Logged in for some arena what could go wrong?

Oh hey 100k Fire breath from a Combatant 1 geared Evoker, oh hey 850k damage and 500k healing from a DH 2v1ing my partner and I in a 2minute arena match after we kill his teammate in the opener.

Before I get the “oH bUt ItS jUsT pRePaTcH dMg”, the same thing is happening on Beta from what I’ve seen and continues to happen on Beta. Thankfully one good thing I don’t see on Beta is Resonater trinket hitting for 70% of someones HP.

Does Blizzard actually have developers that do PvP balancing on Beta, or is the entire team focused on PvE content? If they had any PvP developers they could begin by disabling all legendaries, covenants, and soulbinds in ANY arena for the rest of prepatch. This would be the minimum they could do to deal with the crap going on (Besides Evoker 100k one shots).

This doesn’t look good at all for Dragonflight when it comes to PvP. It’s only playing into the scenario that PvP has become a minigame to blizzard and they don’t care for it anymore.

Just press a defensive when you see boon, scales, badge and dragonrage then Spyro won’t 1-shot you.

My turtle shell can only protect against one of these, if they have 2 Evokers in an arena people just die…which currently right now in Solo shuffle this is very common.

Also all of those spells are a 2min CD, my turtle shell is 3mins. They will get a guarenteed kill with one Evoker next go.

50k incinerates are also fun.

I am guilty of doing this but worse on my lock. Its incredibly broken. Its also fun…but broken.

look harder, lvl 60 trinket does this at 70

You have got to be kidding me. Is this thing really still viable in DF at 70? If so please nerf it into uselessness Blizzard. I never want to see it again once SL ends.

Yea it was hitting for like 110k a few weeks ago on beta.

Most overperforming trinkets have been nerfed pretty quickly on Beta, but it’s just kind of playing whack-a-mole with various broken things until they uncover them all.

Well this one of those things I would say no one is 70, the game isn’t live and they haven’t done the usual live tuning passes.

I would be surprised if any of the outliers survived a week or two at 70. Then again we had shadowlands s1 so.

Hang in there pal

its prepatch. the game is incredibly unbalanced atm. wait until level 70.

I’ve been reading these “It will be fixed by launch” posts every expansion since WoTLK. It’s actually hilarious how people never learn.

Resilience will fix it.

Yea I’m just holding out hope they wont release Arena season 1 with the glaring issues that certain classes have. If they do it will just immediately destroy ranked within a week.

I heard BM was legit 1 of the strongest classes.
Sucks survival isn’t. Survival is fun to play

I’ve seen some clips of BM using a Dire beast build that might be promising. But yea I don’t think Survival is strong at all, which really sucks. Same with MM, MM isn’t good at all either.

im 2k+ solo shuffle rating as MM. it’s fine. :man_shrugging:

it’s also a good spec for shredding lizards in bgs. :slight_smile:
