I’ll start:
Arms Warrior.
Now, hear me out. Hear me out. I know all you casters are going to look at this and go “cope”, but let me explain. Yes. Warrior is absolutely the easiest class to pick for entry level PvP. It is easy to play, you don’t have a lot to think about, and doing meaningful damage on surface is very simple.
But holy f*** knuckles is it FRUSTRATING beyond all measure. The way you dish out damage currently means that most of it is just pad-value. It doesn’t exactly contribute towards kills, besides mortal wound and the ticking “dot” types on top of you 2nd player’s output.
It is a rare case from my experience, and the streamers, vods, games etc I’ve seen, where I feel like the Warrior solo’d someone, or whatever they did GUARANTEED the win. Most of the games I’ve had, or seen, go something along the lines of:
I think I wi—… → knocked back
Ok I think I’ll charg—… → knocked back again
Right let me leap—… → rooted
Jfc let me bladestorm??? → target is at range or ported away
Alright let me rp walk over to the closes—… → target has one of the bazillion freedoms in the game on them
Then you finally waddle over, you’re trying to scavenge whatever’s left of your go, and
your 2nd guys i getting sent, you intervene to dampen it.
->you got 100-0’d cus you didn’t parry
There is SO MUCH SUDDEN RANDOM MICRO BS that happens in the middle of this raindbow shtfest of an flashy sparkly animation vomitshow, that even with the toolkit you have, trying to use it in a sensible way without punching your desk and screaming at the monitor, resulting in an impatient leap or charge, becomes INCREDIBLY tilting.
EVERYTHING you press has to be thought out, or the next 30 seconds of your life will be a Forrest Gump “i was running” simulator. Of course it’s a skill issue, but when you’re in a mood to just chill and send some ques, warrior (at least for me) is a 100% guaranteed way to morph into Joe Fernandez, even if I won, after the first game.
A close 2nd to me is 100% Shadow Priest.
cast dots → kicked
cast dots → stunned
cast dots → OMEGALOOOL BACKFLIP
cast dots → GOT THE DOTS → dispelled instantly
cast dots…? → eh, nah. Grounding.
And during that time you’ve been dealt more damage to than a classic legacy era raid boss. Putrid.
