I know a lot of people are complaining/talking about faction imbalance, OP classes(looking at your rets), and gear imbalance, but I was more wondering if the SoD dev. team were planning anything for the future of SoD PvP, such as new battleground, Arenas, or another open world event similar to bloodmoon? Maybe a refresher on PvP gear due to massive gear inflation from raids, or the ranking system? Thanks!

faction balance isn’t really an issue, it’s moreso the fact that a hunter can click kill shot and 100-0 you with 1 button in 1 global and blizzard thinks that’s completely fine.

Shamans been op since p1. They aren’t doing anything in regards to pvp
Would be neat to have them address some of this in a post.
- We need a good crafted pvp starter set.
- Damage needs to be looked at. There are some classes that could use some “non player” modifiers
- Would love some new maps
- Would like some RESI, there is too much burst. Healing AB is hysterical, folks jut disappear.

probably not. i go as far to say they aren’t planning anything at all past scarlet enclave other than a mothball server for us to keep characters on. i think the continued development for specifically sod is player cope.
Only rets?
Faction imbalance due to OP class, ret.
When horde win every Av and and almost every AB.
The horde is funny, how can yall call for nerfs when youre winning every thing with OP racials and OP tanks in BG.
We can start disabling racials in bgs and arenas for “faction” balance problems

STOP…
All the smart ally just go premade, the rejects throw Netflix on and fish during bgs…
Sad thing most rets have never bopped or freedomed a healer so they have no idea how powerful the class is when played correctly. Never dispelled a healer who was ice trapped and then complain that they could not gloabaled the hunter before he killed him.
Ive bopped and freedom others in BGs and pvp all the time.
Rets arent OP, youre either running low stam gear or its a skill issue

Yes they are, but not as bad as Kill Shot for Hunters now. My new most hated class.

Where did I say that rets are OP… You are very defensive, interesting…
That’s how it has always been. Ally has the best and worst PvPers while Horde has most of the middle bell curve. My premades almost always win.
SOD pvp is almost there… just a couple of changes/tweaks.

the racials have always been there, if you didn’t learn after 2019 then thats your fault
but ret is objectively the more OP class vs shaman right now
but the maps have always favored horde, blizz devs in 2004 played horde
this also compounds where better PVP players roll horde, so as alliance you just get bad team mates more often. I played alliance all classic 2019, now im horde, Ive seen the contrast.
Also, when you pug, your loss rate is always higher. As horde if you pug you still lose a lot too. There is loser’s bias here. Definitely win more as horde but its nowhere near what I lost when I played as alliance.
WOOOOOOW there is still someone complaining about Shamens. STILL!!! They nerfed Shamens to HELL in pvp. Its not even funny and this guys is still in here complaining about Shamens. They nerfed Shamens so much they just stop telling us about the nerfs and started sneak nerfing. Shamens are squishy cloth mages with no defense and your still in here complaining about them. Pallys running around one shotting everyone but your still complaining about shamens.

They haven’t said anything about it, and I wouldn’t expect anything as PvP balance is clearly not their focus.
Yeah these sock accounts are hilarious.
Sham is only ever super OP in P2 with double rockbiter giving insane AP. Nothing but a steady decline back to the mid tier we are today. We’ve been reduced to flame shock, riptide, and pray for power surge procs to stand a chance.
I would expect (and hope) for just a little pvp attention. If they dont they really should just turn off pvp flagging on pvp servers its just kind of toxic to deal with it all.
It really is horrible at the moment. Hunters doing ~4-6k damage in one global, same with ret paladins with one auto attack, shamans are tanky beyond imagine, every other class doesn’t seem too far off from balanced.
