Re: World of Warcraft

I was kinda being sarcastic, when I think of movespeed being mandatory in raids, I think of people who can't react fast enough to get out of aoe

Whereas I think of getting to where you need to be faster so you can resume your full DPS output faster, especially in fights with a lot of movement. a 25-man raid group getting an extra half second every 15 or 20 seconds adds up to a lot of damage across 6 minutes.

Re: World of Warcraft

I've always been a caster, so it's never been an issue to save instant-casts (or oGCDs that make your spells instant-cast) for heavy movement. I've also briefly played as melee dps and maybe once had problems with disconnects.
I can totally understand using movespeed if you're still learning the fight or if that's the only buff for boots. Not too versed in consumables in WoW

Re: World of Warcraft

I would assume you would end up doing more damage with a damage enchant on your boots instead of attacking for 1 extra second. So I agree that if you know the script that it shouldn't be an issue to not have a speed increase.

Well the point of progression raiding is that you're learning the fight until you down the boss and move on to the next boss. By the time you give a shit that you know the fight and the move speed is irrelevant, so is the fight.

And believe me, 100 crit rating doesn't do NEARLY as much as a move speed increase saving you 10 or 12 seconds in a fight, when your DPS are doing 180,000 damage per second.

Re: World of Warcraft

Is 100 crit rating all you can get from a boot enchant? That seems less than the crit gems you can get.

Re: World of Warcraft

The best current boot enchants that don't include a movement speed buff are

Haste 175
Hit 175
Mastery 50

There's a reason all the endgame enchanting boot recipes now have a speed buff on them. Nobody was using anything else.

Re: World of Warcraft

Then I guess there isn't even a choice. Those all look like cata enchants.

Re: World of Warcraft

Made up a new spec and it seems effective. Still not even geared.

Re: World of Warcraft

So apparently I already have the best pvp weapons. Was doing some ranked bg and arena and it was "alright". Better than rbg, but still has some serious balance issues that didn't exist in wotlk. Maybe more of gameplay issues since most classes are just stupid. They made every class have way too much mobility without taking away from anything else to compensate. Every class has some kind of teleport and sprint and it doesn't make any sense in terms of balance for some classes.

I pretty much never die in rbg because I can get away from anything just by vanishing and sprinting since damage doesn't break vanish. I can be halfway across the map with recuperate on before vanish breaks if I have bleeds. This is equally as stupid for most other classes since something like a warrior can jump 150 yards and then sprint barrel roll or something another 50 in a half second.

Either way, arena is pretty easy so far. Gearing is going to be a joke. I'll have the best pvp gear possible within a couple weeks just because it limits you too 11500 conquest points a week.

Re: World of Warcraft

doing some reading, it looks like rogues get shafted in arenas

think you'll try trial of the gladiator when it comes out with the xpac?

Re: World of Warcraft

Sure, why not. I don't know what that is though.

Re: World of Warcraft

not geared and 426k hp?

Feels like you're playing on a customized private server to me, being a WotLK & TBC person here... back then when warrior's had the most health with like 98000 at a time within a
10 second window inside Icecrown Citadel, when they regularly have 32000-35000 without buffs.
