Haven’t PvP’d in quite some time. Been leveling this Resto Druid through dungeons, but would like to get into PvP a little.
Did about 15 BGs. One win. Are there servers/battlegroups that are better at PvP, or is everything just mixed together and this was a bad streak?
Apparently I can’t edit.
I thought I was posting under my Druid. Just a level 99 Resto Druid with Heirlooms.
edit: ah, there we go
just a bad streak, but Alliance does a lot better at lower level bgs than they do at 120, I have noticed this leveling many characters via bgs.
No battlegroups … everyone in one region is in same pool. Below 120 BG’s are very streaky … at 120 , it’s about 50-50 for small BG’s and about 60-40 in Horde favor with epic bg’s
Good to know. I’ll chew it out a bit longer.
Also, being a healer looks like I’m having a bit longer queues because games limit the amount of healers? Read that somewhere. Seems like a good explanation why.
Would be sort of neat to try to level a character strictly in BGs. Maybe I’ll start a DPS character and give it a shot.
Been playing since Closed Beta in 2004. Never gave PVP a chance. Its not all that bad I guess.
Horde in general has longer que times, has nothing to do with the spec. If you’re lucky and people are mercing Random bg ques will be 5 minutes but if not enjoy the 20 minute ques!
That’s what I’m doing with this char, previously I leveled a holy paladin and I did a disc priest in MoP/WoD. Healers can have longer queues but also can have shorter queues when there aren’t a lot of healers queuing. There’s seldom a lot of healers queuing. Healers can also have a bigger impact on win or lose, if you’re a BG healer I’d definitely say try a healer.
EDIT: To the OP. We don’t have battle groups like we once did but the algorithm for building BGs seems to take distance into consideration to reduce lag so you have a meta specific to your circumstance.
You have to be 110 to merc.
