How can a team have 1661 in team rating, while both team members who have 100% of all games played have 1646 rating?

No other people have played in this team since the start of the season, other than Rinny and me.

YET WE WERE DENIED OUR RINGS TONIGHT, BECAUSE PERSONAL RATINGS ARE %$#&ING %!^$ED UP.

Now that we’ve fallen back to sub-1600 again, battling many a full S3 druids, I bid you all goodnight.

At least we got a really sweet 25 point win off of a warrior/druid team. We love overarrogant teams. We really do.

I hate Perception. See, rogue/priest mirrors are usually a “If you get the opener, you win” deal. I play with a blood elf rogue. See the catch?

Rinny getting sapped means we lose. We just… lose. I get stunlocked while spamdispelled, then it’s over. And Rinny gets sapped rather a lot.

Or Hardiness. Oh Hardiness, how we love thee. Especially when the same warrior resists three full CP Kidneys and a dumb racial steals 18 points from a team that is just flat out better.

It’s awesome when your partner knows how important it is to lose the sodding pet, then you lose anyway because he decided the warlock is a better target. And to add insult to injury, you get emotespammed by a 12 year old retard.

It’s also awesome when you get a warrior to 30%, then he gets healed up because your partner decided Shadowstep was too much to use.

It’s even more awesome when you 1v2 4839843 matches because your partner DCd.

But the most awesome is to hear this against a mirror from your partner:

“Blinded, just trinketed that Fear, sorry!”

DISPEL IS AN APPARENTLY NEW CONCEPT.

Conversation with a friend who is a nice dude but is rather stupid:

“Who are you arena’ing with anyway?”
“Rinny.”
“Who is Rinny?”
“/who Rinny?”

ARMORY. IT IS AN AWESOME TOOL. UTILIZE IT.

Dearest of all our friends (Guess the game reference and win my heart), ex-Gladiator Kiyu, says that we need to win more. Thanks Kiyu. We love your wise advice.

…so it’s time for Random PvP Tips!

1. Reflective Shield. If you play 2v2 and are not specced into it, you are utterly missing out. Great freedom in battlegrounds as well – solo those pesky warriors!

1a. A good 2v2 strategy against warrior/healer teams vs rogue/priest: We go 2x 1v1s, with Rinny on the healer and me tanking the warrior. If the healer dies before me, awesome. If he doesn’t, a Blind/Fear chain when the warrior is on 50% (thanks Devouring Plague, SWP, and Reflective Shield) is usually all it takes for me and Rinny to stage a Shadowstep gib on the warrior.

2. You can safely spec out of Silent Resolve without missing it. I really don’t notice the difference when there is an enhancement shaman purging the everloving %$!& out of you while smacking you with 1k Windfury crits, which is when you really need that dispel protection.

3. 2v2 – play aggressive against healer teams, it really pays off. Smack that dispel button. Fear whenever you find an opening. Contribute with SWP, Mind Blast/SWD combos whenever your DPSer’s target gets low. It is the difference between getting that pesky druid down and seeing him heal up to full again. Focusing just on health bars is the biggest mistake you can make, bar none.

Plus, most teams really don’t expect that PI/Smitespam from 30% onwards.

4. Make sure everything you do has a point to it. Otherwise it’s just a waste of mana. For example: Have you mana burned a target to zero? Well that’s not really useful unless you can make sure they won’t go powerdrink. Have you just feared a target? Better make damn sure it was for a kill, to save someone’s ass, for an interrupt, or for a Mana Burn opening. If you can’t justify what you just did, don’t do it.

5. Prevent rogues from reopening constantly, SWP rank 1 is your friend.

6. If there is a chance you will get Blinded, save your trinket for Blind. Your trinket is your precioussssss.

6a. However, in the rogue/rogue zerg or ferlol/rogue zerg situations, it might be wise to trinket the initial 5 point Kidney so you can gtfo out of Dodge, else they can and will kill you before their stuns wear off, their entire strategy depends on this.

7. Powerdrink like your life depends on it. It usually does. Disc priests are notoriously mana inefficient, especially when you have to heal through MS effects and Mana Burn and Dispel at the same time.

8. Learn how to SWD sheeps. I haven’t. That’s why we lose against mage/rogue.

9. Holy Nova is great for getting rid of Snake Traps.

10. Downrank Holy Nova to rank 3 for Snake Traps. Downrank Psychic Scream to Rank 3 if all you ever do is 2v2 like me.

11. Against warriors, heal early, heal often. You never know when mace stun/Deep Thunder stun/Improved Hamstring/whetever else will proc at the same time, not to forget Pummel.

12. I read all the guides that say “Survive the Bloodlust” against warrior/shaman and feel like facepalming. You don’t need to survive no stinking Bloodlust – you do have a dispel button, right?

Blizzard hates me for the past two seasons.

Season 2, we played RMP before RMP was cool.

Andersson got a Rival title out of it, I got fk all with 100% of all games played.

This season, Severian and Moonky get titles with ratings lower than mine. All of my characters? Still fk all.

I don’t care so much on Ely because Stone Guard is a rarer title now and I like how it sounds. But Starlet and Roch… still title-less. Ugh.
