Some cheese with that whine please

It’s that time again. The few days after a patch when the whole community it seems comes to the Blizz-forums and starts crying. Let’s do a small trip round the classforums. It is really entertaining.

Hunterforum (thread titles in Italic)
#1: Noob hunters critting 1k+ white crits. This is a whine about arcane shot
#2: Simply amazed…..all clothies are free kills. This is about an amazed hunter who kills every clothie in seconds
#3: This is happening more often than not. This is with a screeny from a combatlog where a mage is killed before silencing shot fades with over 4k of damage (the average mage has 3000-3500 life).

Conclusion: Hunters are nasty (I experienced this as well with my lock. I was able to beat some 1v1 anyway. I found a 1866 arcaneshot crit in my combatlog as well).

Mageforum
#1: Hunter vs. mage (new patch) ROFL. About a mage complaining about hunters
#2: READ: warlock whining about mage talents. About a mage who found a post in the warlock forum where a warlock whines about mages. O_o the irony.
#3: Mages are dead, what have you done? About a mage complaining about being 2-shotted by rogues and warriors. A warrior replies their damage is nerfed and he just got HIT by a 2.4k fireball)

Conclusion: Mages have it bad and are undecided about their spec and new talents. Not much whines about other classes.

Paladinforum
#1: Time to nerf you guys. A whine from a lowlevel alt about paladins in plate 2-shotting everything
#2: Thank you Blizzard! About a happy paladin who likes the new spells and animations.
#3: Thanks for ruining PvP. “it’s too easy now” from a paladin

Conclusion: Paladins have a general good feeling about the patch and the new talents and are comfortable in PvP.

Priestforum
#1: How many of you are quitting? About a priest who claims they get 2-shotted and claims priests are back on the bottom of the foodchain now.
#2 Anyone else feels gimped compared to others? About priest that were ‘ok’ prepatch in shadowform and now loose to most classes except warriors
#3 1-shotted. About a priest who gets one-shotted by all classes.

Conclusion: Priests have it bad and can’t believe they are not on top of the foodchain anymore. Best quote from 1 of the threads: “Get spirit of redemption and you can heal great in pvp! (think 90% of my healing done happens when dead -.-)”

The biggest thread in the warriorforum is the thread called “Retired Warrior as per 2.01 list”

Well I could go on here, but I think you get the picture. It’s been patchday again and some positions have been changed in the foodchain.

New order seems to be:
1. Hunter
2. Warlock
3. Paladin
4. Rogue
5. Druid
6. Mage
7. Priest
8. Shaman
9. Warrior

Feel free to disagree, but this seems to be the order atm. If you feel depressed, just grind some of the class-threads as it will certainly cheer you up. There’s lots of whine, you only need to bring the cheese yourself to have an entertaining evening. Have fun the coming weeks those with powers and be patient those down the chain, it will only last till TBC.

Let me end with a post from the shaman thread. It is called “HOW DOES IT FEEEEEEEEEL?"

“Today we paladins are what shamans used to be and shamans are what paladins used to be Welcome to my old chair, you may sit on it as much as you like”

Amen brother

-- Zhero (suddenly pvp-ing with his lock again :D)

PS: If you think you have problems, just think about Jonez/Farlon and how he struggles through life.

I'd put druids higher up on the foodchain if I were you =D
Killing most in 1 vs 1 now, even a tier 3 hunter.
Paladins are a problem though, they got plate and does holy damage that I can't resist. Depends on their gear really.

So fix the list please!

(This count for mangle druids with almost 9k armor in dps gear).

The shaman forums are nothing to care about...they are all crazy.

We got 2 sucking trees (at least until were 70) and 1 overpowered one, i choosed the overpowered one...A certain raven shaman dont like this way of playing cuz its too paladin-like and i respect that, but im sick of getting owned by warlocks wich im not anymore! :)

/cheers and happy birthday

You might be right Muda. I logged in my druid, specced 51 points resto and beat 2 shadowpriests and 1 rogue with ease.

Now I wonder: Am I so imba? :D

The chain seems right although i do think druids are alot stronger now then before.

Priests and warriors have some serious problems it's a shame.
I pvp alot atm with my ally priest but shadow get's old really fast and it doesn't really help you survive longer against any class (wel except warriors). So i think ill specc rock build (at least 41 points in disc) and heal.

Warrior got shafted again , with no new good spells in tbc , sucky and i mean really sucky talents (they even removed the reflectingshield talent)
and of course the big main nerf in the rage normallisation.

so my warrior won't see anyplay till the tbc comes otu , priest and warlock ftw.

o btw Happy birthday zhero dude :)

Milker the pvp noob killed earthquake in a duel, by being a bear and pressing the mangle, charge and maul buttons :)

Killed a noobish lock pretty much the same way :) Was killing locks in AV pretty easy.

Hunters are allways pretty doable.

Mages are lot harder.

Rogues hide, but when they dont it seems a nice fun fight, like it always was.

Warriors were omgwtfpweening me in AV, either I only encountered the badass ones, or their dmg had a nice buff, or the melee/armor calculations were changed to their benefit. Normally I just ignore warriors completely, like having a mob add during a pvp fight.

Paladins, well mages are seriously slacking in sheeping them :) Make sur eyou wear sunglasses when confronting a pally.

Druids forgot to sleep other druids :) It seems like a feral druid > resto druid, but I imagine balance > feral.

My Conclusions:

- druids have become much better with mangle (and innervate that I didnt have yet) glad I choose to play Milker

- please tell me how to deal with shadowpriests
