I know there has always been broken classes in low lvl bgs, but I don’t recall any of them being as bad as arcane mages are now. Arcane mages literally press 1 button and kill in a few seconds for quite a few level brackets.
This has been going on for a while now making me skip bg leveling, which I enjoy. I understand it’s low lvl bgs, but I don’t see how this couldn’t be fixed to make low lvl bgs more enjoyable.
Boy do I have stories for you.
In MoP low level survival hunters could kill people in a single explosive shot, without any gear on except for a white bow, around that time prot warriors could 1 shot people with shield slam, after that disc priests could kill people in 1 penance, after that holy paladins could kill people in 1-2 holy shocks and currently we have arcane mages and MM hunters (MM can genuinely 1 shot people with double tap aimed shot).
I’m sure I missed a few but those are some I can remember.
edit: oh yeah back in like cataclysm rogues could 1 shot people with ambush.
I do remember those times, but generally those op classes would balance out after the first level bracket by quite a bit if I remember correctly. Plus the only ones really getting one shotted were the poor new players who didn’t have boa gear and at least those spells had some sort of cd and couldn’t be constantly spammed.
