Was it ever ok to bubble during a duel?
Bubbling is a legitimate strategy.
Don't duel paladins if you don't want them to bubble.
pally will always bubble, for everything.
>>337853001
>okay
It's a duel who cares
yes
it was never okay that as a warrior even if you over geared the paladin you had a chance to lose anyway because fucking magic damage, and god forbid they were a shockadin
>>337853001
Yes but popping recklessness is cheap.
>>337853001
xth for judgement spam
>>337853993
you can make an exhaustive list of what cds and pots are cheap to use in a duel that nobody will agree on or you can stfu and duel
>>337853001
Bubble was acceptable, Lay on Hands wasn't.
>>337853001
Of course, Paladins main schtic was to outlast their opponent with healing and durability.
Although Lay on hands' use is questionable since it comes with a hefty cooldown and its pretty much a cheap dick-move if used. Unless the opponent pulled a similar move himself.
you're allowed to use whatever you have to win the duel
if it's in the game, it's allowed
>>337853001
>tfw prot paladin
>watching retarded Rogue gankers kill themselves on me
>>337854276
>pots in a duel
Now that's just retarded.
>>337853001
when they popped both trinkets and either stunlocked u or trapped/feared u and blew on CD's to flex that epeenis in your face.
...yes, yes it was.
>>337854413
>pull out every single potion, engineering tool and long CD skill during a duel
That's a swift way of never getting dueled ever again.
>that warrior who popped retaliation in a duel
>>337853001
>losing duel
>bubble+hearth
UNDEFEATED MOTHERFUCKER!
>>337854767
This guy knows what's up.
If you didn't die/lose 99.99% of all your health it didn't count.
>>337854607
>>337854729
>gg no re
>>337854543
If they really want to win, they'll spend it. However much you're willing to spend to win is a relative concept.
>>337854570
>popped both trinkets
you could never do this
>>337853001
No and neither is using Lay on Hands
>>337854607
Then they're a salty motherfucker and either they step up or you move on to enemies worth your time
>duel an engineer
>he uses tools
>be alchemist
>use pot
>he just stands there typing
>beat him as he's typing
>"you forfeit the duel because you potted you cheater!"
If people are using their tradeskills in a duel, I'll use mine
>>337854543
There is winning, and there is losing.
"Honor" is bullshit for people who want to justify losing, so they impose arbitrary limitations on themselves. If you're not going to practice like the real thing, be prepared to die "with honor" to the guy who did.
>mfw drinking paladin tears
>bubble
>opponent pops their defensive cooldown so I do fuck all damage anyway
Yeah I'd say its ok.
>>337853001
Paladin sucks anyway
DS Only helps him support for a bit more before he gets shot down
>>337854607
What is this some kind of imaginary dueler's code? I have not dueled more than 10 times in the years I've played the game. But I have been challenged over 100 times, just from running into Orgrimmar. I WAS NEVER ASKED TO DUEL. They just click, click, click. Like hell they're going to blacklist me if I use engineering shit or whatever. These people don't give a damn.
>>337855217
Especially after they turned it into a glyph
Nobody expects the Shattering Throw
>played warrior in vanilla
>rogues literally refused to duel me
why tho
>DPS gets himself killed right as fight ends because he can't position
>"HEY DRUID, RESURRECT ME"
>>337855253
Oh fuck I'm retarded I thought this was for WCIII
Never had a Paladin not bubble so I just took it for granted
>>337855405
Warrior was bullshit in vanilla
>>337855017
how quick do we forget..
shattering throw and mass dispel
unless they dumbed down the game more since I played and removed these spells
>>337855094
>impose arbitrary rules
You mean impose arbitrary rules that benifet themselves and limit the other player. Unless it gets you banne dthen you use everything in your power to win.
>>337855405
because unless you're combat rogues are a class designed around killing casters
combat was really viable to kill warriors or DKs as in wrath though
>>337855501
>WotLK babby
>>337855501
Shitter Shatterer is a glyph now, which is okay because you only really need two in warrior
>>337855405
Plate armor and overpower.
>>337855094
so is it ok to bubble in a real life duel?
