Song 1: Soul Purifier by Transmutator
- Draup - Dwarf 2H warrior (31/30/0)
Dwarf warriors are extremely difficult to fight due to stoneform. Honestly, I fail more than I succeed against a good, well-geared tw0-hand dwarf warrior. In order for me to win, it seems that they have to make some kind of crucial error or mistake. In this case, Draup should have been able to shout me out of the first stealth and then he blew stoneform way too early allowing me to blind later and basically control the whole fight. He ended up dying to my DoT while I was mace-stunned.
Draup is obviously from a strong PvE guild. Most of his gear was PvE epics. His health was around 9200, but the reason I decided to put him in here were his offensive stats, which were the best I ran across while filming this movie (self-buffed with battleshout):
Ugh. Chance to increase crit strike rating by 800? I'm glad he didn't get to hit me much. ;)
- Dwarf BM hunter and NE fury warrior
I kill the hunter, but then die to the warrior. This is an example of me not having enough health to close out a 1v2.
- Winkz - Gnome 2H warrior (33/28/0)
This warrior had around 9800 HPs with 127 resilience using Thunder and 3/5 Glad. This is my standard attack proceedure on a 2H non-dwarf warrior. Blood fury, premed, garrote, evasion, shiv, rupture, slice and dice, hemo to build CPs for kidneyshot as evasion is fading. I'm cheating here with berserker buff, but it's kind of funny to stand toe to toe with a warrior like this and win easily.
- Diablito - Human 2H warrior (31/30/0) plus 3 adds
This warrior had around 10400 HPs with 142 resilience using Lionheart Champion and 3/5 Glad. Same garrote/rupture opening, but I get a lot of outside inteference. I can't quite finish him off and he's left with about 2% health.
:(1945 5v5 arena rating.
Song 2: Destroyer by Transmutator
- Lats - NE feral druid (0/46/15)
Druid with 1/5 Glad and 2/5 Malorne. Not the best feral druid out there, but the best I could find for this movie. :/
- Krance - NE rogue
This is just in here for fun. Notice the behind the back hemo on pullaway?
:P
- Roebit - Gnome affliction warlock (45/5/11)
10400 HPs with 1/5 Glad. Only 54 resilience. Plays on a 1978 3v3 Arena team. This is an example of a 100-0 stunlock extended with CoS. The warlock dies before CoS drops. You can't do this to a soul link warlock, but it's not uncommon to 100-0 other warlocks builds this way. Perhaps this is why they are getting a trinket that breaks stuns. :)
- Necrillian - Human 2H Warrior (35/23/3)
This warrior carries the Lionheart Blade and has 2/5 Glad. He has 9600 HPs with 165 resilience. Again I have berserkers buff here, but just look at the way he melts away. Those are 325 point rupture tics. When I pulled back and did the deadly throw I thought it was over, he literally had no health left showing in his bar. Unfortunately, I had run out of crippling poison in this match (you can tell by the first shiv I do while he is on his horse - it doesn't snare him) and that comes back and bites me in the ass.
I've never in my 2+ years of playing have had a 2H warrior who substantially outgears me run away. I was truly in WTF-mode. He drops a healing potion and spams commanding shout while running away calling for help over his premade team's vent. And they end up running right up my ass and zerging me. Hey, but that is teamwork. I guess that's how he ended up on a 1990+ 3v3 team.
- Dorain - Tauren Restoration Shaman (5/5/51)
Dorain is a fellow Medivhian. He has around 9700 HPs and 154 resilience. He carries 3/5 Glad and has around 1100 bonus healing. I've seen Dorain fight before and noticed that he likes to start faking heals (start a heal, then quickly sidestep) if you are getting interrupts in on him. It just seems pointless to try to stop him from healing. My goal was to run him out of mana, which I did... but I just didn't have the HPs to hang in there after that. The only way I can win this fight is to increase my HP pool and/or pull off more bandages. I could have sprint out of range and bandaged but to me that is a bit cheesy, but perhaps it's necessary for this kind of fight.
This is actually the first fight I've had against a good shaman in about two years. I've been horde for two years and I don't duel much, therefore ipso facto, e pluribum unum, etc etc... I really need more practice to relearn this fight.
Dorain is on a 2034 5v5 team.
Song 3: Frogger!
The answer is Swahili. And no, it's just a jumble of sampled phrases and words that have nothing to about rogues and more to do about what day it is or what you want to eat. :P
Song 4: On Point by End User
- Seveer - Human Fury Warrior
The mainhand is the Decapitator. He had around 10400 HP and 143 resilience with 5/5 Gladiator. Fury warriors are relatively easy when compared with 2H warriors. All you really need is evasion and you are gtg. According to armory he has since switched back to a 2H build. Good move, IMO.
Seveer plays on 1940+ rated 2v2 and 5v5 teams.
- Bonaris - Human Rogue and Jarik - NE Hunter
Song 5: ? by the Criminal SaintsThe rogue doesn't cheapshot me out of the ice trap and the hunter shoots me and releases me from the blind. Good stuff all around.
- Alexsis - Human fury warrior (3/41/17)
A former rank 14 fury warrior. She is using the Planar Edge in mainhand and has 9600 HPs with 98 resilience. She seems to react slowly after the first dismount allowing a restealth. Probably eating subway or something. She actually beat me in a later 1v1, but my FRAPS tanked my framerate on me. That happens often when I run low on space. And that happens often because FRAPS files are freaking HUGE. More on that later.
