I've finnaly managed to get some time over to say that the movie is out for the ones who don't know yet. This has been the most retarded release ever haha, but I'll come to that later. Thanks for all the comments and the support! A lot of people have been sending me songlists etc which is such a good help really! I love you all 8) LINK: http://warcraftmovies.com/movieview.php?id=116119

 

So how's the weather outside of Sweden? It feels like southern sweden is boiling as we speak AND worst of all I've been working in the sun all day long now for some days. Facemelting.com heck, even more melting then a spriest during vanilla wow. You should be ashamed if

you haven't visited the beach because it's so awesomecake! It's disgustingly cold in the water but it's getting warmer though :P Better cold then hot otherwise there wouldn't be much of a point to jump into the water xD. My tip to you is to enjoy the heat while it lasts. As I would say to a fellow wow player, GO AND FARM THEM VITAMIN D's!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Release

 

Back to the most hectic release ever! So there I was setting the alarm clock to 3:00 AM which was a rough estimate on when my rendered movie would be ready. I started uploading it to Filefront and Warcraftmovies and I also submited the movie to wcm obviously before I went to work. I assumed that they movie wouldn't be release until tomorrow or very late this day since it usually takes em 12 hours or something. Now the real deal comes xD

 

When I came home I see my msn, filled with messages and alot of them were saying that my filefront link wasn't working on Warcraftmovies which already made me abit worried. Not only did they say that it wasn't working, it was a completly different file. High End Chinese player honing his skills in RUNESCAPE, I can not describe how pissed of I was with filefront at that point, but that wasn't the only thing that made me troubled. We had an advertisement thingy to be deployed on the streaming service which obviously wasn't deployed due to this early release of the movie.

 

There I was, dirty as hell after a NIGHTMARE day at work on my computer trying to solve these stupid issues, which had me spam cc'd on the chair for an hour ++ to get the sinking ship above the water surface again. I was a complete mess and fell asleep at like 9 PM that evening T_T

 

The weather works good as good band-aid for days like these. God bless Summer!

 

I've just passed a rough period of time with alot of physical demanding work, which is the reason for me slacking abit on the typing. That is however the only thing I've not been dooing over the past week or weeks. I will step it up and continue posting as of now, and I'm deeply sorry for the downtime!

 

You could say that I had a semi depression, even though it goes against everything I stand for xD. I was actually abit depressed due to some drama between certain family members :'(. Even though you think that it doesn't effect you, it still does for some odd reason ><.

 

Status Rapport #2

 

The movie is starting to shape up really well! It takes it time to get footage when you are dependant on teammates to actually get somethinging on fraps :P As I've said previously, it's going to be arena in its purest form with Disc/Feral and Feral/Rogue/Disc. All the games are going to be recorded around 2500 MMR in 2v2 and 2550 + in 3v3. I will not show complete games in 2v2, since that takes to long, so I'm basically going to show what I feel is the most interesting to watch from 'em. I can't give you any specific ETA but Im definitely climbing down the mountain and it should be done any time soon. Hopefully tonights 3v3 will yield me the clips to finish it, but we'll see ;)

 

Music: Mix of my oldstyle of music combined with some of my favourite Trance / Electronic songs.

 

The movie is coming along pretty decent as I write, I just need to be able to play 3v3 more often since that is the main issues in terms of how long time it will take. It would be fun to get a bunch of good games against the Top teams on cyclone in 3's since I guess most people agree on that I haven't included high end arena in a loong long time :P Intro is completly done I've edited about 7-8 mins in total, so it's looking somewhat good.

 

Stockholm "Week-end"

 

Later today I'm gonna fetch the train up to the capital of Sweden for a seminar and to check out the city abit. I've actually never been there so it's going to be alot of fun, thats what I hope atleast! I'm gonne be gone until Sunday afternoon, which means little to no time for gaming this weekend :'(.

 

Sorry for beeing slackmode on blogging but as always I have good reasons for slacking! No I don't, I haven't really had anything on my mind lately. I've been so busy with raiding, working, arena and gymming that I haven't even had time to watch telly for a week now. THAT's a not a good sign! Anyways, time to prepare for the journey so I can maximize my exp / hour in Stockholm.

Rogue/Feral no more?

 

One may ask why I do not play Rogue Feral at the moment and the answer is pretty simple. Let's put it this way, Greenpeace wouldn't agree with me when I'm saying that we need to get rid of all them trees. Another reason is that we "pushed" our 3's rating up to 2500 last week ' and that's when we decided to stop tanking our 2's. The comp still works don't worry, it's just not viable for top spot ranking as we speak. I'm currently playing with a priest named Hovsa to try out how it works. Enough about that, I got some pretty neat news!

 

TFC10

 

I have infact started frapsing for The Fat Cow 10, and it is going to be way, way more arena in it! I've not really had any stable teams for ages and now when I got one it could perhaps be interesting to showcase some ;). I haven't been able to fraps during these last months due to lack of fps, which in the end was the reason behind me formating in the first place xD.

 

 

DON'T MISS WOW WEDNESDAY TONIGHT 22:00 CEST

 

Group 3 is playing tonight and I do not remember which teams it is, but you will most certainly get briefed while watching it! All I know is that it's week3.

 

I think we have many people who are in the same boat as I am, rowing and rowing until your oars are so dirty and uncleaned that they barely work! Bad example, but I am of course speaking of our beloved computer!

 

I'm usually not the lazy type, since I hate dirt but why am I not formating my computer once every month? Well, let's put it this way. You can not see it, but you slowly feel it. You could refer to it as cancer coming slowly and luring there in the background ready to assault you! Format your HDD before you start cursing over your horrible fps drops and general program issues. The last time I formated mine was about 9-12 months ago, and it runs so smothly now it's amazing. Take this as a reminder!

 

Information Regarding Formating (Windows)

 

So, for them guys or girls who aren't into computers that much I can tell you one thing. It may sound hard, but it's so easy. It's like reading a quest log and then execute it as written.

 

What do you need?

 

A working Operating System CD (Windows or Mac OS e.g)

 

Term Knowledge

Partition = Dividing your HDD into different segments. Usually used for having backups and/or for better overview of where your stuff is.

Boot = Start up

Bios = Configuration Tool, which you enter by pressing "Esc" or "Del" in most cases. If you are very unfamiliar with bios then I'd advice you to stayaway from it, but it doesn't hurt to go in and check out how it works. You can always exit with discarding changes if you've done something stupid.

 

Small breakdown of what to do

In order to start a new install of Windows and formating you need to go into Bios and make your comp boot from your cd/dvd player (Windows CD). Some computers do this automaticly but I've never experianced it happening xD. After that it's pretty simple. Follow the instructions and read everything carefully.

 

Have you heared about the registry Ms Fix?

 

If you haven't then I strongly reccomend you to do it. It "can" drop you MS with over 100 and sometimes more or less. Blizzard claimed to have fixed the issue on their part but that isn't true. Had a good example of that this weekend in Denmark. The MS fix made the ms drop from 200 > 29 on the netcafé

 

This is no wonder cure, I haven't experianced any real downsides with doing this but think twice! You are in your computers Registry and changing things. I still highly reccomend you to do it if you haven't done it before!

http://www.sk-gaming.com/content/15500-Smart_fix_allows_you_to_drop_your_ping_by_150

 

 

Do not blaim me for any problems caused by doing a Format "C" and doing the MS Fix. At the end of the day, it is your own personal choice to do it or not. I can however put my hand over my heart and say that I am not rickrolling you!

I´m sorry to inform that tonights tournament day has been canceled, I don´t know if I´ll be able get any energy to recover from this bullshit but I´ll try my best. Congratulations however. Mature and everything bro.

 

Thanks Zom, Brakkus, Malice, Azox and every other retard in the Guild of Zombies. I hope that this was a blast for you, because this is about as low as you could sink. From now on, I'll have to expect 0 credability, respect on most importantly... having a conversation is out of the window. It's not fun to even talk with you. You dive to much and to deep into the flames of war. I'd love to end this on going war, but then again. These wounds since Azox came to SS are permanent MS.

 

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

EDIT: Thanks Baha, I've been looking for this amazing picture! I am sorry but this one so belongs to this entry.

 

@ InGame NetCafé Denmark

 

Today I woke up completely confused! To take the train to Denmark and visit Hovza at the WoW event that they´ve organized at http://ingame.dk/ or or not. For those of you who do not understand Danish or can´t be bothered to visit that link, it´s a 12 hour long WoW event at one of Denmarks finest netcafés. A Top Danish PvE guild will be there showing us Ulduar 10 man and then we have Me, Relize and Lykkeh here. They will also showcase abit of our DS tournament tonight. The net café really lives up to it´s reputation and it's probably one of the coolest net cafés I´ve been to.

 

 

 

 

DOOM SQUAD Tournament Group A @ 18:00 CEST Tonight

 

I will not be able to fraps tonight, since I´m probably going to stay here during the entire event. I hope some of our members will be frapsing and I know that a few of them are going to Stream. So if you are interested then Tune in on

http://xfire.com/video_live/fllyn/

It´s going to be well fun and do not forget to check out the DOOM SQUAD forums for further info regarding rough estimates of the schedule and extended information about the rules and regulations. http://doomsquad.ade.se. The tournament info is under "General"

 

So who will win tonight? I know that the game is already in progress as I write, but I have faith in the Red Devils! They charmed my heart after their mindblowing game against Bayer Munich a few years ago, and not to mention their EPIC figure of the past... Eric Cantona :D

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

ESL

 

Don't miss out on The ESL tournament week2 podcast at 22:00 CET with Matt (Zalmah) Rider and James (Toogood) Harding. Four new teams are fighting for fame and glory, and I'm looking forward seeing your choice of Machinima this week Zalmah. You can impossibly top the last one. So inappropriate after midnight xD Comedy ftw!

