basically unplayable and boring, and sometimes this happens for 10-15 bgs in a row, wish we would get the âweakâ classes some buff, or the strongest classes some nerf
right now it seems more logical to nerf the 2 highest ones, rather than buffing the weak classes/specs, but some classes do idd need buff cough cough
Iâve been doing a lot of pvp, and just stepped into MM Hunter in BGS, using the green AH âCrimsonâ gear while getting the blue honor gear. So far I have only 4 blue pieces. I only play ranged dps and have 4 classes in full purple with gear sets and enchants.
As MM with mainly greens I am feeling more impactful and more survivable in BGs than 2 of my specs, especially much easier to escape zug zugs.
Iâm doing more dps than my fully geared balance Druid and dying less than my fully geared s priest.
TJust queued into a WSG with the exact same thing on Alliance team: 3 Hunters, 3 Paladins, 1 Warrior, 1 Evoker and 2 Rogues. they GY camped us from the 2nd minute of the game.
MM hunter is the most OP spec ingame and it has been for many years. It also takes absolutely no skill to play. So, it is no wonder that a lot of people play it. Anyone can do well on specs like this.
I am getting tired of always facing the same few OP specs. Casters and healers are barely a thing in BGs. Itâs only melee zugzug and hunters.
