What does RDD mean in games? General overview of RDD fighters in the Legion! Damage Tactics
Perhaps this is one of the most discussed topics on all official and fan forums - who has it easier - RDD or militia? Most recently, Wyatt Cheng shared his views on this topic, as well as his upcoming plans:Quote Blizzard employees
I'll start with what, in my opinion, this moment there really is a discrepancy between melee fighters (MCD) and fighters ranged(rdd). I think I've talked a lot about the game design philosophy and haven't mentioned that we actually see these inconsistencies because now people will again assume that we think everything is good and nothing bad is happening. No. I will repeat: at the moment the correspondence between the MDD and RDD is incorrect, changes will be made, and even if you do not agree with the above, we have a very large number of feedback that this situation requires our attention.
It may not be as noticeable, but a very large number of changes in 1.0.3 are aimed at closing the gap between RDD and MDD. Let me tell you a little about this.
Quote Blizzard employees
Hardcore (xc)
Let's start with the hardcore. In general, on hardcore there is much less inconsistency between classes. On Hardcore, the ratio of classes progressing to Inferno is even. Why is it important? What is this connected with? This is because the main difference between DMD and RDD is that RDD can progress very quickly, even dying. If an MDD runs into a crowd and surrenders there, he will do virtually no damage to elite opponents. Rdd will be able to kite, destroy mountains of HP, die, respawn, and destroy more mountains of HP. In the realities of HC, any unsuccessful mortar, vortex, jailer or reflex will kill a character like “Glass Cannon”, which is why there is such a big dominance of RDD here, as in softcore.
Repair fee
One of the innovations is an increase in repair fees. The main purpose of this innovation is to make death more tangible for the player. One of the most common counterarguments to this innovation is “I’m already dying a million times to move a centimeter along Inferno. If you increase the repair fee significantly, progress in Inferno will no longer be possible for me.” And, characteristically, we almost always hear this counterargument from the RDD – glass cannons. Most melee players say that "increased repair costs are something we can live with" since they don't use deathzerg tactics. This innovation will lead to a decrease in the effectiveness of such a strategy for RDD.
Enemy health and damage
We also plan to slightly revise the damage and health of monsters in Acts 2-4 on Inferno. This innovation is again aimed initially at MDD, but RDD will also receive bonuses here. Many RDD build their build according to the principle: “Well, let’s pray that we don’t hit even once.” And in general, street roads are hit much, much less often than miles. Therefore, the reduction in incoming damage is not very significant for RDD, but for melee it is a very, very big plus. I'm hoping these changes will give survival gear more traction with RDDs because it will finally make sense. Because when the damage was so great, it was absolutely pointless to try to reduce it in any way, other than to go into full defense. I hope the situation will change with the upcoming changes.
Damage reduction in co-op
Another change aimed at making life easier for melee players is a reduction in damage in cooperative games. Once again, since most RDDs make a glass cannon build and try to completely eliminate damage to themselves, they actually don’t care that the damage of monsters will increase - and so it’s a one-shot, and so it’s a one-shot, but MDD is very well noticed when they join the game new player, because before this life-on-hit allows you to stand in the crowd and tank, but as soon as +1 appears, your glutton can no longer cover the HP loss from hits and you look at the red monitor.
Additional changes
And finally, there are many not so global, but still pleasant moments for the mile - such as changes in the behavior of some monsters (BEES!!!). Now they will run away from you much less often. I specifically spent a lot of time making sure that if a bee flies away from you and you are chasing it, it won't suddenly turn around and shoot 4 bees in a row at you. We are also working to ensure that when you move away from the blow of Dark Berserker's hammer, it does not turn after you (although we are unlikely to have time to make this change in 1.0.3). Changes of this kind will not even be noticed by the RDD, and the miles will definitely attract attention.
Another change we are making is that we are increasing the maximum range and dead zone of monsters with the Mortar affix. This affix was originally intended to be an anti-RDD, but most RDDs can simply stand outside of its range and shoot, shoot, shoot, while many melee units sometimes get caught in the crossfire of two nearby mortars. So this change is also meant to make life easier for miles.
Rdd - comes from the English phrase ranged damage dealer and is translated as causing damage at a distance. What is RDD in online games? These are character classes that attack from a distance - archers, hunters, rangers and all types of mages.
