Sanza you are insane. I remember when you used to log on Kiljaeden =(
Thanks =D, should have shoulders on tuesday next week ( not enough points just yet ). I havn't forgotten about my kiljaeden friends but I'm trying to make sure I dont let my orcs fall behind on stuff and there's been so much to do I havn't had time to mess with the draenei's. Wish you guys were horde, I just cant get behind having gift the the naaru over bloodfury.
Got lucky and got 3 different 2k+ teams that seemed to have no idea how to counter us, pretty easy wins mostly. The one loss was to one of them who we had to fight 5 times, 5th match they seemed to have figured out a pretty good stratagy. I find when teams are timid and don't have a hard open ( entire team rush's and pop's cd's ) its very easy to win because we can eventually get a quick coordinated strike with such ease. Due to this, I have been rushing a lot of teams nowadays so they don't have time to formulate this "master plan" so to speak of AoE CC and dmg. If a team doesn't have time to plan this stuff its pretty easy to take advantage of our increadibly simplisitic stratagy. Granted once you play them 5 or 6 times in a row, they have a plan and rushing is probably a bad idea... better to take your chances camped out in a good defensive location.
got my 1750 high five achieve last night.. hummm how to get higher..
a post on ur strat for 1600-1700+ would be nice!
Im working on a video/post on how I do my arenas as I am in some hateful still, so i hop i can get up to the big 2k with u guys, soon!
I wish I could break out of the low rating like 300...lol
I reached 950 last week and it was quite hard. I only won 2 games. I had a hard time against some dual warri ele shaman teams, that kept beating me into the ground. In addition my healer is a bit squishi.
But GZ to 2000+
I peaked over 2k but am back down to 1975 after a few teams learned how to better counter me. I still feel behind on gear fighting these teams using 4 pieces of deadly though.
got my team almost 2,2k but my toons are just ~1900 because i played a lot with ingame friends, mhm k toons have already points for shoulders so i think i could push toons up to 2k today~ will see :D
rating comes before friends
LOL! 10chars
Thought I was gonna be the 4th last night... farmed the same two 2100+ teams up to 1954, then things went horribly wrong.
1. Priest disconnect
2. Yoobox pulls a leroy and runs under the bridge by himself against one of the 2100's we were farming
3. Get owned 4x by 1600 MMR teams, I have no idea how
And there went a whole night of work. I love arenas
Ouch~. I guess some nites are just bad. and Luck is always a huge factor. What makes those 2100+ "farmable" though? What do they do different from the standard wizard cleave that we all come to know (shadow=> fearx2 => FOK, hunter stay at 40 yard max range etc). I am stuck at 1600-1700 ATM. and I wanna know how do you identify a bad team other than they rush in and get one-shotted.Quote:

Well one wasn't wizard cleave: warrior, ret pally, frost mage, priest, resto shaman. We figured them out, warrior would either go super defensive so I'd ignore him, or he'd spin too early and get owned. Frost mage needs to put ice block on a mouse button because when I had him as a focus (hidden) target he just blew up. I think we went 2-1 with them thoughQuote:

Druid HoTs are worthless against our burst and they can't NS+heal when someone goes from 100% to dead. Paladin is pretty much the same. Replace their healers with resto + priest and it woulda been a challenge.
Team from other night was enh shaman, hunter, warlock, priest, paladin. Hunter does the absolute most damage and can mortal strike. He dies first. Enh shaman are not good with grounding totems, and are easily thunderstormed away. Pally healer can be nuked easily. Last to die are always warlock and priest.
Identify bad teams?Quote:

4. They take my healer bait, but they don't kill him
5. Warrior starts spinning with no protection - no grounding, no pain supression, charges out of range of healers.
5. Class with bubble doesn't use it when it's incredibly obvious that I'm targeting them
7. Their healers don't use passive healing (prayer of mending, earth shield, pws, pain supression, etc.) and trying to cast a heal once it's too late

Blow kill shot when one or more of my shamans were CCed.
I think in lower rating I took stuff for granted and got away with easy 1 shotting people. And it is not working out anymore as rating goes up. Gotta build up good habits and good practices, rather than cheat for easy wins.
sounds like Tuesday for me :( Had two disconnects against 1600 teams and lost over 40 points.
Quit playing after that for a bit, came back with my druid and did 7 games against 7 wizard cleaves -- got down to 1786 (from 1832 that we started) -- finally got a big win against a 2200 wiz cleave and got to 1802 -- I'm sitting on the rating until Tuesday to make sure I can get my main hand and in the mean time leveling engineering.
