WoW: The GAF Exiles

Yeah, some of us arent on those stupid GAF endorsed servers. Cause we're just too cool for school. Honestly. Tre`, Cast, and I are kicking ass on a server without other boring GAF members.

Our grouping began simply enough:

<me at auction house> POTIONS FOR SALE

<castellan> potions sux, lets group.

<Tre`> AM I COOL?!?!

<me at auction house> POTIONS FOR SALE


...that went on for about an hour, tre's needy. Haw haw. Outside I approached a level 50 orc bemoaning my need to give some dirty old lady 50 silver for her to teach me how to get better at pulling grass. He didnt take at first, but then the other two showed up. Somehow the three of us convinced him we were incapable of taking care of ourselves and were awarded 15 silver each. sure thats not a lot for some of you high levelers, but that goes a long damned way.

High off of our success at creative begging we struck out from orgigimamamar towards the Venture Co. mining spot, which is fun cause theyre green and since they arent our color we need to take care of them haha kidding I like different colors.

Now this is what I wanna get outta the way first. Tre` is the best thief ive grouped with. He knows how to stealth, understands the purpose of backstab, and uses all of his skills per situation. IM SO TIRED OF FUCKED UP RUSH IN ROGUES. FU you ruin the trade.

Castellan's shielding abilities proved invaluable. Its nice being able to tank 3 guys while I murder them. haw haw. Plus the ability to rez sure takes an edge off DYING. The mind blast/fear thing is neat too.

Anyway we worked our way into the mine, I cried over my horrible rolls for green equipment, and we massacred quite a bit. But then we made the mistake of doubling back in an area with high respawn. AHH! bumrushed by 5 mobs from all directions we put up a damned fight, but in the end we fell to the evil mining corporation. Curses.

After repairing up we headed back to ORgaigmamamar and I bought a new sword. Sure, doesnt sound all that fun but screw you I hate GAF WoW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1111111111
 
Respawn death was the story of my day. Got hoisted in the Ivar Patch this morning, with the coup de grace in the Venture Co Mines.

Still, getting 15 silver from that lvl 57 for having a slapfight and screaming about opium dens ("opium" is apparently censored, btw) was funny, and Venture Company got its ass kicked back to fruity Alliance country. 0wn3d.

Good grouping, though; you and Tre issued some serious stealth beatdown on the meaner mobs. I need to macro up psychic scream for when we get respawn mobbed.
 
Yeah, they have the highest chance of silly names and the least chance of typing "lol" into the trade channel over and over.
 
It was really, really awesome. If I had fraps open, I definitely would've taken pics/recorded some video. That 15s that high level orc gave us helped pay for my repairs after being resurrected. And Resurrection sickness sucks balls. 75% penalties on abilities and armor? WTF, was not getting the penalty on equipment not enough?

My first group, sans one where me and a guy just did some early level power leveling, just basic stuff. 2 Rogues rock, the use of rogues in WoW has cemented its combat as some of the most fun I've encountered in a MMORPG. Me and MAF would both go stealth, he'd try to start it off with a gouge/ambush + Backstab, I'd position myself behind to backstab shortly after his backstab. It was really effective. Doug rocking the support with Power Word: Shield and healing (and that horror spell, hilarious), half the reason I stayed alive so long, considering all the mobs were 2-4 levels above me.

That final battle with the respawns was awesome. Just when I thought we were alright, we accidentally draw like 4 more from the other side and they finish us off.
 
Yeah, it was pretty badass. Id open with ambush, then gouge him to stun, then run behind him and backstab, then youd backstab him, then we'd just unleash sinister strike n such. Haha.
 
Tonight's grouping's definitely made me think twice about how I'm gonna distribute talent points. I was originally going to go with a heavy focus in Assassination and Combat, now I think I might go with Assassination and Subtlety.
 
I'm not sure the exact terms and what not because I'm a Warlock of Asskicking +2 but one of the guys here in our office plays a rogue and the SAP that he uses is invaluable. Definitely worth dumping talent into.

