Hi twinkers.

Davetango

Heya guys. It's been a while since I've been here. For those who don't know me I'm Davetango - Former Gleader of < Static > In my 'time' I did a lot of 19 twinking from vanilla up until mid-cataclysm. Toward the end of Cataclysm I dedicated to my main Hunter and Mists of Pandaria I lost interest in twinking and focused on my main. I decided to main Mistweaver monk and reached 2600 and got Hero of the Alliance (3rd hero) on my Monk. I have recently grown distaste for end game PvP and was considering coming back to twinking pending a few things which I wanted to ask here...


1: Are 19 twinks popular / balanced right now (Being fun is implied here)

2: Are Mistweaver Monks good at 19?

3: What's a BiS build for 19 Mistweaver Monk?

4: Would anyone want a Mistweaver Monk for competitive twinking? (Me)


Thanks your time all,

Hope to see you all on the Gulch soon...

1. 19s are very active at the moment, I for one am enjoying them
2. Yes, they are not only good, but very fun to play as well
3. I would look at my mist weaver in my signature. Bis is always debatable, but I feel that I have a decent setup at the moment. Other notable mist weavers are Rajtantajtan @ Bleeding Hollow - Community - World of Warcraft, Blurz @ Bleeding Hollow - Community - World of Warcraft , and probably several others.
4. Mistweavers will always be used in the competitive scene. A few teams chose to utilize the mist weaver this twinkcup, but it was overshadowed by the power of double resto shaman. I had several teams ask me to heal in the TC for them this year, and I am sure that mist weavers will be used in the future :D

Also welcome back <3

Hello. Thank you for the useful and quick reply. I appreciate the warm welcome-back.

(I don't -think- I know you? Though I'm sure that will change with time)

[Hopefully a few old farts around here that I know / knew / knew were active when I was] Can make a post to kinda 'verify' that stuff for me. Just wanna make sure my data is accurate before I commit to the twinking process.

Though again I do appreciate the info and I will carefully check out the guide.


Quick edit: Just kidding forgot we were in LSFTW together (my priest)

Had a quick question. What is the most dominant faction at the moment? I want to play competitive but I also want queues

mostly depends on who is queuing the 5 man but usually horde. twinks are so cheap and easy these days id just roll two

Everyone went horde for the twinkcup, because horde had superior racials. I still que ally when I do, and I expect the bracket to balance out after the cup.
 
Alright I guess Horde / undead it is lol. Unless any of you guys are like 'no your ******* dumb'

Is there any BiS gear on ally I would need to grab before I went horde or could I just start horde?

(Still want to find a team before I actually make a 19 MW tho)
 
Wait, weren't you apart of static on azgalor? Your name seems very familiar. I had a lock there named dastan, though I didn't play him too much.

Mw monks don't really need to be factioned for bis. But I probably wouldn't go undead just because their racial isn't as good for 19s as troll/Orc/belf/Tauren/panda are

also if you have your ducks in a row mw monks can be leveled and geared in as little as 2 hours /played on the toon. Another reason I'm going to suggest making one on each faction.

Ah yea, thats awesome dude! Was good ol times. Some great people in Static. It's a pity to not see many of them on anymore, cept for like grizzle.
 
No one will really take you until they've seen you in action unless you've already got some major pvp cred.

You can apply for a free twink here: http://www.twinkinfo.com/forums/f12/project-gg-nineteen-66288/



I've already got 3 Hero of the Alliance's and been 2600 on my monk and was a Veteran from 19 twinks since the beginning of time (I only got out of the loop intentionally around the end of cata when it got really boring) so I got enough 'street credit' for sure. I got that in ******* spades and plenty of proof for any of the 'new blood' out there (like Jesus Christ Marie) [Who I've never heard of until today]


I'm sure there's -plenty- of people in the community that would vouch for my skill / twinking prowess in the 'days of old' though I don't want to play a class I am not comfortable with - Hence why I would want to play a MW Monk (My main for the expansion)

lol what you had a huge *** ego and played a hunter, static was an absolute bottom feeder guild and i don't think you guys ever won a game, lol. I do remeber you telling everyone you were a "vet" in cata too even though nobody knew you, nice to see you still have that same great attitude though.

