Ring of Valor and Blades Edge

[heyaz]

ROV: Welcome to the club, these are my exact feelings about ROV. Used to love it when it first came out, now that I'm playing 2300+ teams constantly (and yes all with destros of course), its the worst of them all. My solution is backpedal into the rear right corner of the elevator, and then quickly just backpedal off the corner once it reaches the top and recast totems(2 seconds). During that time I can still insta-cast EMLVB if I see a vulnerable target, or I can purge a couple times until I'm set up again.

Overall this is a ridiculous problem to have, but for now we have no choice as 2-3full fears in a row will destroy you.

Blades Edge, NEVER fight anywhere but the medial 75% of the bridge. There are so many bad spots on that map, and only a couple good ones. Watch the enemy team closely. If they attempt to flank you from underneath... do NOT stay and fight. Run to their side and set up totem camp again. Don't stand in the middle of the bridge, and don't fight with them on the concrete ramps.

Do you ever play the middle of the bridge for cleave teams without a ele shaman? It seems to be the best place to knock people off.

For any ranged teams I've found there's no reason to go past maybe the first third of the bridge or it's just a big LoS fest.

One thing we're having trouble with is rezzing. Some people die by thunderstorm and fall off, others die just around a corner at the ends of the birdge (tried to LoS a lvb). There are just so many angles from which they can rez these guys. I can think of at least 5 games where we were owning 2100+ teams and it turned into a 5+ minute game where they get 2-3 rezzes off because I'm down to 3 shaman that are oom and can't kill off the last 1 or 2 dps. Usually it's a priest healer left that gets the rezzes off. I swear they are the second hardest target to kill other than a destro warlock - their healing is insane, they never seem to go oom, and they can throw up enough passive heals on the last few dps that they can take a 10 second break to rez.
