i think they are too slow on tweaking the classes, we pay monthly for this game so come on
Theyâll just cry about warlocks which is understandable. I dont think theyâll enjoy it like they think they will unless they are Rogue/Mage or warlock players. Me personally I will though just because I missed playing SV/MM tree in arenas.
People amped for tbc because they think Slands sucksâŚdid not play TBC
Which expansion are you looking forward to?
Canât wait to see DK obliterating everything at the launch of wotlk classic.
Didnât vanilla start on like 1.12 or something? I donât see why tbc wouldnât start on 2.4.3 (post ar prep)
would be interesting to see og patch progression i guess tho
Similarly depends if wotlk launches in 3.3.5 or 3.0.5 or w/e. Games gonna be wildly different depending on which patch it is.
Cant wait to do 2s in TBC where each game will lasts 20+mins.
was only available in the ICC patch. So only in s8. S7, coincidentally, is regarded as the most balanced season of wotlk IIRC.
That being siad, most people still didnât have shadowmourne. It was a long long long grind lol. And you couldnât just raid whenever you wanted, you had to be on a server with a guild that was ready to clear it and have a spot in the raid in the first place. And then you had to farm until you got enough drops.
This really restricted how many shadowmourne you would see in arena, compared to say, Cataclysm Legendary Daggers that had a similar âease of acquisitionâ to shadowmourne, but you could legit clear LFR casually to obtain them iirc.
Itâll be interesting to see how raiding is handled in modern wotlk. I think there will be more shadowmorunes than we saw on live servers but I still donât think itâll be âcommonâ to queue into it.
That, and, vsing shadowmorune wasnât the end of the world. it was just frustrating. Gurthalak in cata was more oppressive than Shadowmourne IMO.
That being said I was 1800 rat in wotlk, so iâd take someone elses word over mine if theyâre coming in here being a wotlk veteran and saying smorune is the world ending calamity.
Realistically games will be 2-5 minutes long for most people. the never-ending games will be like melee x rdruid mirrors or SL/SL healer mirrors.
Everyone else will lose either on mana or misplaying fairly quickly.
I expect Arenas to be open for business week 2.
And yes, Iâm switching full time to TBC. Iâm developing arthritis in my fingers from retailâs button smashing.
TBC was garbage. Enjoy your hour long SL/SL rdruid 2s games and stunherald warriors. No time limit, no invis eyes, no dampening.

If you play a non-cancer comp, 95% of your games are over within 3 minutes in 2s.
In 3s, someone usually dies in the first 2 minutes. If they donât, one healer is definitely running on fumes.
Shadowlands arenas are by a large margin more time consuming.

Sadly, we were all so terrible back then that like if you made a focus macro you were a gladiator. Nowadays with all the addons people use⌠gonna feel just as bad as retail does sometimes Iâd gather.
I thought the time limit was 41 minutes? I remember drawing people back in cata to that margin I thinkâŚ
This is false

The 45 minute time limit wasnât added until later
No time limit in TBC. A 20 min limit would definitely be on my list of good changes for the game, but people really exaggerate how long arena games last in TBC.
If you play any double DPS comp, trinkets are thrown on the opener and the game is over before theyâre back up.
If you play WD, RP, LD or HD, 90% of your games will still be over within 5 minutes. The other 10% is where you get stuck in long games, but theyâre usually done within 10-15 minutes. 30+ minutes games are extremely rare.

Thereâs a very popular private server up right now where you can see games duration.
In its most recent 25 games, the top Ret-Sham team had one game last 22 min and four games last between 7 and 11 min. The other 20 games were 2-4 min games.
In its most recent 25 games, the top RD team had one game last 17 min and three games last between 10 and 12 min. The other 21 games were 2-6 min games.
In its most recent 25 games, the top WD team had one game last 21 min. The other 24 games were 2-7 min games.

Private servers are much different then retail players coming back and min maxing tbc to death far more so then private server players, plus the retail players are much better pvpers at the highest end. So many people will roll rdruid, lock, or double heal warr itâs going to be disgusting
Iâm literally queuing right now on a TBC private server
