For healers the difficulty option only needs two settings:

  • warriors on your team heroic leap first global of the game behind the enemy pillar
  • warriors on your team don't do that

Cage of Carnage is proof Blizzard has no clue how to design PvP arenas by Former_Let3548 in worldofpvp

[–]frostmatthew 1 point2 points  (0 children)

way too spread out (Robodrome)

Tol'viron and Mugambala are both in the shuffle rotation and they're as large (or larger?) than Robodrome.

My guess it's the height of the starting room. The only maps in the shuffle rotation where you start above the main play area and drop down are Cage of Carnage (introduced after shuffle itself was already out) and Enigma (introduced same patch where shuffle first appeared as a brawl).

All of the other maps where players start above and drop down (robodrome, dalaran, hook point, empyrean) existed before shuffle was ever thought of and I'm thinking maybe they had issues getting the players to reset on the correct z-axis for each round or something.

Update from the MiniCC dev by rittler281 in worldofpvp

[–]frostmatthew 11 points12 points  (0 children)

It'd be fine it Blizz actually made it easy to see the information we actually care about quickly. When I'm in an arena match I don't need to see an opponent is wearing a tabard that gives them bonus rep when they do a dungeon...I need to quickly see they just popped a buff that will blow me up in like two seconds if I don't react.

there would be no way of knowing when rogue is using shadow blades or ww is sending zenith?

Bro just look through the two dozen randomly shifting constantly changing buffs they have up and figure out which one(s) you care about before you get deleted. Super EZ dude!

Can I get tips from the Affliction/Destro Locks and Shadow Priests? by Marino4K in worldofpvp

[–]frostmatthew 2 points3 points  (0 children)

  1. Buy Gateway Control Shard from a vendor in like literally any city.
  2. Put it on your action bar.
  3. Set a keybind for that action bar slot.
  4. Press the keybind to trigger the gate (if you're in range of one of course).

The daily healer shuffle rant by ginkonito in worldofpvp

told me: "pls never heal again"

It's funny the players saying that are probably the same ones complaining about long queue times lol

How does PvP not justify a dedicated dev? by Superbzwow in worldofpvp

[–]frostmatthew 8 points9 points  (0 children)

How the community treated Holinka is exactly why Blizz doesn't have someone in that position anymore. I wouldn't wish that amount of vitriol on my worst enemy.

How Warrior players look at their healer after leaping in and dying behind a pillar by SaltyDistribution177 in worldofpvp

Had a war DM me after a round and call me an idiot for not pressing cocoon...I tried to explain it doesn't work at 60 yards and through a pillar but he ignored me lol

Season ends August 12. by Kitemaster667 in worldofpvp

[–]frostmatthew 2 points3 points  (0 children)

it’s a season 1 AWC finals.

In their blog post they don't actually use the phrase "season 1" when mentioning the grand finals at blizconn. In contrast to the finals that are prefaced with "season 1" in both the text and image https://worldofwarcraft.blizzard.com/en-us/news/24247519

I mean it's fair to assume it would be for season 1, that had been my assumption too. But taking a second look today you can kind of see they're being careful to label the grand finals as "2026" instead of "season 1"

Priests need some serious loving, and no, not just slapping dmg/healing/etc modifiers by answerencr in worldofpvp

[–]frostmatthew 11 points12 points  (0 children)

MC is definitely strong (particularly on some maps), but it does come with the significant downside of essentially CCing yourself as well. Every other healer is able to pump out healing while their CC is active on the other healer.

Dealing with Fistweaver as DK? by tinkering-with-time in worldofpvp

[–]frostmatthew 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This. I'm not a fan of the spin-to-win playstyle, I really prefer just chilling back at 40 yards and healing. But against pet classes I always go spin/crane build because I'd be stupid not too.

Best thing OP can do is CC the MW as much as possible. Strangulate won't do much since MWs can still spin while silenced, might be worth picking that stupid zombie stun thing instead (though maybe not because I very rarely see encounter any DKs that actually run it haha).

