Merged queues?

Since not many classes in that bracket have a kick any healer is strong. Add that to padding meters with sunfire + moonfire and ele force procs = their damage is insane. Add in the shapeshift forms for mobility/stealth/tanky and you got a ringer.

Eh but since so many are going arcane mage interrupts are a lot more common heh. I guess resto druid would be good since you donā€™t have as many chances to be interrupted.

Not sure where it would be on reddit, or why it would be posted on how to do it there. Only that perhaps it was being done.

Another part of twinking I miss is making a non meta spec strong by utilizing certain gear layouts and strategies to optimize efficiency.

Bro I was one of the only people using prot warrior in the 49 bracket with success. Being able to stun multiple at once every 30 seconds with bounding stride and warpath honor talent gave my team a bunch of kill windows. Plus the gg aoe potential for peeling/slowing. Most the others were all ā€œhurrdurr fury warrior with destiny and sulthrazeā€ til my prot warrior gave em a good ole curbstomp lol.

Even come up against a premade and merked em down :stuck_out_tongue:

I remember being in the 39 or 49 bracket with a protection warrior, I had a set up with so much ignore pain that it was likely a quarter or half a health bars worth refill once at low health. The 30 second health restore was generally enough too, but it got boring so I went up higher and got repeated success in the 99 bracket, reached max gear ish got bored so went to 101 and stayed there. The biggest nerf to protection warrior PvP in my opinion was the reduction from 90% to 50%
:frowning:. At least it got put off the global cooldown again I think, that was very tough.

This was in Legion by the way, where a lot of gear and stuff was disabled.

Protection warrior was so powerful, and its still good just not as powerful in my opinion.

Well its not powerful per se, its versatile, and with team support can really shine

When I used it a lot in Legion, it was pretty powerful. Part of its power was from its versatility, but yeah team support was very important as well. It was just great a lot of times even solo.

The glass cannon playstyle of arms was really fun til they changed to its current iteration of bleed damage focused ā€¦ lame.

Its dps was not the best, but it was a tank and it was decent enough to win a lot, except of course trouble vs healers were it couldnt chip since it didnt really have burst.

Yeah arms has like no defense, and its not really major dps just on par with others now making it overall seem sub par.

It was frickin bomb at the start of BFA, idk what patch nerfed mortal strike and changed their mastery but that gutted the spec imo.

Something nerfed it a lot, not sure what. Fury and Protection is the only way to go now for warrior. Tanks got like a 10% increase in dmg taken too recently I think.

I think defensive stance got nerfed for arms but not sure.

Exactly!
The real reason for separation was not due to Twinks being overpowered at all, or else they would have fixed these broken specs etc.
Twinking allows players to play how they want, without a repetitive daily grind RNG fest which is BFA 8.3 in a nutshell for mostā€¦

I had a grandfathered version with higher ilvl before the fix, honestly I never/used it or even found it fun.
That whole Ramstein era really reminds of current 120 PVP with the all the strong Corruptions and Essences going off in team fights. :rofl:

Gotta do some testing but I have a theory on how its done

Agreed, ramstein was no fun I was glad they nerfed it. We arent opposed to being balanced, just that we can get into ques with the level and gear we want. Remember Disc priest and 40% dmg reduction? it took like half or a quarter health on a non crit even with that I think.

Idk what you talking about. I am testing a method on how to like endgame BFA without consuming vast amounts of drugs or alcohol :crazy_face:

Interesting Study! Ah, then I doubt that is something that can be personally patched this late in the expansion heh. Even with some of the repetitive parts of BfA, I still couldnā€™t bring myself to have or taste almost any type of alcohol and certainly not drugs!
