Goochz vs MLG Talbadar, Enforcer (Sekkoz), and Relentless Gladiator Jhazy

So last night i Qued into some well known BG 9, MLG players and im not going to lie i was doubting our chances of victory up against the Spriest Champion Talbadar, and Toke Master Enforcer. Unfortunately for them, i too played on BG 9 and i wasnt about to just hand them a win that easily, with my Sub-Par skills in as a resto shaman my hopes weren't very high. Our quickly though strategy was to train Talbadar before he couldn't bend the match into there favor, crowd control Jhazy with Shocks and Hexs, with Fears on Enforcer and Chains ice spam to fuck up his mobility. There strategy was simple TRAIN GOOCHZ! Early Death Coils and a Shadow Dance from Jhazy and Enforcer were on me, but without there priest spamming dispels on me and me playing my Boxs i easily slipped away from there burst, with Lust popped and the new spell Spirit Walkers Grace (Allows casting while moving) i kept myself alive but nearly lost my warlock in the process. We won and it was a very exciting match. The lock on my team (Futile) Fraps it ill try and get the video up asap.


  I cannot show you the MMR for its a secret =), but it was up there =). Ours was surprisingly almost equaled out with theres. They didnt lose much =/. We got 96 tho!

Resto Shaman Arenas (Horde) Resto Warlock games =)

So i decided to mess with Goblin Resto Shaman today. My partner was a random i picked up some Warlock. He wasnt so bad, had his moments =P i guess.
Match Review- Hunter, Resto Druid. Goal, Control the druid with fears, and Hex ( they can no longer shapeshift out of polymorph) i also Use Elemental Binding to stop his heals in Tree form. Kill the hunter, Shaman is to assist with flame shock and other damaging spells.

Match Review- East match, Hunter, Disc Priest. Control the priest with Fear, Hex, Shocks, Kill the hunter Simple as that. Keep tremor totem down for priest fears. Grounding totem hunter traps.

Match Review- The Disconnect vs Frost Mage, Holy Paladin and we still win! So the plan was to kill the mage, drain the holy paladin, Shock frost bolts, and big heals, hex / fear paladin. But i disconnected and my warlock ended up 2v1ing them.

 Last Match- Very long match Warlock, Resto Druid. Plan .... Um out mana the enemy druid, keep up an on going pressure on both targets to force the druid to continue placing hots and burning through his mana. Eventually this is how we score the kill.



 I had other matches i didnt get to catch screen shots for, but we ended up 10-0 for the time being.

A night of 3v3 Arenas (Resto Druid) my first time playing resto.

My team composition is Enhance Shaman, Rogue, Resto Druid. Back in S5 and 6 some people ran this come due to the earthbind talent (which was later nerfed season 7? i believe). This photos are from a match again a Feral Druid, Warlock, Resto Shaman (odd team but w.e). My goal was to Control the druid and shaman best i could switching between cyclones and hibernates on the druid. Our kill target was the warlock (we drop 2 of his pets).
 See the reason we drop warlock pets are because they have a spell called Soul Link which allows the warlock pet and the warlock to share damage therefore reducing overall damage on the warlock. Remove the pet, and there's no soul link hes 100% vulnerable to all damage.

Baradin Hold (10 man) Tank Photos

Okay so today i ran Baradin Hold 10 Man, with my GM and some pugs, This is the new Vault of Archavon, pretty much you have 3 trash mobs to clear before fighting the boss. Sorry i didnt get pics of the trash but i'll update later. The trash is fairly easy you have the raid stack in front to minimize damage done you your tank, they also place a debuff that enhance Arcane damage done (im guessing this is the reason you stack together) you share the damage with the tank.
Okay so, im playing the role as Main Tank, considering how much threat bear tanks pull in Cata, i have to watch out not to pull threat off my warrior Off tank or chance are i will cause a wipe, especially on the boss fight. What we do is mark both tanks Orange Circle and Purple Diamond each tank is to stand on a side Left or Right, Assign a 5 man team for each stack point.
Okay so when we engage the Boss the Warrior tank starts off, he really needs the initial threat in order to keep up with me. Just to help DPS cause this boss does have an enrage timer, i dps in Cat form and apply all my bleeds when the warrior is tanking. As i see the boss casting his first spell (Meteor Slash) which apply a debuff to the tank with threat that will kill him if he eats more than one slash, i taunt after the boss gives the tank the debuff so that i save my Off tank and his team on his side. Along with Meteor Slash the boss throws out a magic debuff that MUST be dispelled the dispels on this fight must be PRIME and are very important. His second ability is called FEL FIRESTORM he will unleash tons of fire on the floor which the raid must spread out and avoid death to fight (Kind of like that Meteor from Helion in Ruby Sanctum).

 Okay so after a wipe, and replacing the mage with another priest healer, we downed him (with me switching to cat for on tank swaps). After you learn the slash and dispel and spread out for Fel Firestorm thats all there is too the fight, you should only get 2 FIRE STORMS or else its pretty much a wipe after the second one, the boss will enrage and poop all over the raid.
So yeah he died, Shaman Legs dropped and Hunters Vicious Glad epics dropped no DRUID LOOT!!! =(! *TEAR*!!!!! But all in all i enjoy doing this raid and hope that everyone else had a good time learning the fight congratz to the winners of loot. Thanks for reading!

2v2 Arenas Holy Paladin, Feral Druid

So this morning i woke up and decided I'm going to get some Screenshots in some 2s Matches =).

First Match was against a common 2s comp on Live, Rogue, Resto Druid... my goal is to control the resto druid with Cyclones, and Focus Skull Bash to mini Regrowth heals over time and Nourish spam. My kill target is the rogue.



Second Match was against a really BAD Priest and an Even worse Hunter it ended quick. Cyclones on Hunter = Dead Priest!

Third Match Shadow Priest / Frost Mage, Objective Kill the Frost Mage make him block EARLY, save cooldowns till hes out of his block score a kill before the second block, Control the Priest.



Last Match, This was a good match to be honest, Resto Shaman, MS Warrior. Objective, Train the Shaman there mana conservation isnt as strong as a Holy Paladin or Druid, Control the Warrior with Cyclones and Entangling Roots to Minimize his Mobility.



That was it cause i had to step out and grab some stuff from the store IRL, i'll try and get some more arena match Screen shots, and some Battleground shots. Thanks for your time.

Tol Barad the new Wintersgrasp

So i decided to try this new Wintergrasp type of World PVP, Destroy the 3 Towers (Optional) but if you do you gain Bonus time the, Objective is to Capture the 3 Main Bases. Simple? Not really.


Unfortunately our team came off short of a win, By 30 seconds or so. But i definitely enjoy this over Wintergrasp.