Basically he'll stealth, run around and stun mobs that are too close together to pull, we'll take out the other guy and by time they're dead the other guy will unstun.

You can make some really smooth forward movement by doing that.

On the other hand there's a 10% chance he'll fuck up and we'll get mobbed by like 5 people and then its sheep and freeze galore while the warlock goes and finds something to loot :P
 
SAP is ok but it doesnt do any damage, but its stun is longer. Chances are if im gonna get somethings attention with a knock to the head I want it to hurt, but he probably plays rogue differently than I.

Ive used it a few times before, its great at keeping one mob out of a fight for a decent period of time while I concentrate on another, but once its over its over cause stealth is required. And one hit will pull them out of a stun.
 
Gouge stuns in-fight giving me enough time to run behind and backstabe for 100+ dmg. Plus there's a few classes that can learn ways to resist stun, so I dont want to base too much of my game around it.
 
I'm on this RP server (don't ask). I loved the Night Elves in WC3 and all but god damn I hate me some teens trying to role play elves.
 
Improved Sap isn't worth 3 points. 3 points just to resteatlh after a sap? I can do that with vanish, and refresh it with preparation if needed. As it stands now... In pvp I sap a player, taunt him for 10 seconds, and then restealth to open with a cheap shot. If I'm feeling cranky that day I'll chain sap him 4 times before the diminishing returns kick in and I can't pull off another. If I'm facing two players I can sap one, vanish, engage the other player, preparation, vanish, and then engage the sap'd player. In pve we usually have our priest do the pulling with mind control, and then the warrior aoe taunts everything off. Mage polys and so on. But yeah, sap is nice for pvp anyway. At 57 I don't really have much use for it in instances. Mages and Warlocks, and Priest (undead shackle) are much better in the crowd control department.
 
my friends got the game before i did and went on some damn server.

so when I got the game, I played on thier server instead of the one that Gaf picked...(even tho it seems there are only 4 people on the official gaf server?)

I was going to join Grifter's server and roll with him but that would just be 2 much for me to manage/handle.

so yes, i am an exile as well

oh and

You picked a good guild, too; everyone seems like the sort of snarky non-teens I appreciate.

my paly or any priest > undead. =P
 
I dunno, we had Castellan pull and he ends up getting way more than he bargins for. Mostly I think cause he's the lowest level and at the time doing the most damage. I can taunt most away with some backstab blows, but id rather selectively pull myself since I have a lot more control over what and how many I pull.

I echo your stance on SAP, its useful, but improving it...id rather stick the talent points into something else. However ive noted the rogue can be played many many ways.

i typically shy away from grouping with night elves. in my experience, they've always been total morons. gnome rogues know how to roll!
 
In my experience, unless youre high level dont fall for the 'IM A LONE ALLIANCE MEMBER IN STRANGE LANDS' cause that always means there's also two or three night elves that are invisible nearby.

I wanted to make a gnome rogue just cause its the funniest thing in the world seeing a level 50 something gnome rogue in a raid owning lots of people.

i remember in stress, some level 40+ gnome rogue was owning everyone and it was just funny watching because of how gnome's look.

yea rogues are great. although i think 1 rogue and 1 mage would own alot more thann 2 rogues being that the damage output would be very high.

something i think that ownz is a group of palys tho...all with different aura's enabled and all casting different blessings.

with 2 palys on holy and 2 on retribution.....that group is really really strong.

peace
 
palys are really really strong haha. Best chance id have against one is getting the initial ambush and then interrupting his spells with well timed kicks and just soaking on damage afterwards.

But they hit hard too :(

Tho there is 50% evade for 15 seconds, that would help a tiny bit ;(

Paladins take no skill.

Almost kill Paladin > Immune shield > Heal to full > Repeat a billion more times.

eh? paly's take more skill than that....i would go into it but im at school right now.

Having to juggle seal + judgement combos, and auras have nothing to do with this. Paladins have more lives than a cat. Takes no skill at all to survive a fight.
 
