Your new PvP tier predictions for Phase 2

WoW Classic Season of Discovery
21

mages being immune to cc is gonna be pretty fun

22

I think Hunters are gonna make some people rage still.

-You have feign death trap reset
-Now traps in combat, basically an on demand CC if someone gets to you.
-Bestial wrath with an un ccable pet
-Fast attacking red pets with 30% attack speed boost, claw spam, and increased Crit with an extra 20% focus regen.

I mean, it’s probably gonna be very difficult to deal with classes like Hunter/mage and anything with hard cc and kitability next phase.

What is going to make mages immune to cc?

Possibly, but there won’t be any new pet abilities coming to the table (I might be wrong but I checked the entire pet list for Classic WoW). With Wind Serpents essentially put into the dumpster most Hunters are going to revert to raptor or cats in general which can be CC’d much easier than wind serpents since they have to actually melee to hit something. Not only that but pet scaling is absolutely atrocious in Classic and Hunter is really going to start feeling that at 40.

I think this is why Blizzard didn’t have much to add in the BM department of Hunter and they added a TON of MM and Melee Hunter runes to make up for the lack of damage BM hunters will do.

But I believe a max rank BITE…which is most likely going to be the hardest hitting pet ability now that Wind Serpent is thrashed will hit in the ballpark of around 300-400 damage. But this will still be weak since Bite actually has a 10 second cooldown and Armor actually will reduce Bites damage since it’s a physical hit (Wind Serpent had a spell attack)

Oh wait…POM Pyro…oops

Shadow Priest is going to be a monster.

Good thing you’ll be running Shockadin in PvP and can blast from range.

Interesting.

Top things people gonna lose their minds over:

  1. Destro warlocks clapping people’s cheeks
  2. Frost Mages clapping people’s cheeks
  3. Boomkin clapping peoople’s cheeks
  4. Ele clapping people’s cheeks
  5. Melee being more or less non viable because of the above ^
  6. Some ranged whinging about Rogues with shadow step getting a kill on them once per bg, when the rogue got globaled 6x by ranged before that.

But by far, the thing most complained about in pvp this phase:

Hunters throwing ENTRAPMENT frost traps at opposing raids chain rooting them all, and leading to an “RANGED AOE” meta, where mages just blizzard/living bomb on top of the hunter frost trap while a lock spams shadowbolt volley
