    [PvP] Every time someone complain about burst

    So, everytime someone complains about burst in PvP now I think of how it was back in Vanilla...

    When you saw someone in epics (Or even blue gear) and was scared as f*ck because you knew you'd gonna be raped..
    And then it wasnt even burst, it was pretty much the high crits that screwed you over ^^

    For an example I'll add a Pat video here: Pat's HW vid full HW gear, and pretty much trampling everyone x]

    Ahh dem good old days, huh? My self was a rogue with The Lobotomizer and was pretty much one or two shotting cloth users, and that dagger was easy to obtain :P


    The reason I made this thread was because I was talking with someone yesterday that said this: "God damn I hate the burst in PvP now, it was so much better back in Vanilla!" Like realy? :P

    What are your memories of Vanilla PvP? Or any other expansion, lets share some good old memories together!

    *EDIT*
    Feel free to add some video clips, makes it more fun

    Yeah, I used to play my brother's Rogue (before I got my own account) in Vanilla. He was in full PvE gear (t2+), using the PvP swords as Combat. It was just amazing watching multiple people stand together for me to just Blade Flurry, you know back when it was a cooldown, and just destroy all of them as they stood together.

    Oh, Mr Warrior you want to stand next to that Priest? Hah, thanks, I just do the same damage to you as I do on him. :3

    But yeah, I do find it funny when people say that they wish it were as balanced as it were in Vanilla. It just makes me laugh, they obviously didn't play if they thought it was balanced. A lot of classes global'd each other, or were permanently CCd (the joy I had from perfecting the stun lock as a Rogue!).

    Haha indeed x] I only did PvP though, so the best PvE items I had was from ZG and AQ20 ^^ Think I downed 2-3 bosses in MC :P So didnt have the best gear, but got to rank 11 and had full blue pvp gear, was pretty sick! And lobotomizer and the WSG (I think?) dagger, and then the WSG swords when I was playing combat :P

    I was a warlord warrior with the first draconic avenger on the server, yes... i was badass. I could kill some people with a mortal strike crit. But when i met this highwarlord mage in BGs he would PoM pyro my ass - killing me in one crit also. Haha!

    That's how PvP was back then, get the first hit - or hit the dirt! Loved it, good thing there was no arena though x] (Except Gurubashi, if I spelled that right)

    Well, with Reckoning, we did crazy damage when whoever was attacking us got lucky.

    The first reckoning was sick and unbalanced like F*uck.

    Everytime somebody would crit you, you would get 1 stack of reckoning, making your next autoattack hit "double" so to speak. With every crit taken, you would get 1 stack. 5 Stacks would mean 5 additional swings. YOu get the idea.

    Now imagine a rogue and pala abusing this with endless duels.. multiple broken daggers of the rogue and a recking bomb on Kazzak (world boss in vanilla)...

    Talent tooltip: Gives you a 20/40/60/80/100% chance to gain a bonus attack after being the victim of a critical strike.

    What could actually happen: If you were currently swinging against a target, it would only reset your swing timer. If you weren't, you would gain the bonus swing as a charge on your next swing. At first this wasn't capped, hence this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TqPQ4SNmx2c

    Within 24 hours of that Kazzak kill, Reckoning was hotfixed to being capped at 4 bonus swings (5 swings total in one Reckoning 'bomb'). Still more than enough swings to kill rogues in a single swing.

    Haha! No wonder they nerfed it :P Or fixed it rather

    Well, sir. That's bullshit. As in Vanilla you could easly be oneshotted by anyone who had the gear. Now they have to use CDs and build up then one shot u :P
    And no - PvP in Vanilla wasnt better than what it was now, but your opinion - no one is forcing you to do anything anyways

    Yes, as long as you got the opener. It was no problem keeping someone stun locked and/or bleed them to death if they where a melee. But gear > skill in Vanilla (pretty much atlesat)

    i think shamans were the kings of RNG, maybe windfury will proc and 1 hit, maybe not. was basically a 30% chance to one hit the enemy or not :P

    my hunter always felt weak in vanilla pvp, kiting was easy but my highest hit was like a 1.5k aimed shot, and that had a 3.5s cast time

    As someone pointed out earlier, rets actually had to recieve a critt or two to be able to nuke something down. Other than that we only had judgement and SoCasino ^^
