5.2 Arena experiences

[Hozuka]

Well it's been some time into the season and I see that Battlegrounds & Arenas are getting more and more active. So the question is what are your Experiences with 5.2 so far?

why do rogues/disc que up and the rogue thinks its cool to open with all cds & cloak and global the healer then /laugh at you?

as a warlock cant even peel coz he cloaks

mop ruined the 80s pvp bracket... cata was very very bursty, but even the cata burst was a joke compared to the mop gameplay, its horrible

Tried some arenas at 80, being globalled with max resilience is fun.

MoP items need to go, from both 80 and 85.

 

[Bloodskillz]

yeah in the 85 bracket you have to play rogue/disc to kill everything

Rogues are so hard to play, (get BiS open with everything and ur a pro l33t king)

Blizzard won't remove MoP items because they are "never wrong" so they wouldn't reply to a thread admitting to there mistakes with these items

the only way to actually have MoP items removed is if if it interfeared with max level content

(Eg if prot pallys soloed Vault bosses on the first day of its release and not so far in)

 

[Splosion]

The simple reason for blizzard not admitting they're wrong is that they'd rather have QQ from the veteran 80s twinks like some of us here, than the thousands of new twinks or leveling chars that bought the gear and would then want their precious gold back.

Minority vs Majority in this case. Hence why I only do level 80 arena on the tournament realm now.

Weird, no one spoke about how great resto druids are at lvl 85.

 

[Hozuka]

Resto druids are strong at 85 especially with a rogue

 

[Hapsen]

rogue games arrent fun, spam out all cd's for a (what seems random) chance to have both living after the first 25 sec's and then having nothing to get the kill..
i still havent figured out how i win so often against rogue teams yet.

EDIT: just remembered: my disc solo'd a druid while he had wood on while i was knocked off and cc'd in southern burma.

Found myself better off with a lock but ye.

On my warrior, who is fully geared, the only, only way I can survive a rogue's burst is to go in with shield, pop shield wall, disarm, stun, everything I can to survive the burst. When their burst is over they're easily killed tho. Even with my Sun-Lute, warriors don't dish out that much damage tbh, but they're very viable which makes them fun to play

 

[Vehemity]

85 isn't nearly as bursty and bad as 80 is. Just don't expect to slap on a full 415 set and pew pew.

 

[Hozuka]

Warriors 5.1 was incredible fun especially because of all the control they had.

 

[Hapsen]

Warriors 5.1 was incredible fun especially because of all the control they had.

they got +20 sec sd on shockwave and dr on warbringer stun (but as 85 you shuldnt be using that anyways)
its not really big losses when looking at control on warr's, what hurt 85 warr's most was the def stance nearf imo.
