What Makes a Raid Interesting?

Rogptor | July 21, 2010

I read a comment that says the Ruby Sanctum is too easy.

So what makes a raid interesting and what would make it more interesting for the largest group possible?

You have the pro raiders, with the top gear, and the highly practiced skills who will have one view and then you have the casual raiders who probably have a very different point of view.

Is an instance interesting just because it’s hard? Or there’s an interesting set of loot?

So how to improve it, for the largest group of players?

Should raids require completing A, B, and C before entering D? Should one be able to skip A, B, and C if the group just want’s to do D?

What makes the fight(s) interesting, in your view?

What makes a raid worth doing several times? Such that you might say, “cool,” rather than, “Oh D***, not THAT old thing again…”

Comments? Or should I make up (steal from elsewhere) a few comments and post those? ;)

Recruit a Friend Guide Review

Rogptor | July 19, 2010

Blizzard’s Recruit a Friend system is a cool way to bring new people into the game and get them leveled quickly. It’s not hard to figure out, but people still have plenty of questions.

There’s a new guide out that will walk you through all the details to getting the RaF running properly and which will also show you how to do it without a friend.

Here’s our review: Secret Recruit a Friend Leveling Guide

World of Warcraft Patch 3.3.5

Rikto | June 29, 2010

Check out the Patch Notes for more info.

The most interesting parts imo are of course, one: “The Ruby Sanctum” and another interesting thing is the Dungeon Finder Vote Kick system change.

The functionality of the Vote Kick feature in the Dungeon Finder will now behave differently according to a player’s history with the system. Players using the Dungeon Finder who rarely vote to kick players from a group, or rarely abandon groups before a dungeon is complete, will find that the Vote Kick option will have no cooldown. For players who frequently abandon groups or vote to kick other players, the Vote Kick option will be kept on a cooldown. This functionality will adjust itself as a player’s behavior while using the Dungeon Finder changes.

You should probably read the rest of the patch notes also. It’s not like you have anything else to do while the servers are down :-p

Top 3 Tips for Rogue PVP

Rogptor | September 3, 2009

There’s a brand new WoW site coming up that has some good PvP stuff with more coming, WorldOfWarcraftChamber.com. The Author of the site has kindly agreed to write the following article.

1 -  Know how to re-stealth
If you can’t re-stealth in combat, you are drastically reducing your survivability. The main techniques for acheiving this are to
  1. blind and wait to leave combat
  2. gouge/kidney shot your oppenent and run out
  3. get your oppenent crippled and sprint away
  4. vanish
2 – Don’t blow all your energy
If you sit on a person and spam mutilate, you won’t have enough energy for legitamite burst.
- for example, get 5 combo points, wait for full energy, then KS (Kidney Shot) and you will be able to, assuming you are Assassination, mutiliate twice then eviserate.
It’s more efficient burst than if you were to KS with 25 energy and maybe get 1 mutilate and some auto attacks in.
3 – Know the different playstyles and adapt
You don’t try and beat a warrior the same way you beat a priest do you? There are unique ways of handling each class. Generally though, the two main styles a rogue can play are burst and control.
  • Burst: When you do a lot of damage in a short period of time. This usually involves getting back into stealth again multiple times to get max damage possible.
  • Control: When you use all CC (Crowd Control) methods available to control an opponent and take them out of the game, so to speak. This means you have to always leave enough energy to gouge and be ready to kick the right school magic. Also blinding into a sap can be a game breaker when speaking in terms of arena.
  • Defensive: A rogue who needs to be”defensive” would simply try and avoid as much damage as possible. This would include moves like evasion, vanish,blind, dismantle, gouge, and trying to re-stealth.
For more PvP info check out Phil’s site and read the full pvp guides for rogues and all the other classes.