Haters gonna hate. Haters make ya famous. Glad ya still hate me :p

I don't have a huge ego. Just a huge resume. And pretty **** proud of it. So it's more of pride then an inflated ego. Because I'm not the best. I wasn't the best. I'm still not the best. **** I'm not even doing 19's yet. As for Static our last season for premades was 9-4 I believe. I would have to dig pretty deep to remember the names we -won- against but I know we lost to Pizza Hut and the guild I can't remember from Alterac Mountains.. Was another good one.. Again this was a while ago but I am sure I can dig up some screen shots. I can however say that we -were- good when we played and we had a lot of fun to boot. I'll make a post later about my 'resume' for any fresh blood that may wanna pick me up.
 
maybe talk to people you used to play with. I know a few of them just from those old screen shots

That sounds great. Thanks bud. This is the kinda useful stuff I need in this thread but the haters are amusing in small doses.
 
No one will really take you unless you've already got some major pvp cred.

Here's basically my 'portfolio' as for putting myself 'out there' for any 'new blood' who would want a solid MW Monk for their premade....


1: < http://i.imgur.com/GCN62Ol.jpg > First picture of my monk and arena achieves... 2600+ ARENA exp... Hero RBG exp...

2:< http://i.imgur.com/YLVAzRg.jpg > Second picture of my monk and RBG achieves... Hero exp...

5: < http://i.imgur.com/W228YHI.jpg > One of my last games of the season... Unfortunately ran out of time for glad but we got pretty far...

6: < http://i.imgur.com/SdnRYtd.jpg > Consistently farming a multi-R1 team that has played together for 7 seasons in games over 2 minutes (non gimmicky / one shotty games) [Games with skill involved]...

9: < http://i.imgur.com/s8ZAOhh.jpg > beating the R1 5s team (This season) [They were R1 last season as well but they're R1 currently on 5s ladder]...

10: < http://i.imgur.com/L1l4aBT.jpg > Pushing hero last season... That team in particular was not special but it was the highest screenshot I could find since I guess I didn't SS any other RBGs that night for whatever reason [We were 16-0 with a final rating of 2202]....


---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The rest of these screen shots are my other twinks and my other characters that I got Gladiator and Hero of the Alliance on though if you only care about my monk EXP... That's basically it.... Though feel free to keep looking if your interested in my other Gladiator / 2800 + EXP classes...


1: < http://i.imgur.com/KJDS9cZ.jpg > First picture for my hunter showing some arena achieves 2600+ ARENA exp... Hero RBG exp...

2: < http://i.imgur.com/wZOxmV9.jpg > Second picture for my hunter... Haven't been able to find too many screen shots for games since I've played / consistently gotten 2600+ on my hunter every season since S8... So here's some statistics of 2s, 3s, 5s...

3: < http://i.imgur.com/fcfbhyW.jpg > Third picture for my hunter... Finally found a decent picture of beating Multi-R1's & Blizzcon contenders... Oldschool climb to Glad in Tyrannical...

4: < http://i.imgur.com/6okEItS.jpg > First picture for my Shaman showing some arena achieves 2600+ // Gladiator ARENA exp... 2660 multi-Hero RBG exp [I main enhance] {No Tmorph here :) }...

5: < http://i.imgur.com/QwIqm1s.jpg > Second picture for my shaman showing some arena achieves.... Speaks for itself...

6: < http://i.imgur.com/IsQnA3m.jpg > Third picture for my shaman.... Showing some RBG achieves... Speaks for itself...

7: < http://i.imgur.com/V6hSTdW.jpg > Fourth picture for my shaman... Some of my feats of strength...

