I understand going straight to heroic as an option, but to get the best start for Mythic progress it would be pretty nice to have set bonuses. I haven't look at any tank or healing set bonuses, but im sure they are worth it too? The 4 set for me is a 50% mana reduction on Prayer of Healing. I already have no issues with mana and its even less of an issue when 6.1 hits and I get my mindbender buff. Plus they are buffing cascade to increase our group healing via that which makes it the go to over Prayer anyhow. The 2 set bonus is pretty nice but it isn't exactly amazing it just means I save a GCD to proc Evangelism Looking at every other set bonus Disc priests sure got shafted T_T Nope never mind shadow's 4 set bonus is even worse The 2pc is good for disc, no need to waste time on smiting, PoH is better than PW:S in hps but it drains your mana if you spam it, the set bonuses are just fine. Also 4pc shadow is good too, I'm not sure where you are getting this info priest set bonuses would be bad.
Smite is only a GCD at most its not exactly a waste of time if you've set up a macro correctly its more of a convince / slight mana save than anything. Nice but not amazing / worth losing stats over (still be very nice to pick up the hc / mythic version though)
4pc shadow kills dot weaving completely and for the current CoP rotation its not that good I don't know anything about the other 2 shadow play styles so it may have some use with Void Entropy but its gonna suck losing dot weaving because of it.

It doesn't kill dotweaving, it introduces a filler or two in your weaving depending on your haste.

Vent is not viable(talking mythic progression here) and the bonus is very good for AS which will be better than CoP for multitarget once we get the gear for it, though most progression will be done with CoP most likely.
|
Shadow 4pc makes AS more viable.
As for "killing CoP dotweave" no it just adds a couple fillers for reflective shields. VEnt is still shit as far as I'm aware but with an 80% buff it might see some play from some priests (just not me)
I believe my group is clearing normal/heroic as best we can and then working on M Margok next week... Assuming we kill Ko'ragh Sunday which we should considering we have only had one night on him and already getting sub 20% pulls.

I don't understand what's happening with BEf weapons size on the PTR lol
They made it bigger before, andf everyone was happy, now they changed something, and it's literally the smaller it has ever been, even smaller than on live.
A 2H on BEf is smaller than a dagger on a Human female. ( for real, not joking about it )

So, does anyone have a horde side mythic guild in want of a Ret?

Pvp is in decent shape right now. There are alot of viable comps, though there are quite a few imbalances, as always.
Healer wise MW/RShaman/RDruid all have places in top comps, with each being better for certain comps. RDruids are by far the most versatile healers right now though.
HPals seem to have a place but they have a much higher skill requirement. Discs are just worst RDruids right now, and need some help.
Playstyle wise, the games are alot of fun. Health pools are large enough that people don't get randomly one shot, but you can still 100-0 people in a kidney bomb.
DPS shamans are kinda sad right now though :-(. Rated BG's are pretty well balanced/turn out pretty well. Speed set rogues with burst of speed is kinda silly though, and I hope they get nerfed. Shroud in RBG's allows for so many fun mindgames/plays.
All in all I'm enjoying pvp right now.
Also, playing with rank 1 players is alot of fun :-). Horde FTW.
|
Burst of speed rogs are fucking annoying in BG's. Rdruids are fucking annoying in arenas.
I mean its really really fucking hard to deal with a competent Rdruid, alot moreso than any other healer.
|
Is there a website/ forum with PvP guides and stuff? I'm a casual PvPer at the moment but would like to optimise myself a bit.

Arena junkies is pretty much the only place to go but it's basically not moderated so there is a lot of shit posting everywhere.

Normal first, set bonuses alone are worth it

Imo it entirely depends on your current progress. If your progressing well in mythic, 3/4 bosses dead, then I would say go strait Heroic.
If your struggling to complete heroic you start with normal.
Its a little less clear for the guilds in between but I would guess caution with going normal first is the faster road in the end.
It will help learn the encounters and as said, Set Bonuses are a big deal.

This has been my argument the whole time: gear up and get set bonuses first, but raid leader is like "nope, heroic first because I'm not a pussy."
