Yes, says the warlock lol.
I play aff in pvp, not destro.
If people are taking the CB talent that ups the damage by a large amount, it prevents CB from being able to be duplicated via havoc.
Without that talent, I’ve never seen a CB hit someone for 1/3 of their health unless the target is REALLY undergeared.
Well there was a lot of times that I could sit and chain cast it without contest. So I’m gonna say that it was a bit too powerful.
I still use it from time to time but Blizz really did ruin it. Im debating on whether to run a different talent instead of Gpie:(
It could easily be spammed with someone helping you root, stun and slow while you blinked away and shot 2 to kill someone.
%-HP based abilities have no place in WoW. There’s no argument that can be made to justify it. Greater Pyroblast, while fun, is a gimmicky and toxic ability. It creates a lazy playstyle for Fire as a spec in PvP.
I don’t play fire like I said I’m happy it got nerfed and destro should be too, are you secretly a destro lock hiding on a rogue that is also a broken OP class? no skill?
You’re not doing it right then
Locks have been nerfed.
My lock used to hit chaos bolts for up to 300-400k in pvp, when health pools were about 600k for a geared plsyer. There’s a lot of procs and CD’s and things that need to line up to achieve that, but these are the sorts of numbers people always complained about. You could literally 2 shot people if you got insane RNG.
In pre-patch, that number is now about 6k when health pools are 20k+. Even with procs letting you get lucky sometimes and cast 3 in a row, you aint killing anyone. Not to mention basically double the cast time as they were with corruption.
Ice lance hits harder.
Do some research before you open your mouth. Chaos bolt got dumpstered so hard that the new dungeon build for warlock basically doesn’t cast it. Only on 1 target or with havoc. We now just spam rain of fire.
They nerfed it way too hard, if anything.
HAHAHAHA that lock “nerf” was not a nerf and mages are the worst class in the game in a long time only class with no heals and not a tank caster like everyone else.
Nah, fairly certain I know what I’ve been witnessing due to how many times I outdamaged destro in pvp as aff. Only one time in my memory where a destro lock beat me, but he was geared to the 9’s with the focused chaos talent.
If ur getting hit for more than 35% of ur health by a single chaos bolt that doesn’t have a specific honor talent (which got nerfed in SL from 65% to 40%), that sounds like a you problem.
rubs temples
It honestly sounds like ur just complaining to complain here.
nah bruv!!
It’s really this simple:
If you can’t kill someone as a fire mage without Greater Pyroblast then you simply aren’t good at fire mage. Fire does not need Greater Pyroblast. I agree that it’s a fun ability, but there is no denying that it’s toxic and unhealthy for the game. I played up to 2.4 without taking Gpy. If many of the other top tier pvp mages can do it, then you can to with practice. If you can’t then you don’t need to play Fire Mage.
Arms warrior have no baseline heal and they are a melee…
They heal 3% every 5 sec, are more tanky, and reduce healing.
Not baseline. That depends on who they are fighting outside of IP. Reducing healing will only get you so far when everyone else (esp melee) can heal (in one way or another) period.
