Here we go again..

nah, not gonna start anything on that. Just theory crafting here. I didn't even play warriors yet. probably like he said I get nuked to death instantly by hunters. I probably give warriors another shot and be done with this expansion.

I asked Vanguard yesterday about ele shamans, then he told me he thought they were in a good spot. He was serious about it aswell. Most people called out: nice trolling there. But defended it by telling us to go check EU ladder. Then I watched Reckfuls stream, and they met Novoz (former 3k rated ele) team. They just sat on him for like 30 sec and he died. They started saying: "ohh, feel sooo sorry for that guy. Ele shamans are in such a bad spot".

This is coming from some of the highest rated people in the US. Blizzard should totaly do something about it! Have only seen changes for resto shamans on mmo-champion, not a single one for ele or enhance.

Starting to think that Blizz is doing this to ele shamans + DKs, so that multiboxers wont get high in arena. I can only imagine the drama it would start if there were several multiboxer teams above 2200 rating.

That hasn't happened since s8.

But ele shams are only in a good spot in specific comps that can actually burst + heal. Ele/Spriest/Druid, Ele/Mage/Druid namely. LSD is fine as well but not as strong. Ele shams lose to straight melee cleaves and almost always have so the fact that they still do is no surprise. Vs caster/melee/healer they actually do pretty well. Warriors losing blanket silence is going to help a lot too for ele shams in 3's.

With all the changes taking place in 5.1, I suggest people wait and see how it plays out. Might be a good time to reflect on the goals you want to achieve in pvp. All goals are ultimately achievable one way or another.

For me I would like to see defensive cds increased or removed and a increase in the cooldowns for instant crowd control. If they are going to nerf burst without nerfing the defensive/instant control or uping sustained dps to compensate no one will ever die, ever.

I read there will be changes to pvp gear(no rating,less rating?), arena queues(all realm queues like rbgs?) and such in a developer post that is coming soon.

The most important thing is to play the classes or teams that you enjoy the most.

This x 10000

If you don't play what you enjoy and just re-roll for success you will ultimately end up enjoying yourself less, not to mention possibly not being able to use the OP whatever to the maximum potential.

I am interested in the rating thing as well - http://us.battle.net/wow/en/forum/to...5271?page=5#96

I would love to see Arena queues to be region-wide for the sole reason that everyone can finally stop stroking their e-peen about what battlegroup they're in. However, I'm not sure if that actually brings any repercussions on you Arena folks.

The single change to make arena queues cross all realms will fix the issues for 5s. we just need enough people to play the damn thing

[heyaz]

I'd love to see 5s active to the point that even if your team is gimp at the moment you can still cap out by getting retarded teams, 1v5s and no shows. I used to cap out 2s this way dual boxing (just tabbing) in cata with my t2 DK and an alt that just sat there - with instant queues you could actually cap pretty quickly.

Of course ultimately I'd like faster queues and lots of activity in 5s so I could actually play for real and have good competition. But for now just being able to queue and mess around and still cap would be great.

I love the shaman class, and have so for several years now. But when season after season, and several days played I still cant grasp what Blizzard is thinking. We went from being gods to being top 3 shitty PvP spec. Yes we can/could do insane burst, but in a world where mages, locks, hunters and warriors can do 2-3 times our burst + have more survivability, its just not fair.

I dont wanna reroll just cus Blizz fucked up with tuning other specs. I'll just suck it up and wait (again) for another season/patch. I'm not quitting WoW until I break 2200!

[remanz]

Come to think of it every classes have their OP days. From I can remember

Warriors = now
DK = upon LK release. Blood DK ruled arena for like 2 seasons.
Paladin = once a upon time, Seal of Command procs extra swing. Paladin can kill within HOJ stun. Bubble only reduce attack speed by 50%, not damage.
Hunter = now
Mage = Frost mage in Cata. Still today. I think it is BS mage can proc frost damage from another mage's freeze/nova.
Warlock = The end of LK with Shadow Fury and insane survival.
Rogue = can't think of when Rogues are OP.
Priest = The end of LK with disc healing. and Spriest super damage + mana drain.
Shaman = elemental was god in BC days. I was able to stand there just cast LB against a warrior. and let the warrior interrupt me all he wants. I would kill him with 50% hp left.
Druid = the end of LK, blizzard buffed bleed damage. Feral druid was doing crazy amount of damage in arena. They were getting 5 combo points. Instant cyclone. let energy get full. Burst down after cyclone expires.
MONK = yet to been seen
