I suck at PvP

PVP Battlegrounds
1

Hi people

I’ve been playing this game for a long time now but I still completely suck at PvP. I can’t blame the rubbish pc or dial-up connection anymore either. Whether it be open world, battlegrounds, brawls or whatever. I don’t feel effective or dangerous. I’ve even tried playing…horde… (admittedly that did help)

If I could put it down to a single ‘problem’ that I come across, its that I seem to do little to no damage to enemy players and I seem to take a disproportionately high amount of damage. Am I supposed to pop all my cooldowns for every encounter?! That doesn’t seem right…

Is this a common thing that you guys hear? What am I missing?

If it is with this character, could be your item level is very low, poor essences and trinkets.

check forums/sites for hints/setups strategies

upgrade to some benethic gear, and farm pearls

I thought they scaled gear/damage in pvp?

Not in bfa

I’m guessing you play ww you can look up a pvp guide on icy veins

5

Are you bg’ing as BrM?

If it’s battlegrounds I just go with the herd and press random buttons until stuff dies.

I’m not a pro at pvp and I just had to do it for essences.

After doing that I go and cry in a corner out of frustration and then stuff my face with cookies and tea.

Once that is done I log in and continue the grind until I start crying again.

Hope this helps.

There is some degree of scaling, but not nearly the same as in legion. Gear makes a massive difference.

Class+spec also matters a lot. The classes that feel powerful in the sense of dealing a lot of dmg and having a lot of mitigation and selfhealing are typically hero classes. If you want a ranged class Id recommend destro. And if you’re doing a lot of bgs, Id recommend a ranged class unless you have reliable healers around.

Tldr: roll destro and farm gear. Next patch comes in jan, so play casually til then and get ready for the farm :wink:

Try to choose better classes maybe. Shadow priests 5 buttons. Anyone can make crazy amounts of damage with it. Because I dont have any shadow priest who cant make less damage than 10.000k on a random bg.

Balance is nerfed after season 1.

Fire mage is good with greater pyro.

Destruction lock is also good.

Dh is good 3 buttons class thats why they top damage tables on random bgs if they practised long enough.

But dont recommend warrior. They need to use passive skills to damage around. Warbreaker , recklessness etc. Many things they need to use to damage on a bg. On other classes you dont need to.

If you are going to play melee , play dk or paladin.

Monks except healing not in a good shape on a random bg.

Higher ilvl, correct AP and essences make ultimate difference. Depending on class you should collect correct AP and essences and focused on damage or defence.
