<1 Min from 11cst-2cst. Odds are no one >2100 is queuing then though and I end up waiting 3-5 anyways. Had some good games today against Priest/Rogue, Spriest/Rogue, and Druid/Hunter around that time tho.

lol dude, i may be mistaken, but was your team at like 2kish last tuesday?
my team got owned by one priest/hunter team, but i just started getting into 2v2 last week, hopefully we will see you again :D

Seriously
02-26-2008, 10:13 AM
I'm pretty sure we are the only competitive Priest/Hunter team >2200 right now. Last Tuesday we were around 2000-2100 though so it probably was us. There is another team called "Jesus MTd Our Sins" from my server thats ~2100 +- a few games that has like 700 games played, they're named Moure and Belarin.

I fit those qualifications. There is only one Druid/Warlock team that has ever beaten us and we went 0-3 against them, they were similar to our rating. If that was you then GGs.

Yeah I didn't mean to come across as an ass, that wasn't my intention, but people underestimate Lock/Paladin, ShsRogue/Druid and Druid/Warrior are the only matches we've lost more than we've won, don't want to sound cocky, but our stats don't lie. =/

Edit: Losing 90+ point in 7-8 games to Druid/Warrior(6 games) and 1 Shaman/Warrior really set me over the edge at just how powerful Druid/Warrior is and just how unstoppable they can be when they play at our level and make no mistakes. Will this plague go unnoticed?

Orgodemir
02-27-2008, 05:48 AM
i played with a paladin to get him his shoulders. we can win games, but thats because were both really good, and know how to play. we can win the games up to 2k cause the people who play lolezsetups arent as good, and get carried by the setup. lock/pally just has a tough time vs the common setups even when played by baddies. it doesnt stand a chance vs good setups when the other team is pretty damn good.

Yeah I raged about just how gimp Paladins are at everything in that bracket. One day you're on top of the world and the next a Druid rolls up and smashes your face into your own keyboard. So when do I get MS to you know *BALANCE* us in 2s? I'd really love to be pants on head retard like every other no name Druid that can piolet to 2k.

It was entertaining Seriously. Him and Nano farmed me and my druid warrior back when I had no gear and I'd really like to see how I would do against them now. (I had 1400 healing, 300 resil, and used s1 feral/resto mix...)

The part I like is he airballed a few dragons breaths, and a few other spells, so you get the feeling that these are real clips and not just "oh that one game where we gibbed some amazing druid who had a memory lapse in 10s."

Meh, when I play at 2200+ we always get 2-5 point wins against 1700-1800 rated teams... I can't imagine warrior/warlock being past that. Anywho, it's like putting a bunch of Priest/Rogue clips in a Hunter/Druid video, there is no chance Warrior/Lock would ever beat Mage/Rogue so why even include it.

ill ask doubts, and i have a 2s team 30 points higher than the rabidkitty's current one with his PR, so we can match up with that. VST is nice for resisting druids roots and damage =)

was directed at seriously, but would still like to play a decent druid/warrior... whenever i see a warrior, i take it as a win

Then play us then. We haven't really lost against any warlock teams, save for Namath and Murthy once (we're 1-1 with them), and the lag-loss.

Fiddlesticks, I'm busy on Friday. But I'm still good on Saturday.

I generally sit on my ass all day on Saturday. That's when I get my 3v3 and 5v5 point selling done (on multiple teams), as well as lots of 2v2 and screwing around on the server. I'm online from about 11 AM to 8-9 PM central time (with frequent breaks), if not also overnight. So I could be queued up any of that time.

To be certain of the fights, you (anyone) can just you make an alt and contact iynx or myself, and we'd be glad to arrange games. We're good sports and appreciate good opponents.

P.S. If you really belong in the 2200+ bracket, but remade a team to something like 2k and want to fight us, we're gonna call you gay.

Yeah man the healing capabilities of an oom druid are pretty ridiculous. Offcell is pretty amazingly pro, it's true. It's fine you had to go, offcell had his 5s team waiting on him for that game to end, we should play again soon though.

