I took a few days break after creating this topic then 30 minutes ago reached my goal.
It is no coincidence I could reach duelist only after Arms buffs and some nerfs to classes like Boomy and Destro. We are still not top dog but single target damage feels better now.
I felt adrenaline rush and joy during my climb, 7-8 extremely competitive and enjoyable lobbies one after another, extremely close matches. At some point you start to feel like you are playing against ai, everyone is like raid boss, programmed to do right plays so it was enjoyable and fun, I’m saying this despite having 3-3 or 2-4 results multiple times.
Actually we even had a bot in our lobbies 5 times, enhancement shaman, as far as I know there was bot/hack/script for only Ele shamans, this enhance always did same moves whole night, a human must make some changes but this enhancement flawlessly always played same style. I don’t remember his name but I reported him and warned all other players about it, some didn’t take it seriously and thought I was crazy perhaps xD yea I know hard to believe but this is a gut feeling, that guy was a bot, no other player gave me such suspicions other than him.
I got hit by a Devoker for 300k in 1 second, luckily there are not so many of them, it might be a problem, specifically in lower ratings.
To sum up, happy ending but I wanted to tell you that higher rating lobbies with good players is much less frustrating even if you lose, I enjoyed WoW PvP after a long time tonight. Arena seems better / more playable after recent balance changes at least for me. Boomies are not as powerful as they were (S tier instead of S+).
One last thing, get the Shadowflame illusion while you can, it is imo the best one they have created throughout WoW PvP’s lifespan, don’t miss it.
