The caster experience in DF so far is BAD!

Nothing but childish insults haha

This coming from the guy who was raging in his own thread and when called out he could only respond with “no u” :clown_face:

you can make stuff up all you want doesn’t change reality :wink:

It’s been a while.

Everything ok?

Your 100 percent on the representation, sometimes its not because the class is op, i used my frost pvp geared mage vs a ret and i got owned badly, i only ever run away to escape and fly away. Frost mages just require to much procs and casting the frost bolts only do like 5 percent damage on a pvp target on crit.

Frost may be good for slows and cc in bgs, but the damage is very bad. There is a reason in bgs its basically 70 percent of the dps are melee. Melee are just easier to play and attacks are instant, with casters you see the player casting a spell you can prepare with cds. Its one reaosn folks love hunters there easy to play and pvp rotations are easy because they can’t be silenced and their a ranged dps class. Hunters have alot of utility and abilites but you don’t need to really use them all to effective in pvp, your basically using 10 abilties, mena while other classes and specs like locks require to much ramp up time with shards and rely on procs etc, which may work in pve but in pvp.

On my hunter i don’t need to wait to get no shard, as long as i have focus energy and the cd is up i can attack, and most of my sills i can use while on the move. If all the other classes and specs were as easy to play as hunter and be effective in pvp folks would play them.

Entering combat as a caster is interesting. I have to evaluate how many opponents are in the area and juke/cc each of them before I can even BEGIN to attack.

Otherwise it’s instant interrupt gg.

I wish I could run in with attacks flying like melee or hunters are able to.

You can if you play frost or fire. Arcane requires set up.

People usually talk about the balance with pve x pvp, but one thing I’ve noticed is that the game seems to be revolving more around arena pvp and BGs feels like the afterthought, and that is really evident as a caster in bgs. The role ends up being a sea of frustration to play unless your team mates are really good (gamble, for random bgs) or you don’t end up solo against a premade, which impacts casters (and healers) much more than the others.

BGs have always been the afterthought,

Casters shine way more in BGs… and even more the more players you have. 40 mans being the best place for casters.

With my mage and priest I honestly have a much better experience at arena matches, but granted I only play casually in both categories.

Part of the BG problem, as a caster, for me (big part, actually) is running random matches and ending up against a premade group that once they get in your range, no matter how many tools you have, it’s impossible to live longer than a few seconds to get a single cast out.

game has been like this for caster for as long as I can remember, prob since BFA

I can’t remember seeing him doing a random bg video? (Not that he has not, I’ve just not seen it) I agree with you. Most of the streamers are not caring about the noobs and the casuals. They care about the playground they compete in more than anything. I don’t watch him anymore because of that.

Lots of chaos irl haha! Havent had much time to hit the forums / play wow, but its starting to settle down, ill be back soon!

Thanks for checkin in <3
