Text of the page (random words):
ide seat of watching about a half dozen glowing green lines on that tank when he started in on the wb i d have laughed if i wasn t so intent on getting into position because it looked like the old chain heal spell run amok but what i really had in mind was this order of the stick comic we dpsed down the world boss without losing a single toon in fact i don t think that either myself or the tank dropped below 75 health for the entire fight hell it s entirely possible that i could have tanked the wb with that much healing available not that i d want to have tried mind you but it does illustrate the value of having excess healing to go around to piggyback on that wb adventure i can make the conjecture that in a battleground a healer is far more important than a tank while having tanks and or melee dps is nice to have bgs are won or lost by the number of healers a side has my completely unscientific observation has been borne out by months upon months of grinding through warsong gulch and arathi basin where you can make a reasonable assertion which side will win purely based on which side has more healers a good healer can turn a squishy mage into a tank no healer can turn a warrior into a sitting duck and while a ret prot pally has a very limited number of heals before they run out of mana the feral druid and shadow priest can hang around dropping far more heals even though they are technically a dps spec i ve recently been in an arathi basin battleground where a shadow priest a mage and a feral druid kept six players busy at the stables sure they eventually lost but the corresponding loss in time to taking them out meant 1 5 of one side kept 1 3 of another side from impacting the game spreading 9 people across four nodes meant that nodes were shorthanded and the other side could and did take over at least one other node a good healer just like the demonology warlock with their wild imps can swing the battle by being a force multiplier sure you ve got others with pets such as the hunter and frost mage but a healer is a force multiplier without needing a pet at all by keeping teammates upright the healer has an oversized impact on the game and if that healer can drop aoes like the druid can well you get the point a healer is a prized commodity in the bg world old days pre patch 4 3 not to make you feel ancient or anything imagine a knucklerot on steroids in every region of wow and you get the idea well that and being a smudge on the floor when the boss smacks you good eta corrected a logic issue in the last paragraph posted by redbeard at 12 54 pm 2 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels battlegrounds swtor world bosses wow monday december 10 2012 the curse of redbeard strikes again you d think that i d have learned by now i start a toon and that toon s class and or spec gets nerfed it happened with ret although it took cata dropping for it to finally get there it happened with frost again cata s release was the kicker it happened with locks too and now it s happened with rogues you don t notice that rogues got nerfed a bit in mists until you get higher up in level around the 30s that s when a lot of other toons start to get new abilities or their existing abilities take a big leap in utility like say those damn wild imps back in my day when i leveled adelwulf we didn t have no stinking wild imps we warlocks took our lumps from every other class and we liked it and we walked to school barefoot too uphill both ways it s more than a bit disconcerting that in the l30s bgs you can suddenly find yourself fighting 4 5 on 1 due to those wild imps couple that with some improved ai on the succubus and the lock is no longer the butt end of the bg spectrum like it was in cata in fact if you put two demonology locks together and add one healer you can pin an entire bunch of people down at the entrance in arathi basin a rogue s ability is designed for maximum damage close in sacrificing armor for speed if the rogue fails to kill the enemy quickly then they re a sitting duck in the l30s in mists what ends up happening is that those other classes take a big leap forward in survivability whereas the rogue s corresponding damage output levels off this results in the rogue being unable to pick on even the stragglers in a bg if they re of comparable level to the rogue and you can forget about a healer a rogue simply doesn t have enough stuns to take out a healer of comparable level in the l30s from where i stand watching bgs in the mid 30s the feral druid still rules the roost the disco priest has fallen back a bit and has been replaced by the mistweaver monk and demonology warlock warriors have gotten their mojo back a bit and two warriors together can handle a group of 4 5 dps what i ve found surprising is that frost mages have made a comeback of sorts back in cata you had fire and arcane making inroads into bgs based upon their higher damage output but it seems that in mists that frost has reasserted itself as the mage pvp spec once more as a retired frost mage player it s nice to see the spec doing well as a current rogue player however they re harder to take down than before paladins seem to have made a bit of a recovery from their easy pickings of the l20s but they still trail warriors in survivability ret still has the aftereffect from cata s overhaul the lack of decent emergency healing seems to hamper ret more than anything else being a retired ret player i ve noticed that the major paladin failing in l30s mists has nothing to do with the class but with the player type pallies are more prone to charging in alone than any other class save perhaps the warrior but without the warrior s survivability i call it the sir lancelot syndrome which is an offshoot of how pallies can simply plow through mobs in most other circumstances it feeds a belief in invincibility and encourages the follow me chaaaarge sort of behavior i was guilty of sls as much as anyone else i m sure the gleaming armor and servant of the light didn t help but i knew that even the holy spec wasn t as squishy as most classes so it only made sense to wade into the thick of the fight additionally in a game like ab where one player can gum up the works and divert 4 5 people away from trying to take another base it s only natural that a class that can take a beating would be the one to storm the beachhead in my hubris i also figured that if i led by example others would follow naturally a few years of playing bgs has beaten that idea out