I've already gotten quite spammed about my change on the blue sockets last night. In order to minimize this uproar I'll explain why I have spell penetration gems in all my blue slots.

 

I don't know if you other ferals have been noticing how much our cyclone fails to land nowadays? I'm talking about various classes: Mages, Resto druids, people with motw, taurens etc, the list is long. The issue is, that many of them got talents or buffs that increases ressistances with around 80 most of them. Hit won't help since lack thereof only makes spells "miss", ressistance however makes spells "ressist" or partly ressist. Seeing that many teams in 3's and 2's consists of a Mage or a Resto druid means that we will end up with alot of ressists in the end of the day. Quite frankly a few losses due to it aswell.

 

Whats the downside of gemming spell pen? I mean, lets say a rogue had a 3/5 chance to land a blind. Wouldn't he want to make the blind more reliable if he could, without loosing to many stats? I'm pretty sure he would.

 

So 4 blue slots = 80 Spell penetration or 32 agi + 44 stamina if you are using shifting gems. In otherwords, no big of a difference in the big picture when it comes to stats. Not gamebreaking at all! Call me stupid but I hate RNG.

As a few of you knew, last night Group A of the invitational ESL tournament was streamed and played on wow wednesdays. You will be able to see Group B play next wednesday night. The winner of the groups will qualify for the end playoff in week 5.

 

Group A

Terra Gaming (Flashay and co)

Ensidia (Redhot, Hydra, Kalamist)

eDawgs (Flyn, Realli, Stgeorge)

Lemonparty (Icematix, Blade and a ret pal :P)

 

 

It was extremely fun to watch especially since the players in eDawgs are from DOOM SQUAD. So I was sitting there and holding my thumbs for 'em and cheering! :D The final vs Ensidia was a nerv breaker. Was fun to see that Flýn stepped up to the table and showed the world what a great player he is. He is really one of the best mages around. Both Ensidia and eDawgs played really well, but unfortunatly for Ensidia this wasn't their night. RMP mirrors are abit RNG based and there is a lot of stuff that can happen. The oppener means a lot and a good switch can be game breaking. eDawgs came out as the strongest team last night and it's only to congratulate them for their victory.

 

I also need to say that Lemonparty surely did come up with a rather creative comp in the semi final vs eDawgs. Propper annoying to face a Prot paladin instead of a ret paladin. Took a while to understand why the hell the pal didn't go down xD. Thank god that eDawgs managed to figure out how to handle it after the second game. Could have been a 3-0 sweep for Lemonparty. But hey, what can you do against a well played RMP? It's been one of the top comps every season, and rightfully so. The comp requires a lot of teamwork to be playable on this level. Their synergy got abit nerfed with the blind fear DR, and it probably was a neeed change seeing how dominating the comp has become.

 

Stay tuned for the next Wow Wednesday where we are going to see 4 great new teams fighting for fame and glory!

I wanted to share the most epic cat in the RL world! Her name is Milly and this is her pet Chrille. It's an indoor cat and believe it or not, you can actually go out and take a walk with her. She never runs away and she always stays close ;)

 

Her mom dragged up her kittens in a tree, and we had to intervene. This wildcat had some serious issues. Must have been a bird in her previous life or suffering of some kind of disorder xD. So our cats are abit extra tight since we had to give them milk even before they could open their eyes.

 

The quality is worse then Azox's mom, but I think the reason is that I was caught prowling. Need to unstealth to getter a better view of things :'(

 

 

 

You may wonder how the groups were decided?

 

I was using a Random number generator, http://www.random.org/ and I assigned a number between 1 and 15 on every player. Personally I'd say that the groups are pretty balanced class wise, but I had to intervene and move flyn over to group A. Having 3 Mages and 0 Warlocks in 1 group was borderline stupid :P. Abit lame that one group got 1 more player though. We're currently 15 people in the tournament so I made the RNG decide which group to place our question mark Stg in. I do however hope that Tuska signs up, so we get even groups! Stop mourning the blind fear nerf already T_T. You can still do well man :D

 

Naíz = Navíz SOZ xD

 

 

If someone thinks that the groups are unbalanced or you think I've favoured someone or myself than don't hesitate to leave a comment or message me ingame. I will do a Video broadcast with classic lottery if requested.

A lot of people have been asking me for a list of my keybindings and ye, I might aswell just do you the favour =).

This post is for the upcoming DS event, and players outside of the guild are not allowed to participate. There will be a movie coverage on the entire thing and I hope that the players who are able to fraps or stream during their fights will do so. You don't have send me all your fights, just send me the ones that you feel is worthy to do something with from your PoV, or if your foe did something spectacular and he didnt didnt get it on fraps =).

 

 

Tournament Rules and General info

 

Best of 5 duels

 

We are going to play on two or three different maps, depening on a majority decision later on. I've suggested that we are going to play our games in Nagrand Arena, Blade's Edge Arena and Gurubashi Arena. Since it's best of 5 games, the two opponents are going to decide on which maps they are going to play on before the game. Both players will roll, and the one with the highest roll decides which map he wants to play the first 3 games on, and the looser will be able to choose a secondary map or the same if he wants to, to play the last 2 games on.

 

Arena conditions apply, which means that everything that is allowed to wear in arena will be allowed to wear and use in the duels. We got 1 issue however. We don't have any shadow sight buff, which means that especially rogues can vanish away and just cheese back their cooldowns by waiting in stealth for 2-10 min. This is strictly forbidden. If we feel that you are waiting in stealth for cooldowns to come back up, then it's an automatic forfeit, I'm obviously speaking of cooldowns with a longer cd then cloak of shadows. Vanish or Prep for example.

 

The first part of the event is a Group Play with 2 or 4 groups depending on the amount of people attending. Since wow is to RNG based, I've decided that we are going to play dubble elimination in the play-offs. So you could say it's the same typ of rules as on MLG or ESL

1st Prize - Steelseries 5C Wotlk Limited Edition Mousepad

2nd Prize - 60 Days Gametime Card

 

 

So how, do you sign up for the event?!

 

I've set the first date to 30th of May (Saturday), the ones who are interested in participating should send me an In-game mail or whisper me if they are able to attend between 18:00 - 00:00 on that day (DS members only). If you got any specific times where you can or can not be on during that day, then don't hesitate to hand that information to me atleast a few days or possible weeks before the games.

 

The deadline is the 16th of May

More info to come once the groups and the entire schedule is done.

Recent In-game fixes!

 

Blind (Rogue) is now in the same diminishing returns category as Fear effects, but no longer shares diminishing returns with Cyclone (Druid).

 

Seriously... this is madness :O Priest Rogue and RMP's finally got a big nerfstick upon their faces o//

This youtube clip is about our beloved Azox. It shows how azox behaves when he is a normal state of mind vs the calmness itself Saravok. It's not dramatic so don't expect to much! Afterall, I don't want to humiliate him completely + he's not feeling very well either.

 

I´m starting to get a tad bit concerned, since I have yet not managed to loose more then 10 rating and we are on 2416 atm. I´m guessing when everyone is back up on their matchmaking rating that things will start to normalize. I do however wonder how this will effect the end ratings on people. I wouldnt be surprised to see teams hitting 3k this season ... which is stupid. Anyway I can confirm that Feral Rogue is very very viable this season. We are rocking a 92-48 and I don't dare to think of how badass our burst will be with the darkmoon cards now in 8 days xD.

 

Rank 7 in Cyclone atm and highest Rogue Feral worldwide atm. Not to shabby! Ferals are so nurfed man (LOL), can't believe how people can think that xD.

 

You were moaning about a Xfire stream. Well here we have one, except it's not me playing :D. Let me introduce you to Mr Flyn!

http://www.xfire.com/live_video/fllyn/

 

Top notch mage playing Rogue / Mage in 2's. Floating somewhere around 2.5k last time I checked. One of the best mages stormscale has to offer.

I've made a super short turtorial for people who haven't done it, nor can be arsed to watch a long and booring turtorial. It's very simple, but there is a few hints that you might want to pick up even tho you are farming it already. It's 2.22 min long and the name of the song is Armin Van Buuren - In and out of love.

 

 

I'm gonna break down a few important things that is required to maximize your win-ratio as Feral Rogue and give some general insights about the comp.

 

One may say that this combo is all about how good the rogue is, because without a good rogue you can't push it very high. I'm not saying that a good rogue could carry this comp to 2.4k +++ that will certainly never happen. The druid has to be able support his rogue's playstyle and beeing a good 1v1'er certainly buys you many games. There will be many occasions where you kill the healer and your rogue dies. This comp works in both Pve and PvP gear, but I'd say that this is one of the few comps were high resilience is borderline mandatory for both players.

 

So now that you have found a good rogue, how can you further enchance your tactics and improve your win ratio?

 

I'd reccomend you to get Engineering, atleast one of you has to have it. The best is if both got it. Engineering is KEY to establish a good win ratio vs rogue teams and especially Rogue Mage. It's all about the oppener as in many cases in this comp. This is why you must have engineering. I've linked the engineering parts to wowhead, so if you wanna check out the item just click on those orange links ;).

 

1. Nitro Boost - Increases your survival and allowes you to get restealths of were you wouldn't be able to. It also helps you to stick to your target.
2. Hand-Mounted Pyro Rocket - Binding this to Fero bite, really does help you when you want to score a kill on someone. Definitely recommended to use.
3. Hyper-Vision Googles - The sickest helmet ever. It's almost as good as the old human perception. If both of you got this one, then you have 30s of perception. During this time you will most likely find a rogue. Macro it into your sprint, since you want to maximize your area of search with sprint up when it's active.
4. Catseye Ultra Goggles - Good old catseye never fails to deliver.
   

