Surprised no one has done this yet

[Sydwayz]

We need someone with some gold and some warriors to do this immediately.
...Before a nerf
2 macros plus trinkets=

300k crits

[ZooljinX]

lol insane..

wouldnt work so well for a boxer tho, i mean you popp the macro oneshot somedone then you die.. (if they have some brains)

[Sydwayz]

the way i see it is you 4 box it and use them on a round robin or separate buttons along with a healer. just proceed to one shot everyone on the other 5's team.

I got our warrior to test this out last nigh (a 2k+ mmr player) in full ruthless gear. He got up to 90k crits on a 4.2k res rogue in a duel, but when I duelled him 10x on my dk, he was unable to win a single game or come even close to killing me. Takes way too long to stack up the apparatus.

Also keep in mind that in that movie the 300k + hit is with berserker buff and on a flag carrier with 10 stacks.

[Multibocks]

Oh jeez, I hate it when they use artificial buffs

[Ughmahedhurtz]

Regardless of temporary buffs, this will get nerfed INTO. THE. GROUND. Windfury used to be about half of this (relative to average player health at 60) and it didn't last long.

[Kruschpakx4]

fury is not viable in arenas

beside that, arcane mages can do that too, without that much preperation

The video guy did mention he was then trying to get the biggest crit ever, all out.
The 'normal' crits he got were in the first part, on his arenas

[Tonuss]

Yeah, they may nerf this, but I'm not sure you can use that video as a good indicator of how much they need to change it. Even in the arena portions, it seems they gave him time to stack buffs (no food or flask, but he shows almost two full rows of buffs in the arena portion) and build a full rage bar. I don't play a warrior so I don't know if that's easy to do or not, but when you stage a series of fights in order to get the highest damage numbers, it's not indicative of how things work in normal play.

Basically elemental shaman with legendary can do more damage in 1 gcd than a fury warrior.

[Multibocks]

Staff on a shaman :(

They should make a talent that gives shaman extra armor if they equip a staff.

Armor plays hardly a role for an ele shaman. Staff is actually very viable for an ele shaman.

[Multibocks]

In PvP? Uh if I saw an elemental shaman with a staff I would make sure all physical dps were on him.

Swifty... hah! Hes a situational player, and self-proclaimed GOD of PVP. I cant stand people like him. I have personally watched him die to various players. Sure, he can post videos of big numbers... but dont let him fool anyone, hes died just as much as hes killed other toons.

Hes a tool.

[EaTCarbS]

Am I the only one that isn't even slightly impressed? I would like to see if he could pull it off in a legit pvp situation.

[Multibocks]

Read the post before yours. You are not the only one.

[Dramoth]

easy smacking someone and getting big crits when they arent fighting back. Even in the arena, it was all rubbish attacks on a stationary target.

Would be interesting to see how he goes in genuine arena's and BG's.

The DK should be able to dg him into melee range before he can get within charge range. And then proceed to absolutely clean his clock.

just sayin :D

I quite enjoy his videos, following him for a while on youtube. Have learned quite some things from the vids about warriors as well, and I don't have the impression at all he considers himself god of pvp. At least I think it's pretty clear that his vids are often with a big wink. He wanted to get the biggest crit possible, and used buffs / mechanics available to anyone in bg's. There is no difference basically with hard core raiders (ab)using any world buff possible on progression.

He earns a living for promoting razer gear and from his youtube parntership. So yeah just like anyone representing a company/product you have to take it with a grain of salt (? if that is the correct english expression).

[Tonuss]

That is the correct expression.

I think a lot of the pushback against Swifty is because he gets such enthusiastic responses from many of his fans and followers. Anyone who gets that kind of response is going to generate some hate or resentment as a counter-response.

[Ashley]

He also probably attracts a lot more negative attention in game that gets him focused by horde and gang banged/tea bagged daily.

I mean, who wouldn't want to try and gank Swifty for lulz whilst he is on a live stream?

But then I actually thought about re-rolling Darkspear-US from EU just to gank Swifty and Athene and become a YouTube hero off of the back of it with my own channel etc. Then I realised it'd cost fuck tonnes.

[Mokoi]

He earns a living for pimping razer gear and from his youtube parntership. So yeah just like anyone whoring themselves to a company/product you have to take it with a grain of salt (? if that is the correct english expression).

Fixed.

Swifty was a cool Warrior back in Vanilla and had some cool videos. He has turned it into the superbowl of "30% kewl game stuff and 70% advertizement for Razer.

[Zub]

Everyone has to earn a living, imho his job is pretty cool, even though i'm not a fan of the guy

[Mosg2]

Dan don't be so angry. You're just jealous Razer isn't sponsoring your SC2 streams =p
