I queued into a game with a frost mage , mm hunter , ele shaman. That was the most miserable experience I have ever had. Actually no difference in afking or playing, because you cant play the game, root , slow , stun , root, slow, poly, slow , slow, root, vortex, mage wall, poly, root, slow , slow , slow, root, charge , blink, nova, root, slow, cc, cc, root, slow, cc, ice block , root , slow, slow, cc, slow, turtle , slow , slow , root , cc. Literally impossible to do anything. went 0 wins lost 126 rating. Done with pvp for the expac. It was fun for about 2 hours. back to pve. Its crazy that in some games warriro runs free, and in others they are completely shut down to the point they are taken out of the game. its not fun blizzard. Bring back intervene banner for crying out loud.
a majority of the typical warrior skillcap is min maxing your important damage via your mobility
warrior for the last few expansions has been a brain afk dps bot so itâs like culture shock to rerollers but what youâre experiencing isnât unusual historically
you have the tools to 6-0 that lobby all of those comps kfc, thunder, and wmx are all generally better than their alternatives
WITH THAT SAID THO the average healer/wizard is completely lost when qing melee/ranged/healer
wizard backing up constantly ; healer trying to stay behind the wizard backing up
forcing you to be in a situation where you literally cannot advance without putting yourself in a risque situation and thatâs 100% their fault
best thing you can do is sit on your stun and utility for your damage instead of using them on cd out of frustration
hope this helps
You got countered in a solo shuffle match so youâre quitting PvP to go kill mindless mobs. People whine about the most innocuous things on here.
atleast in pve its about player skill, and not what counters you to the point you have no answer. Ty for your input though. This is why new players dont play pvp.
Itâs no different than trying to play a caster into Unholy DK / Warrior. They just sit on you the entire game spamming their PvE rotation and thereâs hardly anything you can do about it. Thereâs no such thing as âkitingâ in that matchup (unless youâre a mage of course).
Lock port / gate⌠completely negated by death grip x2, chains of ice, abomination limb, charge x2, heroic leap, and god help you if the warrior is running spear as well.
Look, Iâm also a pve main, but I very much enjoy pvp as well. No offense, but it sounds like you just got outplayed.
Consider the other perspective as well when you fight a caster and kick/stun/run them over the entire game; you have to recognize that they need to have tools to stop your damage.
Exactly this. I actually think youâre more favored than not, it sounds like you just donât know how to pvp on warrior yet.
Pvp is absolutely about player skill, usually more than pve - and Iâm a hof raider.
If you ever record your games and post a vod, Iâd be happy to help!
General common mistakes that I see melee players make are:
- using mobility/stuns/trinketing NOT on their damage cds because theyâre frustrated; donât do that.
-Using things like avatar and bladestorm in range lobbies for damage instead of for the root breaks and cc immunity.
-Not using rallying cry to break roots.
-Not spell reflecting cc.
-Not using shockwave when they can and saving bolt as a gapcloser or cc stop.
-chasing a bad target just because heâs low. If your teammate canât also hit him, just tab to whatâs closest.
-forgetting that the enemy healer is also often a good target.
Solo Shuffle is a horrible metric to use to determine if you like arena/pvp for a variety of reasons.
First off, your success is completely dependent on RNGâing into lobbies that best set you up for success. Furthermore, queueing into a lobby as a singular melee or caster is further exacerbated as your teammates are not going to coordinate with you in order to make you successful. Youâre essentially the sacrificial lamb. RSS eliminates all forms of communication, group synergy and skill that would allow a player to successfully overcome a handicap.
The vast majority of the PvP population asked for the game mode but overlooked all of the shortcomings associated with the bracket. You have to accept the good with the bad. You traded group content and teamwork for ease of access. Itâs the way it is.
Hang on. You have 3k xp on warlock and two gladiator titles. Is this a bait thread? If so, solid, you got me.
If not, did you just buy the account with the glad titles?
Ohhhh, our first expansionâs arena investigation!! Woohoo!
i normally just kill the healer in those lobbies
âWow pvp is really fun when my class owns the other classesâ
2 hours later
âI got into a lobby that was good against warrior and Iâm not playing anymoreâ
Have you thought about continuing to play and get better at the game so you might actually win against those classes? Iâve got 3 mages at 1850 and Iâve absolutely lost rounds to fury warriors.
I mean I hate mages as much as the next person but this is a fried take⌠whatâs so skillfully about watching a YouTube video and repeating what they do?.. 
yesterday i played Spriest into Fury, Sin, UHDK.
How much fun do you think i had for those 6 rounds?
Iâm envisioning the small sized woman on the couch with the 5 huge dudes standing around her is probably pretty accurateâŚ