- Thibalex - Human 2H warrior and two adds
This fight is actually from two months ago when I was combat build. You can see I use blade flurry here. The former rank 14 warrior is using Thunder. I barely put him down. I use KS at the end, because it felt like he was drifting away from me. Nothing is worse than getting snared and just out of range of a nearly dead target while other people beat you to death.
- Pkunforgivin - Human arcane/fire mage with one add
This clip is also two months old when I was combat. Pkunforgivin is a former rank 14 mage who has since upgraded his gear quite a bit. He is currently playing on a 1940+ 3v3 team. It seems like 80% of the mages I run across out there are arcane/fire and only 20% or so are frost. Even those who are involved with PvP teams. I was kind of surprised by this.
- Poledra - NE druid and Pamgrier - Human fury warrior
The last of the two month old combat clips. TELL ME ABOUT ILLEGAL DANISH AND I WILL SPARE YOUR LIFE.
- Mezzery - Human warlock
This is another 100-0 CoS extended stunlock. In this case Mezzery had 11K HP and used a 3K healing potion as well. IIRC, he had little resilience.
- Tgrable - Human mage
This clip was actually a mistake to include. I was looking for a filler (to fill out the song) and mage fights make good fillers since they are usually short. But, I grabbed the wrong one, put it in and rendered it. Then to salvage harddrive space I deleted the original fraps. So, the mistake was effectively unrecoverable. My apologies, Tgrable.
Tgrable was only 80% health when this fight started, but what it gives you a good look at what happens when fraps tanks your framerate during a fight. When I swung around to gouge my framerate dropped to about 5 for a couple of seconds. It's like getting hit with every single CC in the game all at once. I end up with my camera pointed straight up at the night sky, LOL. Fortunately, it subsided some and I was able to recover. I usually don't recover from a fight like this where my framerate tanks.
- Heladesira - Human demonology warlock (7/43/11) and two adds
This soul-linked warlock had 13200 HPs with 152 resilience. During the fight she used a master healthstone for a 2800 heal. Her pet died, so it was most likely still injured and still healing when I attacked. So, it's not really a clean kill but hopefully the warrior and druid adds helped counterbalance that misfortune some.
BTW, I didn't miss the kick on the fear. Her gear gave her a 5% chance to resist interrupt effects. :)
- Some hunter
Some unfortunate hunter that I wanted to practice my dance routine on.
Song 6: One Two by End User
A comedy skit. You will need to download the HQ version to get the full joke, though.
Song 7: Storm by Covenant
- Melesius - Human frost mage and Solidifier - Human mage
Nerf CoS OMG! I have no clue where the second mage disappeared off to in this fight (I think he thought I died), but I killed him 1v1 a few minutes later in a noneventful fight.
- Untamned - NE rogue
The only reason this fight is here is because it is the first of a string of two fights. This rogue tried to vanish with my rupture on him and then just came in and committed suicide. Interestingly enough, this guy led the killboard at the end of this match. /boggle
- Tyhon - Human retribution paladin (20/0/41)
This fight was actually a duel. We seem to run across each other alot in the BGs. Tyhon has about 9100 HPs with 3/5 Glad and Thunder as weapon. Things really couldn't have gone worse for Tyhon. I anticipated his repentence by a fraction of a second. His hammer of justice got eaten by my racial, and I dodged two swings as I came in on his perception. I ended this fight with about 15% health, but I still had blind (and prep) up. Hopefully, we will get a chance to duel again and his fortune won't be so bad.
- Ignatios - Gnome affliction warlock (43/7/11)
Ignatios is another person I seem to run across in the BGs a lot. He has around 10500 HPs with 149 resilience. He knew I was near and was running around looking for me with the felhunter. Note the distract I use to turn him around just as I come in for the opener. He gets off his deathcoil in the slight opening offered up by my expose armor opener, but ends up eating the kidney shot anyway. I had one tic on that DoT left before he came back from the GY and killed me. Bind rushing is lame, Ignatios! Lame, I tell you!
- Adyss - human 2H warrior with inteference from a passing paladin
Adyss had about 10K HP using Thunder. Passby HoJs hurt when fighting a warrior. Other than that, nothing too special.

I've got way too many sites I'm regularly checking up on now...
Wait, no I'm not.
*I don't*
All right, I've finally watched the movie.
I did not like the zoomed in UI change. I always like to know what's going on, so in movies I really dislike it when people use the default health bars/portraits and I have to keep moving my eyes away from the main action to check up health, energy, etc.
Like I said in your rogue forum thread, try using something like what Shurrik did in his latest movie. Have you thought of making a movie specific UI profile? Might be too much work though, I haven't tried anything like that yet.
I like the rest of the movie though.
Yup, will definitely NOT be cutting out health info next time LOL
Good to know RE: keeping the health info in next time. Personally I always like to see the combat log too, but that's often a wash depending on the video resolution. But at least being able to see how much health/rage/mana you and your opponent have makes the sequences more dramatic (or less so if you're fighting a scrub).
So while I disliked the zoomed-in effect, I thought you did have some good stuff in there - I particularly liked that one intro sequence to eye of the storm where you did the slow zoom in and refocus. Looked slick. The intro at the beginning was cool too, although I have seen others somewhat like it elsewhere. And the dubbing thing/dig at Ming got a chuckle, as did the dialogue with the black box.
In terms of the fights, it certainly seemed like you took out some well-geared opponents, but unlike some of your past movies, I wasn't particularly "wowed" by the build and interested in perhaps trying it. That said, I do appreciate your desire for a challenge.
In sum, definitely not my favorite of your movies, but you've put so many out that have entertained, enlightened and inspired me that I'll give you free pass this time. I'm never going to look down on experimentation.
cheers!
