We took Tol Barad the other day and tried to 3 man some of the raids.
Only Argaloth proved impossible with the debuff going out constantly and ticking for so much damage. I switched to heals but still couldn’t do it with 2 dps.
Then I was randomly flying down from Hyjal to Azshara and ran into this EPIC waterfall that stretched for MILES. I couldn’t even get it all in one shot.
I’ve been going to Molten Front a lot looking for Deth’tilac, and found her today.
It’s purple, I decided it’s a she ok?
So pretty!
She had some 77 mill health so it took some doing. I also tamed Ban’thalos which took a few Disengage fail deaths. When Seal mentioned a crab pet I had missed out in the same area, I went camping for Karkin. I’ve never, ever seen a hunter with him. He wasn’t up but I did manage to die in several spectacular ways though.
I was technically in lava at this point, but could only see it when zoomed in. Fun. I forgot as a ghost you can’t land on these little ledges.
So I ‘died’ as a ghost over and over until I managed to nab my body again.
And after we took Tol Barad from a bunch of undergeared Alliance, Seal and I scattered their guards to the wind.
Phased into a Tol Barad battle with 5 alliance staring me in the face. Warrior, mage, holy priest, paladin of some sort, rogue. KILLED. THEM. ALL. Couldn’t screenshot everything because it lags me, but got close.
Mage
Rogue
Holy Priest
Didn’t get the warrior screenshot, but killed him at least 3x, got the priest 2x (then she started running) and the paladin 1x, and mage 2x. Lost, but it was worth it!
I say this because, more often than not, the healer is the one left guarding a base. I know I do it all the time, and in a DWG today a holy priest was left solo at a base. I ran in and helped knowing how much that sucks.
Most of the time, the healer then goes and runs off, can’t really blame them. When I’m healing I tend to stay around, because chances are, such as in that DWG, shortly after 4 Alliance ran in and even though I called it out, we lost it.
So anyway, people are unnecessarily rude in bgs sometimes. They were saying that to me when I was asking about defense.
We won this Gilneas, but it was frankly a mess. We had three bases, I figured a quick win. We lost one, then lost another. Bases we had were often deserted and I’d look at the map and see no one at any bases. I like my wins, but solid wins can turn into a loss with crap like that.
The best part was when I asked why no one stayed to defend WW I got “why didn’t you shut up and do it”. Yeah, I had been defending mines, I only moved there when I died to 5+ alliance. YOU’RE WELCOME
Stout mentioned this the other day, and it seems like certain people gravitate to certain classes. I don’t know what it is exactly. Here are my experiences over the time I’ve been playing, both in Lineage 2 and in Warcraft. I don’t have opinions on all classes either, some are just neutral.
And this is assuming what I call a persons “core” class. A ‘rogue’ can play a mage, and still be a rogue.
Hunters – Usually played by stupid people and/or those who are self centered and greedy.
Examples: Headsmasher and L2guru in Lineage 2. Shottie in Relentless. Or any low level playing one.
Rogues – Almost entirely played by people with a sharp wit, playful way of talking/playing who I almost across the board find agreeable.
Examples: Rayzo, Stouspectre, Ladiesman, Arashikage, Antsy, Misery, Iocane, etc.
Mages – Either elitist douchbags, or god awful players who are also douchbags. Always completely unpleasant.
Examples: Brdlady, Arkwin, Powertrip, Magicizan, etc
Warriors – Usually played by teens who haven’t quite gotten enough sense to behave properly or not ask for inconvenient or downright ridiculous favors.
Examples: Cinor, Drekk, Warbomb
Paladins – Usually the leaders of a raid, a group and usually a tank. May or may not be calm, but runs the show.
Examples: Peejay, Nilvana, Leonz, Conquix.
Death Knights – Usually people who like to play a class that takes 20 people to kill, whether or not they can actually play it well, or even kill anyone.
Examples: Annibelle, Oromis, Zukk.
Priests – The Dark Knights, fiercely loyal to friends, but an absolute hellion against the wicked, the stupid, or the trolls.
Examples: Myself, Lindenroyce
That’s all I have for now.
