New Beta Build, more PVP changes
by Sunfyre on Sep.30, 2010, under Cataclysm
Another Beta Build came out, with one more PVP change:
- Fungal Growth now slows enemy targets by 25/50%, down from 35/70%.
I know a lot of you are upset about all of the PVP nerfs, but here’s my opinion. (And yes, I’m a PvE Balance Druid, so feel free to take it with a grain of salt):
PVP is being balanced around rated battlegrounds, 3v3s, and 5v5s, not 2v2 or duels.
That being said, if you sat a rogue on a healer who was within a 10 yard beam of silence, with a 70% snare, they would NEVER stand a chance of leaving it alive.
These nerfs are being looked at on a whole, not just as a balance druid. I think even with a 5 yard beam, and a 50% snare, a healer will have a difficult time getting out of the silence while a rogue is constantly stunlocking, and able to save a kick just in case the healer does leave the beam.

Latest on Mon, 10:14 am: Not really, but treants get worse.
: Hey Sunfyre. I get the legendary Meta soon. Does anything Major change when i get to gem? Statweights, Playstyle. thx
: Wait, what you just said doesn't make sense. What makes us go straight to 20 energy? With SotF it takes 2 casts to reach lunar. 2 casts to reach solar. Without SotF it takes 3, correct me if i'm wrong.
: Sorry, I don't understand where your getting the 20 from, 100 80 60 40 20 0 40 80 100 or sotf 100 80 60 40 20 0 (40 sf + 40 sotf) 80 120 ??
: Hi sunfyre, how would you say the 4p t15 will be with SoTF? Does that also maybe make mastery more valuable?
: Hey Sunfyre. I'm trying to wrap my head around what you've been saying about SotF. How exactly does it not reduce Starfire casts by 1?
: Started a Druid....3 days ago or something like that.... Anyways i got to lvl 60 and im not using gear SETS so much as im using the things that look especially helpful such as Int and Spir Stacke, Occasionally with some 14-15 haste involved..... Im not one of those guys who go out and get the best pve/pvp gear But i really need some help..... im a resto balance mix and well my hits are only doing about 5K at lvl 60 :/ what sohuld i do?

Yeah, the 70% snare was really, really harsh. I was, however, looking forward to seeing if it would own the valks on LK….

How would you time fungal growth at 80? It’d be difficult to time treants… since we won’t have mushrooms yet

Reports I’ve heard say melee of all kinds are getting thrashed by range of all kinds (especially ele shaman) in pvp (in part due to the dispel changes).
So no surprise to see some of these nerfs.