Rdd in the game is a weakly protected character with a small amount of health. As a rule, he wears light armor made of leather or fabric, and is armed with a bow or staff. His ranged attacks deal high damage, but in close combat he becomes almost defenseless. To slightly remove this imbalance, rdd has several controls - slow, stun and others.
Basic stats
For rangers and archers, the main stat is agility. They must shoot quickly, penetrate armor, score critical hits, and dodge enemy attacks. In most games, all these parameters are somehow related to dexterity, so heroes with bows and crossbows primarily level it up. Secondary parameters should contribute to survival - first of all, this is evasion, then armor, and various types of resistance to magic.
For magicians and other casters, the main stat is intelligence. They must deal high damage with spells and put up magic shields if they receive damage. Secondary parameters should increase the amount of mana and HP, increase the casting speed and critical damage from spells.
Role in the group
It’s easy to guess that the main role of the rdd in a group or raid comes down to throwing arrows and spells at the enemy from behind the melee fighters standing in front. In most cases, they are required to damage monsters and, but without over-aggravating them on themselves, since the archer or magician will very quickly die from the blows.
Damage, or DPS for short, is one of the most common roles in World of Warcraft, and is divided into two broad groups:Characters that deal damage to enemies standing next to them, or as we say, in melee combat.
Characters who deal damage to enemies at a distance from them.
Get ready to face some tough competition when choosing this role in World of Warcraft. Here are some of the most basic principles of playing as a ranged fighter:
Give out as much damage as possible.
Choose the right place from where you will deal with enemies, and at the same time do not stand where it is dangerous.
In raids, if tactics do not oblige, stand away from other participants.
Focus on the main targets, killing them as quickly as possible, this will make life easier for tanks and healers.
Overview of healing and healing specializations in Legion
Legion
In general, the role of DPS in Legion has not changed at all from previous expansions, the behavior in this role remains the same, however, the mechanics of some of the classes have been changed, their abilities have been updated or completely redesigned. The changes are expressed in reworked and new talents, and in the form of newly introduced features in artifact weapons. In Legion, each spec will receive a unique artifact that grants a new active ability almost immediately after you acquire it. In addition to the active one, by spending artifact power on this weapon, you can unlock 3 large and a number of small passive abilities. Damage Tactics
Today, unlike the recent past, it is no longer a secret to anyone how to produce the maximum damage with your class. If you met your class not long ago, better place to study and understand it is outside the game. Read the guides for your class to learn the basics, this will give you the right foundation for playing as it, and by developing in the right direction, you can get the most out of your class!
Once you know the basics of the class you're going to play for, there's only one thing left to do: Play. No longer invented The best way increase your damage rather than constantly playing, dealing damage over and over again, learning to get the maximum out of it on automatic, this will greatly help you in dungeons and raids, where you should focus on the features of the battle and the mechanics of the boss, and not on “what spell should I cast?” should I play next?"
What kind of DPSers do they like?
Being a DPS is not all fun and games. Although we have fewer responsibilities than tanks and healers, we still have them and, if we do not fulfill them, this can lead to further big problems these tanks and healers, or, in principle, to wipe, but we don’t want that, right?So, if you are a fighter, what kind of fighter should you be?
Be respectful! - Going on your first adventures as a fighter, you, of course, are unlikely to be in your best shape. Don't be afraid to admit it, let the group know that you are new to your role and if there is any advice for you, you will definitely listen to it, there is no shame in that! Keep this in mind constantly, perhaps in the future you will be able to help some other beginner.
DO NOT STAND IN THE FIRE! - (The word fire means "anything that deals damage while you stand in it") You may have heard this phrase hundreds of times, and you can even survive a few ticks of this fire by walking through it, still don't do it! Why is that? The first reason is that dead DPS does 0 damage, we don’t want that, right? The second reason is that even if you don’t die, additional healing will be required for you, which can lead to the death of someone in your group, for example a tank, because you diverted the healer’s attention to yourself, and this will lead to a wipe of the entire raid. The third reason is that if you have already established the habit of standing in fire, when leaving it is extremely important, it will stick with you and you will continue to stand in it, for which you will be kicked out of groups/raids.
Choose who you want to kill wisely - In most raid battles and dungeon battles, new enemies - also called adds - will appear throughout the fight - they are usually much easier to kill and are higher priority to kill than the bosses themselves. Thus, be sure to switch your damage to adds, even if it risks you losing DPS.
