Bubbling in a duel - is it wrong?

[Stevegasm]

I don't see anything wrong with it. Maybe that player is a hold over of old school WoW when forbearance wasn't in it, and you could bubble twice in a short period of time. Every other class has short cooldowns that they use in duels all the time, so I don't see the problem. Though I do agree LOH is kinda cheap.

[Bamahut]

No, bubbling in a duel is not wrong at all, and that paladin should definitely have not have freaked out on you. In fact, if you aren't allowed to bubble, then he shouldn't be allowed to pop wings, seeing as both cause forbearance.

The wings doesn't cause forbearance it just triggers an internal Cool-down on both Divine shield and Hand of Protection for 30 secs!

And about the bubbling during duels, I personally never do it, same as Lay on hands. I don't hate the paladins that do it, but it just makes me laugh to see that they can't win without using either of them! The only time I use it is in arena and world pvp against Horde ( and pve of-course)!

[Kaethas]

Anything you can do in arena is perfectly fine for a duel. If you can't do it in arena I would say that no, they shouldn't do it in a duel. Be that lay on hands, a death knights army of the dead, etc.

Yeah, it's wrong. I know a paladin who refuses to anything but bubble/heal/LoH to win. It's pathetic.
Paladins, you are not a cat. You do not have 9 lives. Stop pretending.

Someone fails at math.

What's a cat?

[Phenetix]

I will also use LoH. Why not? It's a duel, not arena. WTF should I care what's allowed in arena when I'm outside some major city handing you your ass? Fights aren't fair, even if sanctioned.

once upon a time I dueled a paladin

i beat the snot out of him! but he bubbled : (100% invulnerable)

he unbubbles, i beat the snot out of him again. he uses his OTHER bubble. (melee attack invulnerable, and i'm a rogue)

i beat him up again though now it's getting close, he STUNS ME heals up to full again with lay on hands :'( :'(

and i get him down to half hp before i finally lose.

only time i tolerate bubbles is when paladins do it really prematurely and i can just vanish and wait it out since i didn't have time to pop cooldowns.

You must be bad if you couldn't kill him during the 2 minute forbearance debuff.

so wait u "beat the snot out of him" so fast he had time for forbearance to wear off and bubble again? you mean. so i white attacked him for 2 minutes while he spammed flash of light. and cause im bad i didnt think to use a wound poisen, then to top it all off he stunned me!. which is a whole new concept to a rogue.... right???

^That says it all!

[Genesic]

This topic is new and interesting.

Regardless, duels are between two people. If no ground rules are laid out before said duel, anything is fair game. If you hate cooldowns, then say "don't use x, y, and z". Simple.

IT IS A DUEL......WHO FUCKING CARES????????

Yea, it is stupid to do it, but did it cost him honor or arena points?

Who won!

[Lightfist]

If they tell me I can't bubble (which I don't just to avoid bitching, mostly), I tell them they can't use Vanish, Death Wish, etc.


Either way, if they bitch about bubble, chances are they're so fail at PVP I could whoop their ass with a wet noodle and some tape.

Just intrested in knowing where people stand in this matter.

I giggled.

[Ronark]

Nope its not.

/thread.

[Tandellon]

It's okay. It is YOUR class ability as a Paladin, Blizzard made it for your use. If you have an ability that was given to you, use it.

Not using it is like having someone trying to kill you, and not using everything you can to survive.

me me me me. thank god 2, i was broke as shit.
