TOR by far. When it comes to class balance wow is so far away from the mark it's funny, even after 7 years. I played wow for 6 years and I lost count of the amount of times they failed to balance classes. They made arenas to try and get wow accepted as an "e-sport" along side games like CS, but as they couldn't balance it no one accepted it.

But then neither are pvp focused games, if you want a proper pvp "MMO" then play something like global agenda or Eve.

Plus Huttball just blows away anything wow has had to offer for pvp content.

It casts Flash Heal when I move my mouse over a player in the raid frame on that player. It does not play the game for me, it does not kill you instadead, it does not make me a cup of tea, It does not kill everything in the zone you're in while I pop to the kitchen to make more tea, it performs a simple function that should have been implemented into the game from the start instead of taking me back to the old ways I had to work with in FFXI.... Get over your hate of macros, they will not hurt you.

I think that S3/S4 was the most balanced seasons, along with S8. There was alot of fotm comps etc all these seasons, but you still had the fact that most people on the top were still great players, regardless of what comp they were playing.


Warrior/druid completely dominated s3/4, and s8 was wizards...

IMO these were some of the least balanced seasons.

it makes the game easier for you to play, but really isnt needed.

what's wrong with clicking on the target and pressing your heal?
is that too much to ask for?

Atleast in wow when fast kills like that happen good players actually have the tools to stop it from happening in the first place. The only big problem they are faced with atm is end game pve gear causing problems this season.

Can't even argue with the fact that there are delays in actions in swtor and gameplay in wow is smooth. Definitely a high priority problem that needs to be fixed soon.
A frost mage is more OP than a BH. Just going to inform you of this.

Also look at vanilla warlocks.

PvP is about reactions, wasting a second clicking on your name in my raid frame to target you means you die faster than you needed to, if I need to get that heal off now moving my mouse to target you wasted time.
