I decided to play disc to 1800 this season just to get the achievement because I was missing the set to play holy. Discs damage is just absurd. I was matching the lowest DPS in some of the rounds in damage done, once I even matched 2nd lowest and outdamaged a DPS.
I started at like 1500 mmr because I never really played disc before and it was a complete stomp.
And yet⦠https://drustvar.com/pvp/representation?bracket=3v3®ion=all&rating=1800&option=role
Theyāre very much middle of the pack. Below average between 1800 and 2100 rating, and third place above 2400 rating.
Yes, Disc deals a lot of damage. And thatās nice, but thatās not enough to be overpowered.
It could just be that you started with MMR below your skill level, and you therefore destroyed everyone because you were just that much better than players of that MMR.
Or you have a lot of experience with Disc and you know how to make it work.
Regardless, statistics donāt lie. Disc is fine. Not weak, not strong, solid middle of the pack healer.
MMR changes every season.
Season 3 MMR was hugely deflated. Most players report reaching their peak season 3 rating within the first week of season 4. Myself included, I got Duelist during the last week of season 3, whereas I got it 2 days ago this season.
But again, stats and facts donāt lie:
Holy Priest is the most represented healers at all MMR levels, except above 2400 where itās second to Preservation Evoker.
Discipline is middle of the pack at all ratings, except above 2400 where itās still only third place.
It just seems that youāre better at Disc than Holy.
Iām better with Affliction Warlock than with any Warrior spec, but for most people itās the opposite.
My holy priest mmr is at like 2.1-2.2k or something right now and I just wonāt play there without my set, lol. Maybe Iāll try it again when Iāve upgraded my pve pieces to be closer to pvp level but until then, no.
I saw vulpera mm get 6-0 yday. I didnt mind healing the game atleast. My own hunter also has been goblin since shadowlands. I just cant bother minmax races in mmorpg and Im not getting paid to play esports either so I just dont care play something only for racials. I play what I think looks fun or fitting for the character.
