Shadowlands Patch 9.1 PvP has just been released, and as expected, many classes are busted and/or broken. Additionally, the new PvP Gearing system still continues to have issues despite player feedback. Despite all of the recent PvP changes, many bugs still plague several classes.
New patch notes were just released that feature class buffs to all hunter specs as well as fire mages. Indeed, these changes are focused around PvE; however, the mentioned buffs will have a significant impact in PvP. Furthermore, there have been no mention of PvP specific changes.

Subbed for 9.1, unsubbed and refunded 2 weeks in 🤭🤭 ill wait for 10.0 to hit PTR and if there are no class complete reworks – im not coming back. Been playing the legit same classes for coming up to 8years
i watched this expecting another wah wah wah vid, but it was all true
mage are not good now in pvp wtf , dks , war, palys are broken in pvp xd and de fuckings druids
this man is 110% right
Time Gating fun… thats current state of WoW.
I play hunter and mage so imma be flexing on yall with my glad mounts have fun
I usually agree with you stoop but it’s a little weird to be playing a warrior and complaining about the best getting better when warrior has been oppressive for 8 months. Hunter was borderline dumpstered after marksman had its 3rd nerf session during 9.0. Is it stronger now? For sure, is it as strong as warrior, rogue, dh, or hpal? I’d say definitely not. It gets a little old whenever we see hunters in the meta and people lose their shit and get the community to pressure blizzard into reverting buffs or even changing buffs to nerfs like with double tap in 9.0, while rogues are still one shotting people in back to back expansions.
Hey Stoopz,
I have got into arenas in 9.0 thanks to your videos and your answers on twitch. If you ever come to ff14, I would love your take on PvP, and learn how to do it properly from you!
One of the most ridiculous things is old honor gear not being able to be upgraded. Doesn't seem to have the +13 ilvls either.
Started this game for shadowlands after not playing since cataclysm. Was excited at first but blizzard proved they don’t care for the pvp community. The pvp gear farming is atrocious. I miss simply being able to farm full pvp sets after a week or two of honor farming in bgs and then hitting up the armor vendor. Needless to say this game was fun while it lasted, very nostalgic.
Thi started years ago…no we are wandering between some other games and hope for aoc , new world etc. Sad to witness what our game became …
As a PvPer, I feel like you speak for us all. It's actually sad how poor the communication is for PvP. It has to be Ion, surely. The expansions which he has been in charge have been the worst expansions for PvP. Timegating is just laziness to fill the renown void. That time gating should have stayed exactly the same as season 1. So 22 renown to get to rank 7, not 59. You said everything that everyone's been thinking, and we thank you. If only Blizzard listen now. Next expansion/patch better be something special. Otherwise it deserves to be boycotted. People say the PvP community is small. Its not small, it might seem small because players are sick of it being neglected. I am also on the last straw with Blizzard. Its sad. For the first time in over 15 years I am contemplating cancelling my sub, and trying out a new mmo. New World will be one to try, actually looking forward to it.
The energy you put in this video will have zero results. And you know it.

This game wont change. Unfortunatly I come back every expansion for a season or two, and its the same crap.
Its a shame, because arena could be the best.
i cant stand the game anymore
True and still no ranked que system im tired of searching for groups and getting rejected from everything just because I'm not playing the best class or spec. Also can't play, any alts now because I'd have to quit my job just to keep two characters up to par every week
Game is run by "second hand" Diablo "devs", nothing will change until they leave. Hazy first.
This is why I unsubscribed. Their design is linear time-gating, it comes off as though it's a free mobile game trying to maximize playtime at the expense of fun in hoping they'll catch a few whales. It's gross, and it's not the design of the foundation that WoW was built upon.
They should downscale pvp gear in pave environment, so you don’t have any reason tu use pvp gear in raids for example.
so sad to see retail slowly perish. ill be moving on to a new game now.. good video stoopzz.
it a rat race in wow. dont stop login in or you get far behind.
Lol New World beta start in 10 Days.. WoW PvP was never good
i think 99% of all ppl that take pvp serious will agree with you, so I wanna thank you for making this vid and hopefully blizz will see it …
I m glad these changes go to pvp. (BM hunter player, 12 yo)
People need to get over the fact that Activision/Blizzard is not the same company anymore , this is like making complain on the EA forums and you get one of those bots answer your complain ,to put it simple is like talking to a brick wall .
I gave up on pvp in shadowlands. Im going to try and get into some raids and my pvp will probably be just some random bg stuff.
The one shotting is ludicrous. The time gating behind renown creates a huge gear disparity. I made a ret pally specifically just to get the feeling of killing someone in a global.. and it was fun at first. But it is so dumb.
is it just my mistweaver or is the hunt oneshotting again xd
they could buff and nerf pvp / pve seperately but they clearly dont care
I don't know about the rest, but for me and my best friend, we've quit like 3 – 4 months ago. We had enough. PvP is unplayable and Blizzard as always doesn't give a damn.
Don't agree about honor gear. I'm glad its time gated so people who grinded in season 1 get rewarded for their efforts. Patch 9.0.5 was more than long enough for people to catch up. I do feel however that a quick fix for this would be to allow s1 conquest gear to be upgraded with honor to 229. Thus, allowing honor gear to not have time gating.
Affliction lock needs a buff, and Feral instant heals need a nerf.
Holinka isn't a bad guy, but if you watch the interview he had with Venruki before they dropped 9.1 discussing their intentions moving forward with the game… some of the things he talked about raised some serious red flags to anyone with half a brain cell… Ven included. Elliot didn't rebuttal the comments Holinka made which were serious causes for concern, [all of which weren't completely bad] due to the sheer respect of being given the opportunity to bridge the gap between Developer and Player with how they are handling the game we all play. At some point though… the Developer's really need to put aside what they think is best for the game and actually listen and act on what a severely large majority of the community thinks is best for the game. It would be a real shame if "Shadowlands" was the expansion that broke the camel's back, cause there is no other game that plays the same way WoW does… especially for competitive Player vs Player content.
Couldve been worse, imagine they buff warrior and DK even more