Stand inside the healing/useful zones - exactly the opposite advice to the second. Many of the healers have spells that create healing zones on the ground, standing in which you are passively healed. If you suddenly find one of these nearby, be sure to stand in it! In addition, in some battles there will be special zones in which you will receive additional bonuses. Before the battle, be sure to check with the dungeon log what type of zones you will encounter during the battle, so as not to get confused!
Wait before you start damaging a new target - remember that you are not a tank. Let the tank aggro the adds and bosses as they appear first, otherwise they will aggro on you and make short work of you. Simply put, start attacking when the target's attention is drawn to one of your tanks.
While fulfilling all the above points, do not forget to inflict the maximum possible damage - last, but not least, I will repeat the main goal of our role. Even if you master the mechanics of the boss, he needs to be killed within the allotted time frame, so never forget to deal damage, this is very important.
Which Ranged DPS should I play?
Bad news! I can't answer this question, I'm sorry. Good news! I can help you make your own choice! All available RDD classes are worth choosing. Even if someone now says that class/specialization A or B is not in the best shape right now, this will not always be the case. If my goal is to help you choose, choose the one that suits your playstyle and you like more than others, no matter for what reason, the spells look cooler, you like the history of the class, whatever. Don't let the "pick of the month" influence your decision unless you change characters like gloves.Below is a list of the main features of each ranged class and some basic understanding of it. For more detailed information, be sure to read the guides, the list of which is above.
Druid
Druids in World of Warcraft are considered a "jack of all trades" class - they can take on any role they wish, they have the wealthiest gaming style. Choosing this class means that if you are tired of your, say, current role as a melee fighter, you can always try yourself in another role without changing and leveling up another character! From tank to healer, and even melee fighter, Druids can handle it all!Basic mechanics
The main mechanic of the Druid is transformation. Depending on the role he plays, the druid has a special form of beast for this purpose. RDDs gain access to Moonkin Form, you turn into a moonkin/moonkin (you may have already met similar players while swinging and even killed some of them). If you don't like being a chicken, there is always Glyph of Stars to change this form to the astral one.
Resource: To attack, munkins use a variety of spells, all of which are themed around nature. The main resource is Astral Power, which is accumulated by some spells, such as Solar Wrath, and spent by others, such as Starfall.
Situational abilities:
As a Druid, Munkin have a number of extremely useful abilities for the group:
Rebirth - combat resurrection;
Solar Beam - an interrupt that lasts as long as the target is in the affected area;
Barkskin - a cooldown that reduces the damage you receive will help you survive;
Dash - to speed up you will have to take Cat Form, you will not be able to deal damage, but you will survive;
Remove Corruption - a spell that removes damage and poisons, useful if your group does not have a healer with a similar ability;
Innervate - for 10 seconds, the healer in your group will cast spells without costing mana.
Affinity - These three talents fit perfectly into the image of the druid as a "jack of all trades", allowing him/her to perform the functions of another without changing the current role.
Mighty Bash - stuns the target for 5 seconds.
Mass Entanglement - entangles all targets in the selected area with roots for 20 seconds, damage interrupts this effect.
Typhoon - knocks down all enemies in front of the drood and causes them to become dizzy for 6 seconds.
You enjoy being useful to the group by casting spells that benefit them.
You are tempted by the idea of playing a double role
Hunter
Hunters are a unique RDD class in World of Warcraft. He is the only non-magical ranged fighter who uses bows and guns. The Hunter has various shots and poisons that place debuffs on enemies, and they scatter traps to damage/slow/immobilize their enemies.Basic mechanics
The first thing that comes to mind when it comes to hunters is, of course, pets. Although not only hunters have pets, they play an important role in this class. The hunter can tame more than 50 different types of pets, each pet belongs to its own family and gives various bonuses to its owner and his group. From boosting stats to being resurrected in battle, pets can handle it all.
Resource: As stated, Hunter is the only ranged unit that deals physical damage, so most of their attacks have no cast time. The only limiting action and main resource is Focus. Focus is mechanically similar to the energy of Rogue a and Monk a, but it recovers much slower. Therefore, the hunter has abilities that restore concentration.
Damage Boost: Depending on the specialization, the hunter has various damage-increasing abilities, for example, the Beast Mastery has Bestial Wrath and in the shooting specialization the Trueshot ability and a couple of abilities in the talents, Stampede for the Beast Master.
