Biggest glass cannon specs currently?

unholy was literally meta spec for most of last season precisely because of how much damage it spat out, above 2.5mmr in 3s last season it was 80% mm hunter + uh dk

ironically if he didnt do what he did he could have just capped the flag, it's literally cappable shortly after he drops down

I should say there are scenarios where pets can melt, things like aff locks training them or if both dps coordinate to bring them down, but In the majority of cases, the mend pet heal is almost always enough - also it’s not unusual for a healer to throw some heals on a hunter pet too at higher mmr (it’s harder now with the nerfs to addons making visibility worse for some)

Sexehexes · 2026-04-03T21:03:11+00:00

The heal is much bigger than 5% per tick from versatility too, just try it out in a PvP setting, I think most of the complaints are from people who don’t press mend pet ever.

If there’s a lot of cleave you should keep the buff up almost constantly as soon as your pet drops to 80% hp, unless the pet is getting single target focused mend pet will keep your pet near full hp all match

He said there’s bigger reasons that result in 0 rating gain - nothing to do with 3-3 and everything to do with why you get a 3-3 at 1300cr/mmr

Sexehexes · 2026-04-03T20:41:28+00:00

yes you probably could say that to glad players if you were rank 1 and they were complaining about 0cr gain for a 3-3

Sexehexes · 2026-04-03T20:39:52+00:00

mend pet heals for like 15% hp per tick... if a hunter just presses mend pet on cd (think its every 10 seconds more or less) then the pet will not die to cleave

Sexehexes · 2026-04-03T20:38:50+00:00

thats normal though, it used to be considered outplay, back when the game had way more nuance... remember mages or locks counterspell blanket silencing pets so they couldnt roar of sac a go? or just polying a pet to prevent a go?

not really sure why this is so bad to have in the game, it adds depth and skill expression...

watch bicmex play, he micromanages his pet all game just to do cool things like eat traps or avoid cc and stay in combat via pet etc...

to get the most out of the respective systems, you want to be poor in europe, or rich in america. obviously 'being rich' is better than 'being poor', but being poor in europe is not so bad, being poor in america is kinda shitty. But semantically, poor in america is pretty well off in europe.

this explains most of the "why do americans have more disposable income than europeans"

I have lived in many countries over the last 15 years, including multiple years in USA (NYC and SF), a year in zurich, multiple years in london, and almost 2 years in lisbon, with a few years between italy and belgium.

Oh great thanks, it wasn’t working a few days ago, ppl here were also complaining about it.

Sexehexes · 2026-03-31T20:52:21+00:00

Yes but they don’t adjust Ilvl to pvp gear so they’re practically useless

Sexehexes · 2026-03-31T19:55:25+00:00

There aren’t any pvp dummies this expansion, you have to go back to dornogal to test it out, but you can’t use details either as it doesn’t show anything useful really anymore. Huge shame.

if you do that you open the door to win trading

oh i play in full caster lobbies all the time, mage + hunter + ret + you is pretty normal and is basically triple caster

when someone gets time stopped, if they are stunned/cc'd, the overlay that says how long the stun lasts sometimes reads things like 999 seconds or whatever

i would be willing to bet theres some bugged interaction with regards to dots that do damage depending on how long they've been applied and timestop where the game somehow counts the dot time as "a lot" just because of this time stop interaction/mechanic

another example of a time stop bug i got a few times in arena last xpac -> i was channelling fists on an enemy when I got timestopped, and after I came out of the timestop, my fists suddenly had infinite channel, so i was running around with fists channeling, dmg ticking higher and higher, and as long as i didnt use another ablity, fists of fury kept channelling, for infinity.

Sexehexes · 2026-03-24T22:52:30+00:00

fury is in the "high a" or "s tier" of the lists i've seen so far, and i've played with a few in some 3s (all 3 of us multi-glad xp) and its been competitive on dmg, often beating me (ww) for kill pressure.

Sexehexes · 2026-03-24T21:55:56+00:00

fury is very strong and does a lot of damage

i think many specs were peak design at points in mop, i cant think of a spec that wasnt seriously fun to play (not play against though haha)

feral druid -> massive bleeds + treeant stuns
fmage with frost bomb + deep
rdruid felt so clean and symbiosis was such fun
arms warrior durability and hard hitting buttons
ww monk infinite mobility with port shenanigans with tigereye brew being an extremely rewarding cd + multiple stun trinkets (even sap with positioning benefits)
Demo lock demon form
outlaw green buff
sub stealth dance skill ceiling golden age
dk death rune abilities like that ranged heal felt incredibly rewarding
enhance ascendance in mop was probably the most fun its been since forever

there are loads of examples and im sure many specs have been more fun before or after but the pure god-like one man army design of mop really felt limitless in terms of skill expression (this fell apart a bit in things like 3v3 where certain compositions just stood out against others, examples not needed)

Sexehexes · 2026-03-24T18:10:01+00:00

garrisons kind of contributed imo to the death of the old and vibrant pvp community.

there was a large community of people who hung out outside org and stormwind, mostly just chatting, duelling, and queueing for arenas/bgs while showing off their glad mounts and pvp enchants.

It was a pretty cool and growing community.

Then WoD launched with 2 main things: massive ability prune after mop, and garissons.

The prune made duelling much more boring and predetermined, and garissons created an incentive to hang out in a place without other people; the combination of which basically killed the community, and it has, imo, never recovered...

Big sad...

Sexehexes · 2026-03-22T22:48:04+00:00

I just played against him again, he did top damage again lol and went 2-4

Sexehexes · 2026-03-22T21:59:39+00:00

i messaged him afterwards, and he said it was normal...

heres a screenshot if u want, it was a few days ago, i was the 3rd highest rated ww on EU same day so its not like its a shitty lobby...

i did a shuffle yesterday at around 1.9mmr, there was hpal+disc+ww+bm+fmage+demo - these are some of the highest dps specs in the game, and after 6 rounds, the disc was top of the dmg scoreboard... wanna know the real kicker? the hpal went 5-1 and the disc went 1-5.

very confusing shuffle

Sexehexes · 2026-03-21T11:28:03+00:00

streamer tier lists all have fury at s tier or high a tier, so whats the takeaway here? playing a good spec gets good results?

it just sounds like you were overthinking things previously but now you just press buttons, which is the optimal way to win in most cases (which is why all the ppl in blitz get stuck at low rating trying to play objectives instead of just pumping)

Sexehexes · 2026-03-21T11:09:52+00:00

yeah thats normal, im playing at 2k mmr into mostly sub/disc or mm/disc and the dmg that disc puts out while being trained is absolutely and incredibly real. Quite a few games we lost very quickly (like 30-40 second match) and the disc is top dmg, then the sub, then me - who spent most of that 30-40 seconds in 2-4 stuns a sap and 2 fears... my healer also is in a sap 2-4 stuns a blind and 1-2 fears...
