This is why nobody plays PVP

I am a fairely new player to pvp, I am in full honor gear, enchanted etc… I am doing the same damage as the other dps, maybe a little behind, but way more healing too as ret paladin and I can’t even win a single round in solo shuffle.

I am at the very bottom ranks, there isn’t anything lower. I am in full gear, ccing, hitting just as hard as the other dps and I can’t even win a single round. My 5 holy power massive hammer doesn’t hit for anything on a hunter with no turtle up?

Like wtf is going on! How are new players ever suppose to take this seriously?

Dmg and healing are a means to an end (securing a kill)

You can be top dmg and go 0-6 just as you can be bottom dmg and go 6-0

It sounds like you’re certainly doing a lot of things wrong then!

Do you have a video of your gameplay? Id be happy to help!

There’s a reasonable amount of need to set-up a frag in this game. Unfortunately it’s as if the people tweaking the development for the releases of content in 2020 and beyond are working things as if it’s for their own enjoyment not for the practicality of the game’s overall performance while having no knowledge of the game whatsoever.

Genuinely, you’re not completely wrong but you could be doing a few things improperly if you’re alleging to be a new player.

There’s been decades of greasers flooding the forum saying ‘every expansion sucks’ and that ‘this or that change’ | ‘needs to be implemented’ to scuff the franchise and it’s now showing deployment. The development team needs to assess why that is, it’s not comparable to sales performance and player count. This is the first time I can personally say they’ve wrongfully torqued PvP combat.

Ret hasnt scaled up with gear at all. Spec deals no damage and healing.
This is the result of a half a$$ed rework.

Uhh, IDK about that. I think the ret rework was an overwhelming success… it was just overtuned. In fact, it has SO much uptime and utility now, that it NEEDED to have its damage nerfed. It is lagging behind a bit atm, though, so it’s getting buffed tmo!

I know it’s only been a day but have you noticed anything that really changed to ret like that?

It isnt about damage, its about CC, damage is secondary.

Burning Crusade / Wrath Arena still peak!

Havent really seen any to have an opinion yet! I imagine when we get tier that ret/bm will be absolutely insane, though!

Im afraid when WW tier 4 starts getting earned, the nerfs will be hard and be multiple season problems because of a set bonus.

Because we all know blizzard doesn’t nerf the right things

Oh, ww definitely getting nerfed, but more lilely because of pve than pvp
