LF a stable arena Team as Demon Lock or i can switch to other spec.

Atakheal — Sun, 04/03/2011 - 23:45

I have 3355 Res and im still working to get better gear, if anyone mind to do arenas with me will be great to hit a cool high rating.

i've doing arenas with diferents clases, like demon/hunter, demon/paladin, demon/priest, demon/mage and i've found a good combo with a paladin 2s, will be great to be in 3s or 5s as something important.

Competitive 3v3 Arena

Derchlon — Sat, 01/01/2011 - 19:09

I'm looking to run a competitive 3v3 team, with a viable comp.  I would like to go for at least 2200 rating, but we can reset our goals once we get there and shoot higher if we like.  The problem is that my needs are pretty specific.

I'd like to run one of the following comps in 3v3, and a quality paladin is required in almost all of them.

PHDk (Holy Pally / Hunter / Death Knight)
African Turtle Cleave (prot warrior, or feral druid / Marksmanship hunter / Holy Pally)
Beast Cleave (Surv or BM hunter / Enh Shaman / Holy Pally)

I have talked to a Prot Warrior who is interested.  I'd love to run ATC, as it seems like the most fun and can be very competitive if played correctly.  PHDk would also be fun, but I need a really strong Death Knight to be able to pull it off successfully.  I already have an enhance shaman that I do a mini Beast Cleave 2v2 with, that I'm sure would be game to try a 3v3 Beast Cleave.

As you can see, the only missing pieces would be a skilled Holy Paladin and possibly a Death Knight.

If you can fill the roles I'm missing, please post here.

 

P.S.  If I can find a quality Death Knight, I would also be willing to pick up a resto shaman for an SHDk team.  I would prefer a paladin, but a shaman could provide some extra help with a heroism, Hex, etc.

Hunters and their Keybinds

Derchlon — Thu, 07/22/2010 - 00:35

So I was just reading Saedo's post about gaming mice, and it reminded me just how MANY abilities hunter's have, and our need to use them in a raid environment.

I'll admit, that since I use a standard left/right + scroll wheel mouse, I manually clicked several abilities and cooldowns while raiding.  These abilities were situational abilities such as Trueshot Aura, Scorpid Sting, Viper Sting, MD, FD(I really really really wanted to bind this.  I did.  I promise), Tranq Shot, Aspects, Potions(outside my Nuke CD), as well as almost all of my pet abilities(For pet management, I didn't press a key, I manually pressed "pet passive" and "pet defensive").  I thought I would list for posterity what my key binds actually were for most fights, partly to reminisce and partly justify the future purchase of a full on double rainbow calliber gaming mouse when I finally return to raiding.  Some of these are kinda wonky for people used the the "1, 2, 3, repeat" style of play.  Mine is a bit more... feel oriented, and should there by not be taken as a priority list.  Instead, view it for what they are, a list of abilities that are easy to reach(mostly).

 

~ : Kill Shot
1 : Arcane Shot+Rabid+Kill Command
2 : Chimera Shot+Silencing Shot+Rabid+Kill Command
3 : Steady Shot+Rabid+Kill Command
4 : Aimed Shot+Rabid+Kill Command
5 : Serpent Sting
6 : [This slot varried a lot, and was generally my "go to" slot for the boss mechanic flavor of the week.  Otherwise, Concussive Shot]
7 : Volley
8 : Hunter's Mark (Truth be told, I rarely used 8 or 9.  I "felt" that they were too far to the right from my WASD.  I usually manually clicked HM)
9 : [I've forgotten what I bind here, because like 8, I rarely used it.]
0 : Readiness
- : Big CD NUKE--> Call of the Wild+Rapid Fire+Potion of Speed+any trinket I was saving for important fight moments like breaking XT's heart.

Middle Mouse : Disengage/Deterrence (depended on which was more important for the fight mechanic)

-----------------------------------------

That is just a PvE list.  In order to play a hunter properly in Arenas, you need many many more macros.  I can't tell you how satisfying slaughtering the first rogue I saw after binding a /cast !Flare macro to the end of all my shots for a BG.  It just wasn't even fair.  Now imagine putting something like that more comprehensively on a mouse button... see where I'm going with this?

Anyways, I hope you guys have been pleasantly diverted by this insight into the Hunter.

Derchlon's raiding days are numbered.

Derchlon — Wed, 12/09/2009 - 01:29

As many of you are aware, I am heading back to school in January.  I have known for a while now, that I will probably have to quit playing wow, or at the very least cut back or eliminate raiding.  I discussed this with Garreth about a month ago, and he suggested that I continue playing until that time came.

3.3 has launched.  Kitten Brigade is looking for solid and CONSISTENT raiders.  I have already decided that I won't be raiding come January, but I intended to raid until then.  With 3.3, I feel this may be the best time to take my leave.  I won't be sponging emblems or loot from the raid, and you can gear up someone who would be able to continue raiding when January comes around. 

I am not abandoning you all, I will still be around if there is no one to fill my shoes.  Know that my presense won't last for long, and that I will be gone with the passing of the new year, so make your decisions appropriately for the next few weeks.

After school is over, I should be ready to raid again but I don't expect a spot.

 

-------------------------------------

 

To Kwon and Minorthreat:  In regards to our 3s team, I will likely keep my account active.  Please note, that I would not be able to do arenas more than 3 hours total PER WEEK.  I'm trying to make sure I don't screw this school thing up, but I don't want to leave you in the lurch.  We totaly destroy folks, its fun, and isn't time consuming.  I hope 3 hours a week is enough for you, otherwise you might want to replace me here as well.

 

If any of you have questions, or you want clarification on something, feel free to ask me in game or on vent I don't mind repeating myself too many times.  :P

PVP UI's - and some help requested!

Kwondre — Tue, 11/24/2009 - 13:37

So after some arena games recently, I've noticed a deficiency in my ability to be aware of cast bars on Gladius.


For example: I'm hitting warrior, holy pally that's behind me and out of my view is bombing him with holy lights. I should be charging these holy lights but I'm tunnel visioned on to warrior's health bar so that I'm not noticing Gladius cast bars.


I'd greatly appreciate it if people would be willing to share their arena UI set ups so I can learn from you guys. Here is mine, though admittedly its my pve setup (I'm at work right now):  /node/7765


Basically, my Gladius Frame sits right on top of my Pummel/Disarm/Hamstring Buttons  in that little floating bar I've got going on.


One thought I've had is perhaps moving my gladius frame to be right on top of my Omen and Recount Locations...but even then I'm not sure I would be naturally looking there to be able to watch non-target cast bars.


Greatly appreciate any suggestions to help me with this. It's a clear flaw in my game and I want to fix it somehow. Thanks
