Best Recent PvP Vids

Neilyo 4 - If you haven't seen this yet, you are WAY out of the loop. Best rogue TBC vid for sure -- extremely fun to watch and well played. Definitely not full of omg strong opponents, but lots of flashy play. I don't think I've liked a vid this much since Viral 2.

Kzn3 - AP/frost mage on a 2350+ 5s team. Shows how strong poly juggling style can be on a classic matrix team. Really shows how to play AP/Frost well on a high level team, CC and keep away, burst when the opening arises. I really liked this vid; best arena mage in TBC. (I won't speak about a "certain" mage arena vid where he opens character screen to pvp trinket and has his pet break his sheeps twice)

I Suck at Dueling 3 - Another dueling vid from Evertras. Anyone who likes to duel should definitely watch parts 2 and 3 of this series. Do all these strats work on top players? Not really, but these vids are still fun to watch especially for those who like to duel as non-WE.

AKcope 2 - You aren't going to see any amazing play in this, no strong opponents etc.; this is just a big crits for the most part, but for some ret pally big crits are more fun to watch.

Further installments will probably be lengthier, but that's all the time I have for now. ^^

Rumors are cool. I talk to raddy all the time -- no way he'd leaving his current character.

Crucificial said...

Raddy abandoning his character and team? No way, he'd never do that.

Except for when he left FF in GB and in CS left TK, nF, and CRU.

Nice blog attention whore.

not really on the post but... Radikal - what honor items are you picking up first?

klassick said...

Only complaint I have about your vid kzn is that it took me half of the first match to figure out where everything in your UI was. ;)

Enjoyed it though.

kzn said...

ui is unfortunately (or fortunately if you're me) tailored for play, and not spectating.

crucificial said...

Just going to ignore me, rad? Or you scrambling to figure out which of your "friends" leaked this shit?

Even if you're the best fucking player in the game, you're not worth it cuz you always bail on your team.

Azael FH said...

Raddy has been in Forgotten Heroes for something like 3 years now? Maybe more...

Definately swaps guilds and teams ALL THE TIME!

GB = ???

Gunbound???

BTW, Kzn, nice video. I saw it a while back when it was posted in the blog comments.

The direction of my own play being very similar to yours in addition to our teams/builds being similar made the video very relevant to me. I like the music, too, thanks! :D

Are you still going to pick up the Dreadweave over Silk for S2?

Saizo said...

Believe it or not, Saturnine isnt a bad player at all. You can take it from somebody like Handiman, who is one fo the best mages on Mug'thol by far.

He probably just recorded a series of games, against overrated, with no epeen attached. Also, he takes criticism well and now properly bound his trinket.

In any case, good list of videos cept the last one, even though it's popular i personally hate it.

lol theres some hardcore flaming here but anyways

evertras's vid is subpar raddy. you know it. i know ure being nice saying its good and whatnot and might not work vs top opponentsbut still enjoyable yadayda but u know it isnt even average as he claimed it to be. its below average. why show fights vs 7k hp warlocks? also evertras outgears most of his opponents i mean wtf 1336 damage done and his opponent was down to nearly 75% hp? the opponents featured in evertras vid are the very same kind of players shown in vurtne's / alca's vid in AV. 3v1 and the mage is winning.

i mean yea he emphasizes that its average vid blabla "i suck @ duelling" but im surprised how you would say its one of the best recent pvp vids. as a rank 13 myself on a tichondrius i can tell you that these kinda vids which actually intends to be educational only benefits completely new players. on my server, in terms of duelling standard, evertras's standard is below average.

i think evertras wont be able to get a soul link warlock with 12.6k hp down to even 75% after he gets dot kited all the way gg

kzn said...

@atashi

i do plan on going dreadweave, yes.

despite the fact I am currently running (with, in fact, quite a bit of success) 34/27/0 in the same matrix, which would benefit slightly more from crit I guess, I do not believe I will maintain this spec, nor am I willing to farm the honor for both, so I'm going dreadweave.

frankly, crit is and has always been a primarily pve stat, given that only in pve will you cast enough for crit to be consistent.

This was such a nice place, now the comments look like on worldofming... *sigh*

The internet is full of idiots.

Atashi said...

@Kzn

Thanks for the reply. Yeah, with 300-400+ resilience factored in, I'll be lucky to see a 10% crit rate.

I didn't know you were 27 into fire! I'm still 33/0/28 right now, and we run a rogue instead of a hunter. =D

You're right about the # of spells cast in PvP. By the critical, turning point of the match, I'll be lucky to see one crit happen.

That's all without mentioning that my critical strikes only hit for 50% more damage than a regular spell...with spell power and ice shards!

Kzn said...

i have only you to thank for introducing me to burning empires corrz :d

unfortunately, i suppose, kzn4 is going to have a rather different soundtrack :p

Raddy said...

corrz come back to wow nub GOD

Animastryfe said...

I forgot Corrz quit. :(

Hey Raddy,

What song did you use in your arcane missiles clip with the meta-gem proc.

cheers

massive attack - unfinished symphony

If you get bored of your current situation, don't hesitate to look around rad. Lots of people need mages for next season.

Aesthyr, holy shit! I'm a huge fan of your last 2 vids, you think you'll play T6 seriously?

Anonymous said...

Same poster as above. Just wanted to ask why the fast forward crew didn't play arena together?

pantheon said...

Please get on our server and send me a tell rad.

Anonymous said...

What is with the weird awkward bullshit recruiting of a guy who been with his guild for like 3 years?

Anonymous said...

Radikal, I refresh your site at least 3x a day! I need my daily fix of arena articles!

Anonymous said...

Because they see this blog where raddy whines about PvE gear and think that epics greater than friends.

Then again raddy played with his PvE guild instead of his friends on FF, so I guess he's been known to go with purples over friends before.

I'm just fucking with you rad, don't worry. =p

Anonymous said...

100 bucks says rad quits his guild and team to find greener pastures by season's end

Anonymous said...

very doubtful since all of those hardcore pvpers are transferring over to BDF to join FH

RADDY IS OURS, YOU CAN'T HAVE HIM!
