What's the most fun PvP class? Fun can include least downtime / least stationary play (fuck sitting around spamming frostbolt, but frost has its ups as well, I suppose), most damage, best at BG objectives like flag carrying, etc.

That's just rotations drawn out. You can do that with any shitty mmo with more than 3 abilities. You can do that for fucking Diablo 3 with its 7 abilities per character limit.

If you post the priority order that looks like 10-20 abilities, mostly the same 5-10, over and over. Which is exactly what WoW does.

FFXIV is a wow clone. It's from the last era of wow clones. It did not one single thing new. It copied the old, outdated quest system, class system, combat, etc. The newest feature in FFXIV was GW2-style meta events in zones.

I know there's not really another option, but I basically always have a target that's more important than spamming a group with low DPS per character. There's still the ordinary class requirement to CC targets and silence.

No one said anything about chart topping. You were specific on appearance. You said both current shaman races for Alliance are ugly and that Worgen should be considered as an option for the class.

You are insinuating that Worgens are not ugly, and certainly not uglier than Dwarves and Draenei. And yes, Im aware they have an out of form model, but that hardly matters now does it?

Leads me to believe that your decision is based on being the filthy furry faggot you are.

I don't give a fuck about the lore anymore. That went out the window a long time ago. Not only can I NOT go maximum edgemaster and be an Undead Demon Hunter for kicks, but Demon Hunters are yet another fucking leather agi class that nobody wanted. Dark Ranger would've been way cooler, and would've filled a niche that's sorely lacking. It would've been nice to get another class that can use mail (and maybe another spec that can use fucking caster mail) but now there are only TWO specs in the game that use fucking ranged weapons since for some godforsaken reason they decided to give Hunters a melee spec and Dark Ranger could've gone a long way to justify ranged weapons existing at all but hey what the fuck do I know, I don't even play the game anymore thank christ.

i'd say it makes all the difference when both dwarves and draenei received model updates at the start of WoD, with worgen still having the same models from the beginning of Cataclysm

not only that, even with the two races having received model updates, they still look objectively uglier in any class armor set than worgen, excluding maybe female draenei

legion has changed MM spec quite a bit. I've been playing around with it for a few days now, and I'm enjoying it a lot.

I'm convinced the pruning complaints and lack of buttons to press will change once people hit 110, unlock their pvp shit and max out their artifact weapon.

also, I've noticed many defensive abilities were removed from each spec. this is probably their way of reducing how many escapes and second lives we have in pvp.

If every class has CC, it's still not going to be as nice as it could. Trying to get away from even a single class is pretty impossible against some specs. Hunters get a 50% slow for 6s on a 5s CD. Where's the tuning philosophy that says stuff that goes on CD isn't supposed to always be up?

Horde races had absolutely overpowered PvE racials (%health, attack/cast speed increase, AD/Spellpower increase), Blizzard never wanted to admit that though. Even for PvP they refused to accept it despite most players being Human.

Do you work for Blizzard? There's no fucking denying that Horde had ridiculously good PvE auras that aided in fights a lot. They were literally extra DPS cooldowns.

iLvl has existed ALWAYS. At the beginning it was just hidden until some poster figured that shit out and Blizzard decided to make it shown instead of hidden.

Also, Catch up gear is never as good as the raiding gear. It can be better than the gear 2 tiers ago but usually it stucks a bit behind gear from last tier. Not to mention it doesn't offer tier set bonuses or the trinkets aren't as good.

Problem is they always tie the world PVP content to some bullshit objective grind.

After BC stat scaling became stupid, there was no way a fresh level 70 could even scratch a half geared 70, and that only got worse over time.

Not going to defend vanilla's BS like rogue stunlock (Which wasn't that OP if you fought rogues in a group as rogues were squishy as fuck)

But the fact that a group of level capped players have no chance in hell to even touch a remotely geared player solo is fucking stupid.
>>
>>338183223
He's saying since stats were more varied, you'd have a lot of instances where gear that was lower ilvl from a previous tier would be BiS even though better ilvl gear existed. The quality of your gear was based on your stats rather than ilvl.

>>338183223
In vanilla doing harder content gave you access to new tier sets and fancy gear

now the easy content and the hard content is in the same raid with the same gear only seperated by ilvl.

There were oneshots in every era of World of Warcraft until mid-MoP.

This has nothing to do with class balance. If you want to be as powerful as someone else, put in the same time/effort as they did or go play cs:go.

Not sure if it was actually endless. If it was, it sounds like a fair tradeoff for your spammable CC not having any DR.

The part I didn't enjoy about vanilla was that a lot of specs were meaningless. Talk shit all you want about current WoW, but at least almost every spec is viable.

