June 4th - PvP Q&A

  1. They’re doing it for show, with no plans to do anything.
  2. They already have plans in mind, and want us to believe they’re listening to player feedback.
    or
  3. They’re genuinely trying to improve the game for us.

Why don’t we have a Q&A as they did for PVE?

What is the point of a Q&A?

The Devs :pleading_face:

So I actually think moonkin lacks effective damage and is in a very weird spot of its best role being an “attrition” caster similar to aff lock, but tankier and would like to see the BFA starsurge nerf reverted (my surges honestly hit for 5k against players IN eclipse, so 3 globals for 15k damage and dumping a full resource bar is pretty mediocre, especially considering that’s what fire mages do with just a meteor cast).

I’m not sure where you think druids struggle to kill though. By themselves they’re relatively “weak” in the burst department for sure, but both feral and moonkin can set up a kill with a bash+clone or beam + clone with an added stun & damage from their partner.

He’s speaking as resto

He doesn’t actually realize how good their kit is

Is this some troll I’m too noob to understand?
Resto druid has two stuns, vortex, roots, and cyclone to net kills and/or CC so their teammates can do damage instead of CCing.
How can resto druid struggle to set up kills?

Druids don’t have as good as an offensive kit compared to priests, rshams and hpals.

They make up for this in having a solid defensive kit, which you claim to be too strong, and the main reason you think druids should be nerfed/changed. Necro + bear affinity can definitely result in rdruids being a little more “tanky” than other healers, but like I said above, they don’t have the offensive kit of other healers.

The healer meta is the most balanced it’s been since Bfa. I think the large majority of arena players are happy that representation on the ladder is relatively equal between priests/hpals/druids/rshams (rip MW)

It seems like there are only 5-10 people on these forums complaining about rdruids. They’re really not as big of a problem as you make them out to be, whether you realize it or not

i can’t wait for ion’s impressive display of legalese

I don’t think you recognize that by being extremely strong with CC like a resto druid is, it allows the DPS to fully DPS instead of setting up their CC for a go. That is in fact offense. You are focusing too much on actual damage done by the healer, when effective damage/pressure is more important. Good resto druids can enable their teammates to put out a ton of pressure.

Sadly, it may be crap for the players but it’s a success for them, all the token sales for boosts are a big hit in their eyes.

Ironic that the playerbase itself is making this a “success” in their eyes with the bossts and stuff lol.

Yeah if you think rdruids have a worse offensive kit than hpal you’re not familiar with your own class

Don’t flatter yourself. Your comprehension is still horrid.

You still are thinking about representation in a dead ladder. You will not find a competitive player, even resto druid main who thinks they are not stronger than other healers. You live in your own bubble assuming it’s everyone else who is ignorant, and still defensive enough to think the issue at hand is strength alone.

I mean pretty sure it’s one everyone’s mind. But what is blizzard going to do to address the boosting problem? :thinking: :thinking:

Boosting is destroying rated pvp at low cr 2k and below. So are they aware of this problem and what will they do? ty for youre time. :expressionless:

Glad to see they’re doing this but tbh dont really expect answers to be anything more than ‘were looking into that’, ‘oh yes were aware of that’, blah blah blahhh.

We shall se though. Would really like to see them balance the game more and do something about the atrocious pvp gearing system we currently have.

I mean what can they do to fix the gearing system in your opinion? Remove rating requirements? Introduce a conquest catchup system? That’s not gonna happen as it’ll severely impact their precious time played metric. :expressionless:
