What are those cons? Fire is one opponent I hate and find myself almost forced to divine shield against and I need to pray I get them down before their combustion comes back. They ignore my BoP on allies and spellsteal sac so there’s little I can do to stop their burst on my allies except spam heals and hope I don’t get locked, and given their casts in combustion are entirely instant, CS has little impact on their DPS during it.
Just seems against a competent fire mage with a non brain-dead ally who doesn’t get themselves killed near instantly it’s a very difficult fight because they can still burst you to the nines whilst kiting you and blinking. Where I attempt LoS they simply blink around and keep up as they have range on the pillar. Any tips would be appreciated.
I used Blur against a Windwalker and he got all the hits in and I died.
16k rising sun kick 16k rising sun kick 16k rising sun kick all at once this game is so fun.
And people tell me windwalker is fine? Like dhs were before the corruption nerfs in BfA. Yes even I admit they were OP. Now its Windwalker who completely ruins pvp…
You see, the problem is… covenants.(Kyrian WW to be specific)
Paladins are one shotting me for 20k + 12k
Druids are killing me within 1.1 seconds with convoke.(nightfae)
Fire mages demolish me within 1-2 seconds with their blasts.(nightfae)
PvP in general is a mess.
Just fly up into the sky, whilst he’s using touch of karma.
Im fairly new, been playing for 1 month so far. I wouldnt say my oppinions are facts, just my opinion. There are way too many scenarios too explain.
Combust: very predictable, can be spellstealed, can be purged, can be disspelled.
Alter time: can be spellstealed, purged, disspelled
Meteor: dmg is splitt if there are more then 1. So make sure ur partners soak some dmg aswell
Fireball: with right pvp talents each fireball = -5 sec on combust, so pressuring the mage during bust farm isnt a bad idea.
Shimmer: most use shimmer, shimmer cant blink stuns
Fire mage: have bad sustain but high burst
I dont have many tips but, i understand ur situation. I dont have enough experience to give any tips… but i would say as a holy palla. If you can survive the first offensive cd rotation without using divine shield. It should be GG. But if you dont have trinket or divine shield for the 2nd offensive cd rotation. Ur most likely dead i believe
Ohh but druids can switch to tank or healer alongside their insane op spell dmg, they should make druid only transform to travel and mainspec not bear and healer, infact they should remove all healing options except one for all specs except the healer ofcause.
Correct me if im wrong. In bear form you cant cast hots. So any spellsteal,disspell and purge can remove ur hots, forcing you to swap from bear form to apply hots? And convoke can be kicked. Not hard to avoid for most classes with some focuse i believe
The issue is surviving combust without DS. Even with my 20% defensive combust can take me down fast if they focus me and my instant healing isn’t enough. The only success I’ve had is baiting CS with door or DF and then fasting but even then my casts don’t undo combust damage completely, so if mage partner is on me, it’s a huge struggle.
If mage targets partner it’s doable as I can sac them but smart mages know holy Pala usually pack sac talent and will target us first to try and force DS so we lack it next time combust is up. My wins against fire have largely been where they made a major error like burning their shimmers too fast or trinketing DoS CC so I can HoJ them for free with them having given ice block up early. But smart fire mages, damn they feel nearly unbeatable and I run with a WW monk as well.
I find theain determining factor is whether the fire mages partner is a liability or not. 2 v 1 we’ll get them, but if their partner doesn’t give in early and makes it their Job to keep us off the fire mage it’s usually GG.
Hmmm. I understand how u feel. Id recommend watching AWC. And remember gear matters. blizzard balance classes by the performance of the top players. Cus low skill players still need to learn alot. Just focuse on improving. Thats my goal everyday atleast.
