fast paced is not bad, sustained high dmg is good.
1shot burst dmg is not.
leads to boring defensives trading yada yada, sometimes even 2-3 bc burst is so high.
i still prefer this over 10min damp games though
Maybe if you write a wall of text filled with garbage you’ll get on the community council and he’ll read your post. Remember that you shouldn’t space your sentences when you send in your application. Also write alot of long sentences about nothing so it seems like you have something to say but it’s really just a bunch of nothing. Remember to spellcheck your writing so it looks professional.
Its a rpg. People will always find a way to cheese or 1shot.
Its just sad Blizzard needs (no joke) years to balance. I know games where they weekly or monthly patch pvp.
But hey atleast they balance torghast ever month or so
The problem is they cant balance it without reworking big parts of certain classes, especially if big parts of the big bursts are very RNG-based. Well, they CAN, but that would create even greater unbalance but in the other direction.
What they need to do is put a cap of how much HP a character can lose at a given time, like they did in other mmos. Capping 40% hp every second means that you can kill somone at full HP in a minimum of 2.1 seconds, and soneone at 50% in 1.1 second. Its still extremely fast gameplay, but not there 0.5 sec 100-0. You could even go 30% hp / second, which would enable someone do die 100-0 no faster than 3.1 seconds.
Last PvP person who left Blizzard year ago said they have TWO people working with these kind of problems. Blizzard has thousands of employees who play FPS and mobile games. Its insanity. Game has like 4 fun and dynamic specs right now. Sub, Shadow, Fire and Surv.
Even with 2 employees working only on PvP; they should be able to at least push a simple 5% buff/nerf hotfix every 2 weeks. - See a class that has 40% representation in arena? Slam a 5% nerf.
It is ridiculous how long it has been without any serious PvP changes.
They have left the “pvp balancing” to the patches, meaning whichever class scales better will rise to the meta, and now, especially when 2 legendaries come in play, it’s gonna shake it up a bit.
But still, ridiculous.
Considering how the burst is even gonna get crazier with 9.2, I don’t see why they don’t apply the Mists of Pandaria method, and just give 82% baseline resilience to players.
Honestly, this is just fixed with early dampening. Idk why they have to make some clown fiesta 1 shot meta instead of just making dampening kick in faster. Its easier too.
He set up burst/oneshot pvp meta, to cover the lack of good and well designed gameplay for many classes. Like of course demo has lackluster gameplay, but DB damage is good - it is probably his mind set.
This whole xpac is just a sad joke. SL ingame suffers from anima drought, while we players suffer from content drought.
yeah, this is much closer what this meta looks like.
