lets see, how to play into evoker…
Melee : Cant each at all… they can fly away every single time and just pump full dmg and nothing you can do about it
Casters : you will be killed before you can use a defensive since an evoker can kill 3 people with 1 attack and pump insane dmg.
Proof from melee vieuw ?
Just walk in the opposite direction while Hover is up? They have potato range lmao.
you‘re getting slowed for 80% while he runs at full speed, there‘s no walking away
Sure there is.
Being slowed has no bearing on caster form Feral Charge/Heroic Leap/Intervene/Transcendence/FSK, just to name a few options.
There’s also always the option of just hitting their teammate(s) if you can’t find windows to score meaningful damage on the gecko. Not to mention that pillars/LoS are the best defensive ‘CD’ in the game.
Don’t get me wrong, the class as a whole is undeniably an abomination of game design and Disintegrate being 80% of the Devoker kit is a joke, but you’re unlikely to find any sympathy on the mobility front. Maintaining uptime should be a tug of war, but the dynamic has been so heavily skewed in favour of melee for so long now that the vast majority seem to have forgotten that at one point it went both ways and that there was genuine outplay potential to be had.
It’s always funny when very specific specs like Arcane/Frost Mages or Devastation Evokers occasionally step up and threaten to upset the status quo. Heaven forbid you not be able to cycle through your PvE rotation for 58 seconds out of every minute once every 30 games.
I have absolutely no problem conceding that Ven is a better player than I ever have and ever will be. That said, perhaps if he had found his Ring of Peace keybind earlier than the 6 minute mark (or used it more than once), and held W at the Monk instead of the dragon while he was complaining, then he might have had more success kek.
90% snare full uptime and you still think a melee can catch up --''While they can hover fulltime , not being sslowed and pumping 1 button damage… alright… keep posting on your 60 priest --‘’ found the evoker player…
Warlock, actually. o:
i know exactly how to play vs evoker and its lost cause not even worth charging during hover without stun, if you watch the video you will see its beyond broken combined with the snare and you can realise it unless ur delulu
They definitely need to nerf deva more. 10% to disintegrate and 15% to eternity’s surge doesnt cut it. Hell even if they nerfed them by 25% more they would still dominate all the melees.
Deva is a spec that a 1600 player could litearally outplay any high xp melee atm. However deva is kinda mediocre vs casters.
This being said, remove the hovers, nerf the cast protection and the slow on the main damaging ability. And give them a spell defensive as compensation. Sounds completely fair to me
I play both ranged (Lock and SP) and melee (rogue), and I gotta say, most people have good points in this thread - the thing is though, that one doesn’t exclude the other.
Melee has had many gap closers for a while, but now Devastation is to melees what melees have been to ‘normal’ casters.
Playing Lock and SP last expansion, I could use my fears/teleports and pretty much every melee would have a cap closer to get back on me. Not that Lock and SP wasn’t good, but it felt pretty bad and stressful being trained the whole game
It’s the same for melees with Devastation now. You can try to hit them, but you’re basically perma slowed. If you use a gap closer, they just leap away, and they have enough leaps/slows/hover, that even if you try to use your gap closers wisely, they still just drag you around the arena like nothing. This feels really miserable too, just like facetanking a melee lobby on a faster does.
It should be possible to do something about both
enough internet for today, this evoker just did unhealable dmg, while slowing someone for 90%
