What changes will happen today?

Your takes are normally fair, but putting fire/frost mage and affli lock in the same group of needing nerfs as ret, boomy, and DK rn is wild lol

idk, I healed some (very fresh) 3s last night and an afflock decimated us. One biased anecdotal account, but that was a LOT of damage

until frostbite is removed, frost mage can always use more damage nerfs

This is always the best play. They know people will reroll and it will cause them to sub for longer.

I haven’t seen a single affliction lock do well this season as my own anecdotal evidence. Sure some do top damage, but in this bursty insta kill meta they aren’t really strong at all. I’m also a huge affliction hater btw

Fire mage is the highest 3 repped specs in NA and the top 2 mages played frost and fire more than arcane with war and fw/hpal.

It may actually be better than arcane atm.

Also, ALL 3 lock specs are good and thug says aff is the best lock spec of them, it just feels worse to play because you need to play suoer evasive and lame.

Whazz and Montage also said assa + aff gonna be one of the best comps again.

Further, if burst damage ever goes down, lock shoots WAY up in power.

random question since people are here, should I be worried about going 3-5 in blitz so far

not sure if my mmr can get screwed as much as shuffle from bad placements

You’re not in the council because you need a recent r1. The council has spoken.

My guess is little to nothing. People still getting tier, they just dropped the new expansion last week, they don’t care anyway, etc.

you’re talking about
 arcane? needs more mobility?

Guess it depends on what your end goal is for the bracket, but even quagmires can be climbed out of, just depends on how much you care / how determined you are.

Last season on an alt spriest, just for the sake of doing the weekly Blitz quest for Conq, I queued a few games which were all losses (a 180° different experience from anothers of my spriests that season). So just on principal alone I was like “I am not under any circumstances ending this with a negative W/L.” First 7 games were all weird losses, but about 70 games later I finally broke even.

All that unintended time spent on a toon I really didnt care about in a bracket I didnt care about cuz Blitz, just because I refused to end <50% W/L lol. F’in worthless time sink that was, but I definitely dont see your 3-5 start as insurmountable.

PvP changes? In this pve game? Come on guys, we all know blizzard cares more about banning people that say bad words then actually fixing the game LOL

Why do less experienced players always say things like this? They definitely do care please stop with this propaganda

What mmr are you at? Normally if you winstreak out of demon mmr (anything below 2k honestly) the games get way way easier. Which is really funny.

In exchange for removing its passive snare.

arcane does not need more mobility lmao, they can already blink 6x every 20 secs, most specs dont get passive snares


If you’re struggling to catch a spec with a -10% base speed modifier on anything that isn’t called Warrior (or your comp doesn’t have a purge) then I don’t know what to tell you.

What I’m suggesting actually makes Arcane EASIER to catch, not harder.

I promise Swole, Blizzard does not care outside of money LOL pvp outside of AWC makes no money, therefore they do not care. Reality is not “propaganda”, I wish some of you guys would bother learning what words mean before you use them.

I dont think its a caring issue more so an automation issue. Tuning the game similar to banning people that cheat, win trade, or buy pilot boosts requires human effort. Banning for abusive chat through automation doesnt. Once blizzard unleashes AI employees they might do it all

Go ahead explain how they don’t care.
