DK+4 rets: How to manage FEAR bombs

[Mosg2]

Rated BGs will be much harder for us boxers because they will be practically bigger arenas. And arena players are a lot better at pvp than your average BGer you see in BGs today. It's just like fighting a premade in a BG today, it's very hard, unless you have a full premade too, which still doesn't make it easy, it just gives you a chance to win.

I completely disagree.

Rated BG's are going to be a boxer's paradise. They specifically stated that they would not allow more than 5 people to que in a single group--This means that *at worst* it's your premade vs their premade... And considering how capable we are already at dismantling evenly matched teams I think it's going to get much better. Please also consider that there really won't be a best comp for rated BG's--People are just going to gravitate into groups where they play well together and can be on at the same time. This is going to be good for us: No more Wiz Cleave, 4x Melee Cleave etc. Gimmick teams (minus boxing of course) just won't work well.

All imo~

I dunno man, when I see a 4-5 man premade, especially in the smaller groups, even when you manage to shut them down they'll still annihilate the rest of your team and you won't be able to carry them. Hell as many tricks as we have to pull just to carry the rest of the team pug vs pug I don't see how it's going to go very well if a half or third of their team plays like a 2k+ arena team

Well, I think proportionately compared to now there will be a lot more people doing rated BG's than arenas--My hunch is that instead of a que for rated games vs non-rated you'll just que for whatever game (Or random I guess) and then get a personal rating based off off win/loss and personal performance. Imo~.

All of that means, to me, that there will be more people playing and your chances of running into a game where half of'em play like a 2k+ arena team are low.

In any case, Void and I are brainstorming our asses off looking for good BG/arena comps post Cata launch
