Left 4 Dead is ground breaking!
Posted by Jay | Filed under Uncategorized
Left 4 Dead is possibly the single best FPS release since Portal. I imagine Valve will win many awards for this game. Playing with 3 other buddies against a horde of zombies, fighting every step of the way gets my adrenaline going.
Hats off to you Valve. You’ve consistently delivered games far beyond anyones expectations! BRAVO!

Can tomorrow come any quicker please!
My babies are growing up!

I’m so excited! My recruit a friend babies are now 46! Nutu is an amazing Warlock. Persist, my prot paladin is freakin’ amazing! I’ve really enjoyed learning how to (1) Dual box effectively and (2) Skim the surface of each classes abilities. Effective dual boxing isn’t something I’m neccessarily proud of, its more the ability to have more max level characters. Occasionally, a fresh perspective on WoW is needed.
This week will be the big push to 60! With so little time to learn these toons between now and the expansion, getting these extra character to 60 is quite a mission. Symbolically, I’ve made a commitment to Wrought for Destruction. Its the first such commitment since my time way back on Whisperwind. I’ll write a story about that some other day, I promise!

Common Arena Tactics
Posted by Jay | Filed under Uncategorized
I have a friend at work that plays a rogue/rogue/shadow priest arena team. Every so often, we discuss arena tactics and specific situations. Of those conversations, here is a bulleted list of my advice.
- A spriest role in your setup is CC + Dispel first, damage second, heal third.
- Your Spriest should remain mounted until he absolutely must cast a spell (druid protection and fast f bomb).
- Kill Warriors, Rogues and Hunters first. They will kill your priest. That = bad.
- One rogue should be able to tie up any 1 other class.
- If there are two combatants on your priest, one rogue peel off your target and blind an attacker. Spriest should drop f bomb too.
- Arena PVP is all about favorable odds. 2v1, 3v1, 3v2. Srsly.
- Your spriest has to be ready to mass dispel. Beating Mages + Paladins is dependent on his situational awareness.
- Opening stun + 3 second silent + stun should kill any caster, mages included.
- ! rogue should hang back in case a rogue exists to kill spriest.
We consistently discuss ways to get a 2v1 or 3v1 scenario with this team. Given your arena setup, what tactics do you use? How do you get to 2v1, 3v1?