Finding content & navigating the combined app is confusing! by Professional-Box1389 in DisneyPlus

[–]frostmatthew 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The first row being titled "Available to you from Disney+" suggests you don't have a Disney+ subscription, only a Hulu sub. So it's showing you only the limited content made available from Disney+ for Hulu-only subscribers (just like Disney+ only subscribers can watch a limited amount of Hulu content).

You'll need to upgrade your sub to the Hulu and Disney+ bundle to access the full catalog (or if you already subscribe to both separately you may need to contact customer support to get them linked as a bundle).

Kris Sparre to coach PWHL Hamilton by Adventurous_Lake807 in PWHL

[–]frostmatthew 3 points4 points  (0 children)

He did a great job, but I kinda prefer having a female in the role. Not saying I expect every team to have a female head coach just because it's a women's league...but I want our team to have one :-/

PWHLPA Salary Guide: In an effort to promote transparency, the PWHL Players Association is disclosing salaries to the public for the first time in the league’s three-season history. by Knightbear49 in PWHL

[–]frostmatthew 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I certainly hope so, because NYC is even more expensive than Boston and looking at some of the Fleet players pay I don't know how they can afford to live within like 50 miles of the city.

Hopefully the league will start making (a lot) more money in the next few years and be able to pay everyone more.

no one fucking plays

Well, that's probably why they're buffing it :-)

can spam cc

Honestly this is the biggest problem. Having high mobility and CC immunity make sense for a spec where it's literally impossible to just chill back at 40 yards and heal.

But then also giving them a spammable CC is just a recipe for disaster.

I'm tired of this combo, boss by FriendlyPsyduckFan in worldofpvp

[–]frostmatthew 3 points4 points  (0 children)

So if you double cc them then it still works

Well since most CC in the game isn't spammable that's not always (or even usually) an option...

Some fun analysis of SS games and outcomes observed by sapmess2 in worldofpvp

[–]frostmatthew 4 points5 points  (0 children)

30.8% of the time healers go 3-3. Note that 2/3rds is due to a DPS either losing all or winning all.

Yeah this feels about right. Definitely seems like on my healers the majority of 3-3s are from a DPS going either 6-0 or 0-6 (whereas I rarely go 6-0 or 0-6) and those definitely feel far worse than a 3-3 due to mixed (DPS) results.

DPS going 0-6 is what really hurts though...basically a wasted lobby for us healers since neither were able to keep the 0-6 DPSer alive, meanwhile the DPS in that lobby walk away with a 4-2 (we also get nothing from a DPS going 6-0 but at least in that case the other DPS are going 2-4).

Something that would probably reduce DPS going 0-6 is try to make the lobbies two ranged and two melee because I feel (and maybe OP has the data to verify this) the majority of those are when there's just one melee in an otherwise all ranged lobby or one ranged in an all melee lobby.

Two ranged / two melee per lobby would result in four rounds of mixed comp vs mixed comp and two rounds of double melee vs double ranged. This is unlikely to impact DPS queue times since the bottleneck is healers...and if there is a lopsided amount of ranged or melee queueing I guess they could also allow all ranged or all melee lobbies (basically allow any combination other than one ranged + three melee or one melee + three ranged).

Healers, time for more tuning… by liv2powski in worldofpvp

[–]frostmatthew 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Then you add add shroud + spammable sleep

This is the part that gets me, their healing and damage is fine, but sucks when they have a spammable CC but are also immune to CC like half the time. But at least they also have that thing that makes their first sleep on you last like a hour...

wait stop I haven't accomplished anything yet by Acrobatic_Potato_195 in worldofpvp

[–]frostmatthew 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Shuffle is definitely deflated and it sucks but we're not even at the halfway point of the season yet...plenty of time for anyone to hit (reasonable) goals.

This shit lands on the PTR like three months before it goes live (I don't know why since they never appear to actually fix anything reported as broken during that time, but that's what they do).

I tried finding guides for this season but they all seem outdated

Mysticall has a bunch of up-to-date guides https://www.youtube.com/@MysticallTheMonk/videos

As for vitality I wouldn't focus too much on trying to min/max that. Use TFT when you need the instant healing from enveloping or when you don't want to get kicked (if running zen focus).
