So close to 2200

[Sina]

ended the week at 2135 with a new pally.

woowoo.


I got about 200 points after i dropped some resil/stam items and picked up more SP/Crit/Haste and played alot more agressive. Seems the way to go

Well the games used to go like this:

3, 2, 1 go

Teams turtle
Team commits and rushes (or tries to blow up at max range)
My pally bubbles offensivly (to counter spell lock) holy light bombs
I target squishy, purge purge purge heal shock cs em+lava burst + crossfingers

4v5 = win

if ididnt get a kill, we continue to purge and heal with hopes that i can out dps a healer or 2.




now



We bum rush lust and pray they dont fear me out of range.... honestly seems to work better then waiting.
Edit: and im starting to add more spell power and less resil

I hope u have better luck then me. I've basically been stuck around 2150 for couple weeks, I think I was as high as 2177 then it all went to shit this week dropping down to 2122. :(

I tried dropping some crit/resilience for haste but didn't work out too well. I'm thinking of trying couple different things but we'll see what happens.

I hope things work out better for u though. :)

I can't belive 2153 is 53rd place on your bg.... im 2130(ish) and 141st.....

I think best way to go is 4% hit full haste with 4x dfo, got dfo already on 2 shamans but doing 3s atm for gladiator (got my shams on different realms for now)... well as retarded as wizard cleaves are it really looks like each shaman gets gladiator

To be honest, ranking = nothing to me. I'd rather be ranked 9999999th and be 2200 rating. I'm so sick of playing teams that are geared with low rating costing me anywhere from 15-22 point loses. It's very demoralizing but what can u do. Sometimes I wish I was back to being 1000 rating cuz back then it was about having fun and moving up instead of "damn better not lose cuz it's gonna cost me 20 points". Wish they would do a bg merge or something so there will be more teams doing 5s and more high rated team but I know that will never happen :(.

Kruschpakx4 did u change the names of ur toons? I can't look u up on the armory. I think you should try to get gladiator with ur 4x shamans. Looking at ur rating/win % and watching Asynk's videos were my inspiration for coming back to WoW :).

perhaps I could get rank ~8 at the end but thats not enough for gladiator, so I'm going the save way and do it in 3v3 and yeah I've renamed my shamans

I quit playing a few months ago but we got to 2350 or so before I just got bored. Anyways feel free to look at my shamans setups if your curious, I believe I capped my resil at 1414 and then stacked all spell power from there (with 6% hit ). Anyways, the rushing strategy worked for me against new teams, but if I saw it was a team I had faced before I just held back and played conservatively. My thought process was, a new team wont be able to figure out a strat for a match or two so rushing can catch them off guard, but a team that's played me several times already has a plan so all I'm doing is giving up my first 1 or 2 gcd's basically in order to drop totems and since they already know how to counter me I gain nothing. I think if you want to get gladiator it will take some real dedication, I believe its possible but you have to basically find the 1 or 2 top 5 teams you feel you can beat and poach them. By poach them I mean make alts on their servers and wait for them to queue up .. then queue up ... this is how many regular teams go about getting gladiator infact .. but its tedious. I think if you can get up into the top40 or so .. then you can poach your way into the top 5 for gladiator .. given you find a couple top ranked teams you can beat consistantly.

Good to see you back. I'm making a 5th shaman for cata :)

[Kruschpakx4]

3/4 shamans are already in save cutoff for gladiator but the 4th team stucks at 2500 currently on blutdurst, blutdurst and cyclone are the hardest eu bgs so we could also transfer to something like emberstorm or vindication for easy glad but well there is still some time

I love ur videos, I watch it over and over when I'm bored although I wish u would have them on YouTube.

Would love to see some where other team rushes u and see what u do. With some high ranked teams I just get rushed and chain stunned and can even blow bloodlust before I lose one of my shamans. :(
