Thread: Patch 4.3 Notes - PvP section

I'm sorta happy with war changes. Inner release removing rage cost is awesome because on demand burst is sorely needed in pvp, and not having useless left over rage is great also. Reducing duration from 10 to 6 is ok. I guess they don't wanna give wars even more dps, so lower the duration means same number of fell cleaves when one starts inner release at full rage. So we basically get the option of om demand burst with 2 cleaves or save up for 4. Which is ok. I like that overall.

Extra 1 sec duration ok inner beast. I dunno. I guess that's cool. Would be great if we could like use it without a target just for the buff and heals. If that were possible it'd be nice

I'd wish they would just remove onslaught Raye cost already and make it 30 sec cast = p

buff monk

ill give you headpats

I m bit sad hyoton nerfed into 2 seconds. It was fun bind tank and melee for 4 second constantly, but I guess it was kinda annoy for opponents.

A bit disappointed they're going to half scholar shields. Coordinated bursts are overwhelming most of the time, and I feel like reducing the shield's potency by 1k will make the class even less desirable than it already is, at least in the North American data centers.

It will be similar to Shatter but less with reliance on PvE enemies. Secure only has one big PvE target.

With the reduced size of the map, it will have a greater emphasis on bases compared to Shatter. Especially on 72-man matches since you have 6 bases instead of just 3 in 24-man. You get 10 points for removing one other team's claim over a base and another 10 points securing it for your team. Only 1 point per tick though compared to bases on Shatter where they give you 2 points per tick. They didn't mention bases in the patch notes so I would assume this weren't changed.

4 second bind would have been pretty much OP when you think about the changes to Bind itself and respawn changes in the Feast.

Where does it say they're reducing the size of Secure's map? From the screenshot, it looks like they've mainly raised the home base to make it easier to defend.

What concerns me is the adjustment to mob placement and timing. If they've shifted it so they start spawning randomly all over the place, it will be indistinguishable from Shatter aside from extra bases in 72-man (which we'll see like once per week). I guess we'll see when it's released, but I hope they haven't changed the mode too much.

at this point Im cringing reading "Bind duration reduced from 4 to 2 seconds."

This is the stuff that adds depth to pvp. Then again, I guess that horse died a long time ago.

The thing it was 4 seconds before it rarely actually lasted 4 seconds because it broke when you sneezed. Now it's actually useful.
