All my friends left wow years ago so my only chance at elite gear is solo shuffle.
I love healing in pvp but im trying to stay positve.
I reached 1400 pretty easily now ive hit a brick wall.
Its just a mess of CC and ganking. I try pillar humping and my dps run out of range or behind a wall.
I get close and i get chain cyclone.
Every melee dps seems to have some teleport or charge that runs me down.
Not to mention, poor rewards, mandatory addons, A million keybinds, trackers and sooo much going on.
Wow never used to be this crazy.
Thing i hate those most is now i have 1400 rating I have a partial elite transmog set that i dont know if i will be able to finish. Id rather have no pieces than missing ones.

Ok cool thanks for telling us.
rejoice weâre more informed than previously
Constructive feedback! Nice!
at low rating dps carry the games. You need to understand this very well. If youâre okay and healing and positioning so the game doesnât finish right at the start, trust me it is the dps that are going to decide the W or L outcome more often than not. Yes you can make some plays stuns interupts etc but even then there is no assurance the dps wil capitalise on it
Itâs horrible , but keep going and youâll climb
I tried to write this to you in-game but I suppose you are AFK.
Just a few things you need to change as soon as you are able to. First, you need to obtain the right craftable items with the correct embellishments. Your priority for stats should be Mastery > Versatility > Haste. Then, you need to work on acquiring your conquest gear. Iâd recommend doing regular 2v2 matches to farm for conquest points because itâs faster. Also, Slinks mentioned this one: positioning is very important. Donât be standing where youâre not supposed to be; the last thing you want is to get caught in the open by three enemies when you donât have your cooldowns. Speaking of cooldowns, donât waste them, but do use them when necessary. For more details, Iâd recommend you watch some Mistweaver PvP videos and practice in battlegrounds and duels whenever you can. It will help you improve.

So youâre missing the good old days when WoW pvp was âgoodâ.
But youâre playing the new game mode which is not good.
I see no flaw in this logic, carry on
Anyway so uhm thereâs other brackets where you can actually tell your teammates (or they might already know) to stop cyclones and you can actually play the game normally. Go get that 1800 with the first decent Warrior you find in 2v2
Make new ones?
Donât get close. Sit back and afk heal like every decent Mistweaver caster does. If druid stun into cyclone is coming, port from the stun to avoid the cyclone, come back and incap him into a stun urself.
Port, Disarm, Ring.
It is what it is, low rated shuffles are a waste of time for healers.
i got 1800 on 4 characters⌠with ease
different Roles too
id recommend you macro properly, track cooldowns, help your team land kills, dont just healbot
an example would be using ring of peace on their healer so it pushes him behind a pillar causing him to be out of LINE OF SIGHT
or
incap /focus macro, and then torpedo in and aoe stun the healer,
these little plays with you healing will get you MUCH higher rating
another example, check what skills you have off GCD and macro them with other abilities, this will reduce action bar clutter and make it much easier to manage, and of course Keybind everything
- know when to sit a CC/stun vs when to use your trinket,
most new healers will instantly popp trinket and then next CC chain they die
as a MW Monk id look into Fistweaving, its very powerful
and read the battle correctly, CC off a team mates CC, like if you see a mage use polymorph on the healer, you should follow it up with an incap or stun when the poly is about to end
if you do all these type of suggestions and learn to master them you will get 1800 in 1 day easily
Are casuals now complaining about free transmogs? What a time to be alive.

You didnât really ask for anything. You just told your personal story about shuffle. What did you expect?
If you want the set either spam queue shuffle or look for someone for 2s. What you can do is apply for viewer games in Jazggz stream.
If anything, even i could help you if you just want the set. 
Solo shuffle is, by far, the worst pvp experience wow has ever had.
The bad players kept asking for it, blizzard kept saying no trust us this is terrible garbage, the bad players kept crying anyway.
Now the bad players got it, and they can get a bit higher rating artifically than they could before due to the nature of rng lobbies giving +60 rather than needing consistent +12-20 per 1 game.
Therefore they will defend this horrible trash game mode to the end of their wow career (which is peaking at like 1950 on protection paladin in solo shuffle)

nah , the worst experience is waiting in LFG for a partner for 2v2 or 3v3
like in Shadowlands , i had times i was waiting 1-2 hours
It does help to play both dps and healer because then you start to notice what you like and hate what the other role is doing.
Donât even try
90% of this forum has become skill issue posts for imaginary Solo Suffer changes
Thanks, apologies i did miss your whispers. Thanks for your advice. I do watch mystical who is usually quite good.
I have decided to complete my Glad set and call it a day. I did fair a bit better today and got to around 1461 after 4 or 5 wins but after two more games i went back down to 1400 and then my next games win gave me very little rating. Its just not worth the time investment or pain. I dont find it fun at all.
My last game there the hunter over extended when i was trying to avoid being cyclone by the druid and i couldnt get to him in time. Its just annoying lol
I am not even that fussed about the snail mount either, id rather it was a token so i could get the Ram lol.
Anyway thanks for the advice, and hope you all do well.
more than anything work on your heal throughput first this can be done in raids/bgs, then work on positioning and cooldowns trading after
I know your frustration and fair enough then really
I was âŚwait for it. 900 rating / mmr on my Rdruid about 3 or 4 weeks ago, and got it to 1600 and havenât logged since. The stuff dps do at that rating is just crazy and itâs very tiring tbh
I still think you can get to 1600 then you can get a token to get the shoulders at least and youâd only miss the headpiece
Overall, shuffle is just mostly an unfun experience and the lack of players goes against its design
I just finished one game there and i won but the hunter kept loSing me. The rogue in our team was having a go at him for it.
I am hoping solo rbgs will be more fun.
Druids are the worst tho, i try stay out of cyclone range and hug pillers but they charge stun, cyclone then i try to hold trinket but they can still spam it after you pop it. Meanwhile i have paralysis, and tiger tail which can be broken with damage. Clone cant! I also have to channel to do instants while druid can hot up and free themselves up for damage. As I dont like/set up for fistweaving i cant trade damage back.
Not to mention shammy dps and monk dps are sometimes always focused and lose you the game by default
Also just played a team who were at 1785 and 1755 and it went 3-3 but gained no rating.
SL season 1 was a blast tho
Everyone played pvp because gear was a real thing
DF season 1 not even remotely close in numbers
thats not true.
Solo shuffle which came out in rated content started in DF s1, which had the highest pvp participation in the game since MoP for PvP
that is factual, its only towards the end of DF s1 when it started to die out with the broken Ret changes and long Queue timers after healers were getting killed by 1 shot
- if you are comparing SL s1 to DF s1, and in terms of solo shuffle, you are being a clown ( solo shuff wasnt even in sl s1), we spent hours in LFG in SL s1 and had the botting issues and AHK conditional macros, which hadnt come to light until recent patchs.
SL was also more interestingly better in PvE, and need i remind you that boomys had convoke 1 shots, ret had 1 shots, warrior bastion spear, mind games was op
SL s1 was a joke
