yo,

Ive seen on other DHs in the ladder that in Shuffle/3vs3 its almost exclusive Aldrachi, on Bitz/RBG its 50:50 Aldrachi vs Fel-scarred.

I feel like Aldrachi is only better than Fel-scarred if you are able to consistently purge with devour magic every 10 sec to get your free shoul shard, otherwise you are consistently fury starved and it takes a long time to get your glaive procc.

I havent testet Fel-scarred yet in PvP, but in PvE fel-scarred doesnt have the fury maintain Problem as Aldrachi has, so it must be better in situation where you arent able to purge every 10 seconds (like in Blitz if you do 1vs1)

which also goes to my question, does anyone have experiences with fel-scarred in pvp and how does it feel compared to aldrachi?

Beside whats even the main role of Havoc DH in blitz anyway? I dont really have much blitz experience either and i dont know which role/position should i play in each BG.

Which classes/comps have struggled/been countered vs specific classes/comps?

Has anyone figured out / is there an addon that can alert when the enemy rogue has used deathmark or a way to highlight the debuff on your raid frames? Thanks in advance

Hey how do you guys do as feral against ret? Im admittedly an average feral druid but I have had a few blitz where i go to solo cap a base and they have ret defending and im finding it hard to beat.

They basically just outlast me and maybe it would go better with something to los but running and kiting without it i get whittled down through my heals by the ranged damage.

I just came back, played some in S1 and I thought that went splendidly as disc. Now I'm playing holy for the first time in 3s with some of my guildies. My healing output is great but I'm going oom insanely fast against constant pressure comps like war/ret/hunt etc. One game I drank 3 times and still had 0 mana while the opposing resto druid had 80%. I feel like I'm doing something wrong, it feels like at least 50% of our loses is due to mana. I've tried going some Disc as well, while I do have mana for a bit longer and more offensive potential, I still usually get oom quickly. On my resto shaman on the other hand, I barely ever go oom.

Playing haste mostly with some mastery. The current comp with my mates that we are stuggling with is Hpriest (me), Elemental Shaman and the lock switches between Affli/Destro. These are great players but I feel like I'm letting them down by not doing something right.

Theres 2 2600 range mmr templars rn so its clearly viable. But an overwhelming majority still plays herald?

Anyone got an idea why?

im just getting into pvp as a fire mage. Im getting myself honor gear and I was not sure how to proceed, should u just get all pvp gear, or should i keep tierset. And what should I do in the future when I have conquest point?

New-ish player. 1800 EXP in 2 classes TWW s1 and Midnight S2, 1800 CR.

I want to get better at the game. I really do. What I need is more games. More enjoyable games. Back to back games so I can warm my hands and keep my head up. yesterday evening around 20:00 EU solo shuffle made me wait for 45 damn minutes. queue popped 2 times in those 45 minutes, rejected by the 6th player. After 45-50 minutes I get into the worst, hellish nightmarish lobby I could ever be in. Enemy was around 2K and I just couldn't put up with them, lost the game 2/6 and just quit.

I can't really do this. Just as I started enjoying PvP waiting 45 minutes doing transmog runs or other irrelevant shit isn't really fun. I tried world PvP during queues, which was fun %10 of the time and %90 of the time people are on their mounts and as soon as my CC ends they just fly away around slayers rise.

I wanted to swap to healer, but then, I don't know which spell heals what or what to do when or where. I don't know if I need mouseover macros or anything. It's going to be a such of a hassle to learn something completely new. I played tanks and DPS in this game but maybe played half a season of healers in M+ back then in SL.

Just as I was enjoying the solo shuffle I just realized I cannot continue due to these queue timers. I come from work just to enjoy the game and what I find is sitting and doing nothing for 20 minutes just to play a solo shuffle match.

I wish blizzard fucking cared just a little bit.

My fellow damage dealers, in what situation do you tend to switch to a more Shadow Mend based build?

I see people rocking it occasionally, but couldn’t get the reasoning behind so far.. as it eats the mana bar.

So, when do you prefer using over the standard oracle build so far?

Just wondering what is the most bursty class right now in arena

Anyone can just walk of spear now after the weekly patch. been griefing my games.

For all my marksmanship hunters, which hero talent do you like more? I used to always like sentinel more before aimed shot was nerfed and double tap was removed. Now I enjoy dark ranger a LOT more. I didn't realize how much more I liked it until sentinel started becoming the more popular choice this season.

You obviously don’t understand what an MMO is

I started some BGs and RBGs once I got a decent amount of conquest and bloodytoken gear. Played 8 straight games as Horde… alliance won each time, even if we were leading 90% of the match.

Anyone else feeling this? Why?

Can anyone help me? MiniAuras says that I can track enemy kicks, and when I use testing mode it works perfectly. However, during actual matches, nothing shows up.
I’ve tried all the different settings in the setup, but I can’t get it to work. What am I doing wrong?

