PVP Medallion Trinket: Will we ever replace it?

[nubbey]

With all of the new trinkets in 2.3, do you guys ever see a point where you might use double attack power trinkets instead of the medallion? I mean, it's nice, but I'm not one to stick to the status quo for no good reason.

For instance, combining Berserker's Call (90ap+360 on use) and the 80 ap 1750 hp trinket? I think this could potentially be viable if the damage you'd gain from however much AP outweighs the amount of damage you'd gain from trinketing a CC. The extra ap would be nice, especially if you have tons of dispels (aka 5v5)...but what about that intangible factor? Those times that you get cc'd out of line of sight next to an enemy at 5% health or something?

Blind will be a physical effect that has to be bop'd off or trinketed, you are gonna want your trinket.

[nubbey]

well, there's alot more to it than that--in 5s if we're fighting a rogue team i'm typically the target, and they blind a healer in order to kill me. In addition, you can grab the stealth detection buff midgame--it applies a dot to you that breaks CC.

And if you're the target of a rogue team you don't want to trinket that KS to get the hell out of there?

I would never get rid of the medallion in any bracket, but I could see myself using the last stand one for 3's or 5's based on warrior burst teams. I know 2.3 will have many hindrances in store for 4dps teams.

[Kazimir]

yeah, the burst build teams will have a lot of trouble with the new pvp trinkets. that being said, ill never get rid of the medallion, 20 free resil and 2 min cd for the win.

Medallions are the most valuable thing you can have in PvP.

[krezi]

evertime i get cced with someone at 20% im going to want my medallion

My season 1 team my warrior used Bloodlust brooch and the one that drops in BM. Dispels were generally plentiful and he'd destroy people. I dunno it's pretty viable I think you're generally getting dispelled and if you do it right that 5% guy will be dead before you get cced vs. if you didn't have it. Just image that every time a guy is at 1% he'd be dead.

In 2v2 I sometimes use Quagmirran's Eye and Icon of the Silver Crescent, and it's working just as well as using a PvP trinket would. In most matchups the trinket really doesn't do much - ever used a trinket to escape a rogue? Futility at its best. All warriors I've faced for the last ****ing ages have stormherald so no way to run once they're stuck on me, and I'm not really worried about mages or warlocks in the first place. Loads of the CC I would otherwise trinket I can generally devour anyways.

That being said, there are times I am glad to have the trinket - 3v3 and some days of 2v2. It really depends what teams are playing. Quagmirran's eye proc is just sweet for drain matchups, and the "burst" offered by the icon is amazing for putting pressure on a healer.

[Alysana]

I really wish they'd make an epic version of the Medallion, maybe from arena points or such because it's certainly the best trinket you can get for PvP, I never take it off unless I'm doing instances really.

[Graviak]

As a Warrior running with a shaman, i think it is the most valuable trinket in game,... brrr actually i wish it on a 2 seconds CD when fighting those damn druids.

[Sylvar]

I'd rather take off my armour and pvp naked then to try and do it without my trinket.

[Conradical]

Wow, look at that.

Your team STILL only has 86 games.

[nubbey]

Wow, look at that.

Your team STILL only has 86 games.

yeah, because we dominated everyone and then pushed ourselves for a big advantage, and now we're taking time to have lives. if this offends you, i don't care, lol

anyway, i just think i might give determination/berserker's call a try for a while, as it'll add up to a ton of damage over the course of a game. it's basically being able to break a cc at a certain point vs consistent damage improvement over the course of the game. in 5s, we have dispellers, so it's not quite so vital.

that's not to stay i'll stick with it, but i'll def. try it.

[Zabuza]

It's the only blue i wear.. I have to represent the people with no epics!

[Xyo]

Wow, look at that.
