He probably doesn't realize that but his vid doesn't show good parts of wow pvp (if there are any), he basically just comes into range and casts 5-6s spells. Then he gots Fear'd and ganked. AWESUM!!1

Btw: where are/why aren't there GW vids with commentary ?

If you get killed, just rush again.

Now THAT is PvP ain't it?
WoW PvP in disorganized battlegrounds are hillariously biassed towards DoTs and healers. Healers are designed to puke out enough health to outheal raid bosses that put out several times the damage output of a single player. Of course, it's like saying RA without a monk is worse than RA with one, but this is really much, much worse.

DoTs because they last forever, potions are on massive cooldowns, nobody has any self-heals except the afforementioned healers, and the only classes that can dispel them are the healers as well (which UA takes care of anyway by punching you in the face for LOL-thousand points of damage). Three of them are instant cast (which warlock players love to pretend isn't the case as if they didn't put the talent points there), the rest are short-cast, all of them recharge in 1.5 seconds, which I guess someone on the design team thought was a good idea because dispels do too. In other news, I heard spam is good for the game.

Basically, imagine what RA would be like if Barbed Arrows and Poison Arrow both inflicted their respective conditions for 50 seconds, and the only class with any sort of health restoration or condition removal was Monk. And you couldn't take a secondary. That's battlegrounds against a Warlock.

EDIT -- Actually I neglected the fact that Rogues can dispel everything on them at once and get a temporary extremely high resist bonus to everything for a short duration. Naturally this means they rape warlocks, but it's also a nice example of how WoW's PvP in general works: A bunch of hard-countering shit to cover up for extreme gaps in skill interaction that mostly stems from the fact that WoW was never really designed with PvP balance in mind.


Arena PvP = lol mortal strike train.

You're right. Judging by his in-depth knowledge of GWs this is most likely what he meant...

I'm sorry, I can't stop being sarcastic about this guy. It's like a tick.

Can't forget a Warlock's healthstone. 2, 2.5, or 3k heal depending on your talent points at 70. Oh, and drain life. >_<;

You can't blame him for liking WoW more than GW. In WoW he gets to spend much more time running around, and much less time actually failing.

Someone should redirect him to the Campfire forums so he can get thrashed.

Note that I said Campfire and not Gladiator's.

If anything guild wars only beats wow on pvp. thats what most people say, i love guild wars, i played wow for 3 hours got bored of running round finding pumpkins for some guy. But wows pve at level 70 has a lot more content that guild wars, and its a heck load bigger.

But it does look like walt disney designed the entire game or atleast somebody that doesnt know how to make buildings upright in a game.

And i lol'd at him getting owned by fear

So he's a PvEr pretending to PvP? Seriously, world PvP in WoW is a joke (it's sanctioned griefing, not PvP) and all the real PvP occurs in arenas on their tournament server.

Rofl... writing these down as I'm watching the video:
  • He fails at mic
  • Ganking is srs bizness
  • He clicks skills (and probably keyboard-turns). I mean, ffs, he clicked blink... I can understand clicking fireballs, but blink is a skill where speed is hugely important and he has it on a secondary bar and clicks it! (WoW Blink pretty much serves the same function as Return in GW)
  • He's lvl 34... that's like making a video of shiverpeaks arena. And he's fighting people about 10-5 levels lower.
  • "...if you just run up on an ally, they tend to shit their pants and run away" - COULD THE 10-LEVEL DIFFERENCE BE THE REASON???
  • "If I was an ice mage, I could've froze her" Baed player is baed and doesn't keep rank 1 frostbolt for snaring on his bar. (You can still do that as fire spec) Baed player is also not familiar with the subjunctive mood.
  • Baed player also gets stomped by a lock of equal level while getting a jump on him and taking off 1/3 of his health with pyro because he didn't counterspell fear. Massive lulz.
  • "This f***ing level 70 paladin in tier2..." - Ok, nubcake. "Tier2" is lvl 60 raid loot, not 70.
  • I just skipped to the GW part after he got owned by the same warlock again. Did he actually kill anyone?

GW section doesn't deserve a comment.

God, this guy is dumb.