 

Something that I haven't tested yet that my rogue partner wants to test is, Dubble Darkmoon Card: Death. The proc rate of this trinket is really high, so you will most likely get a proc during the first second of your oppener. Both proccing this one and both using the Hand pyro rocket gives you aaaaloooooot of extra dmg without even using any gcds at all.

 

General Tactics

 

There are different types of playing this comp. You can either play it agressive (reccomended) or with a lot of control in terms of getting of a lot of restealths. I don't consider the restealth style very effective nor do I use it, but its good in some situations. In my oppinion this comp is all about putting out as much dmg in a short window as possible, and then reset the fight when they've blown their major cds. Vs priests and shamans this isnt the case since their defense against melee zerg is garbage.

 

Holy Paladins or Resto Shamans - You will have to kill the paladin / shaman 99% of the time, because he's teamed up with something that you simply can not kill. The biggest problem is when your up against a Gnome warrior + Healer. Most of the time you will be able to sap the dps and go for the healer but if it's a warrior then you have Sap the paladin/shaman, root the warrior and lockdown his healer. You'll struggle abit against gnomes due to escape artist, but that is something you have to live with. When the pal bubbles do everything in your power to reset the fight. If its a shaman, well reset the fight to win the 2v1 when he goes down =).

 

Resto Druids - You need to capitalize on their weakness really. You can not kill a resto druid, as dubble melee. Won't happen unless he's terribad. You can't sap a druid, which means that you have to rely on sustained dps / burst on his teammate. That is the only way to win. I reckon that you could kill the druid if you blind him very early burst the dps teamate and do a swap when he got 0 hots on himself. That is probably the only way to kill him.

 

Rogue / Mage - One of the easiest comps to beat if you find the rogue. So finding the rogue is something that we want to do. If you do not find him during Hypervision time, or with catseye, then wait for shadowsight and unstealth him. You have very limited chances of winning if you open up on the mage.

 

Priest / Rogue - A very tricky comp, you can kill the priest or the rogue. But the rogue has to be under control during both options. If you find the rogue then position yourself close to the rogue and let your rogue sprint away and sap the priest, just before he saps you pounce the rogue. If the priest he trinkets blind him, if he doesnt then blind him when it fades. You want to max dps on the rogue so that is why you blind before anything else. Follow it up with a bash. This should in most cases be enough to score the kill. The priest tactic is very simple. Get a sap on the rogue, rushdown the priest and dont forget to keep FF up on the rogue if you got time for it ofc.

 

It's actually rather interesting, when you look at the new glyphs and compare it to the old ones. Did the old ones even have a slightest impact when we Pvp'd other then the shred glyph? To be frank, I've replaced all my old ones with Glyph of Berserk, Barkskin and Survival Instincts. They are supperior in every possible way.

 

Something you shouldn't miss to read is that Glyph of Barkskin only helps vs physical dmg. When I first checked it, I got all hyped! Omg, slick vs Arcane mages xD But then I saw that It only worked vs melee's. So the rip glyph vs barskin glyph is abit tricky. Seeing that a longer duration on rip helps you to maintain maximized dmg on shred and prevent restealths, but then again it doesn't add any extra dmg. Sometimes it's better that the time is shorter, when you are setting up a kill for example. The benefits from beeing able to barskin vs a rogue when they land a KS to drop their crit to 5-10% is just amazingly good.

 

 

Ulduar first impression

 

I was allowed to help out the guild "Vice" in ulduar 10 man last night with "The Iron Assembly" or something similar :P. Anyway, just seeing the new abilties the trashmobs had makes the instance much more appealing. You can't really cleave 'em down like in Naxxramas. I wouldn't call it very complex, but it's still a huge step up from nax. The boss that we were trying to down was borderline hard xD. We did manage to take him down efter a few tries, but there is a lot of stuff going on during the fight. It's easy for an experianced player, but you need people of equal skill to steamroll it. You could compare it to Naxx 40man when it comes to the fact that you can't allow people to die. You won't have enough dps to kill it before enrage, unless you got monster dpsers with the best spec and gear with a good dps setup.

 

Ds duelling tournament

 

The date for this event is going to be decided very soon. I think we are speaking of 3 or 4 weeks until it begins.

 

Buffed or nerfed what is your biggest concern?

 

I personally feel that the 3.1 changes are good in every possible way. The burst is lowered, the dps will be about the same. Rip will once again be the finisher to use in most situations, due to primal gore (allowes all your bleeds to crit except rake). I´m obviously refering to the Rend and Tear nerf on Fero bite and the Shred glyph change when I stated "The burst is getting lowered". The shred glyph will extend rip by a certain amount of seconds instead of it's previous effect. The fero bite change is basically just a reduction of the amount of crit yielded by the talent with 50%. In other words, crit chance with Fero bite will be 25% with 5/5.

 

People may think that the maim change is a nerf, but the only situation where maim is getting nurfed against is vs mages and in some cases Ret paladins. Divine purpose will not be a problem anymore (against Holy), since it's deeper into the ret tree and I feel that having a 5s stun, and beeing 100% sure that it lasts for that amount of time is comforting. Not knowing when the maim is breaking doesn't allow you to be able to use the duration to it's fullest.

 

My biggest concern is, how does the DR between Pounce, Bash and Warstomp work? I haven't been on the PTR.

 

Due to the weather here in sweden, I haven't been able to post nor write much for some time. Good weather often means a hell lot of work during spring for us. People want to get their gardens fixed and possibly get some of the stones that may have miss-positioned themselves when the frost in the ground has faded.

I just need to express some feelings that I have towards battlegrounds. I don't feel that it's right, that we have to put up with this bullshit. Having to play with people that are completely clueless, running around like lost kids and destroying the joy of doing a battleground is pathetic to say the least.

 

WHO wouldn't want to play against people of your own "skill level" or lets call it, the same level of experiance. I'd vote for rated Battlegrounds or atleast, battlegrounds divided into 2 segment. To be able to play in the upper segment, an arena rating of X is required. Obviously not to high, since we still want games to pop up.

 

Speaking of which, why have blizzard forced us to use AV enabler in order to be able to do a premade? When did blizzard fail to understand that BG's can be competetive without a ladder system? People only log on to play arena these days and when not doing arena, they tend to hang out in durotar or gearing up their alts. Facing TOP players in BGs (Random Selected map, for easier matchmaking) would be a lot of fun and make the honor "grind" obsolute, because there wouldnt be such thing as an honor grind. You'd get it while having fun and it would also mean an increased need of PvP guilds. This would benefit both the social aspect and longivity of the game.

A tired Chrille with a bunch of horrible formulated sentences. But whatever. You get my point xD

 

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

 

Off topic, here's a creation of a rather succesful psd from some weeks ago!

 

 

 

New Druid form models
Druid forms are not coming in 3.1, but (big but) we are working on them. I have to say that when these do go live, it will have been worth the wait.

 

 

Something is very wrong here. Will we even get something that prevents the visual hitbox issue of cat form !? One can only hope :D

 

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

 

DOOM SQUAD, are now officially back for real! As someone mentioned earlier asking about my migration etc. I'm on Stormscale together with DS, and beeing back on SS is a great feeling, atleast in terms of doing arena with good players. Going from barely passing 2k on rampage to 2300+ and highest rated feral rogue on cyclone ><. Eitherway, we got a lot of interesting things coming up in the near future. A DOOM SQUAD Duelling Tournament, and I'm speaking of a streamed / frapsed tournament with some fancy prizes for the winners (It's a member tournament, but you are free to watch it since people will be X-fire streaming). We are also thinking about releasing a DS Promo to get our old and potentially new interesting reinforcements into DS =)

 

Wait a minute... Didn't you state that you're digusted by all the pricks on Stormscale? Thats correct. Why did you migrate then? One may ask. Something that I previously hated was Azox and his minions in ZOMBIES, but now he's just a good laugh. I don't know how I've turned hate towards just laughing at him, but I think I've realized that he's just a big tool. I've finally managed to get past all the hating, flaming and trashtalking and turned it into positive energy instead :D

 

I'm trying to make an Azox compilation so that we all can laugh at his retarded behavior once I get hold of enough material! So Azox, I'll be watching you...

 

GRRR!

 

I'm terribly sorry for the delay, and I hope that it didnt become overhyped xD, because it's very plain simple and only 14 min long duelling movie. If you can not run the file, then you have to download quicktime.

 

Download and Stream: Click here

The download link is just bellow the stream.

 

 

If the stream or download doesnt not work, try out following solutions.

 

If you don't have the newest adobe flash player 10, then try downloading it. If Internet Explorer doesn't work then try FireFox. The IE problem should get fixed over the days. If there is one, and I have already gotten the first whisper about it. So IE seems abit buggy atm. Here is a direct download link for people experiancing problems: DL

 

 

Adobe -> Link to Adobe's new flash player 10 -Click-

I'll hope you enjoy, and I do once again apologize for the delay. And creds to vexxed. This blog post is win :DD http://vexx.dingblog.com/?loadblog=3358&cm=

The release has to be delayed until Monday, due to unexpected problems that has to be resolved. I'm terribly sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused :'( but thats how it is. It feels horrible to break a promise. See it this way instead: We got RNG'd by a technical issue.

 

Ieatyou, this one is for you. Remedy for the week-end!

This dog is seriously creeping me out :'(

Good news, we can almost keep the deadline. Recoding the sound,

should be up within 5-10 min if not less. Okey, programmer isnt on but he's inc. It will come up, but if you dont wanna wait then hit the sack! :P

 

 

Heya! Oh wait, im tired so that exclamation mark was totally uncalled for :<, anyway I got some HOT news today. It´s itching in my fingers to write it in one single sentence , so here it comes:

 

The Fat Cow TR Duelling event Video should be availble to stream / download tomorrow. It´s time to spew it out. Marilyn, you are amazingly fast and passionate about dingblog. Never met someone in this kind of buisness that can pull of things as effective and fast as you.

 

The release is abit special, because it's footage from 1 single evening, and its edited on one single evening aswell. Not only has the production gone fast, the release is going to be on dingblog.com only. You could say it´s an non official release since many people do consider WCM as THE wow movie page. I'm not saying that the content is shit, because I got a few slick duels in there.

 

What can you expect?

 

Me talking.

Hopefully not overused songs. I don't consider them overused at all to be honest.

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

Thanks alot for your participation, and I hope you had as fun as I did :D

The outcome of these clips are going to be interesting. A few really really nice ones in there ;)

 

 

 

I'd like to warn sensitive viewers, especially non Man.Utd fans.

Don't forget 19:00 CET tonight :O

 

This is actually on request, due to me recieving a lot of questions regarding where I live and mostly due to the replies that I have gotten xD. A few examples: "LOL, farmerboy", "No way", "Are you doing cows?", well the list is long...

 

The drive-in to our plaza, and the building furthest to the right is the stable.

 

 

Here is my beloved gaming/work desk. Best drink in the world down in the right corner btw! Rivella

 

 

Our backyard, also renowed to be a mine field at times since this is where our dog got his fenced area =)

 

 

A few tokens from my Soccer career, the big ball of thingies are those booring medals that you put around your neck xD

 

 

 

Let's see what kinds of books I got in my shelf, hmm

 

 

I will post the rest when my entire post is finished. Pre-releasing it while, I'm picking 'em out and rescaling them ;). I will release the rest tonight or tomorrow morning!

 

No worries. Save for Web and devices comes in handy for the amount of pics ^^.

 

I am looking for opponents that are willing to do a series of duels against me on Feral Druid on Sunday the 22/3 19:00 CET - Tournament Realm (Eu)

 

Famous and infamous names, I dont really care as long as you are good ;) I will use some of the footage I get from the duels for my upcoming video that I plan to do in the near future. I highly suggest that the ones who do not wish to apear on fraps footage, to simply not duel me.

 

Rules:

There is only one rule. Potions are not allowed, if they would be avaible for purchase, which I think they are.

 

Conclusion: Exploit the dueling area as much as you want to.

 

LOCATION: Gurubashi Arena in STV

A picture says more then thousand words. So I'll keep this short, "shadowfrost" is cool.

 

Stoa, 22 min of fighting ... I'm abit scared over that a shadowpriest

was able to dish out that amount of dmg, seeing that they will get some nice boosts in 3.1 :O

Group play of the Continentals

 

As you may know, our performance during this even wasn´t the best but, to be honest our group wasn´t exactly easy either :P

 

This was the final standing of our group

1.SK EU

2.Mousesport Cake

3.x6tence.AMD wow

4.Tera-Gaming

5.Fnatic.Eu <- Us

6.aaa Casuals

 

I won´t comment further on games since they weren´t that interesting except our game against SK.Eu, Hunter/Dk/Paladin vs Paladin/Dk/Rogue. As a few of you know we were in the lead with 2-0 in the start of the game against them, but that was mainly due to Xom playing Mutilate. Once he swapped to Shadowdance there was no chance in the world to prevent that kill on our hunter, in the last game I swapped to my feral druid to get some more pressure upon Xom, but was unable to prevent the death of my hunter.

 

Due to us not qualifying for the globals my teammates decided to go home earlier which left me somewhat alone a few days, but I had a blast anyway xD. The day the american wow players arrived was quite interesting to be honest. They just seemed to be different then the european ones, it might be their experiance of LAN events? They were super social and all of them seemed to be really nice guys. Glickz and Hafu made an appearance aswell because they were assigned to do some MSI stuff at the exposition. You could tell from miles away when Hafu entered the building, She steamrolled the place with her energy! I was abit chocked to see that kind of energy from a gamer, since gamers are usually very calm. That evening a few of us went to the "after Cebit" party at one of the Halls. Happyminti, Azeal, Sanches, Hafu, Venruki, Innerfire, Phildryzen and many more. James (2gd) had tipped us of that you could get unlimited beer for 1 Euro over there. You could just refill your bottle as many times as you wanted to. Pretty awesome IMO! To bad that it was Heineken tho :<

 

Something that caught my eye on the actualy exposition was the 3D Television. I've always thought of it as a complete joke, but then I decided to put on those glasses that you have to wear and I got soooo chocked. I saw the butterflies just infront of my face and the tree´s and everything had depth and it really gave you the illusion of it beeing 3D.

 

So I've finally settled downed and I've also fixed my password issue :D I got a grand story to tell so here it comes (some parts of it)! Here is a few picture's from the event on me and some other known names.

 

I'm the guy next to Orly in the Fnatic shirt. Watching Nihilum Plasma play

 

 

Hogaz in the glasses explaining something to me in the middle.

 

Arrival and our "Hotel"

 

When I arrived at Hannover airport I had to start looking for the esl dudes that were supposed to pick us up from the airport. A Swiss citizen is always punctual and we always expect people to be in time aswell, So I started "running" up and down at the terminals to check if they were waiting in a different arrival terminal, since I didnt find them. After many oh's and a lot of running I found them and Me, Orly and Millenium got shuttled out to where we were going to live. Many may think that we stayed at some hotel but that wasn't the case sadly :<. We were scattared all around Hannover where we stayed in a flat or house at families that had signed up for the duty! Some were more furtunate then others and I actually got split up from my team ><. I had to share the appartment with Terra-Gaming, and they were pretty cool :P so I guess I would consider myself as lucky :P.

 

Cebit

 

The size of the actual exposition was mindblowing. We spent more or less 10 minutes when we drove past it from south entrance to the north entrance, and walking from noth > south the days I took the train was somewhat painful :D.

 

Since this was my first event I didn't know what to expect from how the intel extreme masters hall and I think everyone can agree on that it will be hard to top the layout =). The games that weren't on the stage was easy to watch due them having fences around the area and that allowed everyone that wanted to watch the games to watch the games.

 

I will post the rest later today, or tomorrow. I don't want to creative a huge wall of text, and I'm tired after all the traveling lately xD. It will cover how the games went, what happened outside of the event etc.

 

Today I got the biggest reality check ever! I got so shocked that I started to wonder if Sweden is going under or something. While standing in the queue on Forex I peaked at the exchange rates... something that I regret doing. For 1 Euro I had to pay 11.7 Swedish Kronor. Robbery? Yes Sir.

 

The past days have been stressful, painful and I'm a complete mess. I've spent so much time infront of the computer practicing for the event that my brain is close to fried. Beeing away from arena for almost 1 month before a major event required a big amount of refreshment of situational awareness. You might be curious what comps we are going to run but I'm not going to tell ya! The only thing you get to know from me is that I'm going to swap between a Feral Druid and a Death Knight.

 

So, how has the practice gone on the Arena Tournament Realm for us? I believe that we've been doing rather well considering the amount of days we've had together. We haven't really pushed for a high rating since we've mostly been experimenting with comps to be able to be more versatile if we come up against something that our main comp got problems with. I've been practicing a lot of Death Knight, despite it beeing an easy class you still need to get that natural playstyle where you aren't to unsure of what's the best move to go for in every situation.

 

Our main goals is to qualify from the continental group to the global finals, and that in my eyes would be a success given the time together. We are definitely aiming higher but, you need to be realistic sometimes aswell. Some of the teams have been playing together for several seasons and it's just an honor and pleasure to even be able to attend!

 

I've made a compilation of links for those who are interested in watching my games and all the other WoW games during the CeBit event. My teams name is Fnatic.EU btw :P

 

Continental Group Stage, first games

 

Final Playoffs

 

Possible stream

 

Just browse the site in the links to find the stream. You will most likely be able to find it on either mmo champion or World of Ming otherwise, once it's up and running.

 

The trip to Switzerland was nothing but pure awesomeness! Good Weather, no injures and a fantastic meeting with Nicholas (Kerberus). The bad news however is that my sister is still in Switzerland so I won't be able to upload any pictures yet! But don't worry I got other news that hopefully won't dissapoint you! I will debrief you about the trip later on when I got my pictures. Now over to the interesting news!

 

I'm going to participate in the ESL Continental Finals in Hanover now in a few days ;). My brain keeps telling me that it's unreal and that it has to be somekind of joke but I'm actually going to be there ;) I will give 110% to prove that Serennia is wrong! I got a lot of pressure upon me due to me beeing a movie maker and that I haven't attended any public events. I also know that all the elitists on cyclone will mock me so hard if I fail, so I'm going to give everything and show them that hard work and not giving up can in the end eventually can pay off! Someone doesn't want me to quit on feral druid it seems :O.

 

 

Spotify

 

For those of you who got spotify, here the link to one of my playlists! Would be fun if you posted yours aswell. Sharing music <3

So this is who you need to watch out for in Hannover!

 

 

I'm actually ill on this picture, therefor looking abit moody :P

I mentioned earlier that I would be gone for a few days in february and I'm really looking forward to it because I got some interesting things going during my vacation. I'm actually gonna met up with Kérberus in RL! The creator of "Learn2purr" =). Not only am I going to pay a visit in my home country Switzerland I'm also going to spend a week skiing!