How the fuck does it make sense that in order to get good at PvP you need to do ----PvE---- for months to get gear for PvP?

>Not sure if it was actually endless. If it was, it sounds like a fair tradeoff for your spammable CC not having any DR.
You could literally never be able to pull off a single spell because the pushback never ended, that's why it got capped.

Yes they were. You had Frost Bomb one shots, Chaos Wave one shots, Taste for Blood one shots, and Stampede one shots. Four different classes could 100-0 you instantly in early MoP, regardless of gear.

>How the fuck does it make sense that in order to get good at PvP you need to do ----PvE---- for months to get gear for PvP?
It makes perfect sense. Gear gives you power, the most powerful gear comes from raids. It makes as much sense as doing professions being mandatory for PvE. It's just how the game should work.

>You could literally never be able to pull off a single spell because the pushback never ended, that's why it got capped.
Most classes had instant spells that could give you an opportunity to cast a spell. Mages could Frost Nova, Warlocks had Seduce, Priests had Psychic Scream, Druids had Nature's Grasp. You're crying about this shit when you have plenty of options to deal with it available to you. You come off as a crybaby shitter.

>The whole PvP revolved around big clusterfuck messes like AV or World PvP
You had 1v1s, 100v100s, and everything inbetween. That's the nature of WPvP, it's spontaneous and unregulated. That's why it was fun, it felt real and organic.

And objectively, those that do the harder version ARE better. Your effort doesn't disappear just because someone killed the easy version of the boss.

I loved raiding a lot but in MoP I just couldn't bother with it and just had fun with my friends doing old content and leveling together (and occasionally LFR together, too).

But of course, you can't play for the sake of entertainment, can you?

>And objectively, those that do the harder version ARE better. Your effort doesn't disappear just because someone killed the easy version of the boss.
I should have worded it differently. People put in the effort to appear better than everyone else. LFR and welfare gear diminishes that gap between casual players and hardcore players, and that appearance is less worth pursuing because of it.

>But of course, you can't play for the sake of entertainment, can you?
Play however you want. You can have fun questing, exploring, doing dungeons, etc. If you don't personally have the time to raid, don't diminish the game for everyone else because you're entitled and selfish.

How? It's always miles behind the gear of Hardcore players.

Only people who put the effort into earning that right should have access to it.

Besides the one token boss in one raid, when do heroic/mythic raids have exclusive content in them?

>"NOBODY IS ALLOWED TO ENJOY THIS GAME BUT ME!" -The Totally Not Entitled Guy
nonargument. You can enjoy the game however you like. If you NEED to raid in order to enjoy the game but don't want to work towards that, tough luck.

>How? It's always miles behind the gear of Hardcore players
It's not just ilvl. It's the appearance of the gear, it's the rarity of the gear, it's seeing the actual content and killing the bosses. An arbitrary ilvl rating is all that separates players who are top tier and players who do content that you can literally afk through.

>Pot, kettle. You're showing nothing but selfishness and entitlement in your posts.
You: I want that without working for it!
Me: I want it to only go to those who can earn it.

One of those is clearly entitlement, the other is the exact opposite. hint: you're the entitled one.

One thing I wanna tag on. Developers spending their time creating the same fucking raid 4 different times along with its droptable surely contributes to these enormous content droughts we experience at the end of each expac. They're killing the game so that every dumb cunt on the retard spectrum is fairly represented and it's bullshit.

>>338187468
>Only people who put the effort into earning that right should have access to it.
Yes, and only people who put effort access normal/heroic/mythical shit.

LFR doesn't make that effort go away unless you're so self-obsessed insisting that only people like you can access any version at all because you're so fucking good.

>Besides the one token boss in one raid, when do heroic/mythic raids have exclusive content in them?
The tactics are a bit different, the colouring isn't the same, the bosses itself are harder.

> It's the appearance of the gear, it's the rarity of the gear, it's seeing the actual content and killing the bosses
Again, all of this apply. When you see Heroic or Mythical gear it's not the same as seeing LFR gear (granted, the whole gear look thing was diminished when transmog came around, but the mythical/heroic tag remains). Killing a boss in LFR is not the same as killing it in Mythical. Otherwise everyone would've cleared Mythical, no?

>One of those is clearly entitlement, the other is the exact opposite. hint: you're the entitled one.
No dude, you're literally insisting that nobody should enjoy specific content, despite being fucking easy version of it, because it diminishes YOUR enjoyment of the game. Why yours? Because you can't stroke your epeen as hard.

When that's all you care about in a game you're not even fucking enjoying it to begin with. You're just trying to prove you're hot shit in a fucking videogame.

