After a rough wednesday just after the reset, were we only met teams that gave us 1-3 points and only met teams that lost us 1-3 points, we started again sunday with Arctore filling the rogue spot. We met 80% 2345 setups, to be honest, im getting annoyed by meeting that kind of team so many times just gets boring calling the same target every fight, however we ended up facing 2345 but a hunter instead of a shaman a couple of times, and let me tell you, Ice trap on the tomb in lordaeron when my entire team is stuck up there getting entrapment procs all over can really fuck up things big time. Only player who is capable of escaping it is Arctore popping CloS, makes for some very nasty moments were we arent able to dps properly so for the future, hunter traps = bad. We still gotta work on our teamwork, timing nukes and stuff, and i gotta switch targets more. Think ill also switch the job of our rogues, seeing as before i wanted them to control the warrior, i so often saw that even if we get a perfect start, sooner or later the war is still gonna run freely around beating on our spriest, probably gonna stick our rogue on the priest or shaman from now on, stopping mana burns, dispells and heals will be a wonderfull thing. And the dps a rogue can perform on a warrior is really minor, compared to our magical dps, ive got quiet alot of ideas on my mind lately that i would love to try out, one thing i really wish was possible is more days where we could play, so far its mostly wednesday, sunday and monday, and the times we actually get to play more than 1 day a week is too rare in my opinion.
Bad news, Dayender our spriest said he wanted to start playing his rogue alot more in s3, and our 2nd rogue Arctore said he wants to play a resto druid. However as long as Dayender just doesnt stop his priest, i gotta admit, getting a resto druid instead of a paladin would make me very happy, actually since day 1 i've been interested in a druid healer, but getting a well geared, and well played resto druid who doesnt whine(harmonia :P) is impossible, there is some around, but all of them have a team they dont want to leave.
Now arctore, whos nothing less but an excellent rogue player wants to roll a resto druid, is just perfect! Harmonia is even about to quit playing wow, on top of this, Arctore and him are RL mates! If we are lucky this could turn into something awesome! :P
On another note my 2v2 hit 2126 rating, Nimra sorta stopped playing completely, havn't even been able to catch him on msn. So i invited Nakedsnake, always wanted to play mage+rogue again so it was a perfect opportunity. One thing though, this war+pala team fucked us over each and every single time both were humans, so just when the pala got sapped, the warrior popped perception and started beating naked down, i just couldnt stop it, tried everything, sheep, nova, snares nothing seemed to help at all. So from now on were gonna change the tactics a bit, atleast agains't humans. We were very very lucky to not meet a single druid+lock or war+lock team, so this helped our rating a bit :)
Neilyo 9
If god played wow, his name would be Neilyo, why you ask? Well that's simple, Neilyo is quite possibly one of the most skilled players I've ever seen on video playing a rogue, his CD usage is next to flawless, and the way he is extremely good at noticing whats happening around him. This video has a duel series with ming, Neilyo uses the engi goggles and highened senses, which means even Ming with perception doesn't have a huge chance doing an opener which leads to... well watch the movie :)
He also fights a gnome warrior who actually beats him 4-1, the fight is pretty nice to see, has a funny moment too :P
You also see some fights agains't Pandemics 3v3 team, neilyo runs rogue/lock/druid agains't their rogue/mage/priest, it really is a counter setup to Pandemic, but the fights are fun to watch none the less.
So go ahead and DL it :)

A warning though, this is a pure dueling/arena movie, if you dont like that, or long fights, dont watch it.
Ill update with new screenshots once i get home :)

Yup, Neilyo is not a god, but a nolifer, and how you suppose to kill one who has no life. :D
On the WoW dropping thingie... I hope you will find a replacement, cause in our server it's quite hard and btw, new player has to fit in team over time, don't expect a lot from them in begining. My teams broke every season when we were at our glory (Nr.1 from SC and 15-40th place in BG), and that pissed me off everytime so much that I began to think about dropping wow. Now I began doing arenas with abatai, we'll give a try, maybe i will ask for tips on that setup. As you play with Nimra.
Nice post btw. ;)
Lock/mage is a fun setup, thats for sure, however your gonna bleed your eyes out in tears for meeting druid+war/lock all the time :P
Nimra sorta stopped playing, hes coming back for s3 though, so for the moment im playing with Nakedsnake, a rogue, and well we got the 2v2 to 2126 with him, up from 2053 so i think it has potential.
I think im gonna have to ninja Setsunai if Dayender quits his shadowpriest and starts his rogue again, and then Arctore might suddenly have to re-learn a new class, ah damn its really complicated this 5v5 thing :P
And you are 100% right, finding replacements on skullcrusher is a pain in the ass the amount of truly skilled players that are active, nice and talk on Teamspeak(so many arabs who dont wanna talk even if they could).
Ah well, ill figure it out:)
