I came to the conclusion that wow pvp will never be good again. The pvp devs have no solid vision/plan for the game honestly. Adding Gcd to alot of spells is a first dumb move. People may argue " oh u want the 1 shot macro back " ? Hell yeah , gcd changes making the dps rotation extreemly clunky. Also gcd changes favors below average players , and hits the good ones.
I wont talk much about pve items , becz we all agree that it should be completely disabled and bring back pvp vendors.
Removing half of the toolkit of some classes like Marksman hunter , demo lock , enhance shaman , Making them completely unviable.
then lastly why devs take them 4 ever to nerf/buff classes/specs/ nerf pve items ? Like why ? It’s simple there is statistics charts in their data base. Devs team are lazy they rather buff/nerf a class by 5-10% rather than fixing the core problem . Best example is resto druid nerfed by 10% 2 weeks ago , but druid are so strong because swiftmend doing a 3 for 1. Huge instant cast heal, that puts up a huge hot which scales with mastery and then increases your next rejuv or regrowth by 200%. Best button ever.
I don’t agree with GCD - it’s good change it feels bad because the way you deal damage changed. In Wrath we had everything on GCD and nobody complained.
It’s a design and skill NIGHTMARE for defensive CDs. Especially if there is zero consistency between them. Some classes still have their utility or def CDs affected by it, all the while it’s been fixed for others.
It’s not good for offensive CDs and obviously not good for defensive CDs either. It’s not fun at all and I’d rather have my oneshot macros back than having to click 3 gcds in a row to start dealing damage.
In Wrath GCD didn’t hurt so much as caster casted and meele skills had animations so it felt fluent. Right now with cooldown reseting, instant procs damage dealing is button mashing. For some PvE damage bots maybe it’s fun but definetely it’s not in PvP. Spells that were strong became useless fillers. Lightning Bolt without Stormkeeper - nobody even casts it. Mind Flay - filler. Lava Lash - filler. Incinerate - filler. Meeles fly around arenas with 2-3 mobility spells in their arsenal. Kiting is a joke now. I advise everyone to go back to any instant 80 lvl server and see how PvP looked back then. The only bad thing about Wrath that we have also today was PvE gear on PvP. Shadowmourne and some ICC trinkets were stupid but no Azerite, no ap grind. In Wrath almost everything was viable (H Priest maybe not). These “improvements” made by Blizzard only ruined everything.
Last time I played WW Monk was WoD and Tigereye Brew worked way different back then. And with 2x stun on WW setting up kills with it would be fine but people crying about dying in combo made Blizz change it