Answer me this: Why do people even do harder difficulties if LFR is the same? Why do people still race for World First if they might as well go to LFR for the same experience?

>surely contributes to these enormous content droughts we experience at the end of each expac.

>Yes, and only people who put effort access normal/heroic/mythical shit.
Not just those respective difficulties, raiding in general. Seeing the raids, killing major villains in the lore, and getting good looking epic gear in general.

>you're so self-obsessed insisting that only people like you can access any version at all because you're so fucking good.
That's exactly what it is. It's human nature to want to be better than everyone else, you're just bitter about it because you're not a part of the haves, you're a have-not.

>The tactics are a bit different, the colouring isn't the same, the bosses itself are harder.
That's not exclusive content.

>When you see Heroic or Mythical gear it's not the same as seeing LFR gear
The disparity between LFR and Mythic gear is much smaller than the disparity between raiding gear and non-raiding gear was when only one difficulty existed.

>No dude, you're literally insisting that nobody should enjoy specific content, despite being fucking easy version of it, because it diminishes YOUR enjoyment of the game. Why yours? Because you can't stroke your epeen as hard.
You're not understanding the definition of entitlement. You want things and experiences handed to you where I want them to be hard-earned. I can draw a loose comparison to the real word to help you understand it.

Someone who wants social benefits and high taxes on the rich so that they don't have to work themselves is entitled because they want what other people have without working for it. The rich guy who doesn't want social programs and wants no taxation at all isn't entitled just because he wants to keep HIS money, he wants everything in the world to be as difficult to earn as it is for anyone who actually works for it. It's kind of a shit comparison I know, it's the best I could do.

I know. I've already told you that's what it is. You're acting like it's bad or something when it's basic human nature. Most people found the game enjoyable because they could be hot shit in a virtual world or make an attempt at being hot shit in a virtual world. You're upset at the idea because you're not hot shit, just shit.

>Answer me this: Why do people even do harder difficulties if LFR is the same? Why do people still race for World First if they might as well go to LFR for the same experience?
They care enough to take the effort. Most people who raided in the past don't go beyond LFR anymore purely because the route exists. Very few people go through the trouble to do Mythic anymore.

>How about no. The droughts have always been there at the end of expac. WotLK was one of the biggest and worst droughts.
WotLK was the expansion they started doing multiple versions of the same raid. They also spaced shit out poorly in Wrath which contributed to that.

Not him but I fucking hate this "only the elite got to see content" bullshit that keeps getting flung around

We've been getting less and less content with each expansion, as everyone is being funneled into raids and daily quests and the PVP minigame everything else that makes the WORLD of warcraft an actual MMO world has been gutted and thrown to the side

If there was one thing vanilla had, it was fucking content, a lot of it, so much so that only 6% of the active playerbase in vanilla even TOUCHED raids, I know people don't think much of it now, but the 1-60 content was that, actual content, the fact that WOW had an end game where you could still improve and progress your character was only icing on the cake, now its all about the end game, and they removed all the progression, so please, stop using this god damn "no content for casuals" meme

>>338189995
> it was fucking content, a lot of it
No it didn't, senpai.

Count the actual raids: 7 Raids.
Count the BGs: 3
Count the instances: Somewhere around 13-15, at max level only 4 mattered.

>so much so that only 6% of the active playerbase in vanilla even TOUCHED raids,
Part of the reason is that leveling alone took good 100+ hours and assembling 40 man raids was pain in the ass, especially for guilds of single nationality. What makes it even worse was that many computers couldn't even handle that shit. Other than that the grind was insane during Vanilla, not the actual amount of content.

On the road to 60 you'd have times when there's literally nothing to do. Mainly 30-40 area where, despite many zones, there weren't enough quests to get you levels so you'd grind shit.

>We've been getting less and less content with each expansion
They essentially blew their fucking load in the first expansion the game got.
>>
>>338190672
And let's not forget that the further the raids got the more you had to grind in order to even get there. If you started the game too late odds are you never could make it there. (Especially if it was a newfound guild)

Leveling is literally not a thing with a single, simple payment. Its challenge is also completely fucked off by heirlooms.. AKA it's not tuned. Something so insignificant is core content? For trying to bash PvP, that's a pretty poor method.

>>338185729
>WoW is an MMORPG above a hyber-balanced arena PvP game.
There are roles to be played within a hyper balanced arena game. It's a niche. It can exist, just like any other sort of playstyle. This is a huge post-rationalization for the idea that PvE should be where everything comes from, and frankly PvE isn't that interesting, because it's instanced and non-dynamic.

