From the #1 Cata review on Amazon.com: "Blizzard's greatest misstep was blaming players instead of admitting their mistakes.
They've convinced half of the population that the other half are unskilled whiners, causing a permanent rift in the community."
Now I am not sure if you are trolling because you think its funny or you really just are ignorant about what is happening in the video.
I will give you the benefit of doubt and explain it to you one more time.... both teams queued together and they all stand around doing nothing for literally 20 minutes to let the 2 players stack the orb buff and debuff up to a ridiculous amount. This is more than just picking up berserker and popping all cooldowns it is a deliberately staged fight that requires everyone on both teams to be in on it.
If you still don't understand after this then I don't know what else to say.
I watched the entire video. In the ones where he did really high damage he had the orb and stuff. Also... don't take swifty videos seriously.
But you are right, WoW pvp is broken as fuck.
You just fail to see my point, I don't care if he's prot, you could do this without a talentbuild at all and still do crits that would two shot anything.
It's the buffs, nothing more nothing less.
Why do you think he's doing this in bg's?
Surely he could go oneshot people in arena right?
It's set up, can be done with any class, any hard hitting ability, swifty just happens to play warrior.
I'm sorry...did I see a post about a rogue whining that he got stunlocked? Seriously? Why didn't you trinket, l2p, insert various other excuses rogues use when people talk about their stuns.
That's because it's in a bg where you're suppose to be able to take down a carrier with ease after a while...if a carrier holds the orb long enough, and gets the huuuuuuuge damage taken debuff, thene ofc this stuff will happen, has nothing to do with pvp being broken, it's just how the battleground works, it's to avoid the "hey we got the orb first so let's turtle" stuff.
Everyone knows PvP sucks right now, and sucks more each expansion than the previous one. Both damage and healing are too good. Swifty is a crappy point of reference though, just some overrated WoW player that does nothing impressive but somehow has a lot of fans.
this is the worst video to prove pvp is imbalanced. just watch any cartoonz video and any warrior arena video in MoP.
lol frost bomb
Lets see, huge health pools, crazy healing, how in fucks name do we combat those to things? ZOMG, we'll allow players to do big damage...
But, what the fuck, Blizzard, I don't want big damage...
Go play that shit game TOR if you want small health pools with low damage.
Swifty (A guy who lives and breathes WoW, it's his job) pulls every buff he can, has a naked player sit down so he can test crits =/= Broken PvP.
The irony is that this is taken completely out of context and is in fact a terrible way to manage resources in PvP
Sure it's possible to talent for every 'on use' abiltity, pop them all at once along with pots, trinkets and external buffs and become Godly for a few brief moments. After that though you're an easy target and by no means a threat.
This has always been the case in PvP, with almost all classes.

*Boom!*
"Is he going to you?.....oh"
LOL
Old build really? that was 2 weeks ago. Only diffference with warriors is avatar can now be cced.
Rogues back in cata never one shotted anyone for huge crits. They hit you very fast with small attacks. Its called burst.
And btw, berserker buffs only increase your damage by 10%. Temple increases your damage by 20% or so. A 30% buff should never give you a 93 million crit.
Warriors are broken atm.

Please someone, give a decent explaination.
dont worry, ghostcrawler thinks that being globalled with TFB stacks or a frost bomb is fair. as are blanket silences since they require "skill, to prevent instants".
greg street, you have never stepped into an arena in your life. you are a fucking idiot without any idea on the state of pvp. it is time to resign.
god, it feels good to say what I think without fear of the gestapo mods on the official forums.
Blizzard:
"Let's add res as a base stat to everyone so they all have a fair chance in pvp!"
"Yeah, that's great! Let's do it!"
"And then let's add another stat called pvp power that negates that stat!"
"Yeah, even better!"
How does that make any sense to anyone? Did they think that out at all?
