Wizards in WoW Classic should steer clear of shamans, even when victory seems certain. What can go wrong is evident here…
“True” PvP is currently not available in WoW Classic, as the PvP system has not been implemented. However, there are always small skirmishes in the open world on PvP servers, where players from the Horde and Alliance trade blows. These battles also reveal how strange the balance between the different classes can be and how much luck can play a role. This leads to amusing moments, like this encounter between a shaman and a wizard.
that just happened from r/classicwow
What is happening here? An Orc shaman was just wandering through the Felwood and had won a small PvP fight against an unknown gnome. This had reduced his health points to about 75% and his mana to about 25% – not a good starting point for another fight. However, an Alliance wizard seizes the opportunity and starts bombarding the shaman with Frostbolts. Slowed down, the shaman tries to flee as his health points drop to a few percent.
Standing on houses is strictly forbidden in the PvP of WoW Classic, by the way.
Since he is out of the wizard’s range, the wizard blinks behind him – right into melee range. Less than 2 seconds later, the wizard has lost 95% of his health points and is dealt the death blow by an approaching elemental, while the shaman remains victorious with little life left.
What exactly happened? At first glance, one might be puzzled how the shaman managed to break through the wizard’s Ice Barrier and all health points in less than 2 seconds – after all, both players were level 60 and thus “evenly matched”.
The shaman cleansed the wizard’s Ice Barrier and was then able to land a single melee hit. However, this triggered the 20% chance of Windfury, which causes two additional melee attacks with extra attack power to be executed. Followed by an Earth Shock, this results in the shaman dealing nearly 2,000 damage, bringing the wizard to the brink of death.
A failed gank attempt, but an impressive demonstration of why a wizard should never blink into melee range of a melee class.
Have you also had such PvP situations that completely turned around in a matter of seconds?
