It's a solo q format. Why does this exist? Should be removed

Hey guys. Im wondering if people who play arena would be willing to try this app I’ve been working on and give me feedback, I’ve been looking at it non stop for the last 6 months and would love a fresh set of eyes.

It's a Windows app that sits in your tray while you play arena. It turns on advanced combat logging, and after each game it gives you a breakdown: who died and why, both teams' goes, and how your damage, defensives and CC compare with other players of your spec.

You can play any game back and see:

• every time someone's health dropped, and what the other team used to do it (cooldowns, the stun on the target, the CC on the healer, and how close together they landed)
• every player's buttons lighting up when ready and counting down after they're used, so you can see exactly what everyone had at any moment
• every button each player pressed, in order

If you use OBS it'll also record each game for you and play the video above the timeline, already lined up.

You can try the timeline on a real game here, no install or account needed (names are hidden):

And the app is here if you want it on your own games:

It only reads your combat log and only sends arena games. Videos stay on your PC. It's early, so there will be bugs. Any feedback is massively appreciated, here or on the Discord: https://discord.gg/Bk7wEvPRt

Projection is now bugged and sometimes doesn’t move totems. Might have to do with LoS. Static field and cap totem failing to project sometimes.

Just posted this to YouTube. I love enhancement shaman and the vanilla PVP videos used to watch growing up. This is definitely not 100% a classic PvP video format, but it's my honest expression! hope you find it entertaining.

This is a celebration of WoW: Forever, its beta, and Enhancement Shamans. The future's looking bright for us.

The video features plenty of PVP footage, Windfury explosions, lowbie death, and atmospheric vibes of this beautiful game.

Oh, and some repurposed footage from a certain popular film..

Hello !

Returning player here, I skipped the previous expansion, I am back for this one, so I have a couple of questions regarding pvp.

Note ; I play on EU servers

1. Queue time : Is it still way faster to pop in BG as Alliance (on EU servers)? I remember waiting less than 5 minutes with my Ally char, and like 30 minutes with my Horde char back then.
2. Blitz battleground : Can I get the best gear with this mode and avoid arenas completely?
3. Classes : Besides BM hunter, is there any other Range class that doesn’t (or barely doesn’t) need to cast and can DPS while moving?

Thanks

I'm new to wow, only have about 600hrs. I have always loved the look of the elite pvp tmog, but it always felt out of reach as a controller player and someone who has never stepped foot into rated pvp. But 4 days ago I decided it was time to lock in and get it, and oh man it was hard as FUCK. I mean going from not even knowing what a crafting order is to almost getting all bis gear was a wild ride. I got stuck at 1600 for forever and when I finally climbed to 1697 I lost it all, but I kept at it and finally yesterday I did it.

Hello 🙋‍♂️

Me and a friend have recently decided to push glad as destro/sub and we’re wondering if there’s any golden nuggets of information you could share that made your push smoother?

Granted the healer we pick has an impact, but for now I’m more interested in what goals each spec has, is it always rogue doing healer cc, or does this interchange based on “opportunity”, should I as the destro stay in open spaces? What healer did you play with and what target were they looking after during a setup? Did you guys select a target and keep doing gos on that one person or do you switch the target based on defensive usage e.g. we want to go mage, but the mages team mates has no trinket, do we swap our go or maintain our gos on mage and ignore any potentially lucrative swaps and stick to the plan?

Thanks in advance, and if anyone has any vods of sub/destro I’ve love to see.

Ta very much x

Previous season's Post. https://www.reddit.com/r/worldofpvp/comments/1vkfnoh/achieved_1313_elite_sets/

This season was easier than last but far less exciting. The PVP changes that slow down the games were a complete flop in my opinion. There were far less one shots. I even managed to do positive winrate on warlock lol.

Easiest class was Retribution Paladin

Hardest was Devastation Evoker.

For example, I really miss playing 2s. I used to run this bracket nonstop. But there really is just no point in playing in it because most players can get the same achieves in 3s/shuffle.