>>337853001
>me playing wow first time in tbc
>leveling through hellfire
>let's try kill that ally paladon because why not
>almost killed him
>uses bubble and hearthstones out
>tfw
it's so nice being noob
>tfw cant be noob again
>tfw bubble+hs combo not possible for long time anymore
>>337855621
paladins were a joke pre-wotlk so who cares
>>337853001
as a ret paladin i didn't pop any cooldowns longer than 2m unless my opponent did, because muh honorable duels.
i won most of my duels
>>337854543
I had a friend who use to make free action and live action potions pots just for dueling
>>337855701
Is there a referee? Will i be dq'ed if i use it? If not then yes.
>>337855405
most rogues were retards who only knew how to mash 2 buttons. Killing warriors was impossible for them.
>>337855763
Meanwhile when I played Rogue in duels I used blind and vanish because fuck it I'm a dick-ass thief
>>337855701
>tfw playing Seal of Command RNG paladin in duels
those command crits tho
Nothing like bubbling and popping death ray in lvl 40 bgs
>>337854607
Nah, turn your assistance into a chicken all day. Until you know, it turns me into a chicken or you into a super chicken
>>337853001
It was not OK only when the opponent was also not allowed to use their strongest spells like vanish etc.
>>337853001
>Some guy pulls the boss
>Paladin bubbles out while saying "ok im done"
>>337855703
I thought there was a glyph that made hearthstone a 5 second cast if divine shield was active
>>337853001
yea only really used it in duels just to get out of cc even then people would bitch
>>337855979
>wasting blind powder
fuck that
>>337855578
Amen to that.
Behold the results of an "Honorable" 1v1 duel on one of the floating islands in nagrand back in the day.
They brought four. We brought seven.
>>337853001
If you bubbled during a duel you lost the duel due to fleeing.
>>337856074
>Seals are gone
>Auras are gone
>Judgements are gone
>Literally none of these are even slightly represented in hearthstone or other warcraft media
I will never not be mad, HURR LETS JUST CHANGE THE ENTIRE FUCKING CLASS DESIGN AFTER 3 EXPANSIONS AND AFTER HAVING THE CLASS BEING FUCKING SHIT FOR TWO OF THEM
Fuck you blizzard, fuck you
>>337856365
>wait for pull
>BoP on the offtank, divine intervention on the main tank
>dragon turns to the nearest rogue and kills half the raid
i still got loot
>>337856449
Anyone who cries muh honoraburuis a pussy that can't actually play.
imo i think it's ok. some classes were entirely dependent on their cooldowns being up.
rogues couldn't kill anyone without all their cooldowns in vanilla.
>>337856449
damn
TBC outfits are a lot worse than I remember
>>337855085
>Finally bother leveling a fucking trade skill to max after all these fucking years
>Alchemist seemed cool because turning bronze into gold is some tight shit along with the ability to make money selling potions.
>one day looking at list of stuff I can make
>notice this glorious thing.
>Holy fuck
I dont even know if these things work anymore but if they do they're beast.
>>337856873
I don't know what to tell you if you didn't enjoy the crystal ranger set complete with cotton candy mace.
>>337856974
if it looks fun and useful it either doesn't work in PvP or they removed it.
>>337856998
i'm one of those faggots that like colorful simple outfits. So vanilla would probably be peak for me, but would have liked TBC more if transmog existed.
Those clown outfits after the first few hellfire quests...damn
>>337856384
Well, maybe. I didn't play WoW for veery long time.
>>337857185
I wanna start playing this piece of shit. Why are most of the servers so fucking unbalanced? The best one I could find with a semblance of equal sides was Dalaran, which is a pve server, and emerald dream, an rp server, What gives?
>>337857462
it's always been like that. blizzard doesn't care anymore since they introduced crossrealm and world pvp isn't a thing anymore.

There was literally nothing else for me.
>>337857935
Isle of Thunder was the best area for world PVP.
Hillsbrad pre-BGs comes close. STV was shit because it was always max level faggots ganking people all day.
>>337856873
TBC easily was the worst for clashing colours and retarded armour sets
>>337859070
I honestly prefer TBC/Vanilla clownsuits to WotLK/Everything after where nearly all armor you get from leveling uses the same model.
