A lot of the things Pika mentioned are reported bugs in the current TBC beta client. I feel bad for him running into almost every single one of them. :P
Hahaha brings soo many memories from TBC as a rogue. Sub was the best spec as you could still use 2 1-hand swords/maces. If you did it correct it was 'cheap shot - target dead'. If you used X-perl unitframes addon (Later on Z-perl) it showed the combo points alot better! But that is if they have it in this version of TBC. Combo points were slower, but if you calculated that in advance and had alot of stats, agi gems, enchants, you were unstoppable!
I kinda dig the fact that pika doesn’t mess with all the trickster aspects of pvp back then. Like swapping trinks and using engineering crap and bombs and such. He just uses what his class normally does and still does pretty well.
@@endofexistence2149 Wrath PVP was the best it has ever been. You may not agree with me but my opinion IS the most popular one, since Wrath PVP private server ppopulation consistently outnumbers BC servers by a LARGE margin. Wrath is the most popular PVP expansion in the private server community by large margin. It's not even close.
@@thejollysloth5743 classes still had identity but also had a lot of the utility they have today. Bc arenas were great however longer drain teams would cause games to extend sometimes over 30 mins. Wrath didn't have that instead had more fast paced gameplay WHILE keeping the classes unique and niche. The first season of wrath was extremely broken (machine gun dks) but by season 3 wotlk turned out to be a power house of a pvp expansion. I think we can all agree that blizzard has shit the bed overall with pvp balancing and while SL arena is fun (assuming you are playing meta) it has more issues and will continue to have them where as BC and WotLK is the Devil we know.
@@poisongrob5800 Yup. I have played both Wotlk and TBC private servers on and off for the past 10 years. Season 8 (Wrathful) was one of my favorite PVP season ever. TBC is fun for a change but it really doesn't compare. Wotlk expanded on mechanics (like Ret getting Divine Storm, mana regen from Judgement, and a stun break on Freedom - as well as many proc mechanics we still have to this day, like Hot Streak for Mages & Art of War for Ret, and stacking buffs which give instant casts like Maelstrom Weapon for Enhance Shaman & Infusion of Light for Holy Paladin). You are correct about utility being more important in the early expansions. I absolutely loved being able to dispel magic debuffs like Polymorph or Fear with my Ret, or breaking a stun on an arena partner with my Freedom. Although there were overall less involved damage rotations in Wotlk, I still felt I had more to do because there was so much utility. Mastering your class wasn't just about trading cooldowns and knowing your damage rotation, it was literally using every spell in your spellbok for different situations, whether that be fearing a Death Knight during his Lichborne with Turn Evil (so he couldn't heal), or pre-casting Sacrifice on a partner as I got polymorphed so that it would break from the reflected damage on me.
Well to be honest, im currently playing retail and practicing TBC And nostalgia might be part of it, but the feeling to play your class is just better (i mean, rogue feels more like a rogue for exemple) also the fact that it's simple, some people dont really like complicated sh*t xD
A bunch of what he complained about is current bugs and hes garbage player at TBC. Dudes eviserating a warrior wondering why hes not dying... kid is complete trash, he would be 1600 rated in TBC arenas.
@Tyler Porciello Don't act like you know anything about BC pvp lol, even if you were glad in retail TBC you still know nothing about BC arenas..... It's totally changed since back then.
@@aesorn strange how you don’t think he could adapt to whatever niche aspects of the game you’re eluding to in about 20 minutes if he knew them (which he would in the scenario where you’re grinding arena rating) and roflstomp almost anyone that didn’t direct counter rogue. I’m not sure how you think it would be possible for one of the best retail rogues to be bad on tbc, a much slower game.
@@aesorn not for long, diffrent game. Every retail player will need to learn how things were in tbc and adapt to it. Smart and good retail players will also get good in tbc arenas.
@@yannickmarti9866 you know shadowlands sucks when asmongold makes a video saying how bad is it.. face it y’all got played shadowlands it like BFA but worst everyone has/is quitting for tbc ...
