Nah its not hard to see. This is the first xpac since wotlk that pve armor is bis in pvp instances. But at least in wotlk pvp gear was still really good and fun to get.
I pray that in shadowlands they go back to the old formula of getting honor/conquest points and buying what you want
Mythic gear should be terrible for pvp like it used to be. If you want to pvp, you should be able to get good PVP gear from it!!!
Thats what we are trying to tell you pve tryhards. You should have zero business owning people in pvp with your pve gear.
So far it looks like they are putting in a conquest vendor. Won’t make a difference without gear scaling or a pvp specific stat on the gear though. M+ will still beat out pvp gearing easily.
Also, with no honor vendor for a starter set, PvE is going to be the method used…again.
WoD system was f***ing perfect. They should just go back to that.
-gear scales up in pvp combat
-set bonuses or BiS stats, have both options
That’s why your face always got smashed. The main weapon on current PvP is the Corruption of the players which they got from playing PvE.
That’s the current mechanics. Deal with it by getting Corruptions too. The goal again is to be on top of the food chain. You keep on crying at the bottom of the food chain. Just remain down there while we lick your tears with our insane Corruptions. LOL.
Why do you think that PvE gear should be the top tier in PvE and PvP scenarios?
“Deal with” how disgusting corruptions have made PvP by getting corrupted gear yourself? That is your solution? Genius…pure genius. For someone who is "on top of the food chain" you don’t have that many kills.
Or could it be that you only rose to the “top of the food chain” when corruption was introduced because you are not good at PvP?
8.3 is all about CORRUPTIONS. Play 8.3 without Corruptions and you would have LOL content. Look at you. Are you happy to have Zero Mythic+ Dungeons played, Zero Raid Dungeons played, Inferior PvP Kills on 8.3? I am confused how players like you exist on 8.3. Are you having fun with your $15 per month on 8.3 without Corruption?
Actually yes I am. There is more to the game than just the MAU padding filth known as 8.3. I am sure you love it, but most PvPers who do not lilke PvE content find this patch horrible.
I am confused how someone is so ignorant they can’t understand this game has many different playstyles associated with it. PvE for life does not appeal to everyone, you know that right?
LOL. You should play with the game mechanics becoz you dont make the game. You follow the rules on how to be on top of foodchain. If it’s getting Corruptions is the current way to be on top, you do get them. Instead, you keep on crying.
Well, nothing would happen with your tears. Enjoy being killed on PvP without Corruption.
I have many toons. I had my time when I played PvP. This toon is conservative on PvP. This casual toon is solely for PvE. This Toon’s Class/specs wont be on top of the food chain. Why waste my time if I would be a free honor kill? It’s like your toon… but your toon is way way inferior from the food chain.
I remember my first PvP in Vanilla was with my Warrior. To be on top of the food chain then, you have to have mixed PvP Gear and PvE Gear. I know I wont get the Grand Marshal Claymore so I went to PvE to get my Zinrokh, Untamed Blade and Ashkandi. I was not a crybaby complaining how others get their Wrecking gear becoz I know I could get it too. I finished Lt Commander on Vanilla with mixed PvE/PvP gear… that was the mechanics on how to be on top. The GrandMarshals on that time dont want to duel me becoz I carry Naxx40 gear with my Lt. Commander Gear. That’s how to be on top of the food chain. You abuse your gear advantage over the lazy geared players.
Corruptions are entirely RNG. There are people at the top that get every possible source of guaranteed corruption and still don’t have their BiS and thus perform worse than people that lucked out and do. It has nothing to do with laziness, tbh.
And abusing gear advantages in PvP is not what PvP has been about for like, 8+ years. Since MoP at least. Most of Cata too, aside from a very small number of items towards the end. All of MoP, WoD and Legion saw nobody having absurd gear advantages in competitive PvP, everyone was geared the same. That’s how it should be, not this garbage where terrible players succeed because they abuse broken PvE garbage.
Jhan will never understand that things like corruption proc is bad for PvP. Just look at the insight they displayed when posting this-
According to the wisdom of Jhan we should play regardless of whether we like the design decisions and implementation of new systems or not. Corruption had the potential to be cool. Instead of just a braindead proc solely based on RNG it would give a buff that after it reaches a set number it allows you to use the effect (twilight, stars etc).
For example after you get the required number of buffs for infinite stars you have a 15 second window in which to use the ability on the target of your choice. Would be much more engaging than the dumpster fire we are stuck with now.
This.
Time to gear up.
My baby havoc demon hunter hit 120 yesterday, and today less than 24 hours later already has 339k health.
What are these unfair BiS gear? If you are updated, you would know that Twi Dev, Infinite Star and Echoing Void used to be OP and now nerfed to the ground. I know they could still packed a punch but EVERYONE HAS THEM NOW. If you still dont have it up to now, where were you? Corrupted Gear is RAINING… drops here and there. PvP is now up to those who tirelessly farm the Corruption Gear killing the lazies. It’s up to you… are you the one with Awesome Corruptions or the lazy? It’s all about who’s top of the foodchain.
Those who grind hard usually wins. The lucky ones were just ahead at start. Now, after weeks of Horrific Vision runs, all of us have decent amount of Corruptions. The lucky ones who are lazy would never be on top of the foodchain.
Ok, enough of touting the foodchain as a condition that corruptions are fine in PvP. What level of counterplay and skillcap have corruption effects added to PvE or PvP? It is gimmicky trash designed to keep players chasing after the traits they want. Just look at some of the recount/details of how this even affects PvE encounters.
As if you are just receiving the blow of infinite stars. Hey, you have it too and you could throw it to your opponent/s. And those wearing high Corruptions are dealing with the negative Corruption effects. You could use the opportunity to kill those with excessive Corruption. They would die using the same rules of mechanics and use it against them.
You keep on insisting to play on old-school playground. The new norm of PvP is dealing with Corruptions… You keep on insisting on 8.1 or 8.2 playground. 8.3 playground has new set of rules on Corruption. Use it, abuse it and learn to counter it.
Or go with the 4th option. Treat it like corona virus and protect yourself from the contamination. BGs from 20-119 are proactive social distancing.
Corrupted Gear is overflowing. I am really having fun playing different combinations of Corrupted gear. There are multiple ways how your targets could die. And it’s really fun how you wreak havoc to your opponent’s hp.
Is it OP? Not really. If it’s OP, why does most players cant beat Heroic Nzoth? Most cant even kill LFR Nzoth with all their glorious Corruptions. LOL.
I understand that some people are salty becoz they have limited Corrupted Gear. Good thing I am not them. BTW, Horrific Vision runs are amazingly fun as long as you dont overgear it.
