Yes it was very impressive, and mostly to me because he did something original... kinda like boxing rogues to 2k+ would be :P I didn't say surpass kromtor in coolness... only rating :P I think it took balls to gear and level 4 toons nobody had ever tried seriously in arena(altho ret dps is retarted). I'm hoping my time spent will prove as fruitful. My arena goals are always based on beating or trumping my own previous accomplishments.
ps. my healer is duelist.

original yah, but the impressive part was doing it alone. i think that's the ultimate goal here for boxers, to do it alone. getting 1800 alone is a lot more impressive than 2200 with help imo. next would be gladiator the way ellay was doing it back in season 3 or so with like 98 wins and 2 losses and had every top team dodging him at the end of the season. that shit was amazing.Originally Posted by asonimie
I pretty much entirely disagree with each point. But to each their own of course.

try 5boxing after you reach whatever rating you feel your 4boxing group peaks at, and then get back to me. you've said it yourself several times that having a healer makes it so much easier, and krom carrying that load himself just makes it so much more impressive.
and you can disagree all you like, but i have no doubt if every pvp boxer were asked whether or not they'd feel more accomplished if they reached a high rating alone rather than with a healer partner, by far the majority would say alone. that's why we box in the first place, to do it alone.

I still enjoy watching Ellay's old videos, they're what got me to pick up the hobby, but lets be honest, when I watch the old 5v5 arena videos I can't help but to think how easy it was.
No cleave/everyone has AOE, no shadow fury, 1 bubble class - I mean, all you really had to deal with was line of sight.
The burst was waaaaay lower which is what made the comp so good - as 4 elemental shamans back then we could burst people before everyone could.

And in season 10 we will be saying the same things in general about 4xmelee burst that has recently been discovered to work due to IWT changes, just like when ellay showed everyone that shaman burst worked back then.
"it was so easy back then, you didn't have to deal with what we have now"...
Someone showed you what they found to work, and you copied it. It wasn't easy before that, and it wasn't easy for the originator to figure out how to get it to work. Being a copycat isn't as impressive as the guy who put in the work to solve all of the problems for you. So, give credit where credit is due.
