I haven't played any 2s since 3.3, been busy from holidays etc

I'd guess Destro is still better, but Aff might be able to compete now, dunno. Both are pretty good comps though now I think

Nadagast ! You're my hero. I'm gonna change my faction from Alliance to Horde, and I've noticed you've changed your race from undead to orc. Is there a specific reason for that? Like, is orc lock better to play arena with rather than undead or blood elf? Thanks in advance! :)

Hello friend!

Beboshi Orc is probably worse than UD/BE, I just like how Orcs look :) I'll probably go back in a month or so

Beboshi

Jan 6, 2010 - 4:55 PM

Thanks mate :) I'll go UD then. Appriciate your help ! Good luck with your future arenas :]

Hey what's the time between your Corruption ticks with that 804 haste of yours? And are you playing 2v2 with that affli spec now?

Apetite

Jan 10, 2010 - 9:37 PM

What Eva said lol. I'm playing 2's Lock/Druid as afflick, I tried destro for almost a week but we just kept loosing games so I went back to afflic, Does Destro just need much more SP then me (2450)

Nadagast

Jan 10, 2010 - 10:22 PM

Haven't played 2v2 in awhile, I hear Aff is better but I don't know

My Corruption ticks with 26.35% Haste (what I have with Spellstone) are 3/1.2635 = 2.37 sec apart

hey Nadagast do you have a SS of your UI?

Evaporator

Jan 11, 2010 - 7:06 AM

Apetite: For me it was the other way around, lost as affli and kept winning as destro :P I was born destro <3 Anyways.. Should a destro lock, such as myself, focus on gemming only crit or haste along with spellpower or should he gem in a more balanced way?

this may be a stupid question but i was wondering why you dont have soul siphon..almost every spec ive seen has it and thanks in advance :)

Nadagast

Jan 16, 2010 - 2:45 AM

I like Soul Siphon I just don't have points to spare to get it

Hey, I'm running DKLD for the first time in season 8 and I'm just wondering what are the tricks of the trade of running this comp? Any other tips or strategies regarding this comp would be appreciated as well. I'm also wondering what are the pros and cons of running with a pally instead of druid, as I might be running with either one, depending on who's the better player.

'ello!

Nadagast

Feb 4, 2010 - 2:17 PM

The general idea is to dot stuff up and tell your DK so he can run over and hit it hard. Do this while staying alive and preferably either be swapping to the healer or have him in a CC while you do it

Nadagast

Feb 4, 2010 - 2:18 PM

Oh and I think a Druid is probably better but a Pally works decently too

WHY DO YOU STILL PLAY THIS GAME

Momentro

Feb 9, 2010 - 11:56 AM

Nadagast, what's the best setup you. been playing both for 2v2 and 3v3 ?
and respect for all the answer's and tips you give.

Fokkz

Feb 11, 2010 - 4:22 AM

hey nadagast, can u give a pointer as playing lock as WLD :) what do u have to focus on as a lock :) sence the warrior just runs around killing shit XD

Nadagast

Feb 13, 2010 - 10:51 PM

@Momentro I like Destro + IS Druid for 2s, and for 3s I like WLD (Aff + WildGrowth + Bladestorm)

@Fokkz I guess the main thing is to call out what you're dotting so you can coordinate damage with your Warrior. Try to learn when you should be nuking into a dotted target your Warrior is on and when you should be spreading dots everywhere. From there, you just need to learn the best ways to survive vs each team. The most important thing is to be able to learn on your own. Communicate as a team after losses and formulate plans on what to try next. Experiment!

Momentro

Feb 14, 2010 - 6:27 PM

thanks for your answer.
now i see you as Destro.. is it just for trying it. or is it good for your setup ?
since im goona play the same for 3s. but i kinda stink as destro.

Nadagast, where can I find your videos?

