Boomkin won blizzcon during this expansion when Cdew was playing boomie dh and resto shaman
Spriest had a season when they could sit at full insanity or w/e the resource is called and literally be unkillable which caused comps such as double sp resto sham to dominate.
What kind of PvP?
Balance and SP are dominant in BGs. SP is A tier in Arena.
Frost mage is literally S+ tier in Arena, like Fire and Destro lock.
Feral is amazing in 2v2, and an immortal god out in the world.
Elemental is broken asf in Arena, it’s beyond S+, but ppl do not realize)))
Arcane is on the weaker side tho yeah, but mages have 2 disgusting specs already, so work with those in the meantime. Boomkin pretty average in Arena too, but still is played on high ratings.
You don’t need DH or Destro levels of broken OP to enjoy the game and be successful.
They can start by removing healing abilities from dps specs and make healers mana actually matter way more. Like add very high mana regeneration rate for all healers but if they press one button that tops the health bar in instant it really should cost a LOT of mana. Ridiculous.
Another thing is the current mobility and snares in game… Like come on.
So according to you, every spec is A+S+S+ basically, its just bad people complaining and DH Destro and Fire participation in arena is just illusion made up.
LOL at some of the replies, you people really have problem with reading comprehension? I don’t want my balance druid to be good ONLY AT BGS ! this is the issue, the spec is weak AF at everything except BG this is the point I made ! these specs should be viable in all of PVP, there is a reason Fire mages,Destro locks,rets,DH are used way more and are viable at everything ! while others barely scratch the surface and are niche.
LOL please make a video using same Ilvl SP vs DH and make sure you are same rating, please teach us how to back up your outlandish claims.
And what exactly is your own PvP experience, tough guy? I don’t see you posting from anything we could rate your experience off of. By that logic, you should be backing up your claims of their state of balance, with some credible rating.
Are you really just here to talk down to people? Because it sounds like it.
Don’t victimize yourself now, I am talking from my own experience, and every Balance druid/Shadow priest main agrees with me. The only people posting futile arguments are the ones that don’t main the class.
How am I victimizing myself, you are the one attacking people
I’m just pointing it out.
Yeah, same as me. So what’s the problem exactly ? Why do I need to be held accountable, but you don’t?
Pretty sure both balance and shadow were viable in s1 and s2.
Seems a bit disingenuous to write that theyve been bad throughout the entire expansion, when that’s really not the case.
Could make a case for MM hunter being bad in arena for all of BfA maybe, but I can’t think of any other spec that hasn’t had at least a brief moment of being viable.
No, its according to skill capped and current meta. Common knowledge, you can look it up. Or check arenamate and see what specs are on ladder.
For example everyone knows that RMP are one of the top comps, right? Well in all those comps priest is ofcourse Discipline. But on ladder 50% of priests are disc and 43% are shadow. So shadow priest is almost as successful as Discipline from a top tier Comp lol.
Also, druids are one of the most represented classes in Arena, Resto is dominating since the dawn of times. Well only 50% of druids are Resto. When balance is like 25% and Feral 20%, again, out of ALL druids.
You wanna see a horrible specs? MM 0.4%; Or affliction, 1%. Or Arcane, the only spec you got right, with 4%.
You mostly see DH Destro and Fire cuz people like you only play Fotm specs.
Im sorry but druid is literally the most op broken class in pvp so I don’t get why youre complaining. Also all the specs you just mentioned seem fine and i regularly lose to them in arenas and Im not even at a low cr. Druid is op atm basically unkillable, resto is broken, can do insane ranged and close dps with a bunch of mobility and cc options.
In what universe is feral a horrible spec in PVP? They’re pumping hard.
those r1 players can also play without weapons and still be 2,5k
That doesn’t mean it is any good or balanced.
Also it is not their achievement alone, because they have 2 teammates which play with them for very long already to have good synergy anyways.
Affli is countered by dispell, which surprisingly every single team has.
arcane is a gimmick spec. It can do some dmg if stars align but mostly it is blinking around and spaming arance blast and barrage. Mage is still good as a sheep bot though.
true but they are not fun to play because you can get insta gibbed 
We play 3v3 for mount already, not carefully-seriously. Sometimes we kill enemy healer in 5 sec though. I can sense dismantling of those pug groups at that moment 
I’ll honestly admit that I don’t really PvP other than the odd random BG but hasn’t it always been the case that not all specs of a class have been good in PvP and working out which spec is best has been part of the challenge?
Isn’t one of the core reasons why Blizz introduced dual spec back in the day in order to appease PvPers, alongside tank/heal mains, so that they had a spec they ould quest in for levelling and then be able to swap over when they wanted to do the ‘content’ they preferred?
I get the argument that you level in a spec you love and then you jump into top level PvP and suddenly find your spec performs worse than another spec available to your class but the same could be said about a tank/heal spec as well.
yes there were never a time where you could say every single spec is “viable”
The difference in bfa and legion was that classes got butchered for spec fantasy which made it much harder to balance specs instead of just the class.
Before we had some fun shenanigans like fury in bgs who could dump someone in 2 secs but it wasn’t really viable
now you could rather say specs almost matter at all if they have a little bit of utility as you are 50% carried by corruptions if you have the correct ones. Now that we semi can choose our corruptions, you might see one or another odd spec rising just for the luls.
but I guess it is too much work to start from scratch and be lucky with the corruption vendor rotation when you actually got your echoes
