I don’t understand how Blizzard fails so hard every time they try do something. They usually do not solve mistakes that they themselves have created. Their games are not balanced, and therefore not particularly fun to play. If you write a ticket and ask for help from a game master, the answer is always “Sorry we can’t help you.”. What to call this? A very sad joke?
I remember many years ago… for example in Cataclysm. Then I played mage (fire and frost). In pvp, frost was the the best of these two specs, but fire was also good enough that you at least had a chance to win 1v1 battles in PvP.
That all classes should be completely balanced, for both pvp and pve, is totally impossible. I understand that. But it’s absolutely possible to make the classes balanced enough that you at least have a chance to win 1v1 battles no matter what class you’re playing and what opponent class you’re fighting. That’s how it felt when I played the mage class in Cataclysm.
Now, many years later, in Season of Discovery, pvp can’t be described as anything other than a complete fiasco. Blizzard has completely failed to balance the classes. Today I play the warlock class, and that class is nothing but a sad joke in pvp. In phase 1 warlocks were incredibly strong, but now in phase 3 the class is nothing but crap in pvp, especially if you play affliction or destruction. Warlocks have absolutely nothing compared to other classes. Has Blizzard even tested the class in pvp? Have they read all the thousands of reports from players describing how useless the class is right now in pvp in Season of Discovey? If Blizzard doesn’t fix major issues that need to be fixed, well then they shouldn’t be surprised when many players choose to stop playing their games.
Also, the warlock class isn’t the only class that would need extensive changes in Season of Discovery. The fact that you can’t really play any class you want, because Blizzard has done a very bad job, makes their various games feel very boring to play. And the classes being poorly balanced is unfortunately just one big problem out of a very large number of big problems that exist, and unfortunately Blizzard isn’t really doing anything at all to fix these problems.
I would like Blizzard to go through the different classes in Season of Discovery, to test each class and each spec for pvp themselves, and to completely redo many of the class runes.
Kinda hard not to have fun when you are effectively the hero class of this game for the past 2 phases, Don’t think I heard many dk’s complain about WoTLK either…
Of course shaman’s enjoy SOD, they’re top of the food chain and it’s not even close,
PVE and PVP, shaman’s do what they want,
the dev’s have created a class which has S tier utility, self healing, big burst and sustained dmg, dmg reduction and totems that have an answer for everything,
If i main’ed shaman id be happy with sod as well, and id tell everyone shaman isnt that good and that im just a god at the game, and tbh if i was playing a class that was on perma easy mode id start believing i was amazing as well,
" dont nerf shamans, they’re perfectly fine " while i wipe the floor with anything that moves.
i am happy that you are excited for me. it is indeed pure joy. no joke! i can do any quest by myself. i am always the hero in any dungeon and in pvp its rofl time. brilliant.
hello, i’m a shaman main and i have voiced my dislike about many aspects of SOD.
nobody who plays the game actually dislike it.
they dislike the way its being mistreated as a 2nd priority.
those of us who main shaman also play other classes and yes, we do face off against shamans even as horde in STV so we know their powerlevel, and we’ve concluded that people exaggerate in the extreme when they say shaman is OP… this is also because we (as shaman mains) know what shaman weaknesses are, so we are able to capitalize on those weaknesses when we play as other classes, against them.
btw a 5 stack of shamans is going to destroy anything, that is correct, but you can say that about any class in this game.
5 shadow priests can kill whole raids of people with a bit of coordination.
5 hunters can wreak absolute havoc as well (why do you think hunter is the class multiboxers prefer?)
Trollskog - you do realise that if you queue in a group of 2-5, the wait time is about 3-5 minutes right? Solo queue is borked but group queue is fine - at least on Lone Wolf.
This post is claiming that PvP is broken but really it’s just saying that the OP loses to other players when he plays Warlock.
Warlocks are fine. They’re strong 1v1.
Mage was totally rubbish in P1. It was decent with max gear in P2. It’s good in P3. Spec viability changed when the damage nerf came in, making frost strong and fire oom. This is just the nature of how things work sometimes.
Yeah I don’t get it either, but it’s not true and weird to say you can’t do BGs when it’s easy to find randoms to queue with. Stick messages in LFG chat, Trade and Yell in Org.
In every post in this forum who speak about shamans, you are always here and repeat the same things.
You try to defend one class like you can but can you just stop this its ridiculous.
When its not shaman its alliance cause human behind computers are not the same.
I played so much Time in pvp in all the extensions of wow, you cant defend shamans. In all forums same topics, shaman have too much utility, alliance loose 90% of bg, in US forums, in EU forums, and you are here and pretend that shaman is fine.
Shaman is not fine, horde is the easy way right now and shamans need clearly a nerf since p2.
That individual is a shaman main, of course they dont want their easy mode class to be nerfed,
6 month’s of a god tier class would have me thinking i was good at the game as well,