 

I might be able to find a internet café and write an entry from there, but we'll see if I got time or find one. Eitherway, you can expect some RL pictures when I come home for those of you who are interested in how a guy with so much online time looks like!

 

LvLing Report

 

I've recieved a lot of messages asking for my ingame name and what server I play on, since people obviously can't find the armory link down to the left on the site so I'll write it down :D. Chrizlol Undead Rogue - Frostwhisper #Eu and currently lvl 63. I have to say this is probably the best decision I've done in a loooong loong time. I'm having a blast playing a rogue and it fits me perfect, but it might also be that it's an easy class to play?

 

It feels as the long term experiance of playing the game helps out a lot. When you play a feral druid your job is mainly to counter your opponents move and predict what his next will be. You can obviously control the fight as a feral aswell but you aren't in control of the battle. As a rogue I can control the fight and steer it almost exactly where I want it to, and you kan really do some nice moves with killing spree vanish or shadowstep. Immuning Blinds, HoJ etc is so easy with Killing Spree and I can see combat beeing somewhat viable in 3.1 when you play with a healer in 2v2. Not that I'm going to play combat since I want to play shs / cb due to fleetfooted and obviously shs :P

 

Picture Creation

 

It's fun to see that I've started to recieve more and more emails about creating logo's and pictures. Here's a few summary pictures that I have done, and I'm looking forward in seeing the movies in the future!

 

 

 

 

And here's an 100x100 picture. Works perfect for Msn =)

 

 

 

There is always new things to learn no matter how good or bad you are on something, and I thought that making a compilation of useful sites wouldn't hurt!

Photoshop

 

psdtuts.com is one of the best psd turtorials out there imo! It caters both the experianced and inexperianced photoshoppers. If you haven't visited the site before then I highly recommend you to do so! :D

 

Link: http://psdtuts.com/

 

Dvno1 gave me a link to a very good site aswell, and whats fun about this page is that they add new stuff on a daily basis. There really is a lot of incredible tuts that you can find here. Sick site!

Pictures and Textures

 

Have you ever come to the scenario where you want to add content to your project that you don't have on your hdd? I'm speaking of background papers or even effects that you can't create on your own and you need a camera and some awesome shots to get the effects you want? Here are two sites that are really good, which will enhance your editing even further.

 

Here is one where you actually need to pay a few dollars / picture but the quality of the pictures are definitely worth the money. They are outstanding in everyway!

 

Link: http://www.fotolia.com/Info/Contents/Images

 

The second one is actually free, but you won't be able to get the same quality here. It's way better then searching on google and there is a bunch of incredible pictures here aswell don't get me wrong =)

While I'm having a small break from levling I felt that I had time to announce what I promised on my previous entry.

 

Let's start of with the obvious! I've decided to do one more comeback (I'm hopeless I know) and this time I wanted to do something completely different, so I decided that I want to invest the rest of my wow career on playing a rogue. So I deleted all my chars and sent over what I required to level my rogue and started from square 1 without raf.

 

The reason why I've chosen a rogue is because feral has been starting to drift towards BM hunter playstyle and I want to play with finesse. Seeing that a rogue is somewhat related to catform and that I enjoy playing rogue style on my druid makes the transition to a rogue rather smooth. I can already tell you that I'm going to play a build containg shadowstep ;). And now over to the more exciting news!!

 

 

I'm offering to help out those who seek help with Sony Vegas and Adobe Photoshop.

 

Those who are working with a somewhat serious movie project and/or in need of a picture that suits their purpose, then don't hesitate to contact me on schmidsson@hotmail.com. I'm willing to edit / create logos and signatures for free and If you are living somewhere in range of Malmö then I could possibly edit a Wow/Cs movie for you. I'm doing it in educational purpose so it's a win / win situation. I get something to work with, and you get something instead of me throwing it into the trashcan.

 

A few of my recent creations:

 

 

 

 

 

 

If there is any request of something that I feel is to hard for me, then I will forward it to the PS pro Dvno1! I think many of you who visits WCM on a daily basis knows who this guy is.

 

The next entry will be filled with links and pages to enhance your editing. I got few sites that I want to share with you because they are so awesome and they really help you to find good solutions to your editing problems.

 

I'm going on vacation between the 14th and 25th February so

don't expect me to be able to get in touch with me during those days.

 

 

 

 

Here are a few changes that I would like to see implemented. I think they are reasonable and to balance out Rend and Tear I thought of Improved Charge which would help feral druids to lock out a healer in catform when it's really needed. The Bear charge should help out Ferals who are playing with a more fragile healer. We lack peeling and it could be a nice addition.

 

Rend and Tear

This talent has to get changed since it's out of control in PvP and it's such a stupid talent in general since fero bite isn't part of our DPS cycle in PvE. My suggestion is to keep the shred bonus damage and change the +crit chance on fero bite to something that would increase the sustained damage output.

 

This could be solved by increasing our flat damage with a certain percent or increasing our damage with bleed effects, since that is where our main damage comes from PvE wise.

 

New Talent: Improved Charge

(2 min cd - 45p talent - No gcd - 15s Duration)

 

After using Feral Charge (Cat) your next maim will not require any combo points, but it will reset the combo points on your current or previous target. I'm obviously speaking of a one combo point maim.

 

Allowes you to Feral Charge (Bear) a friendly unit in addition to it's previous effects. The friendly unit will take 50% less damage during the imobilize effect and lasts until canceled. The feral charge should be considered a buff rather then a debuff in this case but with the same effect.

 

Ferocious Bite

This ability shouldn't convert the remaining energy to damage. It's not helping our PvE damage and the crits in PvP are to high.

 

Primal Tenacity and Brutal Impact

Change the position of primal tenacity with Nurturing Instincts but give the reduced shapeshifting cost to NI and link the talents together.

 

Change The position of Brutal Impact and Shredding attacks this would allow resto druids to spend less points in the feral tree but gaining maximum benefit so that they dont have to spend so many points on useless crap. With these changes they could get Tree of Life.

 

 

Next entry will be about giving something back to the community that helped me getting where I am today.

 

So here I am levling my RL rating for once, but anyway there is some questions that I need to answer! Rumour is spreading very fast and I haven't been in the mood to comment on my decision until now. It actually happened this morning to be frank. Let's dig deeper for once.

 

I started playing a druid, and as I enjoyed playing feral I began the journey as feral druid during week-ends in vanilla wow. Feral wasn't accepted amongst the Pve community and I totally agreed on that it was beyond bad, but I never gave up and I was trying to change people's attitude. Stubborn as I am when it comes to things I enjoy, I kept on playing this gimped spec in hope for blizzard to solve the issues in the feral tree. The road has been long and I have waited, waited, complained and had some issues on the way. There has been several occasions where I gave up the hope, but I always returned because I loved to play the game.

 

I'm almost happy with where Feral Druids are today, except that I can not agree on certain talents which will be covered in the next blog entry. Anyway back to the topic. As I said before, today's issues aren't about the classes itself, it's about the general belief in what PvP stands for. It should be something that is fun, and it should get rewarded properly. Blizzard has yet not been able to recreate lvl 60 World PvP and that is due to them not giving us areas such as Blackrock mountain or our beloved farming place down in south-east in Eastern Plaguelands ;). On top of that, they've been interfering with the item level budget of resilience, making it a stat that is less desirable for some classes and is gimping the classes that are in need of the resilience. They fail to see that it's a dubble nerf to the ones who needs it, since by equiping it they loose crucial mana regen or offensive power. I believe that damage is somewhat over the top which they will look closely to get it where they want to.

 

The issue is their attitude to the game. They've lost respect due to the popularity of the game and aren't treating us the way they should. I belive this game could have achieved a lot more then it already has, if they would rushed the PROPPER things instead of a lot of UNLOGICAL things. Will get to that later on.

 

The new arena system wasn't on the PTR but they decided to throw it in, and now the arenas are back up and they haven't given us a straight answer to how it works since they aren't FINISHED with it yet. They don't know if it's going to work, but they are assuming that it's going to even out after some weeks. They are unawere of the issue at hand with Hidden Personal Rating. I'm going to tell you why. This will further SPLIT the game into SKILL BASED game and make it MORE ELITIST then it already is. This is not a bad thing for a competetive enviroment don't get me wrong, but .. here comes the big BUTT. IT'S AN MMO, we shouldn't have to care with whom we are playing with. YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO ENYOJ THE GAME in the same way if you aren't playing with the ones of your own kind. First of all, when this system is gonna turn out to be a system where the bad players or average players are going to feel bad about them ruining good players hidden rating or making it harder for the one who plays a few "fun" games with a friend who is a 2500 player. They will not have fun that's for sure... We don't have to determine someone's skill, the ladder worked as it did before and you should PROMOTE team jumping instead of PUNISHING IT EVEN FURTHER. People will not team jump on the same extent anymore, because the grind to a higher team rating will be harder then before.

 

I've been enduring 4 years of waiting and once my spec finally is on par with other classes they decide to royally screw their working system up completely. People still play the game for entertainment purposes even though we are elitists....

 

Don't worry, I'm going to continue blogging and I will still follow the wow scene. You won't get rid of me that easy LOL. Anyway I'm back to working on my Photoshop skillz and my next entry! No hard feelings, but I've gone to the butcher with my cow and all my other characters. 

 

If you didn't make sense of my previous post + this post then I'll help you by saying that I have officially quit the game :P

 

More work less talking blizz. Grow some balls and start throwing out some changes before half of the community has left the game. So fucking sick of this shit game atm that I'm puking gnomes. We haven't been able to PvP since pre 3.0. You couldn't anticipate that ret paladins were going to be 2 shotting people back then, what gives me any faith that you will be able to fix the damage which is out of control atm.

