You want people to just stand toe to toe throwing haymakers until someone drops? Or in your case just wait to stand in your orb?
Cool story bro…
Old school dnd fight.
- face each other in melee
- bow
- /roll to see who goes first
- use abilities one after the other in turn
- no moving allowed
- last one standing wins
Haha 
I mean for me the whole factoring in everything this guy is whining about is part of the challenge
No. Stop twisting what I’m saying.
The true feeling behind the post is exasperation that people flee before engaging even on even circumstances with War Mode ON.
Dk escape option is walk away once you kill all your opponents

I’m super good at running away
Fixed that for you.
TBF as a druid running around and healing is my main defensive.
There’s a reason the best PvP’ers are all found in arena/RBG’s.
It’s because people can’t just deathball with 5x bigger numbers, sit in stealth permanently, one-shot people 50 levels lower than them (“pvp”), or run far away the moment they start losing
But feel free to tell the world’s best PvP’ers that they are actually just doing PvE.

No they aren’t. There’s a video of a former rank 1 gladiator being killed in world PVP by someone 4 levels lower. The gladiator did some things that would have made sense in arenas but were stupid in world PVP, like iceblocking to give the druid a chance to heal up to full from 30%.
There are people who are much better at world PVP than anyone in rated.

Ahh yes. What you didnt mention was this video occurred at the beginning of BFA where levelers were ADMITTEDLY more powerful than max cap characters in WPvP. Who admitted this? Blizzard. They also went and changed how levelers scale due to this. Basically when you hit max level you lost all your secondary stats dramatically and the way it scaled, levelers had more secondary stats and thus did more damage than a fresh max capped 120. This was across the board, not specific to one player.
So if you are going to use an example, give full context. Out of context it supports your claim, but in context you are merely exploiting a scaling issue that blizzard has since resolved through a hotfix to attempt to skew the debate in your favor.

Wrong. In fact, Blizzard specifically ran a simulation with the druid at 120, and he still beat the rank 1 gladiator. The gladiator even posted in the thread, admitting he was “roasted”. Levelers were never more powerful than 120s except on test.
Bottom line, too much arenas trains you in ways inappropriate to world PVP, like that rank 1 using ice block in a situation where it made things worse for himself and better for his opponent.
Not wrong at all actually. You are wrong that I am wrong. That was the simulation of that fight. The imbalance of max level versus levelers was a game wide issue larger than 2 players.
Blizzard absolutely admitted that levelers had too much power versus fresh max level characters. This is why you dont hear about it anymore, this is why they hotfixed that issue. This why they talked about it in a Q & A. It was never “working as intended”.

Somehow I don’t think Irisse actually understood the issue with that particular fight. She seems to be under the impression that a wPVP is much better at PVP than rank 1 gladiators or any high level arena or RBG player. She continues to use that example as proof but fails to understand the dynamics of the scaling issue for those leveling vs fresh 120s

You can have the odd glad 1 player beaten in a 1-1 with a WPvP player but it would be very rare unless of course the WPvP player is an expert in the use of toys and potions like our dear friend Alphon. I would take him over any arena player in a WPvP setting but he is a rare sort and not the norm

The druid in question was very good at world PVP, no doubt about that, though I don’t think he used toys. Most toys are of more use for escaping than for winning, anyway.
Most arena players are not particularly good at 1v1, since they are so used to working with a team with a healer. In that particular fight, for example, the gladiator’s ice block would have been the right move instead of the wrong move if he’d been in a 3v3 arena. I have seen some go into assaults with their 3 person teams so that they can make some use of their arena training in the world.
And you base that off of your vast experience 1v1ing arena champions? I would really like to know how many rank 1 glads you’ve beat in wPVP. Something tells me that magic number is ZERO.
Please get a clue before posting this kind of BS.

My opinion on arena and wpvp…both environments require skill sets that you will need to be really good at. Good arena players excel at team play.
Wpvp players can be exposed to random events that make them better for the next encounter (out smarting opponents) chaos of fighting more than a handful of people at once…etc
My 2 cents

We didn’t even need Blizzard to admit that, pretty much everyone knew that level 115’s with legendaries were absolutely destroying level 120’s. It was hilarious.

QFT.
I pray for the day Irisse quits talking garbage 24/7.
Absolute nonsense.
