I dont play retail I haven’t played arenas since mop but how are the arenas looking for iconic comps like rmp. When I was around RMD was the go to because priest were trash at the time. We probably can’t answer this question until shadowlands comes out. But with the return of the skill tree do you think RMP will be viable and also what about druids playing RMD. Why am I here because I play classic and wanted to know in the event if blizzard decides to add TBC to classic would RMD be a viable comp or were the DRs way different? I’m trying to roll a healer in classic that I might be able to play on retail when shadowlands comes out. I dont need to run RMX it was just a possibility I was thinking of. I know that classic is not the same as retail it was just something I’ve been thinking about for a while. I used to play a lot of hpally and wanted to try something different.
If you plan on playing a healer in classic tbc then just roll druid. It will go with nearly every comp and was substantially stronger than all the other healers in that era.
Hop on any private server or just ask on their forums and they will all say the same. Druid’s throughput + utility is very strong and s tier.
I think people are going to be disappointed with TBC arena.
It was fun for it’s time but remembering crap like double healer SL/SL lock just wants me to be like naw. Add in things like mace stun, lock trinket from The Eye making them near immune to other casters combined w SL, buffs only viewable w detect magic ect, just going to hope retail improves
you played arena in mop and thought priests were trash?
still way more fun than arenas now lmao. Would take TBC/Wrath over this any day.
TBC 45 minute draw drain games were extremely toxic. Then add in S3/4 combat rogues getting war glaives just made the game extremely toxic. TBC was great when it happened and has lots of fun gameplay and class design, but the game for arena didn’t get good until mid to late wrath.
You didn’t enjoy S5 DK’s with DND that feared everybody inside or did ridiculous shadow frost damage and could murder anybody in seconds? Or Ret Paladins stomping people into oblivion?
As far as TBC goes, RMP >>>>> RMD
It’s not a DRs issue, it’s the fact that rdruid doesn’t have magic dispel
As far as retail goes, who cares. None of the classes are fun to even play anymore, so.
TBC arena is going to be trash and people have more skill now compare to before and better stuff in general etc
Poly dr’d with clone in tbc didn’t it?
I think war/lock/druid will be the main go-to druid 3s comp, just cause of how tanky sl/sl locks were, fear didn’t dr with clone and how much damage warriors do and the 50% ms, but because of how tbc teams work I imagine most people will just be playing with friends and we’ll see more off-meta comps. You can’t really just hop in lfg and play with whoever at your current rating.
I didn’t really do much arenas on the tbc private servers I played on, was just kind of raid logging to play with buddies, but I remember a few “weird” teams at the top of the ladder, especially as the expansion goes on and people are able to get more stats like haste, arp and resilience
oh completely agree with all of this and yeah wrath was like the most fun I’ve ever had.
still though, tbc > any season of bfa imo
Best pvp and pve was all mop
Also agree with this. While I had the most fun with wrath i think that was just because of what I played and who I played with. If im gonna chalk it up to best pvp xpac overall yeah MOP without a doubt, I just wish I played MOP a bit more serious.
Disc was trash in mop. Holy priest was the go to priest healer
why are you telling me basic information
Wrath was definitely the best expansion I started playing world of warcraft when wrath came out.
Don’t play rmd in tbc if ur rdruid play priest rogue rdruid or shadowplay imo. Need a dispel on your team.
That was the most fun PvP I had back in the day! I was ret in a bg and fought a rogue, hunter and bear solo. Killed the rogue and hunter easily. The beat slowly backpedalled away from me but it was for naught.
Because OP was prolly referring to disc considering that is what the majority of priest healers like to play and is the staple priest spec in most expacs
God that was horrible. Also, Icy Touch spam. Taking me back!
Edit: Memory on the exact timing of when this was during Wrath is foggy, I believe it to be around the Ulduar / Trial of the Crusader range, but unkillable ArP stacking disease-less Blood DKs hit like absolute Mack trucks, too.
