PvP in this game just beyond bad

It really is bad; everyone knows this. It’s beyond unbalanced. It’s not PvP, honestly. There is so much burst that you die within seconds, and there is way way way too much CC in this game that you can’t do anything in battlegrounds. CC/Interrupts etc just last far too long it makes PvP not PvP, when you die within seconds, that’s not PvP either, is this Call of Duty or something? Just don’t get the concept of getting all this gear, etc and you just die, like in 2 seconds. This isn’t a shooter game or anything like that, so that needs to be fixed. Blizzard should have known this, even back in 2004.

Not sure why and how this is a hard fix for them. It should be very easy for them to properly separate damages, crits, mana, CC, interrupts, gear, and whatever it may be to keep PvP separate from PvE when it comes to the majority of spells and abilities. Shouldn’t need resilience or a damage/healing reduction in BGs either. Just separate the 2 from each other. So for example, in world PvP, if someone is farming and someone attacks them the damage, the ccs, etc they do to NPCs are different than the damage, etc vs the player in that scenario.

Keep whatever damage, healing, crits, interrupts, cc, abilities, and spells that they are normally at when it comes to PvE.

When it comes to PvP, just pretty much reduce all spells, abilities, CC, etc between 30% to 60%. Another example here would be if a spell, any spell from whatever class would hit for 2000 damage on an NPC, it would be different on a player like 700 to 1000 damage difference, so that gives the player to respond to actually properly PvP like it should be and not just die to like 2 or 3 spells or even 1, I’ve seen people get 1 shotted. This is WoW, you should be dying super quick, not be able to respond when getting CCed/interrupted/etc. I am not asking for it to be like rental WoW but it should be better than what it is now.

Another example is if I pop out of stealth on someone but as soon as someone else CCs me, I die within seconds unless that useless 5-minute cooldown PvP trinket is up. Even if I get CCed, I shouldn’t be dying like nothing, I should be able to respond and play for an additional time frame. If you want to add a damage reduction to players in BGs when they get CCed etc then I would be 100% cool with that. So, if I get hammered of justice by a pally, it reduces the damage I take by 30 to 60% until the stun is off. That includes interrupts, fears, etc.

Arena’s would be a great addition for a smaller-scale fight between players.

some people prefer faster paced pvp encounters of classic era or vanillaish type of combat to the slogfest that is current modern retail pvp.

turns out alot of people like it in fact and the forums in every other type of pvp with resilence gear included, blow up with tales of unkillable healers and people living so long that 3-5 min cooldowns are popping back up to be used again in the same fight.

so ya . maybe you should invest into some pots and equip your pvp trinket (which should be 2 min cooldown ill give you that) so that you can live longer.

other than that yes moonkin and pallies are op right now and need some tuning.

You’re complaining about massive imbalance… then are like “let’s throw arena in here”…

Yep and then you run into a shaman who is unkillable unless you have an organised group of 5. Extremely unbalanced compared to every other class

Well, if they are going to leave the game where it is then yeah, why not add arena’s too?

Because it’s season 5 wotlk levels of broken? Without healers being in a state where they can actually survive without any kind of reliability, arena is just kinda pointless. I would like to see rated bgs, arena, and maybe solo shuffle added at some point, but without having things in a better state for balance, I just picture it being super frustrating for most people.

While I must admit I didnt read past 2 sentences of your post, I completely disagree. Its actually as balanced as its ever been in SOD. Boomkins being really the only supremely OP class (everyone knows why)

Are you PVP’ing in your raid gear and have like 4.5k HP?

AB has been super fun

There is something seriously wrong with your mind if you think the game is balanced in any form of way. It’s not close to being balanced at all. Not even close. Everything is unbalanced in this game. Players like you can’t process that for some reason. It’s another reason why this game won’t be balanced because of players like you. There is nothing balanced in this game.

I indicated that PVP is as balanced as its ever been in SOD, but yes far from perfect.

The issue is, as its always been, getting people to play together as a team.

Yes that’s why classic is a pve game. I’m sorry you thought it was going to be some “pvp” sweaty version of wow :heart: If you want real PVP try the war within or cata!!! Both amazing times and really balanced. No gimmick one shots and you actually have a MMR system so you don’t have to play vs the “pvpers” you see talk about pvp on this forum :stuck_out_tongue: Hope you have a great day Sintela :people_hugging:

Nah you just trash bruh.

PvP in SoD is probably in the best state it’s ever been in right now.

Sure, boomkins are way too OP and pally bubbles with no DR when active is a little game breaking, but all of us who pvp a lot just adjusted who we kill first to handle those issues.

AB is in a wonderful state and I’ve been having a blast playing Shadow Priest.

Almost every pvp related complaint on these forums is a skill issue, with the exception of world-pvp troubles. The only real thing I dislike is them allowing 15-man premades to Q with everyone else. It’s not a huge problem though.

Well said and I agree 100%. The win/losses feel balanced as a solo que player, and outside of a few classes that have somewhat of an “I win” button 1 vs 1, its as balanced as its been in SOD and AB has been pretty fun overall.
