Sorry for the slow update, haven’t been able to play due to school and work. Unable to raid 25-man instances isn’t helping either, disconnecting on every fight isn’t fun at all. And Blizzard doesn’t seem to be working on the problem…

I have taken a more relaxed playstyle to WoW. Considering the new changes has completely changed the game again. PvP/ Arena is somewhat unbalanced. It is nice that Retribution Paladins are now a viable class in PvP though.
Note I’m talking mostly on 2v2 and 3v3 arena.

BC Arena relied heavily on Resilence and Control mechanics such as stuns and slows. That’s where you got the Warlock DoTing you until you’re full of polka dots, Hunters/Mages kiting like you never learned how to walk and Rogues having their swords/maces deep in your arse they’re playing you like a puppet. BC Arena was a game of outlasting, outthinking and of course, outgearing.

WotLK Arena however, is a totally different story. In BC Arena you had a chance if you think right and things went your way. CC the DPS, DPS the Heal or DPS the DPS, CC the Heal that sort of thing.

WotLK arena, it’s down to who’s the most burst potential.

Arena Doors open.

Team 1 (A and B) sees Team 2(X and Y)

*SMASH!*
*SMACK!*
*BOOM!*

Either Team 1 picks off the remaining X(or Y) or Team 2 does the picking off. All over in less than half a minute.

I’m not whining bout losing alot or winning alot. In fact I stopped Arena after the first week I started Arena. I’m not a 3000 rated Gladiator ranting about how easy Arena is.

I’m emphasizing how PvP got completely overhauled in one night. Warlocks went from deadly PvP class to obsolete(Not that I’m crying over it), Druids went down the pecking order(F**KING HURRAY!).

I missed how I outthinked and outplay oppositions in Battlegrounds(1v1 scenarios), I missed how I thrashed players who thought Retribution paladins were easy kills, I missed how forming unconventional arena teams and still doing decently. PvP was a game of strategy, thinking fast in combat.

Now, it’s like d*ckslapping one another and the biggest one wins…

At least I’m bloody knocking down Healers in PvP now, not that bad, right?
Right?
