Da King Of Burst

[Saverem]

I'd say the top burster thus far (in a consistant basis, as in doesn't require lucky procs/short term long CD buffs, etc) is MM Huntards.

[Borfl]

Feral.

But WW not bad too considering I just FoF'd a Gladiator Warrior from 100-0, he had nothing up though.

I play Gladiator. There's no such thing as bursting me down. Honestly, I'm starting to doubt there's even such a thing as dying.

I play Blood DK and I eat Glads for breakfast lunch and dinner and end with 100% life when it's over.


Most of them just give up and start trying to escape when they hit ~50% HP after healing and popping all their CDs then seeing me in the high 90%s and no def CDs used. That's when I use this time to end them and heal myself back to full at the same time.

They must have sucked at least 12 bags of dick if they got eaten like that by a DK. Glads have so much utility and survival it's bordering on ridiculousness. I can't say I've experienced issues with DK's of any spec. To be honest they stand CC'd in a corner or slowed on the other side of the map most of the fight.

That's true. BGs as Blood is borderline unplayable thanks to all the fucking CCs/snares/roots and my inability to leave them. Mobility is our achilles heel.

However, I have yet to meet a class that can stand up to me 1v1. Closest ones are Feral Druids with their OP heals and DoT kiting.

Can't say I've ever even noticed a Glad Warrior or any other Warrior to be even a marginal threat to me. In fact, most of the time I can't even tell the difference between the 3 specs as they all go down at about the same speed for me and unlike Rogues/Mages/Druids/etc they can't really run away from me unless they get off a lucky SR.

That's usually the case when you have years of experience or good knowledge of your class. We have to remember that most people we face in BG's and low/medium rated Arena are plewbs, fresh meat to the grinder, the stormtroopers of warcraft. Of course we shit on them like they were nothing. My view of blood DK's will most likely change once I meet one that can play, that has yet to happen. I'm sure you would feel the same once you meet a proper warrior as well. But I do agree that Blood is one of the trickier specs to deal with as warrior of any specialization.

MM hunter for sure.

[Deleted]

Ferals, Rets, MM but so far, 2h FDKs shred my hp in seconds due to obliterate crits.

[Hand Banana]

Set up properly I can kill my friends prot war in ~10 seconds as an unholy dk with breath of sin. Thats him just standing there but prot has alot of armor and parry chance so its pretty crazy considering UH is a pressure spec.

Still, no mention of rogues is funny. Rogues are by FAR the most op class imo, every 3s match ive done against rogues they equal or top ret, hunter and feral teammates in damage as well as providing 3x the control.

[Cempa]

While this is not 100-0 but BM hunter Trinket+Racial+Wrath+Barrage and leave the rest up to the pet...serious pain..

[Deleted]

MM hunter has no burst unless you fall below 35%.

Before that MM Hunters burst is a joke.. Aimed Shot has a long cast time, so at best a hunter can cast aimed shot and chimaera shot in a 3 second window or so on you. That is not impressive burst.

MM Hunter is only good at picking off low hp targets to finish them off if they don't counter the hunter with cooldowns such as ice block.

[inboundpaper]

Ret is pretty crazy. Tooling around in bg's and picking up zerker is pretty crazy.

how are you critting 100k? or are you talking about BGs



OT: Played vs Ziqo last night when he was playing Rogue/Mage in 2s, their burst was nuts and they didn't even execute it properly. Given the proper set up I believe they have the potential to 100-0 me every game through trinket and wall and my healers trinket every game - the crystal+bomb burst with a rogues lockdown is nuts.

In 3s, I don't think anything has bursted me hard yet.. everything seems far more preventable/predictable than previous expansions.

Any idea what spec they were playing? My feeling on rogues this expansion is that you bring them for control, but that their damage is not as good as several of the other dps classes. Subtlety, outside of openers and Shadow Dance feels really weak on damage, but that may just be my personal experience.

in an arena, all burst CD's the target was taking 10% dmg from kidney and the extra damage from the shadow orb thigie, so thats with 20% extra damage. With all burst CD's feral does 75% more dmg and has double the chance to crit.

because that's 70% sustained damage, setting up, pooling, sticking on the target, and you're comparing it to classes that just hit hard by default. 3x the cc (a generous estimation), compared to having 50x less self-healing and zero off-healing, the longest of which require stealth/out of combat or is on a long cooldown.

frontloaded, on demand burst is obviously superior.
