Did yall see that TBC arena tourney?

Idk if anyone cares, but Asmon and company hosted a tbc arena tourney and it was really good. Everyone loved how fast pace it was compared to shadowlands. My take away is warlock is master race (yes I know I’m a warlock) lol. Seriously tho, LMP absolutely poopy on everyone, it truly was a sight to behold!!!

Blue gear in beta is awful and isn’t accurate what will happen in s1.

Wow really?? I figured better gear would only make them better lol?

Nope, MLP is a mediocre comp anyway… there wasn’t a good shadow play in the tourney which could have took advantage of the extremely low resil.

Bear in mind classes scale differently with gear, so certain comps would naturally perform differently at different tiers of gear

Warlocks aren’t a race, they are a class.

Oh trust me, there’ll be enough Warlocks running around you’ll think it was a new race.

Warlocks work so well with every class, it’s an amazing pvp class (I don’t want to see locks with auto devour, we are past that). :stuck_out_tongue:

Good stuff to know, what do you think the best comp with a lock will be?

Locks get less dominant with the power increase to all the other classes.

Please don’t interpret this as locks are bad; they are actually very strong.

RLD, WLD, MLD, Shadowplay, RLP and many many more… warlocks have a scary amount of good comps.

You know what I think the biggest take away from this arena tournament was for the average viewer IMO? It’s not the class metas because those change with gear, the rogue teams would be a lot higher with better resil.

But it’s faction choice.

Notice how little some of the horde racials actually came into play? Don’t get me wrong horde racials are good and they have their place, but on certain setups, alliance racials are freaking STRONG. I just love seeing this when all you hear all day long is “NO PVPER GO ALLIANCE YOU INSTA LOSE TO WOTF DUDE ITS TOO GOOD”.

The very first game with mir highlights exactly why human rogues are not to be messed with, that sap is what made them win the game before any CDs got popped. And hydras dwarfs pick against other rogues also highlight just how important being a dwarf priest is at a very high level.

It’s kind of said you have to qualify a statement like that here on the forums these days. People take the smallest criticism of their class so personally!

Man no kidding, you gotta qualify literally everything now it’s gotten silly.

Lol yeah people do tend to get pretty upset when you call their class anything weaken than what they are wanting it to be.

I was on another forum and told a guy that pom pyro mage might be able to gib some people early on in 2v2 but later on it becomes worse with resil and he just lost his bananas saying I didn’t know what I was talking about and that pom pyro was BiS class all seasons.

I expect the tears over resilience to resemble Noah’s flood once all these retail babbies get a taste of it :joy::joy::joy:

Yeah tried to explain that to him as well, it was on mmochamp and those guys can be pretty sensitive sometimes.

Even told him against some teams you might die as a pom pyro before you even get anything off. Again he was having none of it lol.