8: < http://i.imgur.com/VVACwrp.jpg > First picture for my rogue... Multi-gladiator (2x)... 2800+ arena... No RBGs... First -combat- rogue in S9 to hit 2700+ (I was doing it before it was 'cool' and it was hella fun :p)

9: < http://i.imgur.com/Mor8hn6.jpg > Second picture for my rogue... No Tmorph obviously...


---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Next half will just have all of my twinks.... Nothing too special... Just showing I used to twink... A lot. (To be dully noted I haven't logged on some of these twinks in literally -years- so the UI may look a bit ******. Sorry.)

1: < http://i.imgur.com/DkMq3LG.jpg > VERY old ret pally... I believe my first twink (lvl 19...)

2: < http://i.imgur.com/40PFVzx.jpg > My hunter (lvl 19...)

3: < http://i.imgur.com/hAafJsK.jpg > My old freeze mage... HB helped me make this back in the day (lvl 19...)

4: < http://i.imgur.com/iXQu0eI.jpg > My old disc priest (lvl 19...)

5: < http://i.imgur.com/A8fjPPH.jpg > my -VERY- old rogue... I twink'ed this / premade'ed with Orochimaru back in the day... Can tell how old this guy is from the helmet mog glitch... I'm sure there's some GF'ed gear in there somewhere too... (No it's not tmorph'ed either...) (lvl 24...)

6: < http://i.imgur.com/UoM840V.jpg > my -VERY- old priest... Probably my 2nd oldest twink just before my hunter and rogue... I had Death Speaker Mantle on at some point... Still in my bags.. But it showed as red 1 day and I took it off and couldn't put it back on... This priest is as old as the hills... If you legit armory him and check out the mace... The enchant name will -break- your WoW armory (Fixes after refresh of page) [You'll see with the name of the enchant] (lvl 29)

7: < http://i.imgur.com/FlWTYkW.jpg > My old rogue... Tier 3... BiS... Legendary... [No BC -gear-] (lvl 60)

8: < http://i.imgur.com/k70CBvb.jpg > My old mage... BiS... GF shoulder & helm enchants... Was R1 70 3s in S 10 on Thrall - US [Triple DPS with Gothicholy, and Reckfull] {Arcane Mage, Prot Warrior, Rogue} Obv not the -real- Reckful... Still in touch with Gothicholy... Haven't seen the rogue in a LONG time....


---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Decided to make a quick edit since I kinda just realized not everyone is a PvP hero that twinks... Soo here's some PvE stuff... (Don't worry I'll only do my monk so it'll be short...)

1: < http://i.imgur.com/W1aoegE.jpg > AOTC Heroic - Both raids this expansion (Not doing hellfire because it blows dong IMO)

2: < http://i.imgur.com/P6zfa36.jpg > Realm best time challenge modes... WoD edition...

3: < http://i.imgur.com/5O9z294.jpg > Realm best time challenge modes... MoP edition...

4: < http://i.imgur.com/Po8IatS.jpg > Realm first raiding... Heroic Heart of Fear and Heroic Mogu'shan Vaults... MoP edition...

All of this was done with me -healing- no DPS or tanking... Even the challenge modes (My monks armory would verify that) I pretty much hate windwalker and brewmaster....

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

To be -dully- noted this isn't a stunt for me trying to flex my Epeen since anyone who knows me already knows pretty much all of this about me.... This is just for any of the crazy good 'new talent' out there who may be scouting for a solid monk and highly exp'ed twinker... Can pay for my own transfers & faction changes... Gold... And enchants without any problem... (This also being a tiny bit for augi for kinda the 'nut up or shut up' kinda factor :p)

Hope you enjoyed this (Honestly) short 'slide show' of the past few years of my WoW life) [Trust me I could've made this like 5X longer but I mostly just wanted to cover the essentials...]

Thanks again for your time... Look forward to hearing back from any people looking for a new addition to their premade roster, or even simply old friends stopping by for a hello!
