fissure druid isnt mana intensive so ull nvr run out and be unable to duel like a fb sorc will.

also in tvt u r a 1.6k+ life meatshield tank god for your team?

fissure is 10x better than fb im sorry lol

For me looks quite same

Depends on what you are trying to accomplish. Fissure is a good option for dps against the entire opposing team, as well as defending an ally against a charger. A FB sorc is much better at dealing with a zon. They are much more aggressive than a fissure druid, and chilling armour is often underestimated vs jab.

Fissure druids are easier to get high life rep on, but my fb sorc in 2009 had 40+ rep depending on the set up

if you are talking tvt, in the lvl 18 bracket, you would choose a fissure on your team anytime, and i can defend my reasoning why with very common sense.

you say fissure is better between the 2 if defending against charger, well, charger is literally one of the most common 18s and with the people who play 18s still to this day, you are bound to be facing an opposing charger in just about any tvt you take part in.

you say fb is better vs zon but i disagree completely because fber can get shooped by charger much easier while trying to track down the bowa, the bowa can also pick off fber quicker than a 1.6k-2k life fissure druid. and bowa is 2nd most common 18 after charger, in 2019 you should always assume that in 4v4 18s, 2 of the 4 u r facing will be a zon/charger combo, and druid is a much better option as a partner vs that combo.


i will agree fb is semi viablo its just not the proper meta choice for a fire dmg char here in 2019, you'd want fissure in just about any situation besides certain 1v1s.

I found a good fb more dangerous to deal with and a good druid a bigger pain in the ass to kill.

Fbs tankiness is better exploited playing offensively whereas fissure tankiness is better defensively.

Both have a place in tvt. We should get some 18s going on europe again. Been too many 30s lately.

i 2nd the part ab out getting 18s going again, we have a decent size crowd for it on east again can get 3v3 on a good day
i would love to have access to a nice fissure druid on europe tho. i have access to 18 fissure/18 charger on east nl

in tvt vs charger bowa combo tho, where bowa has might aura, i rly do feel fissure is more useful, if not for its AOE dmg, then also its meat shield aspect, plus oaking the party
also not as mana intensive which in 18s is a huge bonus.

and thats my opinion in tvt 18s in todays meta, not the past.

todays meta is nothing but zon/charger neways, u will want a tank on ur team with AOE low mana intensive dmg, plus oak for life and high base life for tanking.

Unfortunately charger bowa is the most common combo and fissure is better there for sure.

Thankfully we have a nice mix of chars on eu and no one really mains a pala other than skull these days.

4 user(s) are reading this topic: KyushU, Skullflower, LaochraGael, yeawhatup


^ hehe
xD

yeah its been ages the last time i euro 18'd with you guys was w hen i had access to bonnerf4 guest with its 18 fissure idk if u still have one or not,
but yeah i was giving my opinion based on east nl meta, and we have like 2x pallys minimum in 3v3s. sometimes more than 2 at once.

I lost a good few chars due to blizzards lovely new refresh policy but i think the fissure is still around. Ill take a look.

I should still have a fissure, or parts of one. I'm sure we can build a share one without any problems
