Honestly complaining about the least mobile caster spec that does damage for 30 seconds every 2 minutes - while DH, WW, and Sin all have mobility, CC, and crazy dmg with better uptime is funny. As though the Sin rogue with the best CC in the game, doing huge burst with 30-50% of it from corruption passives, and able to vanish, cloak, evade, shadowstep, sprint - is somehow not in need of a nerf while destro needs to be neutered because you can’t kick in their face the entire match is big lol. Or let’s talk about how people complain about soul leech while DH has way more uptime with strong self healing…
It’s honestly just annoying how big of an echo chamber the arena forums is - when there are so many equally strong or strong specs/comps than destro. Or let’s just acknowledge the fact that people hate destro because it makes the mongo melee players mad because they can’t just sit in mid and smash buttons - you actually have to monitor CDs and avoid burst windows and the locks gos like a good arena player.
See, this is what I would think if I wasn’t queuing against Warlocks that weren’t complete monkeys.
The Warlocks who are too bad to do anything outside of CDs make you think they aren’t the most broken class in the game.
Then when you queue into the ones that have a brain, although still borderline monkeys, you realize they are the most broken class in maybe all of BFA (individually).
At this point blame the devs for adding so much borrowed power that sin can perform like this. Similar issue to warlock, except warlock has 2+ things that shouldn’t have ever existed. While the only thing sin has that shouldn’t exist is poison knife.
Ah yes. Destro isn’t broken. Everybody else is just dumb.
Good point, hoss. There’s another brainlette priest on these forums recently, named Vendes, who I think you’d get along with. You’re both of gargantuan intellect.
The damage isn’t what makes destro the problem you’re entirely missing the point if you think that’s what it is.
Destro is dumb because they can 100% dictate positioning at every point of every game, have every DR school at their dispoal including special ones that don’t DR anything, multiple schools of magic that defy logic, as well as immense amounts of control and insane levels of tankiness. But mostly what makes them really dumb is that they demand the attention of the other team, so much so that their teammates are literally free to do whatever they want, whenever they want.
They eat every kick and most stuns, healers don’t ever have to worry about getting kicked and can pretty much drink for free on demand. They don’t have to worry about other healers crossing the map to CC because good destro will always play linebacker and stop them in their tracks. You can’t ever hit the healer because if you do you have a target on your back for bolts and if things get sticky they just peel you for eternity and their healer gets away.
I played Hpriest Destro tonight on my horribly geared priest and I have zero clue what i’m doing (literally forgot to fortitude like 4 games), we went 20-1 and were playing @ 2200 mmr by the end of the night rolling people because they had no good options; hit the lock that never dies and I free cast or maybe try and kill the vulnerable priest lol jk my lock peels for me the second you even sort of start to get some pressure.
Monks, rogues, and DH’s can NOT help their healers or teammates defensively in ways a destro can. Their utility in that sense isn’t even in the same universe leaving all of their teammates as viable kill targets at any time which is how the arena should feel. If you think uptime / damage is what makes a class good in arena you’re entirely missing a large part of higher level play. The classes that can dictate pace and positioning are kings, and destro are the tyranical overlords when it comes to that. They do whatever they want, whenever they want, and theres nothing you can do about it.
We played a game tonight where my lock sat at the front of our start room and I sat behind him. The DH died pretty quickly. Whats he gonna do about it?
fire mage is not as bad cause they cant stand in the middle of the map and spam Gpyro, warlock is god tier tankiness plus can global people. should just give +1000 rating if you play a lock, brainless class.
