SEASON 4 PVP DISCUSSION


We would also like to take this opportunity to talk to you about PVP in season 4, what our thoughts and plans are.

Even though we want to be as blizzlike as we can, we're also aware of the inherent differences that exist between Firestorm and retail: not all information regarding spells is easily found (that includes PVP mods), some bugs can induce a pretty important power shift in certain classes and as a whole, some generic stuff do not work, and thus do not feel exactly the same.

Ideally, regardless of the class, or the specialization you wish to play in PVP, there should be a possibility for you to climb the ladder: no one should be prevented from obtaining a high rating just because of the "patch limitations" of his class, even if that was the case on retail. That doesn't necessarily mean reaching the top of the top, but at least it should feel good and relatively fair to play the class you like, because you would have a chance to win if you're better than your opponents.

On top of that some items, essences or corruptions bear way too much power and make it less about skill, but more about having the right combination of spells: while it's important to remain "stronger" if you have better / more optimized gear, essences or corruptions it shouldn't translate to that much of a power gap we see sometimes.

With that being said, we plan on doing 2 major things:

  • Applying custom PVP tweaks to certain classes, or specializations depending on their state: a class that is strugling could get a 10% damage increase, while a rspec that is too overpowered could get -10% for example.
  • Applying custom PVP nerfs to items / essences / corruptions that hold too much power, to give back space to player skills and class mastery.


As of right now, nothing like this has been made yet but it might in the future, depending on what we see in PVP. You will be notified about those changes ! The goal isn't to stealthily make a class super OP or to break another one but to try and restore a bit of balance into all that. Since classes are in their final BFA state (aside from spell fixes that are still applied, there won't be any patch changes) this can be done slowly, and reviewed frequently. Stay on the lookout for those tweaks, as they could be a good opportunity for you to introduce your forgotten [insert weak class here] to the world of rated PVP !

Thank you for your time, and we'll see you soon,
The Firestorm Team
