PvP will be a bit more cumbersome in World of Warcraft again. Because you will soon have to do without the most important PvP talent with all characters.
With World of Warcraft Shadowlands , some significant changes are also set to happen in PvP. After a long time, there will finally be vendors again, for instance for conquest points. Unfortunately, this also means that WoW will take away the most important PvP talent from players, robbing them of a fundamental ability in PvP.
What will be changed? With Shadowlands, the selection of possible PvP talents for all characters at the maximum level will be reduced from 4 to 3. The first selection will be removed without replacement. It includes talents that correspond to the typical “Medallion of the Alliance/Horde.” Previously, there was a selection of:
- An active ability with a long cooldown that banishes all loss-of-control effects upon use.
- A passive ability that automatically removes loss-of-control effects lasting longer than 5 seconds with a moderate cooldown.
- A passive ability that generally reduces the duration of all loss-of-control effects by 20%.
These are particularly important abilities in PvP, as most classes can only escape control effects in this way. The correct use of these abilities often determines victory or defeat in arena battles, battlegrounds, and even in open PvP.
Effects now as PvP trinket
Will the effects still exist? Yes, but you must do something for that. There will be the return of PvP trinkets. To obtain the powerful dispel effects, you will need to purchase a trinket from the returning PvP vendor. This will (most likely) be available for conquest points, which must first be earned in PvP.
What does this mean? In plain language, this means that you can now distribute only 3 PvP talents. An effect to remove loss-of-control will no longer be among the options. Those who want to regain this functionality will have to earn sufficient currency in PvP while sacrificing a trinket slot. Just like it was for many years in World of Warcraft – since Vanilla, to be precise.
Do you think it’s good that one has to earn something for the PvP trinkets again? Or should such an important ability remain in the PvP talent system?
