Focus on BGs, not arena

February 27th, 2009

I really find myself agreeing with a lot of what this guy has to say.

Arenas are a way for blizzard to avoid spending time and money programming for pvp.

Arenas run on class imbalances.

The WOW PVP community to unite and demand from Blizzard that they shift their focus away from arenas where they will never be able to properly balance small matches fairly amongst all classes. Rather their focus should be on large battlegrounds where the sheer number people and diversity of classes will take the spotlight off of glaring class imbalances that prevent skilled players for being successful in PVP because they are playing a class that happens to be weak against certain other classes.

We should be fighting the other faction, always.

Anyway go post on that thread!


Easiest class / spec to pvp with?

January 24th, 2009

Interesting thread here on the easiest class for an unskilled player to pvp with. Suggestions include death knight, ret pally, and arcane mage. Personally, I think the melee classes require decent reaction time as you chase people around, face the right direction, etc. A mage or similar can stand there and push buttons until melee gets in their face or they get crowd controlled.

What is currently OP in PVP?

People who play rogues must be feeling lucky because they are still OP – hard to understand how a class is consistently given such good damage and survivability. Ret pallies get lots of complaints. Death Knights also. With all three the thing is good damage and good survivability. This thread complains about all 3.

Where’s the World PVP?

Here we have people crying for more World PVP in WoW. They should be reading this blog and especially this post.

Ready to quit wow?

Seems like a lot of people think Blizzard is taking their favorite class in the wrong direction. I saw it on the hunter forums but it is especially evident on the pally fourms. Check this thread out to see just how upset pally players are.
