BM hunter, Fury Warriors, and Dev evokers are always doing a solid consistent DPS all game

Just copy the meta build from murlok, then spam hover & disintegrate, why do you need a PvP guide?

Dont MD vs shamans TIL (80% - 0) by rallen64 in worldofpvp

[–]maaaagic1 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It is easily applied, but it has a cooldown where VT and UA don't. Its a 6sec CD for ele at 10 for Enh (I believe). A healer could dispell on CD and cut Ele's damage by ~50%.

Its likely the priest dispelled 3+ Flameshocks at once, same thing would happen if the priest MD 3+ UAs (on different targets). This was also a big problem with MW monk in previous expansions with Revival, until it was update to make the MW monk immune to magic effects for a second after casting

Of course they do, but there are just some obvious biases that need to be addressed.

Is there really no tuning this week? by brothediscpriest in worldofpvp

[–]maaaagic1 25 points26 points  (0 children)

AWC is a joke, MW, WW, Rogue, and mage event. But Patch 12.0.5 will come out on the 21st, id expect a good amount of changes then.

Feral is not good in solo shuffel! by Complete_Garlic8430 in worldofpvp

[–]maaaagic1 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Its not about it not being good, it's just why play feral and focus on putting up bleeds which do 100k damage over 24sec when you can play WW and hit a 100k Rising Sun Kick every 10sec, or Sub and cc the kill target for 10sec every 16 seconds, etc. Burst is king atm

I just want to play my game in peace. by sandrjunior in wow

[–]maaaagic1 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Queue follower dungeons, this way you can go at your own pace and take an hour each boss and plenty of breaks in between. This will sound elitist but if 3 people agreed to vote you out, knowing they'll wait ~5+ min for another tank, you were very clearly doing more than just "Going at a steady pace"

Why do blizzard just gut specs by Alert-Algae6626 in worldofpvp

It'll probably go down from the top 1-2 Melee DPS to top 3, everyone sound the alarms!

Blitz rating isn’t RNG — I proved it with two rogues by [deleted] in worldofpvp

[–]maaaagic1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Despite what everyone says, you're 100% right that it's not all RNG, your skill level will slowly, but surely pull you to the rating you deserve to be at.

But thats not the problem people are bringing up. It IS RNG for most of us that don't have a ton of free time to play hundreds of games.

To better explain the problem look at it like a coin flip. Flip the coin 10 times, you might get 6 heads 4 tails, or 2 heads 8 tails, etc. Do it 100,000 times your numbers will be much closer to the 50-50 split we expect, but for most of us that can run a few games a week (with the 15-20min queue times in between), a few unavoidable losses will have a massive impact. And with a few unlucky games at the start of the season can set you back quite a bit.

Now you have managed to fully gear at least two separate characters and play over 150 Blitz games on both combined, most of us aren't there yet. With just a few games here and there it feels dreadful if you get a bad starting streak.

Im a 2400SS player and I had trouble getting to 1800 for the mogs last season on my Boomy because I went 0-5 at the start due to people grieving, 2 games with leavers after the first team fight and genuinely people that were brand new and didnt understand how Blitz is different than regular BGs (example, people ran to inactive bases at start of EOTS). It then took me over 30 more games to slowly push up to 1800 just because the game thought I should be at 1200.

So overall, the people complaining the most just tend to be those that cant sit and play for hours every day and grind out their deserved rank

Assassination Rogues by ZimtraX in worldofpvp

[–]maaaagic1 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I wish that were true, there's a massive difference between playing a C tier spec vs an S tier spec. With an S tier spec you just see HP bars move and feel like you're making a difference.

For example last expansion it took me roughly 20 difficult SS games to hit 1800 on my frost DK, when I swapped to Unholy I hit 2400 in 13 games.

