Balancing free WoW with free WAR

If you come across a dwarf slayer on Badlands named Mohawkmadness, that would be me.

OMG! You're Mohawkmadness?!?! I've played with you and against you several times, for years now! LOL. If you might remember any of my characters, it might be Alustrielle, Papaboner, and Nuttbusta on Order; or Darksight, Darkmana, or Darkhottie on Destruction.

On Order-side on Badlands I was in a couple twink guilds, but its been a while and I just cant seem to remember the names of them. I think one was Reikenguard or something like that, and Elitists(?).

How can you be tired of wsg lol?
I don't even play AB and have no interest to play any other bg's really.
 
Been playing wow for 5 years. WSG is not the problem, i love it.

No pvp balance in wow + lvl 24 in the bracket is the problem. Half of the classes/specs are useless + too much burst = horrible fights.

Didn't queued for any wow bg since i started this WAR trial, omg RvR alldays, pvp without waiting is so amazing. Leveling is fast & items are easy to get. Plus this is new to me, i'm in heaven.

Will def try to play on the US servers (if it's not too slow) to see you guys.
 
I'm sort of getting bored of WAR now, after leveling and gearing (i'm nearly BIS now) i'm finding the large scale PVP to be quite similar to Guild Wars 1... which seems to be a massive tug-of-war fest.

so yeah im gonna come back to WoW now, giving WAR a break

Told you! gearing is part of the fun, if you get PL you won't enjoy the process of finding the mats, learning how crafting works.

The leveling/gearing process if pretty quick. This is a perfect opportunity to easily play several classes, and that's what i love in mmo, discover classes mechanics (makes you also better in pvp, because you know what to expect from your opponents, their weakness, etc.
 
If you decide on a cloth class, I would suggest making armor talismans. The armor talismans are a flat increase for all classes, and can triple the amount of armor a cloth wearer can have.

to reduce physical damage? i'm playing shaman atm and i had a mix of +spell +heal talismans.
 
haha just read that with armor talisman, you can stack up to 70% reduction of physical damage :D FOR A CLOTH CLASS, OMGAD

is there a cd on potion? i saw a dwarf drinking those non-stop, or maybe was it just an animation glitch?

The CD on potions is only for that specific potion. Like you can pop a crafted pot (level 15, cuz you'll be bolstered), then you can actually pop a PvP pot (from pvp vendor) immediately after if you need. I highly suggest crafting the HoT pot with the maximum duration seed that you can make.

Yeah, DoKs and WPs with fully stacked +74 armor talis, are pretty damn OP. At least they were when I last played.

how much slots for talismans do you have on your toon(s)?

if i'm not wrong from what i calculated a +74 armor talisman is 6.7% damage reduction now ingame (i currently have 5 slots, so 33.7% + 11.5 i already have ; a total of 45.2% reduction for me).

Yea I used to play the WAR trial, it got boring after a while, but I kinda wanna play it again, tell me if you wanna play sometime. Oh and for the armor talisman, you should also have a good amount of toughness, toughness is the other mitigation stat. My Blackguard, Apatheticz has about 300 wounds 300 tough and 100% armor mitigation. The over 70% armor mitigation is for moves like the engineer turret armor reduction move to stay over 70% or the full armor mitigation.

would you stack armor for shaman too?
Click to expand...

On a Shaman, it's viable to stack armor talismans, especially if you do alot of scenarios and find yourself getting focused on alot. However, I prefer hiding in bushes, and using the terrain (a big part of WAR), and just stacking Willpower on my healing gear, and Intelligence on my DPS gear.

is there a kind of armory to see character's profile? i'm checking shamans to see their items but i don't really have any idea what are the available bis (i took the 2 items set).

I have +intel for the moment and in RvR it's great because you can see people from far away, but some scenarios it can really be tricky once you're slowed and with a melee on yourself.

Unfortunately, there is no Armory for WAR, and alot of people like to disable inspection on their character (especially twinks). As a new endless trial player, your BiS options would probably be (iirc)...

- The chest+boots set from the RvR vendor
- The lvl 9(?) blue staff and blue ring from the T1 rewards NPC
- "Average" gloves and belt with your prefered stat (Will or Int), which you can solo farm at the Southern-most PQ area.
- 3x +wounds rings (not unique) or if you find any "Average" rings with Int or Will, u can use those if you don't mind losing HP.
- Unfortunately, as a brand new Trial player, you wont be able to get head piece with a talis slot; however you can get a Mask (during the Halloween event).
- Unfortunately, as a brand new Trial player, you wont be able to get a cloak, except for a Brewfest Backpack (during ... uh, the Oktoberfest event I think).
- No shoulder piece available for new trial players.
 
Thanks! with the medaillon, you will only be able to buy pots so? what are ordnance & skull of the fallen for?

What would you take for your "talent tree"? not sure about the english word "fame skill"?

I tried the US server a bit (i have a lvl4 dwarf priest), it's pretty empty compared to the EU one (guess depends of the time too).
 
About the +armor talismans: i crafted a +75 armor (blue one, lvl50), and it's restricted to lvl12, did they nerf this?

This is wierd because i already crafted an epic +intel and +willpower (purple, lvl50) and i was able to use them.