 

I'm out of words for the retarded state of PvP. If PVP had HIV before wotlk then it definitely developed AIDS by the time 3.0 hit. The 17th december was the day blizzard shot themselves in the foot. SEND A GUARDIAN ANGEL TO BLIZZARD! May Elune guide their path in allowing people to kill eachother in one global cd instead of two, so MR playing 1 hour / week can be competitive aswell.

SCREW YOU! I'm off to bed, and hope that I won't be so angry when I wake up tomorrow... (Lost 45 rating tonight so NERD RAGE? No, I would say that I'm a very pissed of and annoyed customer)

 

Tonights hate list

 

1. Feral druids for beeing so shit. Replace Beserk with something useful as "Iceblock" or vanish. Who wants more damage seriously...

2. BM hunters for keyboard turning and facerolling themselves to the top

3. Arcane mages for beeing so skilled and rolling crits all day long. Climax everytime I see a 6k Arcane barrage on 650 resilience. I wish I could do that damage while having instant invis and IB aswell...

 

It's really starting to shine through that blizzard really wants the new patch to solve many of the issues out there without doing some major overhauls. Looking into cross-spec issues and some lackluster talents would further delay this patch but it's nice some progress after all these weeks. Looks promising if everything hits live :D

 

• All Silence spells now have diminishing returns. This includes: Arcane Torrent, Garrote silence effect, Improved Counterspell effect, Improved Kick effect, Silence, Gag Order, Silencing Shot, Spell Lock, and Strangulate.
• Dispel Resist talents have changed to protect only beneficial spells and damage over time effects.
• Shield Wall, Barkskin, Guardian Spirit, and Divine Protection are now off the Global Cooldown

 

Taking the essential defensive cd's off gcd will further increase the skill-cap by heading towards a more reaction based game. It's a change I've been wanting for a long time and it's a nice change for all druid specs. Regarding the topic of DR on silences, they've were going to add that back in s3 or s4 I believe but it never hit the live servers. The reason back then was that classes like paladins and shamans could get locked out so easy by just chain interupting their heals, making them completely useless. Now we are facing a problem with healers just dying right of the bat. Chain silencing without interupting a cast is just dumb, and it's a called and needed change.

 

The recent rewording of Dispel Resist talents makes me abit worried. I sure do hope that by beneficial spells they mean + damage debuffs. Crowd controls are by all means beneficial spells to throw upon people xD.

 

• Racial restrictions on mounts have now been lifted. Night Elves on mechanostriders? Taurens on raptors? You're not seeing things.

 

Finally some justice in the world! Taurens racial issue has now been lifted and we aren't a hated race among the npc's anymore. They've accepted our obvious weight issue.

 

Here are a few notes for those of you who haven't read them. These are most likely going to hit the live servers in 3.0.8. Swipe and Primal tenaticy are needed changes for sure.

• Primal Tenacity: Now reduces the cost of Bear Form, Cat Form, and Dire Bear Form by 17/33/50% in addition to its previous effects.
• Savage Roar: The buff now persists outside of Cat Form but only provides its benefits while in Cat Form.
• Survival of the Fittest: This talent now grants 22/44/66% bonus armor in Bear Form and Dire Bear Form in addition to all of its previous effects.
• Swipe: Swipe (Cat) has now been added at level 71, dealing 260% weapon damage, costs 50 energy with no cooldown. All talents affecting the Bear Form version affect the Cat Form one as well.

Yes this is true!

Thanks for all the warm comments! The feeling of the feedback is totally worth the hard work and it's what keeps you going as a moviemaker. I could only hope that feral druids around the world would start working on some movie projects. It's an amazing legacy you put behind you, it's like a photoalbum :D. Would be really fun to see more druids stepping out and showing us some pew pew. The interesting fact is, that you learn so much from creating movies, it's almost pathetic. I've spotted so much that I didn't know about and you can really perfect stuff while looking at a clip 1000 times when you edit something.

 

If you need help in getting started then don't hesitate to contact me through wcm/mail/msn or whatever method you may figure out:P. We've all been there and it's not easy to scrap everything together on your own. Took me ages to learn vegas properly. Nately was never satisfied with my edits so he really pushed me into learning it ;)

 

 

 

Disclaimer: I'm not a doctor nor having any further experiance then highschool knowledge on this subject. Most of this is probably common knowledge but it's definitely worth mentioning.

 

Let's have a look on the list below. I don't think there is any disagreement on that part. It's listed with the most essential things for our survival.

 

1. Oxygen

2. Water and Food

3. Sleep

4. Money (In our society atleast)

5. Physical Activity

 

Gamers are the ones that are playing around with nr.3 a lot. Destroying your sleeping pattern completly isn't doing your body any good. When you aren't having any regular sleeping pattern then your intake of food will also get changed. I've been there myself and I'm 100% sure that you have been there aswell. You don't feel well and your energy level is way bellow from where it should be. Perhaps are you experiencing that you are getting sleepy during the day? Many people do and it's something that is effecting your work and your personal life. Think about it twice! We are talking about sleeping and eating, which in the end is so easy to solve that you can not blame anyone but yourself for feeling so shit.

Physical Activity

Now this is a topic that I know many of our kind disgust beyond healthy food. Let's take an example of why this will BUFF your performance without no effort at all. All it requires is that you aren't so lazy and stubborn. let's start with the small but the most important steps.

 

 

1. Avoid long periods of gaming without any breaks and with a break I mean 20-60 seconds. What we are talking about is the circulation of your blood which we need to get going so that you aren't getting tired. 

 

Let's say that you are raiding, you've downed a boss and there is no loot for you then get off your chair and go down and do a few sit-ups / push-up or whatever you prefer. This will not only increase your performance, it will also help you to build some muscles!

 

2. Going for a walk is the next step, if you are feeling more fit then you could expand that to go out running or perhaps even do a full body work-out every third day or something, since when you are sitting on a chair this much, then your upper body needs to get trained. The reason behind why you should exercise your upper body is to loose some of the tension in your neck / back. If you don't like the method of "torturing" yourself, then I recommend you to buy Nintendo Wii. This will keep you in shape without having the element "It's booring", and you are having fun while doing what you hate :P

 

A short wall of text, but this needs to get more attention then it does. Lifestyle related diseases are a growing problem in our modern society. To be honest, it's worse then robbing a bank. We are paying their hospital bills... speaking of countries like Sweden. WHY do you think you need to wait like 8 hours +++ when you need to visit the emergency ward? Not entirely true, but it all adds up. We need to focus on preventing the issue rather then curing it. My two cents.

There has been some questions around if DOOM SQUAD disbanded or what actually happened. I'm going to reveal what happend from my point of view.

 

It all started with us migrating to Stormscale due to various reasons, but the main reason was probably that Ithius, Helvetica and Salli migrated to Stormscale (Cyclone) for better competition. Therefor Agramon decided to make a poll if we wanted to follow em or stay on Frostmane. The majority were interested in following so we all migrated to SS. Everything was good until people actually started to believe in the SK "Cyclone Project". Top players from every BG in europe started to come here, which isn't bad but the sheer amount of pricks that many of these are is mindblowing. The reputation of SS's quality soon made even more people migrate there and you could pretty much see new faces in durotar everyday. To be frank, in the end I just couldn't stand it anymore. An unfriendly server with long queue times and major lag isn't my cup of tea, so I did an irrational decision to migrate back to my old server Executus.

 

At this point our guild had become very fragile. With the constant stream of new good players coming to the server, we couldn't help to recruit some of them. This did somewhat hurt the guild since it wasn't the same feeling anymore. The guild felt artificial, since alot of the newcomers didn't want to or didn't bother to hang out on ventrilo for some reason. A few weeks after my migration the soul of DOOM SQUAD decided to stop playing wow. Without Agramon and both Me and Nilz leaving the guild didn't really make things better. With Wotlk around the corner people started to scatter back to their orgins and the guild did more or less "disband".

 

After many months of inactivity guildwise, we are formally reforming the guild on Frostwhisper EU now. Those of you who feel that they have been part of the past, don't hesitate to contact us / migrate here ;). We've also undertaken a serious name change since DOOM SQUAD already was taken by some lowbies on this server. We are now named DOOMSQUAD :O. It's a tragedy I know :<, but I hope that despite this litle inconvenience that we will be able to re-establish a playerbase that we all are comfortable with. I believe that we will have to recruite some players depending on the amount of people who have quit the game / not willing to transfer.

As for now we got Saravok, Dilir, Nilz and Me here. Fait is coming and so is our troll hunter! Cytydhdjcxdf or however you want to spell it ;) (Last updated 09/01/05 - 19:00)

 

GET THE FUCK TO FROSTWHISPER NAOW!

 

TFC9 Update

I've decided to delay the movie until I'm 100% happy with it. I can't really estimate how long time it will take, but it wont take more then 3 weeks. The reason behind this is because I owe you a movie that isn't recorded within a few days for once ;)

 

 

 

 

Thanks a lot for all the tips I have recieved. I hope that I will be able to surpass your expectations by a mile ;)

 

After creating 9 PvP movies altogether that has gone public the way it has, gives me some sort of concern regarding the content "Music". My playlists are biting the dust and so is my enthusiasm to simply search around on youtube for countless hours.

 

If you have seen my previous works and/or know a few songs that you think will fit and are awesomecake to listen to then please throw a comment. I'm not like neilyo, that on purpose ruins a great clip with some retarded tune that makes it dull and I'm not like Noone either that spends 99% of his time trying to find THE perfect song for THE perfect clip to get the intended feeling.