Paladins are hell on melee classes, the have insane armor and, like someone said, tons of lives. My GF plays one and she took down a warrior 7 levels above her, was pretty wild.

Shamans are just as bad though. What they do to caster classes is just sick, and they can tow paladins and melees around all day with frost shock spam and cheap-cost earthbind totems.

Doug, let me know if you need some priestly pointers. Mine's pretty high level now and I've never seen a class blossom like the priest does at higher levels.

it does when ur getting stunned/slowed/KICKed/and nuked to death.

do you even play a paladin or are you assuming this from getting owned by certain palys?

Nah, Undead Rogue. I've had an insane amount of pvp experience with them, considering about 85% of all alliance seem to play paladins (wonder why).. Friend also had a 60 Paladin in cb/ob.

i was just referring to the things different classes will do....

seriously it does take a bit of skill to use paly. alot of it is mana managing (Healing takes alot of mana......a paly with no mana is a dead paly kinda like casters, except casters have SO MUCH MORE mana.) plus the aura juggle/seal + judgement combos.

if you havent played paly then i dont see how can accurately claim it takes no skill to use.

i can claim any class is "cheap and takes no skill" if all i did was pvp them and see the little tricks they do.

truth is, I wouldnt truly know.

peace

We're talking about totally different things here. I said Paladins take no skill to survive a fight. With shields, heals, and LoH... Paladins have at least 3 extra lives. This doesn't even factor in other skills/spells. It may take some sort of skill for a Paladin to win a fight, but a retard could survive 99.9% of 1v1 pvp encounters as a Paladin. Paladins don't exactly hit like little girls either.

It doesn't even matter. All that shit is for if the pally wants to win. Sure, I bet that's hard. But the fucks can take an ass whipping for two minutes and just run off into the sunset, not only immune to chills but erasing whatever they had on not a second before. Sorry, that's lame.

well...winning a fight is apart of surviving is it not?

and paladins do hit like little girls unless they have a certain seal enabled. Thier DPS is crap. Rogues always seem to be the ones who hate on palys from what I noticed....which is funny to me....probably cause rogues get beasted alot by palys. well maybe it will make u feel better to know that palys get owned by casters/hunters who know how to play.

i play both rogue and paly and I dont see how one takes more skill than another to "survive" or "win" honestly, but hey, what do i know, i dont only play rogue.

Bagh yesterday I finally finished the Tower Of Anthlaxx quests with a pick up group. Not to bad except when we got up there someone had already tagged the boss. Thankfully he has a very short respawn. After we all got the head jumped down the tower one guy said he didn't get it. so the group leader and myself stayed around to help the guy, fought our way back up the tower only to find out the guy didn't get the head cause he didn't have the quest

...

...

...

So back out of the tower where a Minion REALLY wanted to kill me he chased me from inside the tower to a few yards from the shore, then somehow by wandering I ended up in darkshore!?

I'm bored...nothing to do at work

roleplaying is pretty scary, especially when they get upset.

it's even scarier when they try to hit on you...

I made afemale NE warriro and was doing a nakid run to the dwarfs starting point cause I'm tired of the NEs starting quests. So on the boat to Menthal Harbor a guy NE starts saying how I have a nice butt, and where are my pants on the floor of his room?

heh I thought hewas joking so I just laughed. then he reallye wanted me to anwser if my pants were on the floor of his bedroom....so I jumped off the boat. Oddly I'm on a PvP server not an RP server...kinda skeevy
 
The best thing to do when u have 2 rogues is stack garrotes and ruptures plus having poisons proc if you truly want a silent kill. :D This is very useful against instance mobs or when you have a tank already and don't want to attract aggro. Don't underestimate DoT's, i'm suprised so many rogues just ignore it.

Please, 90% of all pally's are played by morons. They all seem to be around 14 years old too. Not a single pally I respect at all. I can own them anyway and I play a Warlock. A pally without mana = dead pally.
