Current meta is incredibly broken, but do you know what 1 change could instantly make it better

Revert the 5s of 100% crit chance buff on Onslaught to work in PvP. That single change would allow a lot more builds to deal enough burst damage to kill tank WWs and DKs. Sure, DK can use it too, but DK is already one shotting people anyway. Having Onslaught grant 100% crit would actually bridge the gap between those meta classes. Thoughts?

    I'd prefer a slolution not being tied to only 2 specific ults.

    It was removed for a reason. An ultimate with 100% Pen and 100% Crit attached to it would instantly become the only ultimate used in PvP.

    This was already tested in PvP on the PTS. It was absurdly strong.

    But it was the only ultimate that could let a normal PvP build 1 shot DKs. DKs were one shotting people with or without that ult. And yes, I have tested that ult on the PTS to come to this conclusion

    I know the state of pvp is a bit of a joke as to delegitimize the game in players eyes, it certainly did that for me. But the meta is also more diverse than it has been in a while. And yeah that meta is basically just ww, dk, sorc and the occasional warden while other classes lay in the wayside but hey, thats literally better than what we had before the update. And this part is obviously anectodal but im enjoying this patch more than the last couple ones, both ww and dk are extremely fun to play rn.

    You said that meta is dk ww and sorc. As far as I remember sorc is BEFORE rework. Why it is meta then? Why other classes have to wait, while sorcerer is already meta?

    Do you understand it is unfair?

    Is Zos aware of this?

    What is the reason of the above?

    What will be sorc state after rework? Uber OP?

    Sorc was also good before this patch. Well not pure sorc ofc, subclassed sorc but you get the point.

    Also more stuff being viable is always better in my book. My only wish is that more classes were viable alongside them. Sorc is hard carried by its class masteries and we knew it was gonna be the case in pts. My one gripe with sorc is that i can make a borderline cheatlike basically unkillable build on it but i dunno if i wanna risk getting a perma ban for a short thrill.

    As far as I know you just need to spam block button for unkillable sorc.

    Yeah you can take that idea which is already exploitey and get it somewhere where i think a perma ban is pretty likely if used. All i need is a confirmation from Zos that that interaction is intended
