Agreed; frost mages are a lot harder to shut down. And yet, hunters are incredibly powerful if they're not shut down, a big IF that will hopefully get smoothed out in MoP.Sesamee wrote:I agree we share some similarities but we're nowhere near them in terms of pvp effectiveness. We should close the gap in MoP though by quite a bit. Esp if they give us self heals that are actually attractive enough to talent into. But yeah, pvp on Beta already feels so much better than it does on live right now. I hope it continues.Kalliope wrote:We're kind of not far off from frost mages, certainly not from a marks perspective (and that's been our definitive PvP spec for the most part for years). Both are pet classes that rely on snares and control. We're going to be picking up a possible talented snare->stun in MoP. We don't lose much when silenced and can't be locked out of a spell tree. Now that we won't have a dead zone, casters are roundly going to hate us even more. They can only escape us through CC, stuns, and LoS.
This is going to be awesome.
The loss of dead zone is going to mean mages can't nova us and ice lance our faces. They're going to have to be crafty.