>Unfairness should be inherent because there are varying levels of dedication and skill.
You're not basing this on actual reason and gameplay. It comes from the idea that the game is purely PvE, which is nonsense. Dedicated to PvE has nothing to do with dedication to raiding.

2 hours is the max time for a 5 man imo.

I don't know much about the lore, but wouldn't the Lich King try to make DK's out of any race he could get his hands on?

The only people who used catch up gear in TBC were people who weren't even going to progress past kara and gruul anyway.
>>
>>338192189
But I used catch up gear and I did everything up to SWP?
>>
>>338192086

Based on former lore of the Scourge, races like tauren and gnomes were more likely to be torn apart and used to make abominations. There is literally no reason to think those races, or any races other than humans, elves and dwarves (and maybe orcs,) would make skilled tacticians desired in death knights.

That and faggots like me who was stuck in that awful position of sharing a class token with the class we kept losing

Fuck priests in TBC, they were all guild hopping whores.

>So what's your take on older raids during later patches? Delete/lock so nobody else can enter them? "Sorry, should've dedicated yourself to raiding back then!" Right?
Keep older raids as they are.

>You mean TBC what with its catch up gear?
TBC's catchup gear wasn't close to what LFR gives casuals today.

It's clear we disagree on things, no real point in arguing it seems. We each have our own tastes and philosophies, I prefer MMOs like Vanilla/BC, you prefer MMOs like Cata/MoP/WoD.

Why? You do realise that people who don't put effort into raiding will now invade them and clear them. Doing the same thing you did with more effort. Literally the same deal as doing LFR, familio, just later.

>, I prefer MMOs like Vanilla/BC, you prefer MMOs like Cata/MoP/WoD.
Except that MoP was overall my favorite, but TBC was best in everything but fucking leveling and some class design (several classes had like 1 button to press to DPS).

In the end, they're still the same ass gear treadmills.
>>
>>338192419
Seems like tacticians would be all gnomes are good for.

Also, I didn't even play WoD and I most likely wouldn't care for it because I hate Player Owned Ports in RS, which is Garrisons lite (but came before Garrisons). Neither did I play Cataclysm.

I did them when they mattered. And without catchup mechanics, you'll have to put in just about as much effort as I did unless you wait until next expac.

That doesn't matter, they're STILL going to see the exact same content you're whining about. Even if they become slightly older, it's still the same content whether it "matters" or not. They're going to down that boss, get that loot etc.

Hey if it were up to me, all that content would stay relevant and required at least to some degree. Without catchup mechanics it'll only be slightly easier because someone in your raid will have gear for higher tiers and that's fine. Vanilla's tier system and lack of catchup mechanics was perfect imo.

How? You literally spent months to progress to the next tier rather than soon after clearing the last tier.

It's one of the biggest reasons why less and less people went through the next tier raids. Not the actual difficulty, but the grind involved.
>>
>>338190608
The whole problem wasn't complexity, just too much shit.. CC especially. There's still too much. The game doesn't get deeper just by making sure classes can disable other classes. There's no positioning or grouping metagame. It's just blobbing.

And of course I mean, provided the next tier had been released already.

Because you were still being challenged and always had new content to see?

The only difference between then and now is that you get to see new content when you beat a boss, where as now you get to get to do it all again, except with more ilvl grinding

Also when things take time and effort to get, then its actually worth a fuck, gear in WOD is so fucking pointless that I seriously think anyone who raids past LFR is mentally handicapped.

Repeating the same old content for months on end just to get to the next isn't new content.

It's just you being stuck on old content until your number values let you tackle the new content.

It's the same thing as, for example, being level 10 at which point you unlock a new place and until you hit level 30 by grinding that very same place, you don't get ANYTHING new. Nothing at all.

>gear in WOD is so fucking pointless that I seriously think anyone who raids past LFR is mentally handicapped.

>>338194869
badges are the only thing out of what you listed that were catchup mechanics. you could do just fine in SWP without them.

Read, please.

To get to that new content, you are stuck for months on the old content.

There's fuckall content but thanks to shit like that it takes so long time to get to so it looks like there's "much" of new content when there actually isn't.
>>
>>338195467

It made the game deep. It raised the skillcap to a near unattainable level. It allowed good players with great hand dexterity to shine above shitters like you. If you want shit tier affirmative action combat where even retards like you can compete, go play a FPS or a Death Knight/Hunter.
>>
>>338195580
Quests are "unique" even though they're shitty fetchquests or escort quests.

Grinding the same encounters for months is doing nothing but the same old shit.

The average player isn a neckbeard with infinite hours to play. and grinding tons of gear just for it to break would be like a borderline job. maybe this would of worked during the ever quest days but it would never work now. please stop posting your shitty idea in every wow thread