Situational abilities:
The Hunter has a variety of group-useful abilities, some of which are available in various specializations:
Feign Death - Resets your threat to zero and leaves the fight. Does not make you immune to combat mechanics such as ground fire;
Disengage - You jump back a long distance, can be used to avoid taking damage when falling;
Camouflage - Reduces the distance at which enemies will notice you;
Misdirection - Redirects the threat you receive to the selected target, the ability can help tanks with gaining threat and collecting new adds;
Distracting Shot is an extremely useful taunt if you need to kite a target.
Flare - Detects all hidden and invisible opponents in the specified area;
Counter Shot
Concussive Shot - Causes the target to become dizzy and slow down by 50%;
Freezing Trap is a trap that freezes a target caught in it for 1 minute; any damage interrupts the freezing.
You like collecting animals.
Do you enjoy playing as a mobile character?
Mage
Mages are classic mages/wizards from role playing games and other stories. They command the powers of arcane, fire and ice magic, their abilities depend on the school of magic they choose. Each specialization - Arcane, Fire, Ice - has access to unique spells and mechanics, they are all unique. Outside of combat, all specializations have many common useful spells; a mage can place portals to cities, create food for himself and his group.Basic mechanics
In general, it cannot be said that a magician is good at only one thing; each of his specializations is different from the others. In one, you deal with single enemies with strong spells, leaving no empty space behind them. In another, you are strong against several enemies, with excellent passive damage to them and their temporary slow. In the third, you rely on critical damage, dealing more and more damage as your stats increase, your enemies go up in flames and burn alive, and the fire easily spreads to other targets.
Resource: Each specialization has its own resources and ways to generate them:
Arcane magic (arcanum):
Arcane Charge is the main resource of arcanes, with each stack you deal more and more damage, the resource determines your rotation and acceleration time to cast spells. Each spell either generates or has a chance of generating Arcane Charges.
Fire: The specialization does not have a direct resource like Arcane, but instead uses Heating Up/Hot Streak, which are generated by spell critical hits.
Ice: Also does not have a direct resource, but there are two triggered effects that change your rotation: Brain Freeze and Fingers of Frost.
Damage Boost: Common to all specializations will be the Time Warp ability, which has a common cooldown for your entire group/raid. In addition, each specialization has unique counterparts. Arcana has Arcane Power and Evocation, fire has Combustion, and ice has Frozen Orb and Icy Veins. There are also damage amplification abilities available in talents, such as Arcane Orb and Comet Storm, and a couple common to all specializations, Rune of Power and Unstable Magic.
Situational abilities:
Mages use a variety of both combat and non-situational abilities:
Blink - instant teleportation several meters forward;
Invisibility / Greater Invisibility - Resets all threat within a few seconds, making the magician invisible;
Ice Block - You do not take damage, all negative effects are removed from you, but you become motionless and cannot perform actions;
Dragon's Breath (Fire) - Disorientation of targets for a short period of time;
Cone of Cold (Ice) - Slows down nearby targets for a short period of time;
Counterspell - Interrupts the casting of a spell;
Spellsteal - You steal a buff from the enemy;
Polymorph - Turn the target into a sheep, it loses control over itself;
Frost Nova - Opponents around you freeze;
Various teleports - Teleports you/creates a teleport to the main ones game cities and locations;
Conjure Refreshment / Conjure Refreshment Table - Create food for yourself/your group.
You love having portals to any of the major cities in the game at your fingertips.
You like to choose how you want to deal damage.
You enjoy being helpful in a group.
You don't mind changing your specialization from time to time depending on the specifics of the battle.
Priest
Priests of darkness use the power of faith and their intellect to inflict pain and suffering on their enemies. Most of their spells involve either damaging the minds of their opponents, weakening them with each blow of a powerful and ancient force drawn from the Void. As with other specs, they can also heal their allies, but if they are not focused on it, they deal much more damage. Priests of darkness can transform the torment of their enemies into the salvation of their allies using vampiric rituals.Basic mechanics
The specialization of the priest of Darkness is primarily distinguished by the ability Voidform, which allows the priest to physically immerse himself in the forces of the Void, giving him a translucent appearance, he becomes the living embodiment of the Abyss. With a couple of tentacles and effects.