Heh the boar, I told my druid to watch out for that :P

I'll never turn down a chance to fight you guys again, that was great. I'm especially impressed by how much you were able to trap me, usually my druid is very on top of that. If he didn't get that last trap, you probably would have won. Great game, and looking forward to playing you guys again.

I misjudged offcell's remaining mana + cooldowns, he used PS on my pet because I'm bad and I forgot so he cudn't keep himself up when I went to pressure you.

Heh, we never lose against those teams. More accurately, we never lost against them when I was sword spec, which I do in fact miss. When playing against any of the following classes: warlock, priest; sword spec really puts us ahead with dpsing through those shields, or gibbing pets.

Of course, however, I had to go maces to not struggle so much against hunter/druid and warrior/druid mirrors.

P.S. Our 2v2 is 2323 rating atm, we have only lost like 20% of our games since I went mace (nerf maces), and I'm really eager to climb up the ladder.

P.P.S. I actually will be free tonight (Friday) to 2v2, starting around 8-10 central time (6-8 server time).

Count how many double undead mage/rogues we have in our BG...

Last night we caught Eatmo(Celex's druid) and Kesher, who were 2nd. They played us I think 12 games, said they wanted practice or whatever. They actually play the combo against us really well, but engineering>*.

Grats on #1 milk, I found it hilarious that you got up there a day or two after Jasi posted some emoblog on worldofming about how shadow priests suck in S3, and have no viability in high-rated arena :P

Way to prove him wrong! :)

I'm powerleveling a shadow priest right now so we can switch between spriest/rogue and mage/rogue next season, do you really think engi belt is necessary for spriest/rogue? And whats the % chance for backfire?

PS: Blood elves suck, we have SO much trouble with both spriest/rogue (Teirisias/Bnatural, grrrrr....) and priest/rogue (Hawtchickirl/Weezybaby, even more grrrrr...) because of fears, any suggestions for how we can avoid getting into trouble with that?

They usually start with blind on my rogue, and then fear him as soon as he trinkets, while the rogue murders me, and my ice block gets MD'd :(

Jasi's been crying about shadow viability for a lot longer than that. Shadow priests are perfectly viable, they just require specific team setups that have to be built around them, whereas disc can do well with just about anything.

As for the engineering belt, it's not necessary, but I'd imagine it helps a lot. My partner's never used it, and we were up to 2nd place before I transferred. From my experience dueling against people with it, it seems to backfire about 10-20% of the time, which really isn't very much for how useful it is. If anything, though, I think the rocket boots are a bigger boon in 2v2 for a shadow priest than the belt. I can think of quite a few games we lost because my priest was unable to get in range of fear, or unable to escape quickly enough, which rocket boots would help tremendously with.

Thanks man, we also shot way into first in 3v3 (we've been first for a week, but our PR was too low to get ranked from powerleveling).

The engi belt is not necessary and this is only the first week that I have had engineering for arenas (it's like 300g to powerlevel :/ the items themselves cost more to craft hah). The backfire rate is something like 10%(luckily hasn't happened yet to me), but you should just use it when you are about to die anyway and that way if it backfires it doesn't even matter--whereas if it works, you get use out of it. The boots are also really nice, but like I said neither are necessary.

I use a macro to dispel myself and partner(s) without losing targets. Don't have my game open right now but I believe it's '/cast [target=party1] dispel magic' for the person in the first party slot. I'll confirm this later tonight. So basically fear ward should go to your rogue, and when it gets dispelled he should try to cloak/vanish-immune the fear. If both fail, just get ready to dispel him (this can go horribly wrong, as he can get feared around a corner, feared out of range etc.) Essentially, spriest/rogue can counter-comp because of racials but if you dispel fears you can at least split games usually. As for priest/rogue, if your rogue is AR/prep just ride the rogue--he'll never catch you kiting him. If not, gib the priest; purge spam, early silence (with the changes to pain suppression, finally!), etc. CC train the rogue.

