Ohhgee

This is my first question as well. There is at least one player running around Elysium server with the ability to add levels, gear, items, etc. Just because he is cautious (smart) and not churning out r14 chars on a brand new server doesn't mean he is not still at large. The evidence presented in the previous threads about this (especially the hacker's ownedcore post) suggests that the person or people behind this are #1 still playing/still exploiting and #2 these hackers are also effecting Elysium

blizzard will never make legacy servers not now, not maybe, not ever fuck nostalrius

Allowing potions/eng this time around is definitely a good idea. If more time is given between duels (2 mins for coil but not 5 mins for Iceblock/Blind/Reflector/PvP trink?) then I'm in. EDIT: unfortunately cant attend because of my work schedule. rip

It's more the fact that Paladin is a fairly straightforward class and is easy to be decent/average at in PvP. Shaman on the other hand is not at all streamlined. Being effective in a prem v prem situation requires having a fair amount of gear, playing a hybrid spec, being exceptional at totem management, and constantly switching between Healing, Purging, and bursting. Its easy to be a "good" Paladin but it's more difficult to be a "good" Shaman. And by "good" all i mean is playing your class in a way that you are consistently impacting the outcome of the BG. Anyone with half a brain can Freedom a Hamstringed flag carrier or BoP a clothie with a Rogue on them. But placing multiple totems (including WF in range of Warriors) without overextending, purging kill targets without putting yourself in a position to get killed, and knowing when to burst v.s. when to heal is a lot more to manage, and requires a fair amount of skill and experience with the class. A bad Paladin can still impact the outcome of a BG with one good LoH/Freedom/BoP etc. But a bad Shaman will have almost no impact or effect on the BG. A Horde team with a sick Shaman can beat any Alliance team. The problem is that finding an effective Shaman is harder than finding an effective Paladin.

Remember that Paladins don't have the ability to offensive dispel. Alliance teams are more vulnerable to getting clowned by Free Action Potions and similar consumables because only a Priest or a Felhunter can dispel them. Horde has the strength of 2 classes that can spam offensive dispel (Priest/Shaman) and Alliance has the strength of 2 classes that can spam defensive dispel (Priest/Paladin). Play to the strengths of your faction. If you're a Horde team trying to compete with a tough Alliance premade, find a Shaman that is good at totem management and knows when to purge and when to burst. Have your Warriors play aggressively and always FAP in important team fights, and the Alliance team will be forced to run 2 Priests, most likely leaving you with only 1 Paladin to deal with (WSG). Basically, if you manage to CC the Ally team's Priest(s) and your melee FAPs and has Windfury, you are going to demolish any target no matter how many Paladins bubble and spam heal him. And as long as the Priest(s) stay sheeped, those FAPs will stay up (nothing a Paladin can do about it). IMO as Horde play with 2 Priests/1 Shaman whenever possible and be sure they are fast to dispel Freedom, BoP, etc. A Warlock spamming CoT on Paladins also helps. Even if it's getting constantly decursed, the amount of pressure it generates in a teamfight is game changing, especially if enemy Mages are having to use globals decursung. TLDR - CC Priests and spam FAPs

no

RECALL OR WE LOSE

truly spoke like someone who has never had sex

yee just go ahead and release the fresh server as Marie Antoinette once said, "let them eat cake."

what is this term "freshies" seems like a euphamism for mouthbreathers that started playing WoW in Cata and never heard of private servers until Nost shutdown kronos 2 was full of "freshies" and it turned out to have the most pathetic level of competition i've ever witnessed on a private server. so if that's any indication of what the fresh start Elysium serv will be like, then i would advise people to not waste their time

normally i would say you're just mad. but then i saw that your pic is mecher and company, and i gotta say your title is spot on

if your question is which classes are the least gear dependent, it would prob look something like this (Tier 1 being classes than can excel with minimal gear) - Tier 1: Mage, Rogue, Paladin (Holy) Tier 2: Hunter, Warlock, Druid (FC spec) Tier 3: Priest, Shaman (Eleresto) Tier 4: Warrior If your question is which classes have PvE items that are useful in PvP, then the answer is really all of them. Because there is no PvP-specific stat like resilience, basically any piece with good itemization and some Stamina on it can be considered PvP gear, even if it comes from PvE. Two specific examples of raid gear that is amazing for PvP are Rogue and Hunter T1. Rogue T1 has a 5-piece set bonus that is gamebreaking in PvP, and Hunter T1 is a much better for PvP than the r10 set.