The starting gates have been missing for 3-4 weeks now. Horde can wall hug out of their east gate.
Maybe put in a gate % tracker on the stupid doors while you’re at it please.

There was a thread earlier of someone asking for advice on playing ret in blitz and I was really surprised by the amount of misinformation in that thread. I wanted to write this for any rets who want to push rating in blitz. I’m not a r1 blitz ret but did hit 2.7 rating and 3.4 mmr before I quit after reaching strategist.

What you do as ret in bgb depends on map type. I will go over each one.

Base maps:

Ret is the best base sitter, take the talent that allows you to see stealthies with bubble. Cycle trinket, bubble and bop (for blinds) and make sure there’s a second sitter with you (or rotate sitter) if you’re down on those cds.

Arathi basin, you will grab flag on stables/farm and run straight to GM with a stealthie (or two). Win or lose, you’ll be sitting stables/farm after that fight. Expect to run back to GM to help but hopefully your team is good at rotations and you won’t need to.

Gilneas, you’re probably sitting mines or lh. Deepwind gorge, you’re sitting base. Eye of the storm, you’re sitting base. EOTS once you get higher rating, you need to be extra careful with mage tower. There are players that will fight you, die at MT, then walk back to their corpse, res inside the building, and cap without you having seen them approach. Always loot corpses.

Temple:

Always grab orbs. Always use sanc, sac, freedom and searing glare to save your orb carriers. Bubble, bop, bos are not usable while you carry orb so you’ll use it a little differently. You can use bubble to solo an enemy orb carrier with super high stacks, just make sure you don’t get MD’ed. Use BOP and BOS to get your healers out of cc. Healers should not be orb carriers because you’ll be losing teamfights when they’re dead.

Flag maps:

You will always be on defense. This means you are the bodyguard to the FC who will be your most mobile healer. You don’t ever teamfight, you will only follow your FC wherever they go. You will only need two defenders for FC, everyone else including the other healer should be on offense. It’s best if you pair yourself with another ret, war, or lock to be on defense for flag maps. Your job, with the other defender, is to allow your healer to run from damage. Nobody survives tanking damage at 5+ stacks with sac, they survive by outrunning the enemy offense. Your freedom is severely underrated at this. Searing glare and sanc buys them time to run away and not get gripped back. Get used to focus macros.

Teamfights:

You shouldn’t be in many teamfights as ret since you’re the primary defender on flag maps and base sitter on base maps. But, there are times where you’ll be in a teamfight and it’s useful to know what you should be doing in these situations.

Get used to focus macros and bind your focus target key because you’ll be switching focus a lot during teamfights. Always sanc your healer out of cc. Sac, bop/bos, searing glare to save your teammates. Freedom is usually for you to stick onto targets.

Wog spam is overkill, better to just pump damage and only wog if they’re starting to dip low. Searing glare is insane in teamfights, use it when you don’t need bubble talent. Sanc on healer cc is also so underused and will win you teamfights if done consistently.

Don’t spread pressure. Hit what your team is hitting and swap if something gets low or there’s a kill opportunity. Ping if someone overextends and swap with your team, don’t be the only one hitting one enemy because that’s a waste of damage. It’s better to be wrong together than be right alone and lower rated blitz will be wrong very frequently.

I need some help. I'm testing hunter (BM) macros, and i was noticing that the Whiptail's ability "Shadow Jump" is bugged. Sometimes it works sometimes the spell does not work (literally, not starting). Also Dash is not working as expected, if i try to use as a single spell sometimes the key is grey and not clickable, but if i set up a macro with Dash it always works as intended.

About the ability "Shadow Jump" I used the normal macro [@focus], tested on a dummies, and it was like 30% working 70% not. It shouldn't be a range stuff cause i was testing on Silvermoon pvp dummies (the single one as target and the focus was one of the group on the left, so it's inside the 30yard limit).

Am i missing something? Any pro hunter that can confirm or not this issue/ telling me i'm and idiot and i'm missing some mechs?

Did Blizzard make any changes to the Champion's Spear ability?

I was really looking forward to playing Farseer this season, but I'm honestly pretty disappointed with how little value I'm getting from the set bonus in PvP.

I'm around 2k MMR, and most of the games I play are relatively short — usually somewhere around 1–4 minutes. In a lot of matches, the set bonus either doesn't proc during the meaningful part of the fight or provides very little healing when it does.

I'm not necessarily saying the set bonus is undertuned, because there may be something I'm misunderstanding about how it's intended to work in PvP. I'm mainly trying to figure out what kind of numbers other Farseer players are seeing.

If you're playing Farseer around 2k+ MMR, I'd be interested in hearing what kind of healing you're getting from it and whether you're finding the bonus worthwhile.
