Dkati gets some maces...

Sure,they may not be pointy and sharp, but I bet I'll have fun crushing warlock heads in!

 

Dkati Points to the Obvious...

With the Eye of the Storm weekend coming up, I ran across a nice post on the strategy that should be utilized.

The article is of decent length, but can be summarized into the following [what should be] obvious points:

1. Control at least 2 towers. If you're only holding one, stop doing everything else and get another tower.
2. Try to get 3 towers. If you can, get the fourth for the steamroll.
3. If you can't get three, stop banging your head against the opposing team's defense, and start controlling the middle for the flag runs.

I'd like to add that an important part of controlling 3 towers is to attack the fourth to preoccupy the horde from regrouping and sneaking out to get your other towers. Of course, you hopefully have a token defense on your other towers, at a minimum.

Likewise, and important part of controlling the middle is to apply some pressure to the horde's one or two towers. This keeps them from zerging the flag --- or one of your two towers.

If both teams follow this strategy, it comes down to who outplays the other team, or in some instances, who significantly out-gears the other team.

As an example of pure catastrophe for the alliance, if you're in a 2-tower-capped-control-the-flag mode, but the horde has a nice team of five, with supporting healers, and a wild mace-wielding-warrior-of-season-3-doom, and you don't have an equal defense.. they're gonna continually strip you of a tower, knocking you to one.

This has the effect of either (A) causing you to lose because you don't recap the tower, or (B) cause you to lose because you stopped controlling the middle to send 10 people to take on their 50-man-tower-capping-team.

So, you can take a third point of of this:

If you can get a coordinated, well-balanced, 5-man team into EotS, you'll probably win it for your team.

I've seen the horde execute this nicely.

Dkati goes HD with Stage6...

Having given up on YouTube because of it's horrible quality, I found Stage6 to be more receptive to large, high resolution files.

The amount of time it takes to buffer is rough, but the quality you gain is enormous.

Anyway, feel free to laugh very hard, because I had my inventory open the entire match! Honestly, I didn't even notice... I was too busy paying attention to the match... honestly!

Makes me feel awfully naked and exposed, since you now know exactly what's in my bags! Eeeep!

Dkati and the Illegal Danish

Seriously, I can't believe I'd never seen this. Yeah, yeah, they came out with #2 in this series, but this one is hilarious. The scene with where Rossi, the druid, and the paladin are on the start of their quest... holy crap. This is funny.

These guys should charge cash or have a contest to have a person's character make a cameo in a film.

Dkati and Another Poor Quality Video...

I tell ya, I really have begun to hate YouTube.  Originally, I thought that my video compression selections were the cause of the poor look on YouTube.  However, YouTube samples things down quite a bit.

For example, this video looked awesome locally.  At full screen, it was nearly as good as watching the screen while it was happening live.  As you can see, it doesn't come anywhere close to that.

With that said, I think I've found a DivX based hosting site that we'll try in the future (I've already deleted the source AVI to this file).

Until then, enjoy this little fight where the druid played a horrible game, and allowed us to take down the fairly well geared warlock.  If they had both combined on my priest to begin with, it also would have gone differently.  But, I'll gladly take the points.