 

Chrillz's to weak and falls asleep 23:30. Here is my contribution!

 

I will never edit a clip while having a song that I dislike. Editing isn't really OMG PHUN, but thats pretty much dependant on if you have good songs and hopefully uncommon ones that you haven't listened to 100 times. The perfect feeling is to have shit loads of music prepared, so you don't start running out of songs halfway through.

 

My music taste goes from Classic music > Death Metal. Which means pretty much that I like every genre but... It has it's limitations. I can buy semi bad rock songs but I can't buy bad Metal songs or classic songs, since they are so extreme that they have to be top notch to be remotely enjoyable.

 

TIPZ PLX!

 

Seriously this site is worth to mention. Fucking hell :O

http://www.drakedog.tv/

ME LIKE that playlist :DD

 

I'm sorry for the inactivity when it comes to posting, but I didn't have to much time over x-mas and the fact that I'm having a blast with Nintendo Wii doesn't help it either! Anyway, I've started working with another TFC project. Makes the honor farming abit more entertaining!

 

What to expect:

• 2v2 Feral Rogue and Disc DK
• Battlegrounds
• A few duels
  

 

I can highly recommend Boxing on Wii sports ;) Happy Holidays!

There has been alot of negative discussions and even from my side regarding how the state of PvP is nowadays. I'm however starting to see the light in this dark dark tunnel. With a few tweaks here and there and people finally getting the resilience needed to survive those extra seconds, then we can expect PvP on a level that is acceptable.

 

Me and Nilz had some interesting games tonight and we even came up against Mr Acrono! It was rather late so we weren't able to get that many games against eachother, but we got 2 games atleast! (1-1). We do have the upper hand against them since Acrono is running Spriest, Multi/prep rogue which gives his priest little to no survival chance at all. The game where we lost gave me a swift view how it could look like once people are in full honor gear. While I was trying to drop his priest Nilz (My rogue) was only trying to peel Ac as much as possible, which in the end didn't turn out so well but the game lasted surprisingly long. I guess in the end it was the lack of comunication and Nilz's low resilience that turned the table in this game, but the game was as long as an average 70 dubble dps mirror back then. Epic battle to be honest, screw your damn rocket boots Ac! I would have brought home a victory there for sure! The tactic that I usually tend to use against Rogue/Priest regardless of specs on them is that I open up on the priest in catform with my rogue ready to cheap shot their rogue once he openes on me. If their rogue trinkets kidney it's into a blind, if he doesn't just dismantle and get on the priest. The win of ours was a stupid and retarded yet not no skill zerg on the priest. Clutch blind from Nilz on a ks trinket which could have been deadly cb evis on me in cat form if it would have landed any later then it did o//.

 

 

If you have taken a look at SK100 http://www.sk-gaming.com/arena/teamthen you'll see that Paladin / UH - DK is the hottest and best comp out the as of now, and it will probably remain strong for quite some time. If you remember how s1 looked liked, then you will know that Disc Priest / Rogue is one of the top comps out there and they are already doing well. It won't take long until we see them climbing up higher and higher once the priest can start to play more offensive.

 

A few comps that I feel are very strong atm, but this is just from what I have seen from the perspective of playing Feral/Rogue and Blood PvE Dk / Disc Priest

• Priest Rogue
• Death Knight Paladin
• Priest Hunter
• Paladin Hunter
• Feral Paladin
• Feral Rogue

 

Managed to climb up to 1820 tonight, not that it's any good but it's aleast something! And even though I sometimes feel that feral is horribly bad, I still feel that they will become somewhat good this season! Ferals do shine now with people on low resilience but they will still maintain somekind of viability once people got their gear, thats for sure!

 

Tune of the week! This is what I call fucking madness when it comes to guitarr tapping. Never Seen anyone build his entire playstyle upon tapping.

 

 

I have to say that I'm not very pleased with arena in it's current form. It's however very early to make any drastic conclusions, since we need to find out what high resilience will do until changes can be made. I'm very concerned with the future of certain classes, especially those who can not prevent themselves from soaking a massive amount of pressure such as Priests, Resto Druids and Warlocks. You see them as free honor kills at the moment, and they are hunted down as if they were some kind of animal. The pace of the games has since 3.0 been increased and this means that openers are so important that a lucky unstealth, is the difference between a win or a loss. We are speaking of random elements coming in to play way more often then before. In a long game, it tends to even out somewhat, but in short and fast paced games RNG Isn't ALLOWED to happen. We do not possess the ability to manually avoid attacks so you could say that we are playing poker. Some games you'll get steamrolled by Royal Straigh Flush plain and simpe.

 

With KT25 weapons beeing way ahead of deadly glad weapons and knowing that they can not wait until the end of season 6 with Ulduar makes the PvP front questionable. What and how are they thinking? Obviously the Pve wpns should be better by a small margin, the weapon rating is afterall 2030 which isn't easy to obtain for the casual gamer. Deadly SHOULD be above KT10 wpns dps wise not on par with them... Nax 25 man is so easy that you can already PUG it. Makes sense does it? Fuck no.

 

 

Let's go over to somethin useful instead. There is no doubt that dubble dps comps is the way to go until the healers except paladins are decked out in honor gear. My advice to you is! Openers means a lot, think twice before engaging combat. Watch out for Ferals and Retadins, big warning sign "BURST".

 

Managed to get to 1700 + last night with some problems in the start, to the mentioned issue above. Royal Flushed is nice! Came up against lolflay and azael last night (Spriest / Haunt Lock) and I have to say that it was the most awkward game I have ever played. My rogue using the HAT pve spec, so he aint bursting that badly and the lock still went down before the priest had time to land a prayer of mending (Sap is overkill). I dished out 16k damage within 2 global cooldowns. Balanced don't you think? I had 470 resilience, so I'm not even using full pve gear.

 

Nilz you better start farming honorz or we will be sub 1300 scrubs with our dk / disc priest comp! 12-13k hp buffed is game breaking ><

For those of you who are interested in beeing ahead of the general wow population in an economical way, then start collecting Relics of Ulduar or atleast save them.

 

18:30 CET - Relic of Ulduar - aren't soulbound anymore.

The Iron Boot Flask now costs 250 Relic of Ulduar.
You can now use Relic of Ulduar to level your reputation with the Sons of Hodir. Hodir's Tribute is a repeatable quest and will give you 250 (275 as a human) reputation for each turn-in.

Where are all the Transmution recipe's?

 

I was wondering this myself, so I looked it up and apperently you have to discover them... I thought that they had ditched that stupid idea long ago. If you read the tooltip on Transmute: Titanium then you'll see if you want proof! Doing the Titanium transmute is however something you do earn money on so it's just to keep on doing them, especially if you have a character with mining. That's for now! I'm abit busy with the Death Knight leveling ;)

 

This is for those of you who haven’t played and doesn’t have a clue what the living x-mas tree is doing. I’m starting of with the basics and then going into more detailed information. If you know how a death knight works then have a look at Acrono's article regarding Shaman and Dk's. http://acrono.dingblog.com/blog.php?loadblog

Runes and Runic Power

There are three different type of runes, blood, frost and unholy runes and you got 2x of every kind. They work like an energy bar more or less, since you can get the runes to flow by using them in a smart way. Every rune has a 10s cooldown and it’s around the runes your main damage abilties are built around. We also have something called runic power (RP), which works like warriors rage basically. You gain rp by using your runes, and it unlocks abilties like “pummel”, “ranged silence”, death coil and anti magic shell etc. There is also something called death runes, and they are abit special since they are both 1 blood, 1 frost or 1 unholy rune. You gain these of procs or by using an ability called blood tap (2min cd). A death rune consumes a frost / unholy in order to become one. Something to watch out for is Death and Decay, since many dk's are using this as a bloodrage before the fights starts. They are more then happy to throw one on a random spot to get you out of stealth.

 

Diseases

 

The death knights diseases are important to be able to maximize their damage output. Their function isn't only to deal damage over time, they also increases the death knights damage and healing done. They have many abilties that gain + damage of the amount of diseases on the target, but this only works on their own diseases. It doesn't stack with devouring plague or other dk's.

How is the death knight healing him/herself?

 

There are several “healing” spells and they do come at a cost. When you think about it, it’s not that many abilties afterall. These are the main ones.

Death Strike: A deadly attack that deals 60% weapon damage plus 178.2 and heals the Death Knight for a percent of damage done for each of the diseases on the target. Instant cast. Melee range. Costs 1 Unholy Rune and 1 Frost Rune.
Rune Tap:(Blood talent) Converts 1 Blood Rune into 10% of your maximum health. 1 Minute Cooldown (can be spec'ed down to 30s cd). Costs 1 Blood Rune.
Vampiric Blood:(Blood talent) Increases the amount of health generated through spells and effects by 50% for 20 sec. Costs 1 Blood Rune, 1 Minute Cooldown.

Important abilities and extended information regarding them

 

Anti-Magic Shell: Surrounds the Death Knight in an Anti-Magic Shell, absorbing 75% of the damage dealt by harmful spells and preventing application of harmful magical effects. Damage absorbed by Anti-Magic Shell energizes the Death Knight with additional runic power. Lasts 5 sec, 1 min cooldown. This means that you can use your shell to prevent polymorphs, death coils, fears, and most importantly Frost nova ;)
Strangulate: Strangulates an enemy, silencing them for 5 sec, and deals 110 Shadow damage at the end of the effect. 30 yard range and 2min cooldown. Not much to much say about this ability except that it requires a blood rune to use.
Icebound Fortitude: The Death Knight freezes his blood to become immune to Stun effects and reduces all damage taken by 50% for 12 sec. Does not remove existing Stun effects. 1 min cooldown, 0-20 runic power depending on if you have the glyph or not. This is probably going to be the one of those abilties that requires a lot of “I have a feeling” for stuns and possible switches.

