Well I be darned only left for few days to come back to this thread tugging and pulling all over the place, thought I was out of the woods after the going back and forth in 24 question thread. Now where should I start , well first of all thank you for all the amicable posts directed at me its nice change from horde of frowns I get on frequent basis mostly from F2P in pugs.
So the lets see all the chatter reguarding potion usage :
i would just like to point out that scooby never stops popping speed and free action pots
24s who using alot pots like scooby wich doesn't make him good in playing his class
When I started playing the bracket I armed scooby with 61 FAP (Free action pots) and 62 Speed potions. At the time of posting this, after no restocks I have 41 FAP and 37 Speed potions left. So far my total amount of WSG played is 265 you do the maths. I had also commented on this replying to Alphapygmy on previous thread :
I play objectively and when I'm facing 2 x rogue , 24 hunter , and you prowling midfield with no immediate backup its one good avenue I take to ensure I give myself best odds of making it, even though they are slim.
I think people tend to remember when things do not go according to plan when their expectations are broken, eg: where some of you might have thought I was grilled coming at me with 24s decent efc gank squad and I barely made it out alive with FAP , that will stands out to you and fluster you, but please dont take it and paint whole painting black because of it .

Well having a pocket healer cause your 24 is weak.
..Bur saying im a backpedler is the most lol ever
Sorry Ganny but I have seen you back peddle on two or three occasions it think it was more of panic response to being tricky spot , not sure how often you do it though and most time I run against you I see you backed up with 24 healer , may it be by chance or premade don't know , wernt you also in 10 man AB grind video? And hey no big deal as long as you still get the job done.

Oh but there is more to come :
That pretty much stands for those who see players like Scoobydrood (and yes he is a good player-but only that ) as the best or one of the best when he can't even remotley compare to players like Beastclaws who does it all FC,EFC,HEAL,DPS- if i lost you there i will give you an example :
Alphapygmy I only remember facing beastclaw twice and both time he was in a premade or maybe it was random luck and horde were sporting 3-5 24s by chance, now with a solid team a feral druid becomes really effective at carrying out all those roles that you mentioned earlier FC,EFC,HEAL,DPS, but it doesnt quite cut it out when the majority of time I pug in the afternoon and all the 24 horde log and start steam rolling BGs , I come across solid horde groups then I find playing resto as dedicated FC to be much more effective and advantageous to our group than going feral, in that light you can't really compare our gameplay they both made to best suit situation.
Now for more somber post (Leo could you let me who you play on EU as I don't recognize any of the chars in your signature) :
as an example again cause he was mentioned he just runs, shifts and just doing fc things
Well I am a dedicated resto FC and we resto FC's do tend to shift , run and fc ' things ' or to be more precise flags
but he can't really play resto, not healing his team m8s, running around solo
Well the times you might find me skipping on keeping teammates alive it just comes down to calculating my best odds of survival , il give you example last night :
Coming down horde ramp with decent backup , we have horde efc gank squad inc they have heavier firepower, a healer, etc and it is clear to me my team will eventually get stomped regardless of if I extend the clash by short while with heals. I will make a run for it asap while horde still have handful to deal with. Same with if we have few defending roof and there is inc gank , most situations you can make the right call on who comes out on top so I will not linger and start kiting straight away. There are so many factors to try keep in mind midfield when i come across ' player in need of heals ' like , which dangerous horde are on the res timers and what you will have to deal with if ' you linger around ' , which rogues are missing , it really all comes down to anticipating outcomes and opponents movements, as rule thumb always try to get to my half of the BG asap to gain advantage. So when I do skip healing you I probably have a reason for it
bad with his stealth and i probs could mention alot more things.
I lost you at bashing my stealth
, but hey as long as you like my transmog we can still be friends !

Well back to main topic ,think this thread is good idea but maybe should be changed from best players to just good players to avoid flaming and derailments , the thing is at least for EU, there is not much competition within each class due somewhat limited amount of active 24s , I mean when I started out was only 24 druid FC as far as I know who was active EU with just couple ferals thrown in on horde side, not a whole lot to go on . Also burst in the bracket is way off charts , classes quite unbalanced some pulling way ahead of others making it even harder to spot out skilled players.
Yet recently seen many new faces, up and comers suputruper resto FC horde side had my first draw game with him, 100% debuff was fun and Swift alliance resto druid we did some double resto runs vs some horde premades , very exciting. So things looking more promising.
Contributing to this thread I want to start with , alliance side
Geñesis first game I played with her she peaked my intrest by topping charts with KB , flag returns and with only measly two deaths, now we were playing against decent team who also had 24s. Shortly afterwards got to play second game with her , after 2-0 i stalked her a bit to check out her play style , she did nice shadowstep kick midfight , saw her twice successfully kick a spam fake casting shammy , vanish sap to inc FC healbot , and ofc topping the KB meters , flag returns etc one of the noticeable rogues i came across . I'm sure two games is not enough to judge by but maybe someone can confirm my initial impression.
Cya on the field folks !
