AV with the DK+Ret team

[heyaz]

Did a lot of AV today.. second best game. Got a better one while on the Xfire live stream (nearly 4 million damage and many more kills), but this one was decent. As Horde I only lost 1 AV today. Reckoning Horde is fixated on the fail zerg strat, but I've learned to counter that - I hope they fail because I can wipe galv and recap as much as I like, and many times prevent drek from being killed for a very long time.

This shows the power of the comp. I have to admit, it's extraordinarily difficult to play, but has a higher skill cap than quad shaman. With skill, and just fast reflexes, the number of unorganized (or organized?) people you can take on at once is amazing - 10-15 if you play well and don't run into 7 warlocks. Quad shaman, as I've said in many threads before.. problem is, head to head: you can't really take on more people no matter how much gear you have. As it was when I was in savage/hateful gear - I take on 4-5 at once, only now I kill them faster. Any more and it becomes overwhelm and a aoe cc fest. Welcome to WOTLK.

Anyway, here it is:

Nice stuff. Thanks for posting.

Personally, I find melee teams easier than shaman teams. I like being the aggressor of rolling Abrams tanks rather than sitting inside a castle fending off attackers. I admit I was never very good at quad shamans since I would start to panic fairly early in the matches, but with melee for some reason its alot more fun rolling in and causing other people to panic and I seem to get better results this way more often than not.

Dutch name and playing on US realms? "transfered" from holland to USA irl or so?

It's tough to beat Shamans. Fear just rapes my 4x pallies and DKs in BG. I can't even hold a tower vs 2 priests.

We started 16 v 40 on this game and came back - it was too funny.

I know this is a little off topic(my apologies), when I was stationed in europe mainly Germany, but flew all over Europe to different TDY. I got ask if I was dutch all the time because my last name is dutch. Since my last name was plastered right on the front of my uniform they could see my last name. I would get people whistling at me all the time until I was told by some people in holland what my last name meant. I called my dad the next day and he couldnt stop laughing.

Anyways, after that I had a new nickname that stuck thru the rest of my military career. One thing I gotta say about most of europe in general is that it is one of the most amazing places I have ever seen.

What does it mean!! :P I was stationed west coast and had an AO in the pacific rim. My deployment cycles were very unique and very hush, so I didn't do as much exploring as I would have liked. I still dream of making it to europe for a summer tho, I know I'd love it.

The answer is in my post. :D

RE. fear, why don't u just stagger 5 tremors?

I've been running all 5 shamans as dps ... does it make that much of a difference using 1 as a healer?

Fear isn't a problem on my shamans, just on my 4 pallies and DK - that's why I don't even bother to play them anymore even thought they have good gear.

I like having one guy heal, since I don't really pay attention to my health bars, I think it helps out. Also it throws heals to whoever is getting focus fired. I just have /cast [target=focustargettarget] chain heal

Trinket, Bubble, Lichborne, Cleanse, freedom.... if that isn't enough tools to get you out of fear then i dunno what to tell ya man.

[heyaz]

Why is fear a big problem on your melee team? I can easily handle up to 3 fear bombs.
first - trinket
second - bubble
third - eat or or cross cleanse


unlike the shaman, they don't eat shit when feared and can easily get back on track via IWT once it's over.

I have more problems with fear on the shaman. Even when the tremors eat them in 1-3 seconds, they're all facing the wrong way and practically dead because they're about as soft as arcane mages.
