I love to see people whining about not being able to one-shot any more and justifying that with "skill" and "if you don't like it, stay off world PVP areas". No, no, no, my dears - now you have to actually play your class as opposed to dropping from stealth in the middle of a pack of unsuspecting players with shoulders / cape or one shotting a random dude with chains of ice. Everyone's full of 1337 nonsense till they actually have to play.
RIP WPVP :( :D
Very relieved about this, the amount of oneshotting of late has only increased no matter how good your gear is. It's only encouraged the amount of idiots who find the "easy kills" hilarious as they take no effort on their part.I'm not as physically able to pvp as I used to be, all I want is even a small chance to survive so up from non existent is great!
All those butthurt comments, it makes my day <3thanks for the changes...BUT I am a rogue and I think my shoulders would have needed to get nerfed in open pvp..they are still pretty strong, but I guess the 40% minus to all dps and heal speccs will balance that..at least a little. Good changes.
./shrug -- don't do world pvp if you don't want to PvP... pretty simple fix. You're not required to do those world quests, you're choosing to. Either adapt and find another way to get it done (i.e. win the fight or swap to a spec you don't necessarily like) or don't get it done. Honestly, people complaining that they have to swap to tank spec to do world pvp for those FFA's.... think of it this way: Tanks have to swap to your spec to be competitive in the arena. Welcome to their world.
Good to see that they want to change something about world PVP even now.
It takes 8 hours for those adjustments?
they have reduced 1 second a few patches ago. They shouldn't reduce more =)
a 6 hr maintenance for this? pick up the pace Blizzard
This is a welcome change, but if nerfing a few items is what they meant when they talked about fixing WPvP for BfA, then it's disappointing.Aside from the effects of most other legendaries which are left untouched, WPvP has been broken since the introduction and balancing around PvP templates.Best things they could do are either activate PvP templates in WPvP or revert the entire PvP balancing around iLvl scaling as it was previously (and after that probably disable/nerf legendaries).
