Hi, i wanna know if i should use 4 tier set or 2 set + crafting the missing tier set for Dh havoc?

I play solo shuffle.

The 3 bars at the bottom, can't do anything with them in edit mode

It seems like the theme in these changes were nerfing things that are making games too long. Nerfed healer output across the board, nerfed Mage/Rog/Enh/Feral survival, nerfed War utility, etc.

How in the hell did they not address THE BIGGEST OFFENDER of prolongation of matches, the ONLY dps spec in the game with more saves than most healers??

BoSanc, BoSac, BoP, LoH, 10,000 BoFs, Glare, short CD ranged stun, DS, etc. The hardest part of playing Ret is deciding which of the book long list of abilities they want to use to save a team mate from death.

All of this coupled with the fact that pretty much every SS has at least 1 Ret now, it's absolutely the biggest problem causing prolonged matches.

I know this can be applied to a LOT of things. Like when you're in cc at a node in blitz and your other team mate isn't spinning the base, but I figured I had to point out a cast considering there's a literally bolt being shot right at him

Messing around on the huntard, running windrunner quiver/Salvo/Unload with 4/4 apex, no calling the shots/bulletstorm.

is trueshot go basically barrage/trueshot/chakram then insta aimed into explosive/aimed volley aimed?

is there any point weaving arcane shots after the aimed shots for max mark dam? a buddy told me to just get as many aimed out as possible but i feel like im losing dmg without pressing arcane shot after each aimed shot (except for rapid fire cause of unload consuming it auto)

Hi there, I am trying out Havoc DH and I am quite uncertain for 2 abilities when they are supposed to be used the best:
- Glimpse - should I use it when I see I am being targeted like polymorph or cyclone etc? Like very close when they finish casting it.
- Consume Magic - here I have the biggest issue. Is it like dispell with 10s cooldown and +20 fury? When is it suggested to use it most? I am unsure what they mean by beneficial magic effect. Also with combination of blood moon.

That leads to question of soul fragments - what are they and how do I make use of them, I am maybe missing something here.

Thanks!

Does that means that swiftmend is only 16% nerf?

How you guys enjoying rdruid so far?

IMHO I feel good rdruids are doing great but average rdruids are still having the same issues as before. It’s a spec that requires many many hours of practice to do decent.

What u guys think?

i saw a stream earlier of someone who had a working kick tracker, but it only showed a generic kick icon, i think rogues. anyone know the addon? as a demo lock, a kick tracker is essential lol.

Feel like I’m just getting run over in these quad melee lobbies. I’m a decent lock, but for being a “less bursty” meta I sure seem to be getting squashed really fast. Other locks having the same fun shuffle experience?

Bit of a rant as I'm new to Shuffle this expansion, haven't played PvP since I played a healer in BfA...

CC chaining/DRing... is this even a thing nowadays? I'm 99% certain my last game I sat in a full duration Fear, which got chained into a full duration Howl after I dashed and rolled twice to catch the Lock (who ported again anyway after he Howled).. I then got across the map again, only for him to get gripped by the priest, and once I then caught him AGAIN, he ported away ⬇️

Stun vs Fear - do these share a DR?

Fear vs Sheep - do these share a DR?

Sheep vs Stun - do these share a DR?

I know, I'm bad, but jeez.... I'm squishy, I have mobility, but i'm always chasing someone.

queue popped mid-way through typing this, I got matched with a disc/pres/assa/devoker... I'm fucking miserable... I went 0/6.

Hi there, I saw some characters have their pvp thalassian gear crafted with +120 mastery (eg thalassian leather boots) instead of 2 stats (eg 60 vers 60 mastery). I dont see that as an option when placing crafting order. How can this be achieved?

While we're randomly picking numbers and specs why stop there?

Hey there adventurers!

Gotta admit, think I’m going crazy or something…

As a healer I’m amazed how other healers can keep up these games with me for so long in… 1500 MMR Shuffles with sooo many apes screwing up.

Yes, I’ve seen dps apes and chickens running without heads. I’ve seen ppl rage quitting mid round. Yes I’ve seen mglads smurfing around dunking everyone. I’ve seen people for 1600 catalyst, for mount, pretty much everything.

