Covenant spell literally carry some classes in arena… Can you imagine shadow priest without mind games ? Can you imagine druid without convoke ? Can you imagine dk without slappy hands ? While spells like impending catastrophe are not even worth to use ?
Why some classes have spell which do 20-30% or even 80% of their damage in arena. I havent thought that this will affect pvp that much. I though that one spell just for flavor wont change anything but i was terribly wrong.
So now i am punished by doing something i like and enjoy.
And speaking of covenants…
Countless times i lost purely because of night fae seed…
With some classes you just cant kill it even if you are free to do it 15k hp ? without energy,shards,cds or playing dot class ???
Imagine fire mage now 16k absorb every 25s 1 full life, second full life after cauterize, third full life after seed. Its crazy… There is reason why spells like reincarnation or lay on hands are disabled in arena…
Its super unfair and dont belong to the game and of course players abuse it and destroy experience for everyone.
Can you imagine a DK WITH slappy hands? Yea it still does 0 damage
i mean slappy hands can grib you once every 4sec and deals basically low dmg. compared to convoke. mind games total game changer. chain harvest hits for 14 k etc
Did u renamw ur dk to slistrash Xd
I did indeed
Played 2v2 at aroynd 1600 last night for 2 hours and didnt see a single dk. Only ret, WW, priest and feral/moonkin every single game cheesing their swifty one shot skills
This is only just a nuisance.
Apart from that i agree that Covenant spells are the new Corruptions for some classes in terms how much they carry and how op they are.
still a good spec
kyrian boomy is very good so yes i can imagine
seems ok to me?
thats not happening
Of course, the ladder is full of kyrian boomys. Actually not even a single player has died from convoke alone during this season.
Not sure if sarcasm…
I think he is trolling
Tbh i am okay with all covenant skills except dk hands, that grab me from stealth when i am out of combat far far away from him.
the highest boomy on ladder(2700cr) is actually kyrian. I also want convoke to be nerfed because you can get oneshotted if the druid is lucky. But convoke druids are not ruining the ladder or anything on high rated.
Exactly I picked Necrolord for SP, and apparently the class is now useless without mind games, stupid blizzard decision.
Lowest represented class in rated pvp and ability that does no damage. Biased much? How can you even compare that to convoke and mind games?
one of the abilities to do least damage on a class with lowest representation in rated.
god forbid something could pull you out of stealth.
Representation =/= Viability.
There’s plenty of underrepresented classes that are still A tier, arguably even S tier in certain cases. Affliction locks are one of the best if not the best pve class currently and yet they’re underrepresented. They’re also absolute gods in Shadowplay (Strongest comp for all ratings currently, especially high ratings) and yet again, underrepresented on the ladder.
Dks are the same thing. Walking Dead is an S tier comp and yet there’s not a lot of DKs on the ladder.
Underrepresentation to the extreme compared to most other specs. Above 1500 rating 1,6% in 2v2 and 2,7% in 3v3.
Meanwhile top specs are close to 20% representation, most other sitting between 8% and 12%.
Numbers like that says alot. A fair amount of people will always go to the strongest specs.
They are not S/A-tier when barely anyone plays them in rated pvp and the higher the rating the fewer of them you see. Thats pure logic.
Being strong in pve doesnt necessarily mean strong in pvp. Unholy was S-Tier for raid before nerfs and are atleast still A-tier, but is not S/A-tier in pvp atm. Far from.
If the comp is the absolute strongest for all ratings, why are barely anyone playing it?
Again, why are people not playing it? Ofc. DK an others will have a stronger position in certain comps, but an extreme underrepresentation like that still tells alot.
Also while seeing a huge overrepresentation of other specs.
It means that DK mains and other classes mains have rerolled to other specs and are pvping with them. And/or they are simply not pvping with these specs at all.
I main UH and Ret, and find myself climbing far far easier with pala vs dk, while im also a better uh player then ret player simply cause of playing it alot more in total.
DK have issues, main ones being nerf to death strike and necrotic strike.
Secondly blizz should consider making nerfs intended for pve only actually affect pve only and the same way around.
Wait did he really try to say that dk necrolord ability does a lot of dmg? I am confused.
I agree. Covenant choice is way too impactful. It should be a slight enhancement to existing abilities and not the sole reason a class is viable. Again borrowed power> class design. Some classes are benefiting way too much from that bloated crap atm.
