Is there any point in leveling a PvP-only alt on Onyxia instead of playing on Blackrock?
Hi there,
I main a prot warrior on Onyxia and really enjoy doing pve with it and will start pvp soon. Recently, I created a rogue as an alt so I could solo-queue PvP whenever my friends weren’t online.
However, after investing a lot of time in this rogue, I’m starting to wonder whether it was a pointless effort. I’ve leveled it up to 80, geared it up, farmed the full Eviscerator set and a few Deadly Gladiator pieces, yet I still get absolutely destroyed in both battlegrounds and arenas.
At this point, I’m wondering whether I should’ve simply created the rogue on Blackrock instead.
The problem is that I actually enjoy leveling and gradually progressing a character. Learning how to play it in the process, etc... However, being handed an instant level 80 with a complete PvP setup feels like this whole Onyxia grind is wasted.
So I have a few questions:
- Is there any practical reason to level another character on Onyxia if I intend to use it exclusively for PvP?
- Can you completely disable cross-realm pvp? Getting matched with kitted icecrown premades is absolutely insane to me
- Since Blackrock doesn’t have Wintergrasp or VoA, does Onyxia offer a better or faster long-term gearing path?
- How much meaningful gear progression is there on Blackrock after creating an instant level 80?
- Would it make more sense to test unfamiliar classes on Blackrock first, then level them on Onyxia only if I really enjoy them or decide that I also want to PvE?
- Is the most sensible approach simply to play PvE/PvP characters on Onyxia and keep strictly PvP-only characters on Blackrock?
Anyone playing on both Onyxia and Blackrock?
Thanks for reading
