The Ugly Guys at level 69 - lolsmite

[Owltoid]

I posted this in the other thread that discusses this group, but I thought I'd add it to the movie section too. Please note that this video was just made a proof of concept, and there are many, many things I could do to improve (most notably actually adding dispel to my keys).



Not sure how to make it HD. I'll have to check out FRAPS to see if it's an option, or possibly Windows Movie Maker.

This was quite entertaining! It looks like the 61-70 bracket.

HAHAHAHA - That is awesome. Sadly, now I'll consider rolling a DK/4 priest team, as that would be good for both random dungeons and dominant in bgs.

IMO, dispell more often, but I'm no expert on priests. In either case, U loved the video.

[Owltoid]

Lol, I don't even have dispel keybound yet. There's a pretty embarassing moment when that mage sheeps me and I just stare at my main. Ideally I would have just dispelled it. In this case I didn't even switch to a slave because I didn't know what would happen with FRAPS. I was thinking to myself, there's no way I'm going to post this part of the video because how bad I am, but when I survived through all that I thought it showed the massive healing and damage that could be done, so I included it. At the very end of that clip a druid starts casting hurricane on me, and gets one shotted back, but I must have stopped FRAPS.

-I really need to put fear ward on a round robin and then have a dispel chain.
-I really need to have them cast PW:Shield on themselves so anyone who AoEs the team gets hurt badly.
-When I have the talents I really need to make a click to "oh shit" button that round robins a pain suppression on whomever I target as well as cast stone form.
-I should probably incorporate SW:Pain.
-Um... I should probably include my DK, though I'm just learning how to PvP with him. Most likely I see him just freezing people at a far range and allowing me to pick them off, AoE with the rest during a swarm, and death gripping those damn hunters (who seem to give me the biggest problem, excluding fear).
-Oh yeah, I might as well throw in a fear every once in awhile... if nothing else it could interrupt things. I kind of want peeps bunched up, though

Sooo much potential. I might as well enjoy them now before Cata goes live, as this may no longer be possible. Too bad... they were going to get buffed beyond belief with the proposed talents.

Yeah, they're like 69.8, so unfortunately no more BGs until level 75 or so. The crappy part about this team is they NEED to be in the same group. So far I've had lots of success getting the BG Leader to give me leader or assist, but that's pretty much impossible in AV. If this team survives the changes, then rated BG AV will be 25 man (plus more organization anyway) so they should be fine.

If this team is split apart into different groups, they're pretty bad. They can still pick people off from a range, but the holy nova dynamic is basically worthless.... one of the reasons I don't think this will get nerfed - only multiboxers can really use this effectively.

Trick to getting in same group, is to either have lightning fast reflexes and enter BG the moment it pops, or wait to the very last second and try to get the last group.

I'm gonna have to try out some priests methinks..... Thanks for the video.

[Owltoid]

I'll probably have another video in the next week. I'm getting more and more confidence this team is legit - of course who knows if they will be viable in Cataclysm.

I'm currently 72 and holding my own in BGs against fairly large groups of 71-79. I just bought the holy nova glyph (should have had it a long time ago) so that will make for even more fun.

The difference between being in the same group and split 3-2 in two groups is huge... I need them in the same group or else they're just not good. AV weekend will be interesting. By then I should be in the high 70s so although I'll be spread out at least I'll have a level advantage for the push to 80.

Reflective shield x 5 in large groups does some nice damage

Makes me want a priest team. Fear has to be a bitch though. Maybe a shaman for tremor?

[Multibocks]

fear ward is good for keeping main guy unfeared then he can AoE dispell.

[Owltoid]

Fear is a bitch and a shaman for the fifth wouldn't be a bad idea. Honestly I'm not sure what the best fifth player is. I decided to roll with a fifth priest using the logic that if I could, I'd have 25 priests all spamming holy nova (assuming it hit raid wide, and not party), so why not maximize the synergy and go with all priests? However, I think a shaman would be good for protection against fear, a mage for frost nova (combined with fear would be nice so they stay in the AoE storm), or a DK for those damn hunters that continue to rape me.

I'm certainly not the best player around, but I'm having trouble with dispell rotations when I have only one guy fear warded. It's probably because my system isn't set up for quick enough reaction. However, even if you just use the simple method of every priest has a fear ward and every priest has a trinket, then you're still getting two fear protections every couple of minutes - better than my druids at least.