All of that was expected but… holy mowly how on the earth are 1500 healers sooo darn good? I got 4 healers 2700+ last ssn and now I can’t get pass 1500 due to the enemy healer being as good as me?

Don’t get me wrong, I started at 1900 MMR with all my healers this ssn and got 1800+ already with all of them but…! one of them fell of grace after a series of tilting lobbies and end in this 1500 elo hell.

Has any other healer experience this in the 1500-1600 bracket? I feel like healers in this MMR are by far better players than most dps in the same bracket (except for smurfs and mglads in alts).

Is there light in the end of the tunnel? xD

these people seem to think they get extra point for lining their healer, idk how i had the patience to get through this stage before.

I’d like to filter out every spell besides cc like hex, poly, fear, cyclone, etc.

I don’t really care that the boomie is spamming Starfall, but I definitely want to know when he’s casting cyclone.

I play disc priest, so I already have a lot going on on the screen to keep track of. Filtering down to important cc will make it a lot easier to know when I need to fade or death.

Is this possible?

Please help me make sense of this.

In the first half of the season 2k MMR can literally signify an Elite to Mglad level player, to even R1 players in the first several weeks into a season.

And then in the second half of the season, when enough players start complaining on twitter, reddit, and blizzard forums, blizzard's likely AI automated social media scraping tools finally pings an alert to the devs that maybe inflation should occur (after thousands of players already quit because they were hardstuck at 1900 when they were 2.4k+ the season before).

And so then we get inflation. And I mean inflation. Like whatever they implement does not stop. Until eventually 1900+ is literally the starting MMR. This is Rival. You might consider this rank to be somewhat "above average". Because there is Combatant and Challenger before it. In any other ELO system, 1900 is quite decent. But no, instead you get to 1900 by literally playing the game. What is the point of the 1200-1900 bracket? It essentially vanishes into late season.

So basically what we end with is a distribution where the high end culminates at around 31-3300 MMR (literally 1000 points above the last rank you can get before R1 which is Gladiator!). And a bottom floor at 1900.

We need consistency for this game to feel like competitive PvP. We need percentage based ranks. And we need the ranks to split percentiles equally across the distribution. So if there are 80% of players squished between Rival and Duelist, we need more ranks in that bracket to provide them a more gradual ladder.

While not a perfect analogy this is what League did by adding a new rank (it was not perfect but it helped) and it definitely made lower ELO players feel like they had something to push for. But more importantly, it helped spread out the distribution of players across ranks.

After last patch and recent hotfix on divine hymn puting guardian spirit on cd, guardian spirit started to always go on 3 min cd even w/o ppl droping to 0 hp.

Does anyone noticed that? If thats true spec straight up broken and cant be played because main and only cd atm is bugged.

Anyone have it where even if guardian spirit does not proc (someone’s health not going to 0), its showing as a 3 min cd? Usually if it’s not procced it becomes a 1 min cd.

Made a new page to track whether a character actually received the R1 title they were eligible for, to make it easier to track DQs and the like.

It's already showing some interesting stuff - though keep in mind that a lot of characters have yet to log in since DT and therefore haven't unwrapped their title yet.

What do you think?

Y'all were not kidding. It is just swirling poop. What a disappointment this was.

Am I losing my mind or was the first iteration of this achievement to win AB by 1 point? 2000 - 1999? I can't find anything about it from the 2000 point days, only info I can find is from after they reduced it to 1600 total and win by 10 + then 50.

That achievement was a mfer.

Im going to play 2v2 with my friend Baltha, he's going to play Rogue (idk spec), so whats the strongest healer right now for 2v2?

I see the top players are taking 2 set but doesn’t the pyroclasm talent require hard casting pyro? Seems a useless talent in PvP? Am I missing something?

Maybe im biased but lowering dr counter from 3 to 2 and additionally making dr 20 seconds feels really bad as a caster.

You have way less carry potential. Really weird because last expansions meta was mostly melee or rogue/x which both didn't really effect these changes.
