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.

It's a lot faster to fly to Chillwind and maybe die one time in WPL than to do this method.

Specifically for Maraudon as I said. Health regen from a sacced VW makes princess very smooth. I've already farmed the gold for my epic mount and then some on Elysium and my only deaths have been a result of severe lag. DS is still good for other types of farming too but SM may be a bit better, tough to say. I'll be going back to SM now though since I prefer it for PvP and 5mans.

It's minimal. SM/Ruin has slightly lower dps when it comes to spamming shadowbolts but is better at PvP and dungeons. Each has its own perks for farming (I prefer DS for Mara farm).

If you're doing runs with another 60 to get them the ring you should be able to kill any 3 packs of lizards that aggro, especially if you aim them in a safe direction before AOE fearing. 4 packs may be doable too depending on gear but the most commonly pulled packs are all 3 that I can think of. The last pack before you start down the ramp to princess is 4 but if you hug the right wall around them it's usually easy to avoid pulling, if you hug left and the last lizard is 47/48 that is risky.

It works fine, you drop group and have 60 seconds to tag with the lowbie and kill with the higher level(s) and reinviting so you don't get ported out. It's allowed as long as every character is played by a different person, multiboxing of any kind is against the rules here except for in cities for port/enchant/etc

I've run ST twice on Elysium and the Hakkar event worked fine both times.

Whichever one you like playing more. Raid DPS difference is minimal and either are good for MC/Ony.

ZG is not out on Ely/ZK and won't be for a long time. It is out on the other two realms, and they each have 16 debuff slots.

You do not remember correctly. There were only 8 debuff slots until the ZG patch.

http://db.vanillagaming.org/ is the most commonly used one, although it is not perfect. Gravestone Scepter from a quest in Blackfathom Deeps is probably the next wand upgrade for you if you're in your 20s.