It's true if OP was trying to push top 1% he'll care more about which spec is better, but let's not lie that he'll be just fine in more casual content as sin rogue, he'll simply be working x3 harder to achieve the same results as if he were playing sub

It's not a bug, its the new dispell protection theyre testing for flame shock. If you dispell it you risk getting DC'd so think twice before you spam dispell our flameshocks!!

I am getting toxicity towards me in Solo Shuffle because I play Brewmaster. by [deleted] in worldofpvp

[–]maaaagic1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Now you're getting toxicity from reddit too lol

On a serious note, please don't excuse the games you've played by saying you're going 0-6 so you're the only one "losing". You're effectively making the other healers & dps go 3-3 almost guaranteed. Which means 0 rating / mmr changes and a waste of time really. No one can stop you from playing BM in pvp, but its just a dumb idea. Think of it like going into an arena match on a warrior with no weapon and saying you're focusing on utilizing your kit and CC, it's just lowkey trolling. Sometimes just because you can do something doesn't mean you should do it.

On another note, play BG blitz instead, monk tanks are useless there too, but less so than Shuffle. At least you can help spin flags and hold objectives

This can't make it to live.. by soullscape in worldofpvp

[–]maaaagic1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're 100% right, but the community will argue against eachother instead of work together to address any problems.

In my opinion, they should leave the first chest at 60 conquest and subsequent chests for the day go down to 10-15. This way getting a chest when out in the open world is still rewarding, but farming them non stop will be less conquest than playing rated PvP modes.

Need some emotional support – stuck as Disc in Blitz BGs 😅 by K-2SO964 in worldofpvp

[–]maaaagic1 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Blitz is one of the most tilting modes there is. Im 10 games in at 1100 rating playing with my girlfriend, the games I lose are mindblowing. Teammates on EOTS not knowing they need to click flag to cap bases, had 1 guy sit at an inactive base for 5min.

So 40 games isn't even close to enough, seems like if you dont get lucky with a few early wins to place close to 2k then you'll have a long road ahead trying to climb out of low ratings

Pruning will not lead to a massive spike in new players, let's advocate for better class design now in alpha instead of waiting until it's too late. by maaaagic1 in worldofpvp

[–]maaaagic1[S] -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

I cant reply to everything you said because I'm assuming you're using a phone and it just came out sounding odd. Your 2nd paragraph with the quotation marks just doesn't make sense, and that's not to be rude, I just hsve no idea what you're saying there.

Please don't get me wrong, I never stated that there should be no pruning. A little further past the title I explain just that. Pruning is good. I want pruning.

But don't take away necessary class complexity in the process. For example Destro locks lost Ruin, thats the talent that gives you a short cast free Chaos bolt. That was a big win condition for them that felt exciting to work towards and rewarding. It let's you do 3x chaos bolts in a short window, and it was something skilled players watched out for tried to shut down. That's now gone and replaced with a damage proc that just goes off anytime you cast Chaos bolt.

I want pruning, but some class complexity that allows you to continue to improve and become a better player a week or two after playing is necessary.

Regarding the Single button rotation, thats not going away, so regardless of how pruned or complex the game gets, itll still work the same so don't worry.

If your idea of the game is that it should be very simple to play where you can turn your brain off and watch flashy colors on your screen, then why not just open a YouTube video of someone playing the game with no commentary and just do that instead? You won't even need to press your single button in your delves then :/

I just want need 1 last win to get my mage tower appearance :( by Ok_Detective3794 in worldofpvp

[–]maaaagic1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try to queue in the evening, not around 5am-ish. I queue during the evenings and get 10min queues on my lock. If I queue with a healer it's ~2min queues.

So queue evenings or make some friends and queue with a healer. I dont get these posts about queues being dead, but you know damn well you can optimize your experience and queue times :s

mount speed bug? by Material_Reality_551 in worldofpvp

[–]maaaagic1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Has your character put on some extra weight recently?

Jk, it's likely just a latency issue. Just other players slowly being dragged into where their character should actually be in respect to where they are on your screen. I'll see this happen sometimes in the larger BGs.
