The way you remember it is indeed correct. I don't have a PvP video handy that shows it though.

Online players on Elysium is 53/47 right now...

Chain banishing mobs that your own faction is attempting to kill has been considered griefing, and chain sheeping certain mobs has also been considered griefing.

Alli locks are fine, and they aren't all that rare in Ely PvP at least. I had several WSGs this weekend where I was one of 4 locks on the team. Whether you should DOT everyone in sight or not is very dependent on the situation so there's no easy answer. I will say that once you run across priests who just mash their cleanse nonstop, spamming them with r1 corruption can be a very good thing. In most cases burst and focus-firing is a lot better than doing slow predictable damage to multiple targets. I usually only CoW hunter pets, and only some of the time. Other people may use it more or less though.

I had about a 50/50 winrate on Ely Alliance during WSG weekend. Biggest factor was how many healers each team had; 0 healers on one team or the other was fairly common and almost always lead to that team losing. I did have to resort to running flags myself quite a bit which is not ideal as a SM/Ruin lock with <3k health, but having swiftness pots and some FAPs was enough more often than not.

MC off a boat can actually cause bugs on these servers and render the character unplayable until a GM teleports them, that's why it's bannable. I agree that repeatedly sheeping mobs to grief your own faction should not be allowed either.

Hell, people on Nost got banned for farming too much thorium in Silithus even though they were not cheating or hacking in any way. I'm not saying that should have happened, but it shows how randomly some decisions are made regarding what is or is not allowed. And the fact that an arbitrary line was drawn at sheeping escort mobs further illustrates it.

Chain sheeping mobs to grief your own faction was actionable on blizz servers. It's been that way on some private servers too, it tends to rely on whichever particular GM happens to respond to your ticket. Also this degree of monopolization wasn't around on the vanilla server I played on, plus the populations were much lower. So claiming "vanilla" is not that relevant when it comes to this.

I get around 30g/hr just doing goblin and princess, do you have any suggestions for better alternatives? Rotgrip is the least valuable boss of the three by a good margin.

Yeah there's no way a ddos attack deleted a character. Did you delete it yourself and now regret it or what?

Countering a spell mid-cast blocks everything from that school, it is not the same thing as talent trees. If I get CSed while casting shadowbolt (a destruction spell), I get locked out of all spells that are shadow whether they are destruction or affliction. This is working as intended.

The poll I just mentioned, it's here on the forums.

Eng+whatever really. Eng+BS if you want to be super tryhard I guess.

That's not how the server works. They even polled people recently and the majority of players don't want progressive mechanics, just content.

Uh the fight was broken and now it isn't. Close the door and you won't get elite adds.
