    What the heck are you talking about? Evoker are fine if all you do is raid heroic and early mythic bosses. First of all - how do you know? You can see future? The said content is not even testable to begin with.

    Secondly, I am not talking about some hypotheticals - I am talking about what is going on right now in beta, where I both leveled Evoker to 70 and did whatever little content is available there.


    There is no ad hominem in pointing out you're full of shit, talking about things you did not even try. And don't be cute with me - you started this with your "parroting" bullshit out of nowhere - you don't even bloody know me to make any such claim.

    Might want to take your medicine. I'll believe a class discord over some doom and gloom shouter. Weird how they disagree with your "omg they're absolutely horrendous!!!"

    The fuck are you on? It's not parroting, it's how it is. You're made of fucking paper and Empowers feel completely dogshit to use.
    This clearly isn't^^^
    They're just disputing your ad hominem attack by explaining that no, their opinion is not informed by simply watching youtube. It is, in fact, based on personal experience.

    As previously stated in this thread, you obviously can't know this because heroic and early mythic are both not currently available for testing, and there's no historical precedent for a 25yd caster class existing alongside 40yd caster classes. If this is something disruptive to the idea of needing a ranged stack point, that could destroy the viability of evoker even putting aside any sense of feel, or any reasonable levels of tuning.

    Who's to say those people aren't all just parroting their youtube daddies? They're at best exactly as experienced as the person you're totally not ad homming by calling a doom and gloom shouter.

    Yea.. No objective data to disprove the evoker discord and prove your own claims. The usual bashing from someone who ran out or arguments.


    On topic, regardless how they launch, I am damn sure we will see a metric fuck ton of them, and an expansion later they'll be a lot rarer. Either the hype has died down or people moved to the next form

    I've made exactly zero claims about evoker strength. I promise I have neither run out of, nor began to make, arguments. The closest thing I've made to a claim is saying it's too early to make claims regarding their strength in raids.

    This is accurate.

    Honestly, who made this thread? Evokers are so bad in PvP, it's ridiculous. And they're by no means strong or even overpowered in PvE, either. As of now they're a joke of a new class really nobody would deliberately pick for their group.

    My experience as well. Evokers are super meh and quite unexciting competitively speaking.

    Do you actually have anything meaningful to respond, instead of attacking me? Something that is not a fantasy of being fine in content that is not even yet testable?

    You started this shit and you push on, not me - maybe you're the one who should take your advice.

    Evoker is garbage at PVP. Hot, steaming, garbage.

    PVP power is similar to elemental shaman, but worse.

    It honestly does not matter to me, I have been banned for 3 months for literally doing nothing.

    The appeal section is also completely useless because they never honestly listen to an appeal.

    I just come on the site when I'm bored sometimes, so if I get banned I just fill my time with something else like the game I'm designing and building.

    Blizz, it's still not too late to make PvP go the way of archeology, or pet battles. Just do it.

    Evokers desperately need some form of defense outside Obsidian Scales and kiting - there's nothing this class can do when some melee stuns you and starts going to town. It's basically a hunter that can be kicked with half the range and cc, if we're keeping the mid-range thing we need to at the very least let them equip shields or give them passive armour/damage reduction a la Moonkin Form, Focused Will etc.

    Yeah really who cares about PvP ? Now if you said oh all those who actually PvP, well to that I say you all can go on a rocket and fly straight into space and I wouldn't miss a one of you. BUT if all the PVE'ers did that, you wouldn't have a game anymore.

    Melee?! How about getting fucking 2 shotted by MM hunters.

    Evokers get rekt by anything capable of interesting burst. They're like elemental shamans but with none of the survivability.

    Is your argument that if you don’t like something, you must be bad at it? Damn, I must be bad at shuffling toy cars up my arse then.

    You ask me, as a PvE'er, I think it's mostly PvE oriented design that's ruined the game. The rotations of the modern game are absurd and unnecessarily irritating. Far from providing freedom and opportunities for clever plays, they instead simply set up a very specific sequence of moves that, if not followed closely, tanks your DPS to oblivion. PvP'ers didn't ask for that, PvE'ers did.
    this game was designed around PVE and not PVP. it's why there isn't a 1v1 arena because they know their game doesn't work as a PVP one yet that's still a huge portion of the population. The only real enjoyable moments are in BGs which plays more like PVE than PVP anyway. That said i would say that for fantasy game of this nature the PVP is pretty accurate. It would never be balanced or fair.

    A lot of PVE focused players in wow do like PVP it's just not in wow. League of Legends or some other game solely designed around PVP are our gotos. That said i hope they do something like make Evokers uninterruble as a base passive. Melee can LOS/merry-go round you anyway no point letting them also stop/lockout you from casting as well. 15 years of garbage PVP continues.

Won't help with Evoker population though, the class has just too many downsides to be desirable to play.
    Death Knight was just straight up broken, not at all balanced. That was so poorly executed by blizzard its unreal it should never have hit live servers in that state

    So you're coming out and saying that you have tried shuffling toy cars up your arse? (I'm sorry, I just couldnt let that one go)

    They feel awefully focus-able in pvp. They may have the ability to do solid damage if left alone, but its mid range and they can be swapped to easily and bursted down quickly.

    For PvE, that is simply a tuning matter. If Blizzard lets them be OP in PvE to get people to play them, then they will be. Otherwise they can be toned up or down as needed.


    Not sure I'd say at all they are too powerful. Ugly in form and lazy for only having two specs? yea.... they are that