of me but i still backslide from time to time warsong gulch is one of those bgs where your opinion of it is entirely shaped upon how well your side does in it you can top the meters day after day but if your side doesn t win you start to get bitter i recognized that in myself in the most recent losing streak i ve been in as it was an echo of my time leveling adelwulf there was this long period from l20 through l40 where my lock could count on one paw the number of victories in wsg my rogue found the bg much better winning about half of the time will do that to a person but this current losing streak can wear on a psyche when you port in and you see half of the other side is a healer of some sort you know you re in trouble the backbiting starts before even the first flag is captured and the cries of we always suck fill the air players drop like flies and people who replace them look around declare what a fail group and drop themselves it s enough to make a body back up go out into a zone and work on a gathering skill for a while or maybe visit the darkmoon faire but wsg is still lurking there like lucy and her football hoping to get the charlie brown of bg players back in for another go surely it can t be that bad you say to yourself yes it can the pessimistic side of you retorts and don t call me shirley but maybe it s different this time you said that the last time and the time before that and you know when you talk to yourself that s when you realize you re a bit off your rocker so you re coming around to my way of thinking good job maybe i ought to give wsg another try this streak has got to end sometime after all even manchester city won the premier league last year sls makes a catchy acronym you know and your xp moves forward at a snail s pace posted by redbeard at 10 10 am 4 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels battlegrounds classes wow wednesday december 5 2012 you don t think he s overcompensating for something do you you know illidan s favorite line yeah that was me when i hooked up the new desktop late last week i was so not prepared i work on a 14 inch laptop 81 in 2 our old desktop had a 19 inch 160 in 2 monitor the school laptop is 15 6 inches 120 in 2 the new desktop by comparison has a 23 inch hd monitor 230 in 2 i felt like it was the first day at a previous job back in the 90s going from working on a 14 inch terminal to a 21 inch sgi workstation the only difference was that this new machine required a bunch of patches right off the bat new os you know but once that and the security software were in place i was off to downloading some mmos the first one was wow because i could play in a limited basis while the client itself was downloading i d played so long on extremely low graphics settings that i was unprepared for how the game would look with current equipment with a bit better than average graphics card for one thing the 1080 resolution on a properly sized monitor is positively huge there was all this freaking space around where i was used to having to shoehorn in my mods i d grown so accustomed to having to mentally keep track of where enemies were located just off my viewing area that actually seeing them on screen was unnerving and i ll be honest i thought i was playing an upgraded version of wow because i could actually see the detail in both the background and the toons if i thought that wow was good lotro and age of conan were better aoc seemed to have a bit of an issue with getting the toons at distance filled in but it was still light years better than what i d seen before aion on the other hand seemed to be similar enough in graphics quality but just moved better then i tried out tor the details that i d missed playing the game at extremely low graphics settings were stunning there i was in tatooine of all places staring at the sand on the screen the cutscenes didn t look all that different but the actual worlds amazing i said in guild chat when i was exploring the wetlands on my rogue everything is so huge yeah said a guildie running on a smaller screen really takes out a lot of the details and this is with a machine that you d kind of classify as only a borderline gaming machine too not one of the high powered 2k machines borderline gaming yeah no 400 graphics card or solid state drive about the only splurge i did was to get the i7 cpu and 12 gb ram now i d be lying if i said that the fancy new machine suddenly improved my gaming because it didn t actually my gaming got worse because i was so used to being able to move around the smaller screen so quickly with a short flick of the wrist that having everything spread out so much made it more of a chore to use i also spent a lot more time looking down at where things were rather than where the enemy was when i was out and about and i have to confess that i spent way too much time just looking around rather than paying attention to the mobs around me you know the ones that might actually kill me i can easily see why some game houses spend so much money on artwork in their attempt to take advantage of modern computer graphics but i can now also see how that can be a money pit while i can stare at the visuals now after a while it ll become old hat once that happens all the visuals in the world won t save a game without a deep and engrossing story good gameplay and replayability but in the meantime i m going to grok some sand and swampland for a while okay perusing some clips on youtube came first and setting up my family s accounts and setting up my wife s e mail and setting up the network drive so i could listen to music edit family videos and and the pets with the higher resolution graphics the shivarra was a bit more pg 13 than i was comfortable with having my kids around but then again i d already covered that a while back aion still feels too nintendo for my taste when i read the quest text the language style isn t what i would use and it just feels more like a translation from another culture it seems strange saying that especially since aoc was developed by funcom but whereas the aoc npcs talk like they came out of a robert e howard short story aion s is decidedly different my sister in law once said that professional golf broadcasts on television were tailor made for hdtv now having seen the details in games with hd graphics i can understand her argument a bit better and yes for the record we don t have a hd television in our house our old 25 inch rca is still chugging along and there s been no need to replace it yet posted by
