.. sehr witziger BLUE POST:
Crowd Control in Arenas
The point I was making was that a common sentiment seems to be:

1) Only classes with multiple forms of CC on different DR (typically embodied by the Frost mage) are capable of playing intelligently and with finesse.
2) If you aren't one of these classes, you are only faceroll.
3) Faceroll classes require no skill. It's the class winning, not the player.
4) Therefore, it is offensive if faceroll classes ever win.
5) Therefore, those classes really shouldn't be represented in Arena.
6) The only way to fix this problem is for every spec and class to have equivalents of Blink, Frost Nova, Polymorph etc.

Number 6 just isn't our design, and it definitely homogenizes the classes more than we are comfortable with.

Even if you want to argue that warriors are too weak in PvP at the moment, which I don't think is a foregone conclusion, they have certainly been quite capable at points in WoW's history. If you are of the mindset that warriors should never be in that situation because they are a faceroll class, then your vision for WoW PvP is probably at odds with that of the developers.

We think classes are capable of playing with finesse even if they aren't a class with layered CC and escape mechanisms. What I mean by that is that you need to play intelligently and respond to your surroundings. You need to use your cooldowns at the right time. You need to sometimes at least think about switching targets. Even if warriors aren't there at the moment (again debatable) we don't really think warriors need a couple more types of CC and escape mechanisms to get there. With the addition of Juggernaut, they probably have all the tools they need and it's just the numbers that might need adjusting.

Some of you just need to untangle the definitions of cleave, burst, melee and faceroll and stop using them all completely interchangeably. It's imprecise and just confuses everyone else.

Now, in those situations where a class or spec just beats someone over the head with MASSIVE DAMAGE and doesn't have to be particularly clever or even sentient to win, then that is faceroll, that is a problem and not at all what we want in the PvP game. I don't think warriors are in that spot now. DKs and Retadins have been there before.

"Wir waren irgendwo in der Gegend von Barstow, am Rande der Wüste, als die Drogen zu wirken begannen."

Jaja blabla...
Immer das gleiche.
Beim Schami Q&A haben sie jetzt auch geschrieben, dass sie den Verstärker im PvP überlebensfähiger machen wollen (seid ca. 5 Jahren)

Manche Dinge ändern sich einfach nie... zumindest glaube ich nicht mehr daran. :(
