Game Altering Item (Remove or Nerf Heavily)

Hello all my name is Thotfc!

Im writing this forum post to make a complaint about something that is currently insanely overpowered within World of Warcraft and is runining everybodys gaming experience. Before i do that let me give you a little bit of a backstory to how I got to where I am today.

The First time I ever saw somebody play World of Warcraft I was in Awe, I simply could not beleive how amazing of a game it was. It just so happened that, that person was my brother. He is the person that got me to play the game today, from it's role-playing mechanics within the game (that WoW has sadly lost over the years) to the communication that you could make within the game with others. The day that I knew that I was hooked to the game was when I was sitting on the green couch in my parents basement watching my older brother Tank Gruul's Lair and get Server First on Frostwolf, Alliance You could literally hear everybody shouting and screaming within his headset the people within that Ventrillo at the time were Ecstatic. Soon after this i started playing the game, I was kind of a watcher so I never really got into the Endgame stuff and since I was a very young child at the time i could never make it past level 30.

There was one day that I was sitting in Stormwind Keep by the old battlemaster's that where you would go to que up for a BG (Battle-Ground) and I saw a Twink 19 Rogue name Skotoe, All I knew at the time was that he was wearing all blue gear and his gear was enchanted with Endgame enchants, I Freaked out and asked him what he was doing and he said that he was Twinking. From there on since I have been twinking for god who knows how long 9-12 years, My memories escape me, my condolonces.

Since then I have made multiple toons and I have found my home bracket within the 29 Bracket mainly carrying flags in warsong gulch waiting 20-30 mins for a Mediocore games at most (75% of the time) to pop so that I can relive the old days of what was once great. I have since been attracted to making a new character within a different bracket, and that bracket is the 40-49 bracket. I recently got fully twinked out (Meaning Best in slot) on this character and I decided to go into a battle ground and that so happens to be warsong gulch, So me and my premade of friends go in there and at 4 Stacks I got Mind Controlled off of Top of Tunnel and i get hit for a whopping 75% of my Health pool and then I am finished off with same thing that just did 75% of my HP.

Heres the clip of that happening:

Your probably wondering; "How is this possible to do with the Press of one button, Literally nothing happened to me and i got hit for 4000 HP" Heres your answer
https://www.wowhead.com/item=13515/ramsteins-lightning-bolts

You are able to get this item at level 39 and up it has a 3 Minute cooldown and it completely ruins the "Competitive" atmosphere that is within Pugs and any kind of world PvP. There is literally level 70s running around with this thing, If i wanted to get one-shotted by something I'le go to Zuldazarr and have a level 120 Mob hit me.

The reason why I am posting this on Blizzard Forums and Xpoff.com is because we recently had massive traffic on this website with a Big Streamer and I want Blizzard to see this. Also you guys recently nerfed Sulthraze which was great that is another huge item that is just as bad Rammsteins Lightning bolts. One of our members found this in your patch notes;

  • Sul'thraze Your melee attacks have a chance to lash the enemy with the rage of Sul'thraze, lowering the target's damage by 2,823, dealing 9,055 Shadow damage, and another 9,030 ***[54, dealing 175 Shadow damage, and another 175 damage over 15 sec.]*** Approximately 1.69 procs per minute.
8.1 patch notes, spell changes.
*** new changes.

and with you guys doing stuff about twink items for the first time in a long time I would like to bring one of the biggest items that you guys missed to your attention.

I hope this gets to the team at blizzard and they take notice to this because this should not be happening at all, This item should be nerfed into the ground and never used again.

Sincerely, Thotfc

Looking this over it could of been just a aimed shot but nonetheless The trinket itself is still insane and something needs to be done about it.

Does this mean I should jump on my 60 and oneshot bads every 3 minutes? Noted.
 
I agree on nerf.
That storytime... Hmm. Line of thought not productive.

But dont worry man. Blizzard seems like they started balancing low brackets more than ever before (Sulthraze, Furbolg med. pouch, PVP power and resilience...). I think Rams is next, but I hope they will keep it viable, coz people got it after 80+ runs from what I´ve heard :D.
 
Twinks asking for item nerfs gotta love 2018

80 runs was definately an exaggeration
 
the first time i duelled a 49 twink on my 20 he used ramsteins on me instantly after keyboard turning & backpeddling up against a wall as the 3, 2, 1 counted down

That's pretty much how it goes at 49

sorry/notsorry about the mind control

but your right. It gets ridiculous when both sides are poppin Ramsteins off like candy
All g mate I come from 29s so Im not used to all that stuff. This was like my 2nd warsong I ever did on my 49

Eh, I would say though that they probably nerfed PvP power/resilience so fast because PvP power was literally BiS at max level of 110, and since the weapon was a % increase it would have likely been viable at 120. I imagine resilience was simple nerfed as a aftermath of PvP power since they kinda go together.

i may be lucky .. my 49 disc got it on the 1st run .. and my 49 shaman got it on the 1st run too .. i didnt know it was NOT suppose to drop that easily lolol
