I'm writing a 2500 word sociology paper on online communities in World of Warcraft.

that's an easy paper, don't forget to mention the "elitist ladder"

all casual players are complete noobs, espically posters in the WoW general forum. Your status climbs as your enter better guilds, and all the snobby "I am greater than thou" WoW geeks from the biggest guilds congregate on Elitistjerks.com (I was one of those)

haha did you play EQ?

EQ was the definition of Elitist guilds

i remeber back when i played a guild called Kreiger eventually got so big and powerfull and controlled so much of the economy that the GM's kinda forced them to break up

EQ was the shit though i still miss it, going to Gbay and selling your things all through the trade channel and having people look through your bags lol

That is why EQ will always be better than WoW for those who want to excel in games and be better than others. Hahaha.

yes, rogues have always been able to use maces

ever since the beginning of wow

and yes, stun is very annoying

well i guess i might as well post some pics.

my ui is kinda messy.. @_@

zul'jin down!

fuck man. arenas. i gotta get to 1850 rating. why the fuck does my team suck?

my 3v3 is MS warrior (me), resto druid, feral druid, moonkin druid.

obviously only 3 of us play at a time. the resto druid and i are a mix of s1/2/3. mostly s1 though. the feral druid has.... decent entry pvp gear, and the moonkin is full s2 with a bit of s3.

now. before 2.3, we were hovering slightly below 1500 because me and the other druids had shitty gear. now that we're more geared up. we're only at 1500. like wtf. what? do i have to be like a full S2 or full s3 geared team to get up there!? maybe we need a mage, or a warlock, or ... huntard on our team. fuck. i dont know. frustrating. i want my s3 weapon, tired of using despair.

Your make up is not good. If its warrior/resto druid, throw in a paladin. Stay away from having two of the same classes on your team. Getting a warlock would be a very good choice also if you.
-Pally Warrior R.Druid
-Lock, Druid, Warrior

you have a moonkin druid. Don't get a hunter, they're useless in arena because of their deadzone. Get a warlock and paladin.

OMG you're using a despair, that weapon's not even good enough for retadin alts anymore

holy pally + ms warrior = one of the best 2v2 teams
if 3v3, im currently doing a holy pally *me* + ms warrior + rogue/ sometimes mage, we're doing pretty good
im mostly in kara epics with 2 t4
rogue is in s2/s3 gear
warrior in s2/s3 gear as well

They shortened the deadzone to about 2ft in total. It's not as hard to get out of it now, just run in, wing clip then run out to ranged weap distance again. You just need a smart hunter =) Not a huntard hehe

Here's my 70 BE paladin...

Anyone else here play Stormscale?

i can get a pally and warlock. BUT ..they're totally undergeared.

as for despair, thats the best i can do for now. far from getting gorehowl. i can save up for an s1 weapon but its not that great man. id rather save up for s2. or s3, but im never going to get 1850 rating.

I have a 62 Human Pally on Stormscale, names Psipharia.

paladins dont need much gear if they're healing. resil isnt AS important for a plate wearing class, especially at low levels.

im not sure how it works on other servers but on mine after you hit about 1700ish on 3v3 the teams become a helluva lot harder to the point i have never broken 1800 (note: i respec for arena to holy, i'm normally prot... i spec ret for fun and OT kara as ret since gear > talents for there)

Blacksmithing is the only way!

omg i spent all night mining mithril and iron just to become an armor smith, and i'm still about 100 or so mithril off..... soooo tedius.

^
lol

that boy is a pussy, just like hunters :D

lol, awesome

resil is everything in arenas, regardless of class..even in s1 kara gear was obsolete in arenas..everytime we saw people in kara gear it was a guaranteed win. without resil, crits will get the best of you..our team usually drops pallys without arena gear before they can even bubble

resto druids are the only viable druids in arenas. you might see some higher teams with boomkins, but they have to be really skilled and geared and even then, they arent that effective. warlocks and rogues work really well with druids, but i think a warlock would work better with your team. you can also try another healer..i ran two healers and a war last season for fun and we we around 2000-2150, but it would only work if the warrior is completely geared since hell be your only source of dps.

edit: you also have to keep in mind that this season is still new. even at the 1500 level, you will most likely go up against 2200 teams quite a bit. one of my teams is still hanging around the 1600s cuz we havent had time to play. youll just have to wait till teams start to fit back into where they belong.
