Casters vs melee

What is the upside of playing caster?
You can’t kite 2 melee and a healer. Teammates almost never peel or help.
You take a trillion damage while getting trained into the ground.
It’s extremely hard to land cc when the healer can easily line you during precog with two mongoloid melee hanging off you.
It feels like cc doesn’t even matter anymore only doing 1million dps with 90% uptime and being gifted a free kill within 2 mins after quickly burning through defensives.
Playing a caster is pure masochism i’m joining everyone else in rerolling to braindead zug zug it’s mm and unholy time.
Hurr /char hurrr

Increased range and crowd control options.

You usually can when it matters, and if you can’t you can always drag.

Ehhh.

2 melee with a healer helping them have like 10 different ways to get on you, staying at range is impossible. They’re also permanently ontop of each other so cc’ing one of them usually results in it breaking while damaging the other. It just feels so faceroll to be a caster against this stuff

It doesn’t matter.

in what world would it ever make sense that you could “stay at range”

the idea is that you control their positioning and have tools to create gaps when their damage matters

both of those are completely lost on lower rated wizards and they spend all game anxiously trying to run away and do nothing expecting some sort of extended downtime for no reason

U dont have to stick to ur target, is more confortable, and sometimes the enemy team just ignore u.

Nobody can.

Nor should, the team must peel for the healer and use their CCs on the enemy healer.
If u’re being targeted as a ranged dps in a BG try to position urself away from the tf, specially as a hunter, u have the highest range.

You must not play caster/the game because you’d know that melee do tonnes of damage outside of their cds and will still easily kill you if you don’t kite them the majority of the round, which is impossible. their damage matters every second when face rolling a caster

3k on multiple classes ; 2700 on every melee ; 2700 on warlock and ele

that’s negligible for your healer/passive durability outside of specific windows

in those specific windows you’re gonna wanna use your port or blink or disengage or roots ect

when you’re a new player you don’t recognize all of the obvious tells and that’s fine it’s part of the game and the reason you’re putting reps in at all

you’re avoiding pointless damage and tanking important damage due to player skill

generally speaking casters are typically stronger than melee in basically every way
obviously right feral and unholy are better than everything except hunter but generally not the case and likely wont be for much longer

The upside is that you get to spend an extra 12000 honor before you get precog and can actually pvp without being stopped 50 different ways after juking both kicks from zuggers dogpiling you :))))))))

Nobody is those ratings in anything other than blitz which isn’t being discussed here and the meta is far different from even last season onwards.
Those ports or blinks do nothing against 2 melee and a healer lmfao they’ll be right back on you within a second and you have nothing left.
I don’t think you’re reading what I’m typing lol.
Anyway being a caster is far too headache inducing for a video game, I’m now a hunter and a dk! I encourage you to try push rating right now as a caster and educate yourself on how ridiculously cooked it all is, you’ll be facing 2 zuggs every single game

i don’t think you realize that what you’re saying is stupid and you feel the way you feel because you are bad at the game
there are wizard players not at all experiencing what you’re experiencing because they’re not you

it is completely ok to be objectively bad at the game ; but there’s extremely clear examples of good players demonstrating exactly what i’m saying and you choosing to ignore that and focus solely on your extremely inexperienced world view

that’s pretty telling about you as a person so i don’t mean to be rude ; only objective

Hahahaha you’re a total clown if you’re not trolling. Anyone that actually plays the game feels this way about melees right now. Usual loser move to try be an arm chair psychologist on the wow forums of all places

You’re just frustrated and don’t want to hear that you’re playing incorrectly and that’s okay

Rent free for no reason :relieved:

We do when we’re upset, but then calm down and realize melee couldn’t play in an interation where they can’t connect with their target ever.

There’s always a few things that could be looked at but generally all of us could help ourselves more by playing differently.

Never said they shouldn’t be able to connect to targets ever.
Just that it seems far too easy for them to have like 90% uptime while chillin and blasting a gazillion damage. Feels like I have to unlock a cosmic brain to just barely survive and win. Ima swap to the other side and am assuming it’s gonna require far less thinking/sweating

If you’re playing mage or mm or dragon and a melee is just permanently on you then that’s massive player error

Nah it’s not, you just don’t play caster nowadays. You simply can’t kite 2 melee and a healer for more than like 20 secs max. You have like 5 buttons to escape and they have 10+ combined
