June 4th - PvP Q&A

Leave my damp comps alone :triumph:

Not every comp can setup a kill whenever the gates open. It takes time for others

ā€œwe think that is a clever use of game mechanics, good for themā€

which eu dk?

not a bug, its a feature is my anticipated response

You say this as if I donā€™t understand how the game works. You project your ignorance onto me constantly, itā€™s disgusting

Your idea of damp comps are comps that are passively unkillable, because you havenā€™t played past expansions besides BfA to see comps that would ā€œplay to dampā€ which basically meant heavy actively disruptive comps. Their goal was to constantly avoid and prevent damage/CC chains until their opponents ran out of steam and by the time the game hits dampening theyā€™ve essentially started winning. Any set up comp was forced on a short timer to win, they had little longevity. One team was meant to outlast and the other to win fast and both were constantly having to act.

Compared to your idea where people only use abilities once every 3 minutes and killing is impossible for either side until 60% damp. Itā€™s unnecessary to have artificial game length where very few decisions matter. Itā€™s pointless. Having your power spike so infrequently that everyone knows exactly how to deal with it is trivial.

I do not say these things for you, more for the casual arena players that can use it to help form their own opinion

Is the current destro MLD passively unkillable? Iā€™d say itā€™s not even that strong rn, and a lot of melee comps would be happy to que into any destro team. What ā€œdampā€ comps are passively unkillable rn to you? I donā€™t really like that phrase, nothing is passively unkillable man

Somewhat agree, but you canā€™t balance so many different comps the exact same way. They all have different win conditions

Telling me things I understand more than you, why?

Rdruid hybrid x, rdruid/war/x

Dh/Dk bfa comps

Think the terminology goes over your head a bit much, not much more to say. I canā€™t educate you further. Do it yourself, watch some old xpac clips and I can break them down for you if necessary since your only experience is watching BfA/Shadowlands. You havenā€™t seen how defensive oriented comps could have win conditions in the past

Passively unkillable=facetanking dmg/setups without disruption or avoidance. Comps with long longevity because they actively stall the game out are interesting, doing it all reactively/with little interaction is uninteresting. Itā€™s not about comp styles.

Why am I not surprised :expressionless: so basically you just think damp is unfun because druids exist?

When damp is specifically rdruidā€™s primary win condition? #feelsbad

Maybe druids should get a mindgames type of ability then, to add some value to closing out games faster. They donā€™t add anything else other than cross cc on goā€™s, while other healers can do much more.

Druids damp because surviving is the strength of their kit

No, because I like watching MLD. Didnā€™t even mind old ele/lock/rdruid, or even WoD turbo.

If you want some Iā€™ve played, Bfa Dk/DH/Rsham or MW Jungle. Played in tourneys facetanking damage avoiding nothing until damp.

This contrasts with actively being disruptive. Kiting to live and controlling is in druids kit. Dampening with that is good. Ignoring it and living is bad. Simple.

Weird coming from a level 10 dk :face_with_raised_eyebrow:

Sim xp on priest btw

Similar xp in a different season, irrelevant now where you have almost no current experience on the class

You donā€™t arena, so how would you know

Already told you this, but I didnā€™t find priest that fun this season. Could push if I want but I save this toon for playing with irl friends that donā€™t pvp a lot. Easier to carry rating on an hpriest with stun/mindgames than a Druid anyways

Once again, Abomb soap box preaching about something he has zero knowledge about

Btw, since youā€™re unaware, matches in TBC used to last for 45+ mins :upside_down_face:
