If I’m doing 2’s I just get insta nuked. As a warrior and bastion of metal and muscle, I’m feeling like more like aluminum foil in the hands of a toddler.
Sometimes I’ll play prot, and I do live longer I’m not sealing the deal so to speak. It seems like just about everyone I run into is either a hunter, mage, Druid or rogue. Is range stealth just the optimum play?
Your worst matchup is against mage for sure, you most likely will lose unless they play poorly.
The other three, however, is doable. Make sure to disarm, storm bolt or fear their burst, use bladestorm not to deal dmg but to get out of roots or to prevent any cc.
Dont be afraid to intervene your healer for a quick disengage on their go if you dont have anything else to stop them.
Dont switch targets too much.
Thats what I’ve got off the top of my head right now.
Looking at your gear, you’re behind the curve so you’re going to get curb stomped.
Assuming you havent spent any bloody tokens or conquest yet, you can do the following.
Cap both of those out, these will get you enough points to field a full set of pvp gear that scales to 636 or 639.
If you havent used your free 9x conq crafting items yet, they can be used either going for a 2h wep with ascendance, or crafting 3x items of bracers/cloak/neck/rings of which scale to 639 (your choice, but make sure they’re embellished with something to increase your throughput, check pvp ladders as to what people are running other than ascendance).
Finally fully gem your gear, this means farming sockets from regular battlegrounds, with honor, you’ll have a total of 9 sockets to farm, 2 for neck and rings, finally 1 for each helm, belt and bracers.
Once thee chores are all done, you’ll be able to pvp properly and not be at a massive gear disadvantage a month into the season.
I dunno anymore, haha.
I reupped recently not having played retail since WoD, did some higher end arenas there, in wrath, vanilla/classic jank pvp. But this new version? Holy cow, I have no idea what is going on.
Everything has teleports and disappears across the map. Classes can make literal walls, pillars, cages, and leashes. Evokers are unstoppable murder drones. It’s difficult to get to anyone and when I do, it feels I can’t really do much before all the cc and teleports return. There are so many stuns and chains. So many immunities I simply can’t see or am unaware of, and pvp guides don’t seem to take Shattering Throw which is a talent now from some reason.
Very unclear visually. Way too many loss of control and area denial effects imo. Some people prolly like the current edition which is fine, but I gotta accept this pvp isn’t for me and bow out.
