Stun, stun, more stun and done

So, I am back from sitting Legion out and just came back a few weeks ago for BFA. I am not a hardcore pvper but I USE to enjoy queuing for a BG now and then.

NOWADAYS, forget it! World of Melee craft and no DR's is nuts! As a caster, you have no way of getting a melee off your !@#$ and worse, two or more and your stunned to death. It's absolutely absurd. Really disappointed that Blizz doesn't seem to give two sh1ts about it because hey, it's all about balancing 3's in arena I guess.

Anyway, had to come and rant - it's very disappointing to play as a caster these days in BG's, let alone a focused healer,

Look, I don't entirely disagree with you, but your spelling/grammatical errors are just jarring.

"I USED to enjoy"

"World of Melee craft and no DR's are nuts"

"two or more and you're stunned"

Sorry. </rant>

Take that, grammar police.
Twoo can play your're little games

Sorry couldn't help myself, it is easy to type something and miss things. I sometimes could swear I didn't make any mistakes and then look back and be a little embarrassed.
Sorry, are you addressing me? If so, you're wrong.

Guy, who really cares if there is a misspelled word?

I am not writing this to be graded for college, I love it when the grammar police come out and then THEY make a mistake. Anyways, the point stands. The BG experience is about as fun as receiving a reply from the grammar squad.

Stuns are annoying but I think the far worse offender is the myriad of instant gap-closers that melee classes have now, coupled with snares that reduce your movement speed to 50% or less. If a Demon Hunter, Death Knight, Rogue, or Warrior decides to attack me (which happens pretty often), there just isn't any possible way for me to peel them off without help. You say PvP isn't balanced around 1v1? Okay, then why don't the above-mentioned classes need any help jumping on a caster's butt and wrecking him?

I agree, extremely frustrating that melee has 100% uptime on casters.

sorry bro, thats just the way it is.

as a healer.... you are the main target.. smart teams dont want you pumping out those juicy heals... we are going to stun you, debuff you, nuke you.. do whatever it takes to stop you from healing.

it is what it is man.

try to stay back, avoid fighting in crowds and ask your team to peel for you.

healers are very powerful. if you put a healer into a 1v1 arena the healer could solo most dps classes tbh.

This. It's the nature of the beast. As a disc priest, you will get no sympathy from anyone. G'hune is even !@#$%ing about them.

Yes, heh iz addreessing yu.

I am confident that your grammar tutorial will be appreciated in an actual English class.

2 or more stuns......now that is the problem. It is reasonable that you lose to 2 on you with double DPS or even 3 on you with triple DPS.

As a disc Priest yes I'm in a pretty good position. As for the Moonkins, Elemental Shamans, Warlocks, and Shadow Priests..... they have a real uphill climb any time a melee attacker looks their way.

And melee literally have to slog through mud in order to close the gap if range spot them first. Between the fears entangle slowing totems charm and fear by the time a melee is next to their target 1/2 of their health is gone.

Yea, and if they don't we squash them in seconds

But this is casters who know their moves. Guaranteed new players who haven't bothered looking at a YouTube guide for their class. We've done this, 11 years in now and that's what this type of game takes. Learn your class.

@Jugajr have any troubles using your fear chains to stack damage, your portal for mobility every 30 seconds?

I doubt he does.

Wtf is the rest of yalls problem is classic, and I mean CLASSIC git gud scenarios.

And I'm quite tired of hearing this on the forums. We get it, you're all new/super terrible at the game. I was too 9 years ago until I googled things. Practiced my class instead of complaining about others.

Ahhhhhhhhhhhh

It's amazing how many melee don't recognize the Thorns graphic.

:)
What's even more frustrating is looking at Celeste's bg record. With over 70% winrate. Still painting a false narrative about the game. I wonder why your percentages are so high? Maybe because of the OP priest joining single handedly winning all the games are you ? That must be terrible.

"Anyway, had to come and rant - it's very disappointing to play as a caster these days in BG's, let alone a focused healer,"

Very very disappointing to win almost all of your games.

moonkins are strong, not sure what you’re talking about, shamans have always been a meme, shadow’s getting the buffs it needs, the only class you mentioned that deserves any sympathy is warlocks.

at least you can tank as a disc, try being a MW monk. We go 100-0 in a rogue’s stun and they took away mist walk, nerfed our teleport, and are only giving back our original teleport in a PvP talent.

I don't talent into portal :(
