I hear that Six.Reminds me about what happene...Aye. I hear that Six.<BR/><BR/>Reminds me about what happened in DM earlier tonight. I tried to steal the Razza from Stonemaiden but Allies showed up and it just got really messy. The Allies eventually left, but by that time, Stone had called in a bunch of his RA guildies for help. It was a Rogue, Holy Pally, a 3-min Mage, Warlock, and his Shadow Priest (all 70's) vs. me, a 70 Rogue, and a 70 Warrior. There was a 60 Shammy with us, but he obviously doesn't count.<BR/><BR/>Needless to say, given the composition and that we were totally out-numbered, we had out asses handed to us. Didn't help we didn't have any heals. :) Funny thing is, we managed to kill a good number of them (some of which were in Merciless, btw -- lol @ that), but the teams were so slanted towards their favor that we knew not to expect much. Composition (and numbers) ftw imho.<BR/><BR/>Funny thing is that Stone totally missed the obvious and instead had his epeen completely and unreasonably fed. He went on about how I can't hang with "pros" (lol @ calling his "hardcore raiding guild " pro, 9.5 months into TBC and no LV kill), completely ignoring the fact that he died many times, with 4/5 Merciless, and had to call in 4 others to finally get the job done. "Pro?" To me, that doesn't seem like anything to be proud of. And personally, I'd be embarrassed.<BR/><BR/>But that's the kind of reasoning that got him kicked out of PK. ;) Obviously, he still has a personal matter regarding the whole situation that he should probably deal with. Dementia is ftl, after all.<BR/><BR/>Sorry, Carlos.Jagoexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13552898785676023601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4903308078735537009.post-48167548876978365972007-09-20T17:20:00.000-07:002007-09-20T17:20:00.000-07:00I agree to a point.skill plays a huge part, more t...I agree to a point.<BR/>skill plays a huge part, more than class composition,(clan hexx for example) and I do agree that in the higher brackets, class composition plays a bigger role, if not an equal role.<BR/><BR/>Lack of skill in teams is why they are playing in the 1400-1500 brackets even with the right composition (or a heavily favored one)<BR/><BR/>There's so much things that factor in. But i believe that it is almost the same as learning a new language...take things in steps.<BR/><BR/>the skill comes down to knowing what to do in a specific situation and executing it.<BR/>The luck part? well, we've all been in that position where our opponent either benefited or been hurt from our mistakes.<BR/><BR/>understanding class roles and using the specials to the teams advantage. <BR/><BR/>team chemistry is also important, if your team lacks the cohesion to properly work together. say for instance, you have a player that just does what he wants, that will eventually hurt the team in the long run. Great chemistry tells me that jago and nikki will shut down the healers when our target is at 40%. chemistry also tells me that we can work on strats sans the egos. but above all else, chemistry tells me that we have the foundation to push through the hard times and reap the good times as ONE TEAM, not as individuals.<BR/><BR/>Then there's you, the player. <BR/>great attributes would be quick thinking, adaptation, TEAMWORK, understanding your class role despite what you've been taught in pug bg's or raids, court vision, anticipation, etc. etc.<BR/><BR/>the worst thing a player can do to themselves in the arena besides being selfish, is panic. it's okay to get fired up. i encourage that, but to stay focused is key. <BR/>panic causes a player to fumble around his keys, stand motionless or just run away...fight or flight. you've all seen that kind of player..the ones you just think to yourself..what the fuck was he thinking???<BR/><BR/>2cents<BR/>6-7-hustleAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4903308078735537009.post-2159593651660395962007-09-19T23:15:00.000-07:002007-09-19T23:15:00.000-07:00I would say that arena (especially 5v5) has less t...I would say that arena (especially 5v5) has less to do with skill and more to do with a strong composition. Granted, skill comes into play, but you could be a very skilled 5 players, but in higher ratings if you have a weak composition, you just won't move up.Arydan/Impervioushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13439285200584296458noreply@blogger.com
