SOD PvP - Arena / Rankings

So, you are fine with the .1% making 100 alts to take spots from others that have worked hard to get up there?

Don’t even respond to him. He unironically believes ret is F tier terrible class for some odd reason.

Only would matter for rank 1 if they used the retail system of arena, which is 50 wins above 2400 for glad. As someone who has likely been impacted via that effect in the past, it never made sense to me why they didn’t make duplicate ladder slots per account not count towards the ladder cap percentage.

I’ll be honest though and admit I didn’t initially pick up on what you were referencing there. Been out of the arena side of the game for too long apparently, so my mind didn’t immediately jump to the percentage based rewards and the people selling said rewards.

Then clearly they aren’t good enough for those rewards. Having alts isn’t bannable nor a bad thing. If a small handful of people are able to have multiple characters in the top good for them. Either be better or just be happy were u stand.

Hearing a lot of people being ok with skirmishes, why not start with that and see how it goes? And/or make some sort of honor/rep type rewards

Could you coherently explain what makes paladin op? Or you gonna say bubble and loh

No one is worried about the 5% of the community leaving. The pvp community has always been small. Which is why im glad they dont do balance fixes based on pvp in sod

I don’t know when i ever said that. Ret is not F tier but nor is it S tier

Then don’t play Arena. No one is forcing you

Surely I can. It’s 2 combined factors: Immunity + High Upfront/Burst Damage. Step by step for dummies:

1- Press Divine Shield. Now your enemy can’t do anything.
2- Get near enemy and almost 1 shoot him with Seal Twist + Skills.
3- (Optional) While Immune, use Divine Steed to get close if needed.
4- (Optional) Use and Repentance to prevent escapes and HoJ if he trinkets.
5- If you don’t kill the enemy on this 1st go, just wait for the next auto attack + skills, it will do.

There you have it, zero counter-play to any class without an immunity, just die while the Paladin is immune.

You asked me to explain and I did it, but I’m pretty sure you didn’t need any explanation and are just being biased or pretending ignorance. Now you tell me how this isn’t OP or broken.

He will just say something stupid like “but shaman ranged” “just run away from me” “if all ret players bad how come class is strong” just ignore him bro. He’s an absolute clown who when sod dies won’t be above 2k in mop arenas

Now tell us what the other top tier class has that makes them OP.

Hunter - The obviously kill shot spammage, but even w/o that they have scatter, traps in combat, traps on a super short cd. They are so good, they dont even need a pet.

Boomkin - even with the damage nerf it seems like it didnt affect them. I got hit for a 3k+ starfire. outside of starfall im ok with their damage since they do flop over when you connect… “WHEN YOU CONNECT”. lol

Rogues - they still have the best control in the game and burst on par with Rets. Just make it so blind doesnt drop combat.

Rets - highest burst in the game cuz of that 6+ hits per GCD. But the real reason they are on here is because you fight 5+ of them in bgs and even more out in the world. Its so annoying to stay alive while they bubble that here comes another one around the corner and his bubble is up too. lol I swear if we fought 1 or 2 and they weren’t so popular we wouldn’t complain about them.

Mages - are really, really good its just that most people dont know how to gear them to not be glass cannons.

Warriors - need MS buff and make a buff to blood crazed (is this the skill that give them back health when cc’d?).

Shamans - Tank runes need to be disable in pvp. Make totems great again. LOL were they ever great. =)

My 2 cents. =)

Don’t forget lock ark thinks lock is the best class for pvp for some reason XD

I dont know jack about locks. The only thing that I hate is that green damn beam life drain. I freaking hate it.

Yeah they have lots of self sustain. And good CC. Just kill the pet that has like 3k hp and they die. Somehow bad players still don’t know this after 20 years

Bubble reduces damage done by 50%. Blizzard just added an additional 20% damage reduction making it 50% physical and 60% magic reduction pvp. No ret is 1 shotting you especially one in bubble.

Also can you not use the fetish trinket to burrow underground like actual pvpers do?

I like how when i respond to a post you say you refuse to respond with any coherent response, but when someone talks to me you give these buthurt responses saying, he gonna respond like this or say that, ignore em hes gonna say this and that. Nice rebuttals

To be fair… not everyone has it. I’ve lost out on it to damn pvers. lol

To be fair… there is 50% physical reduction and 60% magical reduction. A ret sitting in bubble trying to do damage with an additional 50% damage reduction for being inside the bubble will do next to nothing.

Please read… thanks.
