Quote:And I'll just rebanish the next pet.
Really, you think I'm going to sit there doing nothing while you banish? Time spent casting + interrupts = time you're being feared and/or pounded on by spells. Where's your destruction while busy being interrupted while banishing?
Quote:Let's see, you just pulled out 3 pets during that exchange.
That's displaying options for any pet.
Quote:Do you honestly think, that in a group instance you're going to need that trinket that much?
You're the one who brought it up, straw man.
Quote: Both sides have a number of ways of dropping a fear/mez effect from Shamans dropping grounding totems or using purge, Priests using dispell, Pallies using Cleanse,
Purge doesn't work on friendlies. Grounding totems are costly, can be destroyed, or simply lured away from. Cleanse and Dispel don't work on self while feared. Don't you understand the word interrupt, as in, interrupting heals.
Quote:various other means of dropping one of these effects? Fear is not going to stop someone from running.
Obviously you've never seen there power of controlled fear + snare, or feared into your group.
Quote:Who's talking about using Bandaids or Dispells?
You. See above.
Quote: Ever heard of healing potions?
Limited supply. Total waste in pvp servers, and also on a cooldown.
Quote:And if you're dealing with smart opponent(s),
Obviously, you aren't one of them. Oh now you think dots are front loaded damage do you? Get a life. You've totally bashed dots throughout as 'no good' in pvp damage and Ruin does not improve your dot damage.
Quote:Have you ever had a Rogue Blind you and then proceed while you're blinded to kill you pet and then start thrashing you?
Heart of Noxxion. Wonderful field trinket. Again, only desperate rogues blind, or even bother to to kill pet. Attacking felhunter is a waste of time too. I'm happy when they do, because they lose 200 att power while I can dot and health funnel. Succubi will just charm the rogue, voidwalker can be sacrificed before dead, and imp? Imp should not be on defensive all the time. They're untargettable and most rogues can't don't even consider selecting them. Also, when rogues attack they pet, they aren't building combo points against you, thus losing a lot of power against you.
In a group, I sure hope they waste time on my massive health and pets.
1v1, if they've wasted enough time and resources to sap/blind, they must think themselves a weak rogue. No self-respecting rogue will blind until they need to, and that's to escape/restealth/bandage.
Quote: Demon isn't going to save you in that build anymore than any other build. Smart Rogues know to drop our pets first while we're blinded and then drop us, demonolgy speced or not.
Blind only lasts 8-10 seconds, doesn't work vs imps on passive (which it should be in any precise battle), limited use against voidwalkers, gets them charmed against succubi, and weakens them against felhunters. All the while, they're losing opportunity to build combo points and lost 1/3 a fadeleaf. Financial loss, limited carry-able resource loss, and limited use. Hmm. No, smart rogues will focus on you, not your pet. If they really wanted to kill you, they'd use their sprint/prep cooldowns, and prep crippling poisons.
Also, first pet dying isn't a problem with fel domination. With that, only costs 100 mana now, and half a second to cast.
Quote:With a Demon build you can't have Exhaustion,
Duh. All this time, I've said Dark pact or Demon, or any hybrid combination without Ruin. I'm fully aware of the limitations of Soul Link. They're irrelevant compared to the limited utility of Ruin in PvP without improved SP to raise +crit to a reasonable level.
