Big gz :D
I was looking at ur recorded strems yesterday, id like to know what gives you the warnings, the sounds, when ppl uses their abilities like cloak, bubble, iceblock and so on
It also gives a nice warning for rez cast as well, its called Spell Alerter. You have to go in and manually add the sounds for the defensive cd's but its pretty easy to setup.
Did you get my PM m8 ? :)
Congrats on 2200, it looks like poor Crackbone never saw it coming in that match :D
Lol yea, I love catching teams when they try to move up to other pillar on our side of the map in nagrand, I insta jib people on their mounts ( what happened to him ) like that all the time. =D
dude......AWESOME!!!! gj =)
I'm probably going to record some more games this week, we're starting to knock off 2300 + teams regularly so it looks like we will be in the 2300 range here soon. My partners mic cut out in our last game tonight so we dropped 10 points, but our high point was 2275 so far this week and a lot of our wins are against 2100-2300 teams. Its really rare to see anything under 2k now. Its really wild how we just sat between 2000-2100 for like 2 months and out of nowhere just start climbing the ladder a few weeks back, suddenly gladiator doesn't seem that far away.
Congratulations!
It's nice to see several high rated boxers.
congrats on 2200 dunno if i can get that high but im sure gunna try!
looks like you'll be the 3rd boxer with arena tabard eh :>
Cool stuff. You're the reason my Battlegroup knows how to fight multi-boxers already :p Luckily some ppl still underestimate the instagib.
Grats. Do you run with a main, or just cycle around? I see that u use the same glyphs/talents on all 4, even though from your screenshots I know you're not all dropping totem of wrath are you?
Supa Grats! Shammy powa.
congrats fellow Rampager :D
So, we did some more games tonight and broke 2300... got my gladiator tabard =D. Theres still some 2500+ teams that will pick us apart pretty badly sometimes but I think that we have beaten most of the top page teams at least once, some much more. We decided to just stop there for the week but it doesn't feel like this is the ceiling just yet.
To answer your question Brothel, I cycle through my chars very regularly, anytime my lead char gets cc'd I switch to the next toon quickly. Also I like to lead with the char I intend on dropping the next earthbind from so I'm sure I'm in LoS when I drop it for the root so I will cycle chars as they have the cd available. I go ahead and get ToW on all my toons just in the event I happen to play one solo on a normal 3s team or something, I'm not to concerned about giving up 1% crit from the enhance talent to make sure I have ToW available on all 4 "just in case". I only drop one Tow usually but I've been considering dropping 2 or even 3 as some teams have started trying to kill my single ToW quiet often.
I remember seeing you in Isle of conquest.Quote:

Yea I use the PiP that isboxer offers due to its instant switching I think its better than using multiple monitors since I can keep every chars window right in front of my face instead of having to turn ( even I a little bit ) to see the action. I sold my old 24 inch monitors awhile back and just put everything on one 30 incher after setting up the PiP in isboxer.
Very very impressive doing this.. I have only been playing in arena for a week and keen to hit 1800 + on my 4 shamans. Do you have any videos to help with strats? From your other posts you keep on the move, i find it hard as one toon is always slowed / cc'd / gang raped.. any tips or you just ignore one toon if being cc'd?
I run 1800 on a rogue so keen as to hear any help or feedback to become pro like yourself :)
How is you PiP setup for switching? Do you have a button you just keep kitting and it scrolls through the characters? A seperate button for each toon? or do you just click on the screens to swap?
I have a livestream with some footage of me doing arenas www.livestream.com/sanza. As far as when one char is cc'd I usually try to time my big dmg burst right after I drop 4 grounding totems since it usually keeps the CC in check for a moment. Also I try to put a lot of pressure on whichever class is doing a lot of CC so they have a harder time casting it. But when one or two chars are cc'd I usually use that time to purge hex or thunderstorm people. If your fast at putting pressure on people as soon as their even in range to cc you it really starts to become less of a problem. Mages, rogues, and druids are the worst but also if any of them are in range to use their cc, their also going to be slightly vulnerable in a lot of cases.
As far as the window switching I use f1-f5 as window activate keys in ISboxer. This lets me switch windows super fast, and I can still use Shift f1-f5 for targeting purposes on my own shamans and alt f1-f5 for targeting purposes on enemy arena teams ( i unbound alt-f4 in windows ).
Thanks for the reply mate, much appreciated. I will watch your videos and get a few pointers. I hit 1250 last night and having a ball (only 4th night in arena)
It seems a massive task to setup the team to be affective in arena, I'm getting there but it seems everything is macro'd and getting used to it takes a while :)
Big grats man keep it up
