*steps on soapbox*Originally Posted by 'Nachtkinder',index.php?page=Thread&postID=147184# post147184
First let me say this. I run a +2.1k 5v5 Gladiator Quadbox.
*steps off soapbox* (;P tell me you wouldnt gloat?)
Secondly level 60 was completely unbalanced in terms of PvE vs PvP gear. Resilience was created to fix that gap.
Thirdly, It was possible to 1-shot classes at 60 (dual trinket + POM = DEATH). And there was no arena at 60.
Lastly, healing is only useless atm because damage is so unbalanced. Blizzard knows the majority of its players play DMG classes and what better way to get them to buy the expansion then to reward dual dps teams in arena m(imo). The hardcore folks dont really care because their season is over. Don't forget how OP Paladins in arena where in BC. Warrior + Pally was impossible in S1. It wasnt until changes that Priests and Druids became the healing class of choice in S2. Pallies dont have HoTs and every resto class now has some Instant healing spell available.
At 80 I think you'll see some classes aren't as powerful as they seem now and some classes are much more powerful than they seem in their current state. Shaman have never been a dominate force in arena. What makes the quadbox shaman team great? It has nothing to do with the OP of the class but rather our ability to heal better than anyone in the game (+lesser healing, now even more buffed from the +spell power) and our ability to unpredicatably deliver some of the most gnarly instant DMG in the game.
S5 will represent my attempt at becoming a Brutal (Hateful) Galdiator. Sure my current BG Group sux, but at the +2k level I garauntee the BG9 rerolls that I beat represent some of the best WoW has to offer.
Just glad this nonsense imbalance is coming to an end tonight.![]()
