dispellable stun btw. how do you think we use hoj even in the DR? to secure a kill usually lol
nah it wasn’t. it was lazy. last time I played in the current DR my exorcism hits players for sometimes sub 400 damage, meanwhile flame shock hits harder, spreads dots to 5 dudes, and people get crit for 1400 followed by 700 lava bursts in the DR. most of my abilities got put in the same DR as classes hitting harder IN THE DR than I did pre DR
its almost like they did the blood moon for 2 phases in a row and people were exalted with AB in p2 because you could buy rep from the blood moon vendor. what reason do they have to pvp at this point… because like i said earlier
I’m not asking for pvp to be perfectly hyper balanced like an esport game. things are allowed to be strong. But having things so out of wack and then just blanket nerfing everything (which arguably did literally nothing) is LAME
well considering the GCD is 1.5 sec = 1 button press, even pre DR it took longer than 2 sec to kill. assuming I got crits on literally everything, it’s 1.5 sec after HoJ (if you’re saying people are stunning you and killing you from full health), exorcism, judgement during GCD, exorcism again (assuming my auto, exo, seal, and judgement all crit) that’s the fastest possible burst ret could put out with kill potential in HoJ window. was it a lot of damage pretty fast? yeah. but it’s 4.5 seconds in MY best case scenario for you to get HoJ dispelled and react, not 2. this is also not factoring in the extra health from BG.
I’m not charging you btw I have no mobility or gap closer, which is fine. but try being aware that a paladin is walking up to you to press hoj lol
I mentioned auto attacks with seal up in my response lol. if you’re using fast weapon in PVP as ret, your judgement of martyrdom and auto attacks are much much weaker, and even then it’s 2 seconds per swing with the fastest of the fast weapons.
say goodbye to half your abilities actually bursting with a fast weapon though, you fish for exorcism resets and rely solely on that to burst if you run fast 2h
were not talking about using fast weapons were talking about your first auto in combat with extra holy damage followed up with a CS was enough to 1 shot people. thank you for backing me up on my argument a slower weapon would do even higher numbers on the first auto as well
yes I know, I ran a slow weapon for the burst. my opener is seal up, exorcism start attack macro, judgement during GCD, exorcism if anything crit, crusader strike if not, reseal. if there was 0 stop in button pressing, I could squeeze the reseal in before my next ONE auto attack.
that’s a 3.6 sec weapon swing.
exorcism would crit for like 900-1k
auto attack would crit for like 500
seal of martyrdom would crit maybe around the same
Judgement of martyrdom was critting like 900-1k
crusader strike crit probably around 600ish
my best case scenario with the stars aligned and 100% of those abilities critting was ~3500 in the full duration of a HoJ.
fully buffed and geared players in a BG have like 6k health lmao
