This is how I would fix shockwave.(PvP)

After Avatar, and Gag Order you are still complaining? I mean seriously?

Learn not to pay attention to, or at least reply to, cry nerf threads. People who make them don't care about balance. In any way, shape or form. They don't want something to be fair - they just plain don't want to have to deal with it.

For as many tears as players make over Gag Order, the tsg team in the bnet finals was just straight fisted by wizard cleave.

Eh, I play a Rogue, and I disagree. I don't think Shockwave is the part of warriors that are out of balance at the moment. Leave shockwave as it is...

Well if they don't want to deal with it why start a thread about it just remain silent or just quit or move on. As for the final it was an amazing final I loved it!!!!!

Don't make pvp imbalanced because PVE


sincerely a PvPer


oh wait

This is a PVE based game. From the start the game was designed around PVE. As shown by the inability to use lust in arenas, or the 50% instead of 100% armor reduction granted by CS, the ability of Blizzard to change how certain spells and abilities work in one area but not the other is FAR superior to nerfing/changing how a mechanic work because of an imbalance on either side of the PVE/PVP spectrum. In a PVP setting? Make shockwave work one way, or avatar. In a PVE? Make heroic throw silence the mob for 3 second. Far better than this BS.

I don't think Warriors controll would be so bad if their damage wasn't so Op. All Blizzard needs to do is tone down warrior burst and they should be fine.

Actually, yes it would have an impact on pve.

You cannot dodge/parry/block while casting spells, effectively making this a useless talent for Prot.
Let's not forgot spell pushback which would effectively make it a longer cast time for pve Prot Warriors.

Not that I think a cast time on Shockwave is a good idea, but it's not like they couldn't easily exempt it from spell pushback. And inability to dodge/parry/block. Did Slam used to stop you dodging/parrying/blocking?
