I have not been online since 5.4 patch day I think, and won't be for some time.
But have there been any changes/fixes yet? Or is F2P an arena bracket now?
Ty in advance

it's not much better on a p2p mate. rogues and hunters will blow you up w/e happens, it just takes them a little longer if you have enchants...

the resi buff for 90s has made endgame better IMO though.

They said enchants were going to scale appropriately for the wearer, so they have alot of work to do.
 
If you really want a balanced bracket, i suggest you all to wait for 6.0 + . This expansion is fucked up right now, and i doubt they will do anything to fix it ( from a F2P perspective ).
 
I'd say f2p WoW is just as bad/good as it ever was. There's no point in waiting for the perfect patch to jump in, however, as that will never happen, but there's plenty of free fun to be had as long as you don't mind playing an imperfect game.

Concerning F2P Arena bracket, i played already a good amount of arenas in 5.4. As far as i and also other sees it, the battle fatigue increase ruined healing too much. Back in 5.2 you needed CC Chains and wise use of racials to kill something in a 3v3 Match. Now in 5.4 you just need to tunnel something and it will die (YOLO Mode). Hpally is the only really viable healer, since he has armor, bubble, hoj and dispell. Restodruids get globaled by warriors with arcane torrent (200 Swiftmends, qq), i dont even have to mention Discpriest or RShamans, they just totally take the D.

However im kinda disappointed, i thought when bgs are crappy atleast you can have some nice games in arenas.
I dont want to say arenas arent fun anymore, but Blizzard went much too far with the healing debuffs + dps buffs some classes got. There is still hope, they will fix something, so lets just pray ;)

that's sad..
Yea I did two games in 5.4 but rlly didn't see the fun I'm rogues and hunters outdps'ing my heals.. throw a MS debuff in there and healers are a waste of space it seemed..
Also I'm not waiting for the perfect patch to start, I'm looking for any and all excuses to not use all my gold on updating my 19s.. been playing this bracket awhile now :)
Rlly enjoyed 5.3..

from what i've heard of 19s, there's not a great deal of difference. you either play one of the top 3 class/specs, or you're being steamrolled by those who are.

so IMO you gotta choose between insta to 5min Q's, or watch your toenails grow.... i mean 19s.

I don't think 19's the same with how healing/dps is, I mean DPS got quite a bit of buff in this patch whereas battle fatigue got increased even further, but the sick amount of haste/crit/sp/etc from enchants for healers make them still strong enough in bgs. I've enjoyed the healing so far, so much more fun than in 5.3 imo :)

But enough of the off-topic, I tried some rdruid in this patch, I think you really have to spec displacer to not get literally 2-shot by rogues (p2p or f2p). Hunters aren't as annoying as before IMO, because in 5.3 you would just have focus 24/7 and could spam all your abilities without focus starving. Now you have 1 serpent, 3 arcanes and then have to wait for focus to burst again. With 20 arcane shot cost you could just spam it nearly all the time... Now you have to think a bit more how to use your focus imo.

Heals are pretty nerfed but it makes it more fun imo, especially when the mana regen is what it is. Feels more like cata to me atm for healers, and tbh 5.0 -> 5.3 healing has been preeeetty boring because of the huge healing output + mana, so it's funnier to play a healer right now than it was before in MoP. Maybe that's just me and every MoP rdruid will go rogue now :p? The same as with protwarrs in 5.2, hunters in 5.3, rdruids/hpalas in 5.0, 5.1?

P2Ps are too strong atm, gotta be really cautious when you know you're facing them. Especially the decent ones, or the ones that are capable of 1-shotting (which should be most of them with half a brain and gear) D:
 
Some pretty significant changes hotfixed in recently, here's the stuff relevant to F2P:


Druid

  • Rip damage has been increased by 20%.

Hunter


Mage

  • Waterbolt's damage has been increased by 10%.

Priest


Rogue


Shaman


Warlock

  • Immolate damage has been increased by 30%.

Warrior

Best patch to me was 5.2 despite the OP shield slam, the hit bug, and the fact that non heirloom gear didn't scale up (which was all fixed in 5.3 and would have been perfect if nothing else changed)! But it was still way better than the situation now. With 5.3 having 2 different base resiliences depending on your level but leaving battle fatigue the same all around was a bad idea, especially with the hunter buffs. 5.4 basically magnified 5.3's problems for us, with the addition of the high level enchants on P2P problem. By the way, as someone mentioned last page, hunters just got another 10% explosive shot buff in a hotfix yesterday.
