Activity US Wise.

How is it? I wanted to roll a character in this bracket for some time now and I think nows better than never.

 

[greenyee]

Not worth it.

 

[Farconn]

Do it. Roll it on a populated realm though

 

[CIHC]

How are bgs, arenas and rbgs?

 

[Recid]

Shadowpriests are broken, unless you play one dont do it.

 

[Sixpence]

Dead on US, not worth it.

 

[Farconn]

Arenas pop except for 5s. Bg ques pop but there 8-20 mins. RBG pops only if you have someone else to que against. 2s arena = no skill at this lvl, but 3s is much more fun.

Alright, let's not beat around the bush; the bracket has it's balance issues, but so does every other bracket and when was the last time 70s was balanced anyway? Rogues in cataclysm could do 8k ambush crits in shadow dances and frost mages could global people just as much as prot paladins can today. The only issue that has arisen however, is these particular classes had stupid amounts of pressure but lacked a lot of defensives and could normally be globalled themselves. This isn't the case with mop fotms, they can do 10k+ heals of their own and some are instant casts! The base resilience means everyone has a huge amount more damage reduction than before, which makes resilience stacking classes really hard to take down and dispells are pretty much essential for the bracket or you ain't getting no where son (dem 13k shield absorbs). Now you can understand why every team has atleast one spriest, rsham or disc priest. If you can accept that there are new fotms then today is a perfect day for joining the 70 bracket. But to be fair, as more people are playing a variety of classes you will be able to see every class can do decent if played correctly. I've seen a rogue, Mage, hunter and even ele sham 2k + mmr, and I know of a prot warrior getting 2.2k this season playing with a spriest.

Could you wall of text more please.

On topic, there's several Fotms (resto/balance/shadow/protret) this expansion, so unless you're good, I'd suggest playing one of them.

Be more bitchy please. All information I gave is valuable if you want to know enough about the 70 bracket so please just piss off and go finger your nan's hairy beaver.

On topic yeah, fotms.

Rogue & Mage might have been OP in cata but at least they were kill-able, and the bracket was actually active.

So many people posting what I have already stated.

Ps. Plenty play 70 bracket.

Never said there wasn't. just given the fact that the last bg I went into had 5 resto druids stacking resilience, I'm going to assume they're the new "hardclass" instead of rogue/mage like in cata.
