dhs monks and warriors have 100%uptime on everything root them stun them pillar them no matter what they can catch up (warrior sometimes cant) they have all the tools for just for zugzugin in arena and require less skill to be useful and viable, braindead buttonmashing weave in some random ccs cuz no matter what its a good cc, doing 150k singletarget on demand without much cd, its not much fun sitting in a 10 sec long cc chain that cant be broken by dmg , and the drs now are a joke, and nerf casterspam too,

yup warr dh basically have unlimited gap closers and CCs its impossible to get them off or cast anything near them unless they play blind.
TBH not a very healthy game design… sub is obnixious to play against but at least you can see the pattern and react which gives you some room to do something but warr just lolstorm you and use one of many ccs instead of interrupts so you never get a precog and batman does not matter how many times you CC him will always top dmg and be behind you
played 3’s at 1.8 MMR today and the only comps being played to my understanding is ret dh or dh monk or dh dk, or ret mm
oh and we queued into one assa rogue /surv team
at 2,2 u have ret dh dh dk sp/affli rogue affli rmp thats it, so nothing will change
I was logging in my shadow today only played hunter this season was sending him a ton of conquest boxes and start playing with decent gear
I still got some muscle memory and was not feeling unconfertable on it, just a tiny bit rusty
But holy there is ZERO fun playing caster, as shadow you got no mobility for eaven reposition yourself you stuck in one place, yes you are tanky and i still won 50%of the games
But it felt so clunky and unfun that eaven winning felt bad because the pain you go true
Respect for every guy/girl sticking too playing caster
I will keep jumping arround on my Hunter and have fun
The trick to playing sp is to have other characters when it gets to frustrating, it’s not good playing mad.
Shadow priest guide:
Step 1. Find your Affliction daddy
Step 2. Get focused in arena while your affliction daddy is doing 300k dps and their whole team is dying
Step 3. Find your Resto druid daddy
Step 4. If you aren’t being focused, you get to do 200k dps and kill their whole team instead
Step 5. Repeat above tactics for maximum rating
or
don’t try to find friends, spam shuffle, lose while being training dummy
As John Kramer says in the Saw movies:
What will it be? The choice is yours, the timer starts now

thats affli meta. One of the worst metas you can have.

tank meta could be worse but y affli rdrood meta is bad aswell
the only problem i have with affli so far that unstable afflictions dispel protection stuff, like cant dispell nothing cuz it will cost the game, and if i dont dispell its free cc and dam for them, 3 sec silence and 500k dmg from a dispell seems a little bit harsh but yeah if i could dispell everything affli wouldnt have any dmg
That’s not how you beat Affli as DH.
You beat it by playing a very specific build only for that matchup where you get to heal as much as the Affli does, making you unable to die to Rot dmg.
E.g this build includes Elysian Decree, Blood moon PvP talent and 10% extra healing from Soul Fragments talent.
You end up healing as much as the Affli.
Since the season is ending soon anyway I figured I would share some of the secret sauce you don’t get to see on armory 
This build is only effective into Affli comps and basically makes your healer have to only heal themselves and your teammate.
This is what happened to 5 different Affli teams

thats nice to know
this explains, why dh´s can pve the resto drood in comps like this
I play warrior few yeara and i cant do more than 100k single target with all cds ,i mean if u see 150k its 20-30 % dmg on pet targets,and after 2.1-2.2cr u gna barely see meeele comps,its even assa/affli/x or rmp shadowplay,so ,we got no problems with meeles.
I would add Ret
You can kite him but most of his attacks are range
If he got a view hots good luck purge his freedom or bop
Stun him too peel, yeah bubble burst
100k did you also take into account the constant 25% and the on demand 50% MS? because the actual dps is much higher not to mention the disruption you have as warrior
Well i see u have no idea about pvp,complaining about warr while assa rogs are destroying ladder haha.

ah i was talking bout affli as a healer im just logged in with dh on forums 
You mentioned warr specifically in your comment why are you deflecting now?
Sin Rogue is OP in certain comps from the end of last ssn whereis warr basically fits in every comp and has been A+ since last xpac also has much better toolkit than sin rogue and much tankier and on top much easier to play
