PvP Playtest - Monday, 10/15 @ 4PM Pacific: Kill Devs & Earn "the Rebellious" title!

[Elrar]

Greetings Ascended!

1.11 is barreling down the pipe with Storm Legion hot on its heels!

It's no secret that this is the most significant and far-reaching update we've made in terms of class balance, so it's important that we thoroughly test the changes in PvP.

Join us this Monday, October 15th @ 4PM Pacific (11PM GMT) and help us make the mark!

As a reward for helping with testing, anyone who contributes to killing a developer will earn "the Rebellious" title as a token of our appreciation!

COME GET SOME

Welcome to PTS - Getting Started

Welcome to PTS - Getting Started

I'll be there.

Now...what are all the devs character names so I can make a targeting macro...lol

[Takemikadzuchi]

/tar CM_
/tar Dev_
/tar CM_Elrar

to make sure Elrar is targeted for sure, if he is around ;)

[Stryff]

/tar CM_
/tar Dev_
/tar CM_Elrar

to make sure Elrar is targeted for sure, if he is around ;)

haha thanks.

Now to just devise a 1.11 pvp spec...since healing is pointless I'm going to not focus on healing.

Probably Inquisicar. Justicar not for the healing, but just for the increased endurance, armor, and resists. And inquisitor for the 35m range single target damage, since aoe damage is pointless in pvp now.

/tar CM_
/tar Dev_

I've also seen CM_Elrawr

As a reminder - you'll need to rebuild your roles on PTS if you have not already since we opened 1.11 there.

This will take some time - so please plan accordingly so you don't miss out!

Thanks,

PTS Patch Notes before Monday will read:

"To make the game more challenging and engaging we have changed the /tar and /target function from the macro system. Attempting to use such functions now allows your intended target to target you instead.

Good Luck on getting those tittles Ascended!"

So how bout it ;-)

[Sariina]

I can tell you how it will go. Healers complain they can't heal. Warriors pwn everyone in 2 hits and call it balanced.

Will Rogues be tuned? Just did some duels on the PTS with 64.9% damage reduction, and I was being utterly annihilated by Mythblaze. He was getting 2k non-crits. My Fireballs in 51 Pyro weren't even hitting for over 800 on a crit

[ChrisN]

I'm ready. I'm coming for you Elrar. I may chase down Daglar...

Just run whatever spec you just used against me, you'll kill him no problem. Thanks for the duels, it was fun.

But... but... I like healing!

I just had a duel with a geared cleric using puri. I could not even get through the shields. It took me about two minutes to get him down to 70% and then I died.

[Mirimon]

sounds like fun.. have to hop on my warrior though,

cuz rogues are broken weaksauce.. crap for mitigation, crap for hp pool, crap for dmg.. no longer provides utility like healing debuffing or purging.... hm..

yeah.. def roll in there as a war

[Mirimon]

haha thanks.

if by pointless you mean higher than ever before in pvp.. then yeah
