    Also, so that you guys know, the Chosen Disorient Aura, and all other Disorients for that matter, while they add a cast time to your skills, that cast time is not interrupted by movement, only set back by damage or jumping.

    Also, I'm not sure you are ever going to get constant scenarios on lower tiers except for when there are alot of people rolling new characters / new classes / new server. All the PvP gives xp, so you wont have the twink brackets like in WoW, which means that the lower tiers are going to eventually empty out as people try to gear up and rank up their alts in T4.

    I just spent four hours in epic T3 ORvR.

    On Red Eye.

    We even used strategery to confuse Order and get epic amounts of renown and beatdowns.

    I just played a Mourkain's where we kept up in kills despite not having the artifact. I die, Destruction drops it, it resets and I just explode as I watch the Shadow-Warriors in the back sorta stumble around until it dawns on them that maybe they should get it. By now a Chosen is going for it and slows them down.

    We lose by maybe 20 points. Oh, for the ability to team-kill.

    And then maybe one for all the doomsayers out there.... "WHAT?! 300,000 subscribers, its the next AoC..."

    New Mounts
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XaBu396XLK8

    But according to the write up, they're guild only. Guilds of around level 20 get a different color mount and Guilds around level 37 get an armored mount. They're slightly faster than the level 20 mounts and have a lower dismount chance.

    Graboid has advanced to level 5 and the farthest i've gone from the initial greenskin spawn was to the local Trainer. I love RvR experience.

    SH is really fun, as well. Makes my SW look like a bitch.

    BTW, what is the current word on guild ranks and offline players? Our guild of friends is 90% filled with our alts, and it's taken us months to go from 6 to 7. Was the whole "lawl don't worry, alts and people not playing doesn't affect the speed" spiel just bullshit and we should crop the alts?

    if the alts/players are active, they won't effect you... sort of. Think of it this way, if everyone is contributing you're going to fly through the ranks. However, if you have a few people who aren't, then that just brings down your "average" and slow you down. We just purged 37 people out of the candymancers, and even though we still have over 100 characters still in the guild, it picked up a bit because none of those people had even signed on in the past month and a half or so. In summary, having alts in the guild doesn't hurt you unless you're not playing them. "Inactive" is probably relative as well. Having not logged on in a week is probably different than not being online since the game went live, though what kind of convoluted math would enable this I wouldn't care to fathom at this ungodly hour (damn work).

    So you were the shaman I was picking on with my nekkid White Lion in Gates. Couldn't get any backup from my team to take you two shamans down so I was just pestering you until someone came up. Which, of course, I don't think they ever came.

    Guess I really will just have to give up on Order. I just have no idea what to play on Destro, other than maybe a marauder or sorcerer.

    OP add-ons section seems to be missing squared, auto-dismount and item rack, all of which i'd class as pretty vital...

    finally made t4 on my zealot, which i've had since beta. it's also my highest level character :s

    i have 14 characters between destro and order servers all middling between 4 -26. come the new characters i'll be starting a slayer. i have a lvl 4 shaman sat waiting to heal all the choppaz which get rolled as i'm fully expecting a repeat of heavy metals all-BG scenario party situation. order were cleverly having at least a WP and a RP backing up all their knobs and rolled us every time...

    Wow, that's some kind of epic asshattery on Iron Rock, that's almost enough to make one roll destro.

    In all seriousness though, if that interview was even semi-truthful, I'd hate to be Order on the same server as those guys.

    Sev: Your gameplay is the most heavily yomi based around. Usually you look for characters that allow you to force guessing situations for big dmg. Even if the guess is mathematically nowhere near in your favor lol. You're happiest when you have either a 50/50, 33/33/33 or even a 75/25 situation to go crazy with. And you will take big risks to force those situations to come up.

    Sure seems like it, but most scenarios I've seen (T1), Destro has maybe one lone healer (DoK usually), compared to Order's three RPs and however many WPs.

    I must be on some Bizarro World version of Dark Crag, since most of the scenario groups I found myself in last night were, without much exaggeration, half-Zealot, half-everything that's not a tank lineups. Squishtastic!

    My groups last night on DC from 12-2pm pst lacked any focus healer for the first hour, and during the next hour even all DoKs were gone, except one guy named Aorderpatrol who didn't seem to like healing.

    But earlier in the night I was disgusted by some players.

    I was on my SH and plinking off the top of Erkund. I get focus fired by a BW and an Engi so I step back with like half health. Two zealots proceed to watch me die. I don't want to say these people are bad players, no. I think there was something more nefarious at work.

    Do you gits think i would have died if I wasn't a gobbo?! Not bloodly likely. STOP WARHAMMER IN-FACTION RACISM. It's just the color of your skin. And the shape of your body. And perhaps even how you reproduce.

    Actually, I have no problem if they want to spec that route, but at least put some effort into healing yourself! I spent 3 Phoenix gates healing 3-4 lvl 17-20 DoKs who weren't smart enough to keep themselves alive. Rend Soul is the best spell ever. use it!

    I was in a scen a few days back with a 21 DoK who was yelling at everyone about how they were playing wrong and basically blaming everyone else for letting order win the scen

    we started giving him shit for not healing when we only had two other healers and he bitched that he couldn't heal unless he was in melee so someone told him to equip a fucking chalice

    HE DIDN'T KNOW WHAT A CHALICE IS

    and the thing is, I could even forgive that as funny as it is, if the guy didn't think he was the best destro player in the scen
    it was amazing

    basically DoKs are the new hunters (but I've said that before in this thread)

    What’s sad is DoK’s/WP’s are the best group healers in the game post 20. With a decent chalice you can literally hit your group heal continuously. DoK’s are weaker/dependent on soft targets to do decent single target healing for someone getting focused though.

    So you're Graboid. I actually remember you for your "What's a gobbo do to grab some heals comment". Since you asked for heals in a way that I found quite funny (and you did shoot that Runepriest) I did try to heal you. To answer your question the reason I let you die before was because as a lower level Zealot I can't really heal everyone so I was concentrating on the higher levels with dps being top priority. From what I remember the higher level melee was taking a pounding trying to take/hold the middle flag so I pretty much healed only them. Now this may be the wrong strategy (or maybe I'm a bad player), but this is what I do in every scenario where I don't know anyone.