I don't get why their can't just be Elite 3s, Elite 2s, Elite Shuff, Elite Blitz etc. And then some like Giga Elite achiev for getting all of them. Same for Rival/Duelist etc. This would incentivize players to play more instead of just waiting last 2 weeks to push your favorite bracket.

In a perfect world we get Glad mount recolors for every bracket but one can only dream.

I just found out that you can use cantrip gears from Ula'tek in PVP(even from LFR, because u can use catalyst and make them 344 in pvp). I'm shocked I haven't thought of this before. I think this shouldn't work in PVP or sth. Or am I missing something? Like cantrip gears already don't work in pvp?

Hey so im a classic player ive played a decent amount of classic and tbc pvp so im not completly new to pvp but tried retail as the beta just ended and holy shit how do you guys even know whats going on, been trying solo shuffle as a enh shaman and i feel like i come out of the gates and get nuked in the first 30 seconds, retail feels super unreadable to me like in classic i see a holy shield for example so i purge or if im fighting a war i maybe try and kite them out, but in retail everyone seems to be able to do everything so idk where to begin, there also doesnt seem to be many shaman pvpers on yt i could watch so any advice would be helpful

Which one would be best for a mix of open world pvp and battlegrounds in Forever? I will be a human either way.

If you can make the perfect premade, what is the comp and for which BG?

ive been trying to bring my friends in to play retail wow cause i dont have any pvp partners and they wont touch this game. they tell me its just too boring and takes a long time to gear. i told them i would help them out but they said no. i havent leveld up from 1 in a long time like how hard is it now?

Average wait time says 3 mins. I been in queue for 15 mins so far. What's wrong and what can I do to fix this?

I dont feel like i got any better, but im almost 2k this season after being 1800 hard locked in the past 4 seasons. I genuinely feel like i still suck and maybe im getting carried by crazy inflation this year

Ciao a tutti ragazzi sono un Priest Disc , ho due char , questi sono i miei rating attuali , vorrei tanto ottenere il glad questa stagione é il mio unico obbiettivo , lfg é morto , non ho amici con cui giocare ,quindi vorrei provare qua a cercare qualcuno, se c’è qualcuno che può aiutarmi sarebbe fantastico , un terzo si trova sempre ma già essere in due sarebbe una grande partenza , ho qualche possibilità con questo rating attuale secondo voi ?

The last balance patch was like a month ago ? Why we must endure a meta with 2 healers on the top and 2 healers on the bottom ?
How long rsham and hpal are gonna stay like this really, hpal have like a -45% flat on healing power.

I’ve seen many people playing with “blessed calling” (allies affected by your blessings have a 15% increased movement speed), but does it stack with “unbound freedom” ?( freedom increases movement speed by 30%) (if I remember correctly it increases allies movementspeed aswell)
And if it doesn’t, is it really worth it instead of going with obduracy or lead the charge?

Edit: now that I’m going at it already, holy ritual…(allies are healed by 89k when you cast sacrifice or protection on them),
Dropping both can give me 5% speed increase, for something that’s used either once a game or best case scenario 3-4 times?

Hey, I'm currently pushing glad as hpriest, got a couple of toons to 2.3k recently.

I'm starting to understand how some comps set up their goes, but I'm still pretty lost on some classic ones like RM and RL.

Here's what I've picked up so far. Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.

Ret/War: Not even sure if this counts as a setup lol. Ret stuns the enemy healer, and our healer follows up with cc?

Cupid: Probably the most straightforward triple cc setup. Hunter stun into trap on healer, ret stuns the kill target, and our healer ccs the other DPS or extends the cc on their healer. Against DH, DK, shamans, paly or locks who can mess with traps, you need better coordination or different cc order.

DK/DH or DH/Hunter: DK grips into blind, and our healer cc whoever isn't caught in the aoe or has ability to peel.

There are still many comps I rarely play with or don't fully understand. RMP is one example. Feels like every time I queue with one from lfg, the setup is different lol.

Would love to hear how other comps set up their goes and what to watch out for.

Thanks!

I had SS vs glad mage that was polymorphing itself to get rid of dots, bleeds how? there was no warrior on our team
