BOXCON 2009

[Suvega]

Suvega just got an automatic disqualification!!!! we will not have any of that Fire Mage crapola!@!!! Viva la shaman!!

But... but... Fire Nova + Frost Nova/Arcane explosion rotations while jumping around you rooted to the ground is SO. MUCH. FUN.
Oh and on the run in I Shield/Prom the main, and every AOE is also a max rank CoH

Whats CoH like in PvP? Atm while I spam AE on my mages I spam Holy Nova on my priest lol. It works ok most of the time but its terribly inefficient. More to the point what kinda spec do you run in PvP, do you atually have CoH or do you go PS? You have piqued my interest

[Suvega]

When controlling my priest by itself with velani's 4 shaman I use Pain Suppresion for sure.

For just screweing around aoe'in fools, CoH fo sho.

He means "fixing" turtles in BGs. And "defending" Vanndar.



He does (usually) spec Pain Suppression for 5v5 with my 4 ele shammies, but there was this one time where we didn't bother (he went in full PvE CoH spec... I can't remember -- were you wearing your PvE gear?) and we tore stuff up. I think that was the first time we hit 1650?

In any case, when we beat our guild leader's 5's team (our guild leader was not present that particular fight) Suvega was full CoH pve spec. They failboated pretty badly.



The only time we've run up against a 5-boxer in arenas, Suvega was on his 4 mages (having JUST respecced fire from a losing streak with frost) and I was on my resto shammy.

I've beaten a 5x fire mage set up in arena a few times.

Anyhow, as for shaman vs shaman boxers. I don't think it's much about luck at all. :P More like tactics and abusing weaknesses.

Round robin grounding totems, LoS play in you favor with some strafing, Nuking their grounding totems (With purges or so.) before dpsing. It's really a battle of wits, not really a battle of luck imo. :P

Wouldn't Shaman vs Shaman just be two teams sitting in their own corners in their own totem farm for like...ever?

Step forward, re-apply totems, step forward, re-apply totems, step forward, re-apply totems, step forward, re-apply totems, step forward, re-apply totems, step forward, re-apply totems, step forward, re-apply totems, step forward, re-apply totems, step forward, re-apply totems, step forward, re-apply totems, step forward, re-apply totems, step forward, re-apply totems, step forward, re-apply totems, step forward, re-apply totems, step forward.

They'll get there, eventually. :P
