Since the queue timers for P3 are well in excess of 40m, at least on my server, please do NOT tell me that the only way to farm honour and reach R7 is going to be camping portals in Ashenvale?
There’s going to be people who farmed STV tokens and held on to them to reach max rank in 24 hours and what happens to everybody else that actually has a job or an alt, even? A whole week of ganking the opposite faction coming through to do quests and grind rep? Please tell me this isn’t all P3 is going to be for PvP.
25% stun res is massive
Fear Break on demand is massive
Warstomp is still good.
Trolls are the only gigachad race on horde, facts.
Stoneform is niche vs Rogues and Warriors
Escape artist is pretty bad if you arent playing against any roots or slows
Perception niche vs Rogues
Shadowmeld is the definition of dog, niche in setting up an ambush nothing more.
Yeah bro, you’re losing cause of shamans and racials. I guess we all have our coping mechanisms, it’s alright.
Totally not because every single time I join a BG on my pally I have to deal with mentally stunted players that have 15 seconds worth of brain lag in reacting to the rogue that just exited stealth to cap the flag at ST.
Farmed like 90k honor this week in AB and my experience is different. We did not win because of shamans but rather because we’d focus objectives and could communicate decently. About 80-90% of those BGs start with horde getting owned at BS and then splitting to other objectives, because when you got 5+ paladins that bubble at BS and your front line dies, you are done. You take a GY biscuit and start over.
Also playing as a warrior I can say those paladin stuns that don’t seem affected by the diminishing returns sometimes keep me stunned for like 15-20 sec (multiple stuns, different paldins) and I am barely a spectator or if we ever get a healer I’m a stunned punching bag in those fights.
Not saying shamans are not OP, but those paladins landing 2-3k dmg in a sec on me doesn’t seem like nothing, since I can barely land any hits or gain any rage.
So you could blame it on shamans all you want, but in reality 5 paladins with blessing of freedom on healers or hunters + lay on hands + bubbles can easily turn the tides on any objectives.
Today alone a MM hunter paired with a hpala and an arcane mage managed to beat us 3 games in a row and I bet we had at least 5 shamans in each of those games. The hunter was untouchable and finished with like 30-40 kills and 2 deaths in each of the games all due to blessing of freedom, permanent slow traps and good healing.
I would never play a gnome or a dwarf even if they had better racials, most people playing horde wouldn’t either, I wouldn’t like to hear a kid’s voice whenever I use a spell.
thats the problem, i cant because im a horde player, i dont understand what the enemy faction is saying ingame
i wouldnt say that, because since p3 we are also having some alliance players there, but horde players are doing tactics and they are not going to Goldmine with 3-5 players.
i think horde players are playing better together, while on the alliance side, the players are not that “team” coordinated they are doing really often “solo actions and want to be the main character”
Luckily you can still exploit the bad matchmaking algorithm and have instant queue as premades on horde side.
When playing multiple ABs as alliance it’s the same premades I encounter again and again while solo players have to wait for 40 minutes.
Now imagine sitting in a 40m queue, and when you finally get in it’s a game it’s with a total disaster team where no one says a word, no one has an M key, no one bothers to guard bases, and the entire raid moves to deal with a single rogue yoinking farm.
This is turning into a new trend ,you were right about pvp rep, since they introduced daily wsg and stv wood token, numbers of rep leechers in bgs have drastically decreased on ally side
Instead of crying because of “broken racials” (yeah it matters a lot in BG battles) please focus on the real problem here. People found a more efficient way to gain honor in P2. STV event. Bought all the honor needed to reach R7 in the first reset.
So what we have now is long queues because… these are the people that either did not want/notice they can buy the honor things and people that actually still think PvP in BGs is fun.
I farmed my honor in p2 for sure, and i will not enter a single BG cuz its a **** show. Maybe if i can find some premades, but its rare in alliance.
They nerfed enhance shamans and now elementals everywhere. To be honest elemental is much worse than enhace was. They still can use WoE+shield=more armor so no malee can kill them even if they can reach them somehow, but its hard to even touch them cuz the permaslow, stun resistance and ofc the instant 1shot with 1 lavaburst+chainlightning.
Try to join to wsg as alliance, you will see a class mixed group, just what you would expect on a RANDOM BG, and the horde? 3-4 Priest, 3-4 shamans and the rest are rugo hunters or druids.
Is alliance s*** because of skill issues? I dont think so, they **** because every minmax reroller kids already playing horde, and the normal ppl who just want to play 1-2 RANDOM bgs/day must suffer against their premades. Maybe its not always premades but rerelollers cuz ofc everyone is playing the current OP **** only.
Its 2024 and wow, ofc there are ppl who are better and worse but do not forget 1 thing most of the PPL who playin wow are probably veterans, and its a bull**** to always write a ‘‘SKILL ISSUE’’ monologue.
