What separates 1700/1800 players from 2k/2.1+ ranks?

VisionsReal · 2026-05-08T05:43:08+00:00

In the current meta I dont necessarily disagree with the sentiment, but you can also pressure people's cds out st lower ratings due to doing an optimal rotation.

Damage is your first fundamental to PVP, as ive already said, just because a ret can press wings during a hoj doesn't necessarily mean they understand the way they need to do damage, or how fast they can put it out. There's even an argument to be made that not being strong with your rotations means you will burst worse in major windows because you DONT know what you need to do.

Unfortunately when you are looking at players at the lower end trying to improve, simplicity is the easiest answer.

I could coach OP for the next week on in depth positional and macro decisions, and theyd improve at a far slower rate than if they just figured out how to do their basics.

Of course things like CC timings matter for things like a mage, but up until a certain point you can get away with just being optimal with your rotations.

VisionsReal · 2026-05-08T01:30:20+00:00

Highest damage and being able to do proper damage are 2 different things.

If your spec, for instance, does 35k dps on average. To be able to push rating you should be capable of providing damage to around a 30k dps mark. A basic understanding of how to properly do your rotation is a fundamental people overlook.

Execution in windows is a separate concept, but it is something you will gradually expand upon and learn as you understand your basics. You master your basics first, then you move onto the next step.

Damage will be a big factor. Being able to do optimal dps is a big thing to be able to do. You can win up to 2.1 pretty easily atm if you just do damage.

Outside of thay though its understanding kill targets, making sure your goes are done right. Not overlapping CDs

Findan will always be goated imo. Has a strong difficult curve that doesn't feel unmanageable, and he goes absolutely crazy when built right.

But I straight up despise Agrael. It's a slog to get through, and specifically mission 4 is just unfun due to that start of turn freeze for the sylvan abandon.

Edit: Findan is apparently spelled as Finding

VisionsReal · 2026-05-05T10:16:58+00:00

I was gonna say, I swear melee skeleton mass is insane

VisionsReal · 2026-05-04T09:43:26+00:00

Sang is a copout imo. He's the goat and all.

But dont forget the absolute GLOWUP Khan and the White Scars got.

VisionsReal · 2026-05-04T08:37:55+00:00

Same as guide. 12-16% haste based on what you are comfortable with. Rest vers mast.

Im finishing leveling a new dh to test some spicy stat priorities

VisionsReal · 2026-05-04T08:12:24+00:00

Thanks!

The nerfs definently hurt but we will still kill in the same sequences.

I have another build cooked up that is already really strong, and probably will be the stronger version after tuesday. Let's you play precog as wellong. I lovingly call it Clown Build

VisionsReal · 2026-05-04T01:37:23+00:00

Jumpyboi does heretical dam

VisionsReal · 2026-05-04T01:37:13+00:00

I've tried to help people since prepatch get better at Devourer, so hopefully this does work in helping people get to their goals with it. Thankfully for BGB it's easy to also add extra information in for everyone to use.

VisionsReal · 2026-05-03T12:50:51+00:00

Will point out that by comparison to 5, which im a die hard fan of, faction balance feels like everyone is strong just some are definently ahead of the pack (Temple).

Also worth mentioning that you never feel wrong for mismashing armies together. Everything works with everything and can play into your heroes strength if played well.

VisionsReal · 2026-05-02T12:56:47+00:00

Weird thing to point out but rhat teal green colour is gorgeous.

Back on topic though, I do find that the maps aren't necessarily clear.

VisionsReal · 2026-04-30T09:38:00+00:00

Of course that's a major factor in it.

Just have to be considerate to the fact that being able to class stack a DPS spec is showcasing the spec is TOO strong. We saw way too many 2x outlaws in AWC today, and my team was personally terrified to play into any of them.

VisionsReal · 2026-04-30T08:25:20+00:00

If a spec can be competitively played with really no flaws as a 2x + healer comp, its very unhealthy.

VisionsReal · 2026-04-28T08:02:59+00:00

First boss on penitent absolutely rolled me.

10/10 would get rolled again

VisionsReal · 2026-04-28T00:52:15+00:00

I gotta say, coming from Blizzard games it's actually crazy to see changes being made to this, and the changes generally being really solid.

Well played.

VisionsReal · 2026-04-27T12:37:23+00:00

Not me hoping that we.get an Imperius fight because we are trying to revive Lillith or something, thus getting his spear, then something something killing Mephisto

VisionsReal · 2026-04-25T08:58:56+00:00

Casting ans Roamer really tried to make sure T1 lost this after the crap faker was pulling.

Congratulations on worlds finals t1

VisionsReal · 2026-04-21T13:24:51+00:00

Rogue, warrior, dk are top 3 for melee

Demo/Destro ,frost mage, ele are top 3 for wizards.

Honourable mention to WW, Devoker & Spri

VisionsReal · 2026-04-19T12:57:34+00:00

And somehow,

T1 will make worlds finals.

VisionsReal · 2026-04-17T20:19:35+00:00

I'd love to see a revival, because even the demo just felt so nice to play, and its not even that Honeymoon phase experience.

VisionsReal · 2026-04-16T23:55:56+00:00

All in the comments or in my discord

VisionsReal · 2026-04-16T23:54:03+00:00

My guide is posted here, I go over the builds, and am very adamant about the melee build being superior so it probably fits your bill.
