5.2 so far

[Magic Sausage]

Been watching some streams and doing some half serious arena and Rogue/Mage/Priest is insane.

Can someone give a proper breakdown of how PvP is with the new patch? I was thinking of coming back to PvP but am still not sure. It's not looking good judging by this thread, though :/

[Gnu]

well if you stopped because of the constant fears/stuns/"insert the cc of your choice" or classes doing ludicrous amounts of damage it's basically still the same. However, it can depend on which class your playing.

As for wars turning into rogues I kind of agree. In 5.1 I was frequently the only one in large Bgs such as Alterac yesterday there were at least 5 rogues on my side That's quite funny. I don't believe it will last though

Well... If you want PvP to be fun, don't roll a healer. If you want to have fun, roll a carefree DPS class, like a Hunter, Rogue or Mage, and just murder everything. Personally, I wouldn't keep my subscription up if PvP was all I was going to do this patch, so in that sense, nothing has changed from 5.1 except a turn of the eternal FOTM wheel.

[Snuggli]

Must admit I had high hopes for the new patch when they released their first couple of patch notes, unfortunately they reverted a lot of them and have left WW monks in pretty much the same spot they were pre-patch, they've ended up buffing hunters and buffed Rogues where they didn't need to be buffed.

I guess we'll see when season starts, but right now nearly everyone is hitting like a truck.

[saltyharbls]

Free gladiator spots will to rogues this season instead of warriors. It will be Rogue/DPS/Healer for rank1.

Im giving it a few weeks before i decide to continue my subscription or not but in its current state i wont.

[Beefkow]

Rogues are better, warriors are more balanced, dks got a slight dmg buff (bad idea) but overall 5.2 is better then 5.1, thats for sure.

frost dk's i just laugh at on my disc priest.
Rogues aren't that op as they're still peelable.
Monks, are still annoying, they just pester me and do nothing else really.
Heals too high, are you joking?

Disc is impossible to top somebody off with new changes.

maybe the idea behind the disc changes is that you no longer need to top somebody off to do your job

[Ventolin]

Windwalker monks still stuck at pvp. Rogues have become absurd.

Disc is probably the most powerful healer again.
It is amusing to see 3 dps doing all they can to down one in random bgs.

I will dust off my old disc as well, they seem to be extremly powerful in Arena now.

[willtron]

They didn't double dk's dmamge, so nice try there. Monks are ridiculously OP right now due to RoP. I don't knwo whee you're getting your info from, but it is way wrong

RoP is stupidly easy to counter.

As a Rogue, I'm fucking about playing a 'Throgue' build, as long as you keep them slowed, just run out the bubble and laugh at them as you annihilate them with ST.

[Merie]

If Ret ever became what Rogues are like right now you could be sure the hotfix nerfs would be rolling out daily. XD

[Axi]

Ring of Peace sums the state of the game up nicely at the moment for me.

Not saying that its super OP in its own right, but the very principle of what precedent it sets is absolutely awful. Far, far too much CC in general and while a few things have been nerfed from being instant, there have been just as many things added to compensate.

Not sure about healers being too strong or not, haven't noticed.

I felt like towards the end of 5.1 it was getting better(if only they would have taken all the instants out) but now its back to square 1.

[Lulbalance]

Rogues are good again.
Monks...not yet.
Hunters didn't get fixed
DKs dmg was high. So they doubled it.

And heals are waaay too powerful. Enjoy watching 3 dpsers trying to kill you.

i dunno why anyone bothered writing anything after this. this sums it up..except the healing part, hard to tell with no arena .

probably be more evident because there are 1.5 zillion pallies.

it's not as bad as 5.1 TJ.. it's actually not that horrible at all. but the OP's points are pretty on target imo.

[thisnamesucks]

My take from bgs so far.

Monks and dks hit hard. RING OF PEACE CAN SUCK IT.
Wars are a joke, not even close to dk/rogue/monk in terms of which melee I would rather not have on me.
Rogues DR my healer on stuns, silences, and random stuns (paralytic) within 15 seconds of solo cc, while bursting me.
Spriests ARE EVERYWHERE. I would say at least 25% of all players ive seen in bgs are spriests right now. Way too strong in every aspect.
Heals seem fine.
Hunters and mages are still part of the pain train.

[Magpai]

Just when I thought they couldn't make things worse (5.1) they make things worse (5.2). I feel like everybody is slowly being pushed away from their mains and into FOTM classes...

That's called "projection".

[Arcanist]

LOL@healers being too strong. Try finding your CC and interrupt buttons or coordinate with another DPS, just a little.

[Lulbalance]

That's called "projection".

i lol'd.. so true.

[Darsithis]

There is little to nothing constructive about the opening post. If you'd like to discuss specific issues, you're welcome to, but blanket statements that "class is OP" or "class sucks" is just pointless.
