Too bad I know that I'm right about it, so it doesn't really matter if you claim to be right. Reaction time and situational awareness is entirely dependent on the speed at which your brain can process information, it has very little to do with how you choose to apply it.

Wrong. Practice changes your ability level in those areas. PvE can't compare to PvP as a practice platform.

I've never noticed any increase or decrease in my reaction times and situational awareness dependent upon which type of gameplay I'm doing. I've played a lot of PvP games and a lot of PvE games and in both cases I'm quick to react and I'm very aware with little difference in the two.

Does PvE require reaction time? It never has for me. Download Deadly Boss Mods... it tells you what to do. PvE requires "pre-planning" not reaction time. This is why you can watch TV and talk to the wife while killing raid bosses. Has this changed in Cataclysm? Does PvE all of a sudden require ninja-like reflexes?

Because PvP is unscripted (#of players, player actions, terrain, etc.), it requires a little more on-the-fly thought IMO.

Whee!!


Same thread, different expansion...


Anyone pretending like the overwhelmingly vast majority of max level characters running around in PvP gear in dungeons aren't terribad newbs is doing just that - pretending. This is ESPECIALLY true this late into an expansion when the "next set" of PvP gear outpaces the blue normal instance gear that hasn't changed since the expansion went live.

That said, the community in WoW is growing worse by the month lol.

Everyone playing WoW knows everything about playing two classes: 1) their own and 2) Hunters

Yea, I don't see where anybody said anything about gear as far as the PvE/P debate. Mechanical skills, spatial awareness, adaptive ability...that's where we were at.