Yukarg

Feb 16, 2010 - 3:23 PM

Hey Nadagast, i just started playing WLD this season and i watched Hoodrch's vid of you guys playing it and i wanted to ask how you guys survive so well. When we play it usually ends in us stomping the team with a quick switch to a dotted target with deathcoil bladestorm. Our warlock keeps getting destroyed though and its really hard for us to recover and get the pressure back up. what are you doing/do you reccomend the warlock do the survive when hes pressured.

as affliction what stone do you use 1% crit stone or 60 haste stone?

Seredin

Feb 22, 2010 - 10:38 PM

when you say spread your dots, do you mean just instants, or UA-->Corr-->CoA? ive always had an issue keeping my dots up because i dont want to stop moving to cast UA. or is that the whole deal with "skilling up"?

Nexim

Poop head stop on by to say hi

Nadagast

Feb 27, 2010 - 4:16 AM

@Momentro Aff for WLD

@Kancerous I have no videos out :(

@Yukarg lots of CC early and often. What the Druid and Lock need to be doing really depends on the comp you're playing against. Against lots of comps the Druid needs to be Cycloning early and often

@Siixpac 60 haste, Spellstone

@Seredin it depends if I'm gonna get interrupted. If I don't think I'll be interrupted then I'll cast everything. If I think I'll be interrupted, then instant dots or a juke into instant dots

@Nexim hi m8

Hey Nada been really getting into Aff Pvp and just wondering what your thoughts are on PVE Trinkets such as DFO in Arenas? Would you say the extra haste and spellpower proc is worth removing Ruination?

Nadagast

Mar 5, 2010 - 4:37 PM

@Tendou there's no such thing as a cycle in PvP really. You have to decide every global what's the best thing you can do and actually get away with

@Biggiesmalls Sruutom*

@Revith I think DFO is great if you're playing a comp where you aren't focused much. I'd use DFO for 2s and 5s probably. For 3s, I think it depends on the comp you run

Hey Nadagast
(huge fanboi here) -- dude, we're running WLD -- but TSG and Beastcleave man, they put some nasty pressure on me. usually i have to use trinket/teleport/BM&Healthstone within first 30 seconds of game, any tips for staying alive through the initial assault?

Nadagast

Mar 8, 2010 - 2:49 AM

Full HoTs
Rejuv
Regrowth
Lifebloom x3
Wild Growth

Coordinate CCs as needed. Usually Cycloning early and often

Hey Nada huge fan on my lock. Any n00b tips you can give me? And a screenshot of your UI + Keybindings :D

Mar 8, 2010 - 3:36 PM

Hey Nagagast, I'm a noob and I play WLD. I have a very stupid question.
You are saying clone early and often vs. most setups, but in my experience if I'm aggressive with clones they just switch to me and blow me up. How does your druid survive switches? In the videos that I saw you playing you all stay very close to each other. But if don't hug the pillar, most teams switch to me and I die T_T. I try to have Rej & 1-2 blooms on me at all times, but I have to Nourish my lock and warrior a lot, so hots fall off sometimes.

Nadagast! #1-your my hero.. well you and Arnold Swarzenegger #2 Do to school Wi Fi I haven't been able to play sense last season, but I moved off campus and will be back! I miss it... so much.. anyways I'm running on a 2002 Mac G4 and I managed to save up $500 for a new comp. So what specs does your CP have? I want to know what I need and want is just access bells and whistles, before I throw down and make the buy! Any tips are much appreciated!

Nadagast

Mar 12, 2010 - 7:29 PM

@Arashorn just learn how to get better, that's the most important thing

@Dostoevsky it really just depends. Some comps you need to Cyclone early and some you shouldn't or you'll get blown up. Try to figure out which comps you feel comfortable Cycloning early versus. Just experiment with it. If you're getting blown up by certain comps, try staying farther back with less Cyclones vs them. See if you can win like that.

@Kattosaurus yes! NS was awesome I'm looking forward to NS2 ( www.unknownworlds.com/ns2 for anyone interested)

@Apetite I'm really not the person to ask for computer info and specs, I don't keep up with it much!
