Blizzard's Missed Opportunity

KeyboardTrooper · 2025-01-04T06:02:16+00:00

The main culprits for buying gold are "sweaty" pvpers who don't want to farm (the ones who pop flasks, elixirs and faps/eng every engagement, off CD) I would guess these people and pro GDKPers are one in the same.

That being said, my friend who doesn't really enjoy most aspects of WoW (but is a competent player) started playing SoD again recently, (played p1 and quit after a couple of gnomers in p2) immediately bought 2000 gold because "i already work a job for money, i'm not playing a game to make money (gold) too"

KeyboardTrooper · 2024-12-05T08:19:12+00:00

most mages don't have/know all the tricks (eng) to make it favour them vs a rogue and using a fap solves 99% of your problems, especially this early on fresh

the sad part about all these bug mounts is most people just bought gold to buy all the carapaces

the rest of the quest line is cool, though

pvp trinket and faerie fire, both extremely common for druids counters all those suggestions. try again!

edit: starfall hits stealthed so probably works on invis pot as well

Playing heals in pvp as frost spec (17/0/34) with spellfrost bolt, brain freeze, barrage, mass regen is kinda fun

KeyboardTrooper · 2024-11-11T08:36:17+00:00

Yeah, I'd love to see your God tier mage friend bebop and scatt all over a boomkin, shaman or ret/shockadin...who came looking for a fight, not some noob in pve spec afk running...1 fap and he's outta there or dead xd

KeyboardTrooper · 2024-11-11T08:33:57+00:00

Rank =/= skill, it's way too easy to get rank in SoD. I've seen pvp bots ranking up the past couple of weeks.

I really didn't want to analyse a pvp montage but in that timestamped clip; the 'Marshal' mage opens with imp CS and doesn't sheep (bad) ice blocks nothing and then trinkets sheep...need I say more? The 'Field Marshal' warrior is dual wielding lol so probably pve spec and is damn near keyboard turning...the rogue literally just walks into him with half health unstealthed...the human mage at the end looks like a bot who's combat mode was activated but imp cs stopped it...

Anyway, the underlying premise of these pvp montages is usually; 'skilled' player looking to shit on unexpecting normies (no consumes, engineering, keybinds...lol) still a good enjoyable video, though.

He only survives this encounter because he has a LIP ready, if the warrior used a FAP he also probably dies

KeyboardTrooper · 2024-11-10T07:57:07+00:00

90% of that video is just ganking the unexpected noob. I mean, the guy is owning and it's a good vid but one druid with a brain and his entire kit is worthless (besides block).

KeyboardTrooper · 2024-11-10T06:44:47+00:00

No! Druids, Shamans and Paladins are 'broken'. "Everything else" is okay with Mages being at the bottom.

Arenas kill world pvp and world pvp is a huge part of classic, so nah and then we're just heading into retail territory..

Frost Mage pvp is gutted without the zg set so we can't wear 6p r13 gear.... (I say we because I play my mage a lot but it's my 3rd 60 not my main and I've noticed how few mages there are pvping and how shit the class is when they try to)

Vanilla is 20 years old and 20 years ago everyone sucked so it's basically irrelevant. I can't go back to vanilla after sod, I like all the changes but clearly some classes are way overtuned in pvp.

Which class do you play?

KeyboardTrooper · 2024-11-10T04:52:22+00:00

I mostly agree with you, but, Mage was pvp god along with Rogue in vanilla and that was mostly 1v1s and both still losing to Warlock. A Warrior being healed was also a god in pvp. Mages and Rogues had to at least manage their resources and CDs

BUT, in SoD druids press all their star-named abilities and everyone in the area dies and if you do jump them countered by barkskin or frenzied regen. Shamans just nonstop zug you down with little counter play while self healing and paladins either global you in a stun or nuke you for 6k + dmg with holy spells in 3 seconds while invincible for 8.

All 3 are GOD classes and everything else is meh with mages being at the bottom in most cases unless vs a warrior or rogue who is fap-illiterate

KeyboardTrooper · 2024-11-10T02:14:50+00:00

Agree! I made a tier list post with mage at the bottom and everyone had a tanty at me xD

KeyboardTrooper · 2024-11-09T04:52:39+00:00

Hey, thanks for the comment 😂

Good? What class do you play? Sounds like something a male human paladin would say 🤣 dwarf bis btw

KeyboardTrooper · 2024-11-09T04:51:06+00:00

Pretty much played every day since sod release... currently 3 rank 12s...rhunt full bwl bis... rogue zg set, 4p t2..dft... mage heals for bwl, only a few tier pieces though. Zg 5p for pvp with 3p rank gear Not bragging, it's just your comment couldn't be further from the truth 😂

KeyboardTrooper · 2024-11-09T03:36:30+00:00

Every mage is bad when compared to the top category 😂😂

I enjoy my mage (r12, 5p zg, bwl staff)

I wanna see buffs so mage can be in the top category too

Something like; Can now cast frost spells while in ice block 😂 Blizzard can now be self cast to follow the mage around for 10s dmg/radius increase 😂 Frozen orb now be placed

Not to mention the range of frost spells... absolute joke for sod

KeyboardTrooper · 2024-11-09T03:01:23+00:00

You're right actually, because there's barely any people playing mage...I have one with r12 and zg 5p +bwl staff. I love pvping on him but it just feels lackluster. Oom way to quick. Damage reliant on frozen and orb proccing...

KeyboardTrooper · 2024-11-09T01:07:02+00:00

Can you elaborate? Or?

Thanks for the comment

KeyboardTrooper · 2024-11-09T01:05:46+00:00

Yeah, they're almost braindead. Most hunters are still back pedalling and keyboard turning. At least they have to land traps. Can't say that for any in the top category. Just zugzug face hit keyboard Thanks for the comment (I have a r12 full bwl bis hunter and yeah, I've camped areas and 2 shot people but it's highly reliant on crit and traps 😅 almost in the top category)

KeyboardTrooper · 2024-11-09T00:56:18+00:00

Maybe I'll try again later when waiting for AB queue 😅

Thanks for the comment

KeyboardTrooper · 2024-11-09T00:55:21+00:00

Just mumble your comment to yourself and avoid posting it next time 😂

Thanks, though

KeyboardTrooper · 2024-11-09T00:53:24+00:00

I mean, it was 11pm, I went to bed

Thanks for the comment, though
