As a ranged dps main, I constantly feel like a DOG, following melees around. Thundering require us to get into the groups, all kinds of mech are dumped into ranged, the new class only has 25 yd and complains if we stay RANGED. So to make the new class relevant, all of us ranged players have to suffer for an entire expansion or maybe longer than that!??

I just did a few Mythics with all melee and it sucked for some of those boss mechanics. Hard pass.

Yeah your gonna stay in my 30 yd range and you’ll like it for the rest of time.
But seriously plz give me 40yd range Blizzard it’s so painful expecting ranged players to use their eyes and brains to realise that I’m a Preservation Evoker and stay in range which they don’t ever

Sunszu posted this earlier and I had to laugh:
How it’s like playing an evoker:
cast empowered ability
aoe appears under your feet

The biggest red flag ever is the all melee guild groups. They face tank every aoe mechanic possible because they want big DEEPS
Yeah the class needs full mobility to function due to how it’s designed especially on Empowered spells but…
OP probably goes out of range of heals on raging tempest

Not gonna lie. Haven’t done Mythics yet. Not even normal raid yet, hopefully here this week will change that soon long as affixs are not crazy bad lol, and schedule allows it.
From the leveling and mix in lfr and random heroics, had plenty of Preservation. Still hard to get use to them after having nearly 20yrs worth of healing specs being able to cast from 40yards.
Been using random heroics to find a happy medium of being far enough away from the cluster of melee, but being close enough to the Preservation player.

OP,
It sucks to be a caster right now. But I really don’t expect it to change since they didn’t bother to properly test their game before launching it.

I deliberately stay behind preservation evokers to annoy them. I’m a scamp.

Also in raid this week, the flavor of the month rogue was being extremely toxic on disc, for Brood fight, that how he can do high dps while doing the egg and all ranged have lower dps than him so we alll should be replaced. Yelling at the raid leader who is dev devoter who is also doing sub 40K dps with the rest of us ranged players. After every single wipe, this rogue will brag about his own dps and talk sh*t about the rest of us.

So kick him. Problem solved!
Ain’t no way ranged is complaining about movement. Have you played melee? It’s a nonstop dance with death.
Also sounds like that rogue should’ve been kicked. Why anyone put up with that is beyond me.

Melee and hunters can do dps while moving, meanwhile I need to setup a super long portal rotation, a few sec of movement effect my pitlord dps significantly.

Honestly Thundering is a godsend for me, can actually get some Dream Breaths on the Mages/Hunters who love to stand in Narnia.

See? The entire design of season one is making evoker relevant, while my casts are like 2-4.6 secs, ST require an entire portal setup, when the dng game throwing everything at me and won’t let me do so. Melees have things to dodge yes but they can kept on attacking while moving AND have way more mobilities than me as a warlock. Hungers can so most of their abilities while moving while warlocks can’t, AT ALL!
