Problem is that there are three categories, not 2.
Melee, ranged, and HARDCASTER ranged.
And guess which one is boned the most.
so yall just going to forget destro stood in the middle of the arena tanking all damage 2 tapping people with 1 sec chaos bolts half of bfa ? or what about how they did basically the same thing in legion with slightly slow bolts ? or locks historically being tankier than most melee ? or SL/SL locks drain tanking people to death ? warriors have always been solid into locks.
If you have been lock since BC you shouldnt have a problem kiting. maybe its you not the class ? either way im sorry you cant perma slow everything by 50% passively through your rotation or just stand in the middle of the arena and turret people down this expansion. must be rough
Hpal burst can actually kill you. I really like that.
I remember the first time I ran into the Venthyr HoW HPal meme. It was a funny moment.
I know its different at the very top of the spectrum when you are gladiator and above, but melee has pretty much always been much, much easier to play for 90% of the ladder. Itâs laughable the amount of uptime they have, the burst they do, need absolutely zero regard for their CDs being purged or stolen, zero regard for setup or CC chains. Just mongo train something the entire game works up until about 2k.
Most âcareerâ casters can jump on a melee alt and do well. Watch what happens when someone who has played melee their entire time in WoW plays a warlock in arena the first time.

I guess a priest took yours⌠
Ooooh how I havenât forgot this ABOMINATION that was s4 bfa destro, no. I hated it still.
You were STILL vulnerable to getting pillared all game during your infernal, and the real gos being just stopped all the time. It was bad design, and yes OP. But it was still absolutely frustrating to play.
How the f are you supposed to kite melee as lock? As a NON AFFLI lock? They donât care about exhaustion at all rofl. You should try and play one right now and see for yourself.
This. So much.
try using frost shock and ghost wolfing. you have tons of insta cast and tons of tools to kite if you are sitting there tanking melee the entire game thats a you problem
Canât thoughtsteal me, Iâm on my Paladin atm. No need to think. Just zugzug.
You donât play anyone that executes it properly.
Who said I was tanking them the entire game? But even when I do kite as hard as I can, itâs usually not enough unless my partner peels for me.
All a warrior has to do is get close once and Iâm perma snared, stunned, feared, speared, charged, interrupted.
Youâre advice for a Shaman is to sit there and frost shock while the Warrior beats your butt cheeks in? I donât think you understand how valuable globals are right now and how hard Warriors hit. Frost shock is doing nothing to keep a Warrior off you as Ele. It requires a team effort.
thats the point of playing 3s and the point of comps to patch up weakness and amplify strengths
Wait your telling me in 3v3 sometimes your team mates need to peel for you? Doesnt ghost wold have a speed increase and cant go below 100% movement speed and a stun where they can move while channeling it. Cant an ele do 90% of some ones hp. People want nerfs to happen so there class can be even more powerful its dumb. The game is in a pretty decent state atm.
No amount of peel can save a warlock from being trained to the ground. Especially non-affli locks.
The game is in a good state if you just reroll to one of the fotm classes that has just instants and answers for everything.
For others, itâs a nightmare.

I miss incinerate actually looking pretty. Literally tbcâs 480p low res incinerate looks better than the sparkler garbage now. Also it doing good damage was nice. Backlash procs was also nice.
