World of Warcraft®

Bumpibears FTW!

Most of what mr Harrian says is true. At least from my experience playing warrior/any healer in tbc. It all came down to how good my healer was and not how good I was cause as a warrior all you had to do was MS/WW/hamstring. Sure you could focus charge and focus pummel a healer if you could stack them up by pulling them together. But my rating was solely decided by my healers skill level. In wotlk you got way more options and the "skill cap" rose drastically.


Although wow isn't that hard when you compare it to SC2.

I agree with you here Harrianlar, and when you loock at the question if wow needs no skill no more its not true. Maby for PVE but as Harrianlar sad "You can't have a difficulty level on a game which involves other players." meaning, the game is only as hard as the players playing it allows it to be.

Hmmmm.

Was it worth the necro bump?

Skill on MMORPGS like WoW means fast reflexes and ability to decide fast on unusual situations.
So anyone who is not a retard can get "skilled" on WoW, it requires reading loads of forums, playing loads of BGs in order to improve your "command from brain to fingers" ability and having knowledge about your opponents. And if you are in a server where you can find partners easily you can get at least 2k - 2.2k rating on arena.

I think I just started liking Thibble, because this is true.

And to Reavan, you're still %@#% stop talking like you're good.

Play games that you enjoy, it doesn't matter if people think it takes skill or not.

I just realized I haven't watched BUMPibears in years now :/

I hit 2.4k rating in wotlk, does that make me skilled? Let me see, nope!

I was lucky to get that high. Skilled people stay in the top teams no matter what season it is.

It's just the way it is!

Enjoy the sun & Ride the big one folks!

You can't talk skill without talking gear.

I still remember first seeing Hydra Sw:D'ing sheeps. Then Sw:D'ing a blind.

The skill level has rised Reavan. Even if yours hasn't.

This is vaguely similar to vanishing deathcoils; something people did in classic. I'd be more inclined to believe the general level of the mass publics skill has improved due to whatever reason. There were players in classic who were already this innovative and had the fast response times.

TBC, brah. Doable in Vanilla too iirc, but the game level was waaay behind back then. 80% of the people keyboardturned and clicked.

I HAD SOME SPELLS I CLICKED TOO BACK THEN.

I was using some royally stupid hotkeys back then to be honest. Took me until TBC realise to eradicate QWERTY numbers above 5.

Hey

WoW really takes close to zero skill. I have killed 4 people on my rogue once: pve prot paladin, pve disc priest, pvp shadowpriest and pvp balance druid. You know how it felt? It was a damn faceroll. And keep in mind that rogue is supposedely the 2nd class when it comes to skillcap, 1st being hunters.

WoW has more randomness than planning, more key mashing than caefully laying out your spells and abilities and less thinking than solving a puzzle designed for 1 year old babies. It's bad, really bad. I can safely compare it to a nerdy CoD4 game.

There are so, so few cases where you can do something considered really skillful and usually the people you "own" are badly geared and are still learning the basics of their class or don't use any keybinds at all.

WoW is total !@#$. It's only good when you play with your friends and you all laugh it off.

Nope.

Priests and Warlocks (not destro) require more than both of them.

Others may too.

I think even talking about the skill cap of a class is pointless because you're nowhere near it.

It's amazing how people don't know the difference between being "decent" to "skillcap"

It requries timing,predictions,reactions,tactics,teamwork. if you're actually doing serious pvp(arena) or fight a person with a clue.

if it was so easy, everyone would be at 2.6k rating, if it requried NO SKILL!

Why bump a year old thread for christ sake?

Muppet

Rogue is the most stupid solo class. but takes skill in arena.