Hope that helped <_<

edit: Just realized you were probably asking for mage/rogue help against those teams. I have no experience with that setup other than knowing it counters spriest/rogue hard if their rogue is UD, and is very doable if not. So...yea, we lose to those teams when the mage/rogue setup an invisibility perfectly with the priest in decent LOS. Just have your rogue cloak when he's out of stuns and then vanish/re-open when cloak is down. Sorry this is horrid advice, but I don't play the combo! ;;

He paid people to quit queing for 5s so that they could farm the terrible teams that make it to top 20.

We played em a couple times the other day. The games were extremely close, got his druid to 1% and <5% like half a dozen times. I can't really say I'm disappointed, both sides seemed to play nigh-flawlessly, and simply gnome racial put them the slight amount ahead to win.

Actually, I'm not gonna even blame gnome racial on that, I'm gonna blame ring enchants. Damn ring enchants. I need to get those already. However, in fairness, the third game they played against us was a cleaner win.

P.S. His druid is pretty good, who is it again?

P.P.S. SERIOUSLY WE NEED TO QUEUE AGAIN IMO. I'M 1-0, YOU'RE NOT GONNA LET THAT SLIDE ARE YOU?

P.P.P.S. Wasn't he on like a PVE server or something? How was he able to get to Cho'gall, which is a pvp server?

Mmm I disagree on some points. It does make the setup ridiculously powerful (I think any setup becomes that much better with better gear on the rogue), but if it was legitimately overpowered, why aren't there more? By no means is BT considered "end-game" on most servers anyway. But, against some teams we just win without contest...I think PvP gear would obviously normalize wins/losses but I wouldn't discount the setup completely.

The only problem is...it is extremely rare for people to go on rogues. I sure hope people don't actually think my teammate wears PvP gear, but either way that's usually an auto-loss for the other team if that happens.

Blame rogue mechanics, blame itemization on Blizzard's part; I'll keep riding the wave though.

(PS. Dej was the first person to comment on how much damage I do. It's not just one of us who is doing damage, as much as people want to scape goat.)

We will be queueing if you are interested in facing us :)

And my 2 cents concerning PvE gear in PvP:
If its in the game, you should be able to use it. Dory's embrace is PvE gear, and everyone uses it. Deep thunder was PvE gear, and everyone used it. Just like you have to farm for enchants and gems, which you cannot do in PvP (save some few gems from honor, hardly a complete set), it makes sense that you should have to PvE for some of your gear as well.

Blizzard is never going to completely isolate PvE and PvP from each other. Deal with it, and if PvE gear is overpowered, get some of your own. There is always a setup where you won't be the first target, so run that setup, and put on your overpowered gear. I sell points in 3v3 in triple threat setup (rogue/warlock/mage), and I've worn FULL PvE gear for the majority of the time that I play in that comp (all our teams are 1900-2000, not top of the line, but its something).

Just like you have to farm for enchants and gems, which you cannot do in PvP (save some few gems from honor, hardly a complete set), it makes sense that you should have to PvE for some of your gear as well.

Blizzard is never going to completely isolate PvE and PvP from each other. Deal with it, and if PvE gear is overpowered, get some of your own. There is always a setup where you won't be the first target, so run that setup, and put on your overpowered gear. I sell points in 3v3 in triple threat setup (rogue/warlock/mage), and I've worn FULL PvE gear for the majority of the time that I play in that comp (all our teams are 1900-2000, not top of the line, but its something).

sorry but no...
arena is supposed to be a competition of skill, not of gear. of course gear makes a big difference, but all the gear is generally the same in the higher brackets, thus making it more skill oriented.

arena shouldnt be compromised by drop rates of end game pve loot which are vastly superior to the pvp gear for some classes (rogues???). sorry but a rogue with 35% crit and 2200 atk power with cheat death will never be fair in my book.

edit: lol, you play with t6 rogue.completely unbiased opinion amirite?
