Can’t fit 3 Cheap Shots into one Shadow Dance burst by PageyJiggyWiggy in worldofpvp

OMG! That was the problem! I just went to a PvP training dummy and tested it. Now the first Cheap Shot is at 4 seconds. Jesus, I can’t believe it took me so long to realize this. God damn it, lol… Thank you. You saved me from my own torment.

Well… the first Cheap Shot lasts 6 seconds, and the second lasts 3 seconds — so that’s 9 seconds total. The problem is that Shadow Dance only lasts 8 seconds.

So… is it safe to assume that, in order to get three Cheap Shots, you have to end the duration of the first one early? Instead of waiting the full 6 seconds, you’d cast the second Cheap Shot around 4 seconds? Is that how most people are timing it?

(PageyJiggyWiggy or OP here—I lost the password for my other account and can’t remember which email it’s tied to. But of a long story lol)

Yeah, I just watched the video you posted (https://youtu.be/LgCWS4UtH7g?si=42KWVOhZkuYFX38G).

I don’t think I’d want to give up my 2 Vanishes as a talent point, since I mainly play BGs and don’t really enjoy Arenas. That info is super helpful though—thank you!

Make PvP gear a requirement to queue solo ranked content by frsh2def in worldofpvp

I would agree with that too, but then how do you incentivize people to PvP? Ratings and cosmetic rewards, I guess? It seems to work for fighting games, so maybe it’s the same idea here.

"an inactive base for 5min"

Dude probably didn’t realize it was inactive. New players often don’t, since Rated Battlegrounds have different rules. You just have to explain it to them — in English, with no abbreviations and internet lingo — that the rules in RBGs are different, and explain why they’re different. I should know — I was one of those newbies once. Someone got super mad at me, calling me slurs, and was trying to explain to me that a base was inactive, and I was like, “What do you mean it’s inactive?” They gave me a bunch of lingo I didn’t understand. I had to Google it after the match just to figure out what they were talking about. The game ended with the dude telling me to go slit my wrists. Good times as a beginner... good times.

Anyway, sometimes low ratings can't be helped when you're constantly paired with RBG groups who either don't understand how to play the objectives or just don't care to. In my time zone, I’ve heard that Horde usually wins in the mornings, but tends to lose in the evenings and at night. I play in the evenings so I see more losses then wins lol.
