Its not the Q’s, he is having problems getting partners. thinking OP’s post is a bit misleading, and he is not wrong about trying to find 2K+ 3’s partners if you dont have a group already. I joined week 2 and it was struggle to find anyone at all to even get started so I just grabbed a rando zero XP rogue from general for 2’s and just sending it. Its goin well so far.

Alliance or Horde?

:woman_shrugging:

First character was allies because it was highest level, next character is UD Mage for Arena.

Is this what you are referring to? You are playing as a mage on Horde, and picked up a rogue to queue with?

:woman_shrugging:

No right now I have an allies rogue, and play with a new allies rogue. 2x rogue for the lolz to potentially break as many keyboards as possible.

I see. And you were having trouble finding 2s partners as an ally rogue? At what cr? (I guess, which server? is a relevant question here).

:woman_shrugging:

Well started at literal zero since I have not played at all on Cata since I don’t care for the meta. Grobbulus server. My old arena partner is leveling up, he will be 90 ā€œsoonā€, so things will go even better. Still going to play with the new guy too, he’s good folks.

Oh okay.

I have a druid that I geared feral (honor gear), and had no trouble whatsoever finding people to play with at 0cr on Benediction. I am not loving feral though, and will likely gear up resto, I just am not in a hurry to go back to gearing.

:woman_shrugging:

Feral is basically sub rogue now, its just what they did to druid; shame really since it was formerly its own thing.

I am still playing ā€œVanillaā€ on the BG weekends… Its strange to say but the Vanilla meta is actually more hilarious and IMO better overall. 5.4 has a lot of problems, namely they over tuned Monks, hunters, SP and a few other things.

Do sub rogues have a lot of team heals now? What do you mean by this?

:woman_shrugging:

How damage is applied VS how it was formerly. Rogue only has recuperate self heal.

You mean that now Savage Roar is super important to keep up again, whereas it wasn’t that important during Cata, and that Shred, which formerly was much better to use as a combo point builder isn’t particularly worth using over the lower energy cost mangle?

What is sub playstyle like?

:woman_shrugging:

Its not exactly the same, but basically similar in that you need to keep slice and bleed on target all the time; basically kinda the same play style.

Oh okay. So Slice is like Savage Roar, and of course bleeds are bleeds. Interesting.

Yeah, I’ve been really wanting to focus on Jungle Cleave, but I’ve always struggled to find either hunters or druids to play with (depending on which class I’m on). And it doesn’t seem to be as much of a comp that is as playable across expansions as some others (RMP, WLD, etc.)

I’m considering maybe changing up the classes I play in preparation for Anniversary TBC.

:woman_shrugging:

What arena comp you want to play?

I initially started playing Feral, and did a season of Feral/Disc which was fun, but wanted to get into 3s, so looked for comps that worked, and enjoyed jungle the most. That’s why I started playing hunter as well in Cata.

Anyway, I’ll probably just gear up my druid resto, and test out some comps that way.

:woman_shrugging:

Jungle is really strong when played smart, even in MoP.

Well sure it is. I guess you’re just not even reading my posts though lol.

:woman_shrugging:

was but trying to talk you back into Jungle lol
