[BFA] World pvp

Healing since pre-patch is insanely OP. With the stat squish it's flat out amazing.
So I've got all 1 Guardian / 4 x Balance. You can swap out to a Resto Druid and I've make a pretty good macro for that that'll give you insane healing for about 4 minutes straight before you go oom. The special kicker there is you just spread out the innervates that you get from Balance/Resto.

with Resto talent (as Balance spec) you get the passive heal, which I did a Mythic regular run and didn't even need to heal the tank. It's pretty strong.
Swiftmend is on a 30 sec cooldown, and with 4 of those at the same time you'll completely heal any target. You got rejuv's on instant and Regrowth for a little more upfront oomph, but the healing in general is massive. Character hp is 20-25k? I'm not sure on the numbers, rejuv is 3k hp instant over 12 seconds. You slap 4 of those on someone and you got a 50% heal.
The new heal added was Wild Growth to the resto talent, it way over counters any aoe damage your taking. On Pvp this has been a good saving grace,
So for PvE this group is working fine and at some point will most likely need to transition into the traditional role, it also works for PvP, the guardian seems kind of useless but adds 15% hp to the whole group through a pvp talent. I also don't understand it but the bear gets focused fired while the 4 boomkin are just tossing out dps.
Speaking of DPS, their rotation got a whole lot easier (can I get a hallelujah?) The opener is pretty weak when you want high burst in pvp, but it's insanely effective. Moonfire/Sunfire x4 on a character should drop them if they don't have any heals. Talented and with a legendary shoulders moonfire hits 2 other targets so if you hit a group of players, their healer won't be able to sustain everyone taking damage, and I think this is why the fights I'm running into I'm consistently winning. I just need to outlast for 10-15 seconds and they fall apart.

For PvE hunters with a healer are the strongest in my opinion but part of the game for me is PvP and willing to make this sacrifice knowing I probably won't be able to push to the same mythic+ level is worth the tradeoff.
The hunters have flare though which would solve the annoying rogue issue..
Does /follow work on a hunter pet? Could make that work maybe.

Ive kind of been observing some of the same things you have. I think once i get more 110s I am going to try a 2 BM hunter, 3 balance druid team. Basically, when people try to gank me, I just blow defensive's and heal myself with druids and once the enemy is out of CDs, I finish them off. Im sure as we level the off healing will become weaker, but as of now I can definitely attest to its strength.

Hybrid healing was also over the top for ele shamans in the wotlk precata patch but it went to be total shit at lvl 85 so dont have too much hope

been doing towers everyday on quite a few teams.

When walking between mobs I often experience that they break follow again and again but if I mount up and fly its all fine. So its fast to do 3 towers x 300 honor x 10+ 5-man teams that way.

May i ask: why are people farming these honor points? What is there to gain? I mean, stuff usually get close to oneshotted anyway, why "waste" time f.ex getting slightly better geared at this stage, just so stuff dies some millisecs earlier. Lets just say there are more profitable things you could do instead.

I think there are a few mounts you can get with higher ranks of honor. Not sure if they are in the game yet but that's the goal since right now honor is combined on all accounts, meaning a 5 boxer is earning 5x the speed of playing one.

At level 50 you get a title, level 400 you get a mount. Various other achievements and rewards along the way, just like legion was.

Titles, pets, toys and mounts. And nothing else to do until expansion... Got a lot of levels doing the towers for mark of honors for transmog gear before 8.0

You know they're going to do something about the WQ honor soon, multiboxers have a huge advantage.

Doing 3 of the 300 honor and 2 of the 500 honor a day, gives me slightly more than a honor level per team. I figure with the current 12 teams I have ready I could reach the honor level 500 cap in 37 days. Wouldn't that make everyone else QQ if we could beat the hardcore PvPers to the end.

I cant do it because its just too boring, I can keep up taking 3 teams a day through them for about a week but then need a break. If follow worked better than sure.

all the more reason to get to 500 fast

If anyone is interested, wowhead has a list of all honor level rewards.