Mark of blood:(Blood talent) Place a Mark of Blood on an enemy. Whenever the marked enemy deals damage to a target, that target is healed for 4% of its maximum health. Lasts for 20 sec. If you are fighting a death knight who is blood specced, then keep an eye on this debuff. Nasty as hell :P

 

Serennia made this awesome post some days ago. Very informative and worthwile reading. http://wowriot.gameriot.com/blogs/World-of-Ming/How-to-prepare-for-Arena-in-2-weeks.

We can choose between 4 item budgets

• Good quality pve gear
• Bad quality pve gear
• Crafted pvp gear
• Brutal gear

This is what I’m going to use

I’ve been trying out a lot of different gear options, due to me beeing able to use nax 25 man gear. What I’m running now is a mix of everything. I believe season 5 is going to be Damage > Stamina > Resilience just like in the start of season 1. But whatever you choose there are always downsides with your itemization. Therefore I’m trying to get the last option without sacrificing to much damage and stamina. I’m a feral druid so the 4 set bonus from the pvp set is very valuable to me, which further increases my survivability. My idea is to use full pve gear thus keeping the 4x brutal + the deadly chest. The brutal parts are defensively gemmed and enchanted to gain as much resilience as possible. After landing on 341 resilience, 19k hp, 40% crit and almost 6k ap with motw I felt that I had room for getting atleast 1 blue crafted part seeing that I had bad bracers to begin with.

 

After some theorycrafting I started gemming up and enchant my stuff to check out how it would work. Trying it in a battlegrounds may not be the best since you are fighting undergeared people to begin with, but I have to say that the resilience boost increased my survivability dramaticly compared to full pve gear + insignia. As a feral druid we can not avoid damage in open field combat, due to the nature of our class. Going into the arena with people knowing or figuring out that you are wearing full pve gear will make things harder. My tip of the day is to grab as much stamina and resilience as possible without gimping yourself. Damage will rule in the start and there will be some quick games, but don’t be fooled. Resilience still works wonders ;). Don’t forget that this are assumptions, no one knows how things are going to turn out. Good quality Pve gear will however remain very very very strong.

 

How much did I loose in raw stats on swapping to this gear? around 2k hp, 600-700 ap and 4% crit. Out of topic, I'm going to replace that filthy Night Elf douchebag with a RL picture whenever I can get hold of a camera. SO RARE these days, christ sake!

 

To be frankly I got nothing to write about today ... That means that I have to start word-pooing! I just pulled myself from the couch after a pretty pleasant watch (Siderman3, lol) and now I’m trying to find something to say but I feel that we need some fresh air here. Why not use our brain for once. I love to solve problems that doesn’t require mathematical knowledge beyond Einstein. So I’m going to give you a problem where you have to think outside the box.

It’s dark outside, and you have spotted the gatekeeper walking down the road in Silverpine forest, unprotected and vulnerable. This is your chance and you are fully aware of the issue at hand if you miss your shot. You aim and you manage to strike him in the heart! You grab his key and you are running towards the gate, once there you realize that there is something missing. There is this code and one digit is missing. You need to figure it out before the patrol is coming! The task is to explain the system behind the code. You need to add the digit 7 to the code.

HERE IS THE CODE: 8 5 4 9 1 6 3 2

Example: 8 (7) 5 4 9 1 6 3 2

If you figure out this system within 24 hours, then I will award you with something. The prize is yet to be decided!

WHO IS THE SMARTEST IN AZEROTH ?!

 

Our dps cycle is definitely one of the hardest ones, not saying that it’s hard to begin with. It’s just that there is alot of stuff to keep track of, such as mangle duration, rake duration and keeping savage roar up and not to forget that we are getting clearcasts... If you are pvp specced it’s even worse, then you have to keep using Tiger’s Fury which is a 30s cooldown aswell. The finisher move to use depends on what boss and what kinds of mobs you are on, usually rip is the way to go but if you are fighting bosses like loatheb or trash mobs then fero bite is prefered.

Let’s start with having a look into our talents. Which spec is the most versatile one and which one increases our raw damage the most.

Maximized Damage spec This spec is without doubt the best possible damage spec you can have, but there is however room for improvement if you drop infected wounds or feral agression for king of the jungle. I wouldn’t do that though, since king of the jungle is a nightmare to use and feral agression is nice with rend and tear.

Most Versatile spec This is a spec that I would use in my current position in the guild. I’m dpsing more then I’m tanking, but it does happen that I have to offtank abit now and then. You can improve your tanking or dps if you do like someone pointed out to me. You drop 3 points in natural shapeshifter since mana problems isn't a huge issue except when you have to offheal due to various reasons, which does happen when a fight isn't properly executed e.g a healer dies.

I’ve spent some time on the Heroic boss training dummy to see how I can improve my dps since a working cycle is really hard to figure out. The more I tried to do certain moves in a specific order, the harder it became and the dps difference wasn’t to big either. Then I came up with an interesting idea. Since we have clearcast procs and some of us might use tiger’s fury, why not let the duration of Savage Roar determine what abilties we shall use?

This may sound hard but it isn't! You keep doing your normal rotation that you would have done on 70 but you also keep up rake since it has been buffed like hell. Whenever savage roar is about to fade you use the combo points that you currently have on the target for the savage roar. This means that you “only” have to worry about keeping SR up since the other stuff is so natural by now. An addon for this would have made it so much easier since checking your buff list is a pain, especially in a 25 man raid. If you are going to use Beserk then use it while you have some energy (Around 80ish so you don't waste your beserk nor energy). It's not really effective if you pop it at low energy since it's not like AR Rush ;)

Example

Mangle > Roar > Rake > 1-2 Shreds > Wait for energy > Rip > Mangle > Rake > Shred > BLING BLING Roar is fading so I use Roar > Shred > MANGLE IS FADING so I use Mangle > Rake > Rip ... etc etc.

This is written under the influence of me beeing in my retarded thinking state. I do not consider myself as special, but I've always been thinking about death, meaning of life and other similiar questions at a very early stage of my life. In other words, this is some deep stuff.

I was sitting up late this evening watching a few of my favourite series when I started to think once again, how pathetic life actually is. We know that life got no purpose except the biological one. Which may be a reason why we constantly are setting up new goals. How can we find a purpose to live without those goals and dreams? Is there ever a time in your life where you aren’t struggeling to reach one? Even though it’s a small one. As a kid we got dreams of becoming something, something big. But as times goes by you start to think: “Is this really what I want to become?” then you start questioning yourself if you are suited for this afterall. I for one knew on an early age that football was my thing. I soon became a very promising football player. I had a goal, a dream and the talent. But why didn’t I continue? The answer is plain and simple. Somewhere on that road I lost something that could potentially have made me reach that goal. My dream wasn't the same as before. It was altered by something I still haven't figured out yet, and therefor I could no longer compete with the ones that still had their same goal. It may have been by the time I discovered my true passion which is gaming. If you can read behind the lines I guess you may know where I’m heading. Believing in yourself is something that is and always will remain something very valuable. You may not be the best, you may fail several times, heck you may even never manage to become or reach whatever you desire. What is important is the path to that goal, that path is what makes it worth living. That path is your experiance, your legacy and most importantly... your life.

 

Don’t ever be ashamed over any part of your life. Rather look at it this way. Be afraid of what you haven’t done and tried. Many people may look down on gamers and other kind of hobbies etc. You do what you do because it makes you happy, as long as you go hand in hand with the so called real life then you have nothing to worry about. If people say that spending to much time on the computer makes you dumb, then they are blatantly wrong. This world is built upon knowledge. The internet is filled with it. Nuff said.

Here is an awesome song combined with a movie that I would reccomend watching!

It's about this guy who dreamt about the future or was given a chance to relive a certain time of his life to make up the tragedy he caused. It's a love story and it's definatly a wake up call for some people.

Marilyn contacted me if I was interested in beeing part of this project, and I couldn't more then accept his offer. I have high hopes for this site and I'm going to try my best to keep my blogg fresh and updated with new and interesting entries. So here I am, perhaps an introduction is overkill but for those who doesnt know here we go!

I’m a Feral Druid who has been playing since the release of world of warcraft and it started with me beeing very interested in duellin for the purpose of beeing able to defend myself. This soon turned out to be where I wanted to excel myself in. But why did I choose feral? The answer is pretty easy, it’s so damn fun. I’m a person who likes challanges and you will often find me willing to be different even in RL ;). Trying to be competetive as feral can however be very frustrating which is the only downer, but if you enjoy playing a spec that much it doesn’t matter. Having fun is in the end the essence of playing a game isnt it =)? I’m mostly known due to my “The Fat Cow” Pvp series and the 2v2 movie, me and Nately made after obtaining 2500 + as Feral Druid / Mage in s1.I've also been part of a big pvp guild called DOOM SQUAD, who nowadays is a mere group of friends spread across different realms.

 

You can expect this blogg to be focused on the PvP aspect of the game mostly regarding the Druid and the Death Knight class. Ironically I’m very tempted to spend alot of time on my Death Knight after discovering unholy pressence. Reduced gcd (global cooldown) with 0.5s allowes me to play way more fast paced, which is something I’ve wished blizzard to fix for ages. The current gcd timer is a big slap in the face when it comes to certain abilities. They are atleast taking a step in the right direction by removing the gcd on interupts.