Resource: Shadow Orbs are the main priest resource in the Shadow specialization. Most actions performed by priests generate Insanity. Collecting all Shadow Orbs unlocks the use of Void Eruption, which then activates Voidform. The more you are in Voidform, the faster speed casting spells. However, during it, your Shadow Orbs begin to fly apart, faster and faster over time, until it reaches 0, then the Voidform is deactivated.
Damage Boost: While your spells are on cooldown, the shadow priest cannot perform many actions, only summon Shadowfiend. With talents, the choice becomes richer, new different options appear: Shadow Word: Void, Dominant Mind, Power Infusion, Shadow Crash, Mindbender and, last but not least, Surrender to Madness, the only 10-minute cooldown in the game to increase damage!
Situational abilities:
Since the other two specializations are healing, some of the shadow specialization's spells can heal, others have their own effects:
Vampiric Embrace - Converts your damage from Shadow spells into healing for your party;
Mass Dispel - removes all negative effects from allies and positive effects from enemies located in the selected area;
Levitate - Allows selected members of your party to levitate, reducing fall damage taken and allowing them to walk on water;
Silence - Interrupts the casting of a spell;
Fade - Resets all your threat, making you less of a target to attack for a few seconds;
Dispel Magic - Removes all useful buffs from the enemy;
Purify Disease - Removes all disease effects from an ally.
Dispersion - You turn into a pure and cool embodiment of darkness... I wanted to say into energy, the damage received in this form is reduced;
Shadow Mend - Heals an ally for a large amount, but at the same time imposes a dotage equal to half the damage healed.
Mind Bomb - Stuns all enemies around the selected target after a short delay.
You love Voidform (Especially tentacles, don't be afraid to admit it). Seriously, how can you not like this?
You like classes that primarily deal damage over time with spells.
You like classes with a dynamic fighting style.
Shaman
Among shamans there are those who call themselves shamans of the elements. They call upon the forces of the elements, storms and thunderstorms for help, in order to defeat their enemies with them. Like other shaman specializations, they have powerful spells of water, earth and fire, which also help them in battle. The shaman can temporarily bind powerful elementals with his will and direct them towards his enemies.Basic mechanics
One of the first things that symbolize a shaman is totems. Some of his abilities are directly dependent on the totems he places. Also, with the release of Legion, the Elemental specialization became the only one capable of summoning elementals to help.

Network variants of the Russian language are a large and separate topic that deserves at least a couple of dissertations. Take “Albatsky,” which any self-respecting blogger must speak.
Warcraft slang- a phenomenon not so well known to the rest of the masses, but no less interesting. According to rumors, the foundations of the slang were laid by the Russian-speaking pioneers of WoW, who began playing on American and European servers in the shaggy years of 2004-2005. I don’t know how this slang can be defined in linguistic and philological terms, but the essence is this: English words are pronounced in Russian (and conjugated and inflected according to the rules of the Russian language). This language is oversaturated with abbreviations and words related to game mechanics, names of locations, monsters, bosses, characters. In short, the mixture is terrible. Moreover, the English slang has already been overwritten. This is difficult for a beginner to understand.
Slang at the beginning of RuVoV was quite an interesting topic. There was a problem of (mis)understanding. Beginners who started playing with the release of localization had difficulty getting into gaming slang, on which veterans communicate. Then another process began - the “newcomers” began to distort Russian words, creating derivatives from them. Now the problem of “fathers and sons” has already been solved.
There will be no detailed research here. The purpose of this posting is to provide a basic understanding and translation into common Russian of words and abbreviations that are circulated in in-game chats and forums. One way or another, you still have to master it. Otherwise, it will be very difficult for you to communicate with your neighbors in Azeroth.
A few notes before you start looking for the right words. This part of the dictionary does not contain slang names for locations or instance bosses. Further, since slang is in a certain sense in a state of mutation - the transition from purely English derivatives to Russian ones - then perhaps not all terms are already relevant. Lastly, if you have anything to add or correct, do not hesitate to write, the list of terms is, of course, not complete. I will only be glad to help. And no longer me, but those newcomers who cannot understand what we are talking about.
Abilka(from English ability) - ability.

For badges, you can buy items of epic quality from merchants in Shatratta, Dalaran and in the Lake of the Ice Shackles location for a character who has completed the instance and alts (in the case of BoA items, account-linked).

Heroic— instance in the “heroic” version. “Heroics” appeared with the release of the first addition to WoW: The Burning Crusade and applied only to instances for five people.
