Worse than Timeless Isle

Jan21

Back during MoP, gear out in the world got extremely unbalanced.  The best pvp gear level was 550, but raiders could get to 580ish.  That meant they could destroy pvpers very quickly, we’re talking 3 globals.  I personally recall dying to a raid tier shadow priest on my resto druid in the span of a Silence, or getting destroyed with a penance or two by a disc priest on my 550 hunter.

Timeless Isle was a real problem on pvp servers in particular, because raiders were gods and could kill pvpers like it was nothing.  I didn’t ever want to see THAT again.

But, here we are.  I’m around 935 ilevel on my mage and priest, but if I run into say, a warlock who is 960ish, they can melt me and NOTHING I can do will save me, I can’t even outheal the damage.  On top of that, you can have someone hit you even at the same item level or close, and take you to 20% health before you know it.  It’s pretty bad.

Though I will say out in Tol Barad, with the exception of that raiding warlock, I’ve still been doing ok.

But, it makes me want to raid just to keep up, it’s frustrating.  It’s totally not fair for me to do that, or have a raider do that either but here we are, again.

Characters needing changes

Jan14

People are griping endlessly about Mercy and her rez and if anything I think the cast time should be extended a bit.  She’s already getting a nerf to her new ult.  Otherwise, she still seems just fine to me.

Moira on the other hand, geez.  Her ult needs no real aiming on all the maps that are like a hallway (Dorado, Hollywood, Volskaya, etc) but I don’t think it’s really a big deal.  She just does too much damage, imo.  I went 1v1 with a Moira as Symmetra with us both at full health and she killed me.  WHAT?

Her blood sucking orb is ridiculous too.  It travels for ABSOLUTELY AGES and hits everything in range, on top of also bouncing.  So throw it stupid like, against a wall? No worries, it just bounces around for like 10 seconds all over the place and as far as I know, only D.va can block it.  You can’t exactly hide from it on most maps and it might just bounce and follow you anyway.

Her ‘sym’ beamis just too easy for someone who can heal and can destroy any of the lower hp characters.  I can’t wait to see what they do with her.

Holiday Events

I haven’t been playing WoW a lot lately, just logging in for Tol Barad.  Solo and I came to an agreement that he knows how to play a hunter, I know how to play a healer, but neither one apologized about raging that one day.

I also logged in today and Tank had sent me two pets, Naxxy and the Noblegarden Bunny.  The bunny is pink!!!    I haven’t leveled pets in so long, I really should get on that again.  That was a xmas present, of course!

 

Yes, but they aren’t ME

I have something of a habit of fighting bitterly with people I end up reconciling with and end up with a friend.  That may be the case with this Solo bozo. He asked if anyone wanted to duel and I accepted, and proceeded to try to beat the living hell out of him for something like 10 straight minutes.  No joke, we went until after the battle ended.

But thanks to a dumb legendary he has that heals for 3% total health whenever he doesn’t move, I could close not the deal. But I felt better after.

He ended up btag inviting me and I grudgingly had to say he was decent.  And I’ve heard this before but I got “I can kill other discs”.  Yes, but they aren’t ME.

 

Then as you may see, he also replied with a similar line of “im not any hunter” when I said I’ve killed hunters before.

Streets are uneven when you’re down

I’ve been having fun in Tol Barad lately, although often times it’s very heavily leaning towards Alliance, every once in a while we get a good battle with Horde.

 

But, I’ve been feeling rather isolated in the game lately.  I haven’t had a raid team in a long while, and Time Lords has been dead for months.  I quit SPM and I didn’t think too hard about it until I was listening to someones stream.  Lots of grouping for various activities; something I haven’t had in months.

I looked at my friends list and, so many people who just never message me or ask to do anything, ever.  It got e-depressing looking at that so I deleted most of my friends list.  Anyone I hadn’t talked to or played with in months was removed.  I don’t know how it makes any kind of sense but it feels better to not look at 20 people who don’t ever contact me.
