Nerf Druids 5

http://www.warcraftmovies.com/movieview.php?id=41727

If you haven't seen this already, then you need to set aside some time to do so. Warning: It's 45 minutes long so you might need some popcorn.

This is one of the best PvP movies I've ever seen (and usually I avoid the word best, right!). The intro is solid, the music is great (IMO), but most importantly the PvP is just mesmerizing the watch. This druid has 10K HP in catform and around 14K HP in bear form. With that kind of HP and being able to shift in and out for heals or escape her survivability is just incredible.

The first part of this movie features BG PvP and includes mostly 1vNs. Some of the escapes and turnarounds are just wonderful to watch. The second part of the movie includes 2v2 with another druid. I even actually enjoyed watching the 2v2 matches and I usually don't like watching arena matches.

Quite frankly, watching this makes it look like the druid is much more fun to play than the rogue. So many options, so much more survivability. With the trinkets hitting rogue CC hard (really the only thing that seperated druids from rogues) I wonder if that will be even more the case after the patch. Druids have CC, but they just don't depend on it as much as rogues do since they can heal themselves.

Once again, a very entertaining and impressive movie. It actually held my full attention for the full 45. If you got time and haven't seen it yet, it's well worth the download.

Over the last 2 years, oozo has made a few 'PVP videos' of himself running around on his poorly geared rogue.

He clearly recorded a HUGE amount of footage, and the few times he actualy won against someone in good gear, he put it in his videos.

HOWEVER

Its PAINFULLY obvious, when you watch ANY of these videos, that every time he beats someone of said gear cailber, he wins because they are responding slowly, or not using key abilities, or get a rediculous string of misses, or he resists 3-4 stuns in a row, etc. If you disagree with me, watch his videos, its CLEAR AS DAY. 90% of his videos have been mashing SS and hoping for mace stun procs.

I made it a habit to watch all rogue pvp videos that are released, and i put ALL of oozo's videos in the category of "Kid recording everything he does and uploading clips of when he gets lucky."

You can clearly see from the way he plays that he is lacking a fundemental understanding of other classes spec's and abilities, there are simply too many instances in his movies where he makes mistakes. (Im sure most of these are beyond his realization, and perhaps still are, due to his inability to handle constructive critism.) I assume this is because he has never played another class.

Im sorry oozo, but you ARE a mediocre player, you allways have been. Your gear has allways been bordering on pathetic, your spec and playstyle is, and has allways been lacking, and your online persona is immature and childish.

Im assuming from what I have seen that you are a younger player, 15-16 years old. This being said, you may appeal to players of similar age.

I can see you are trying to get attention for yourself, and thats ok. But i beleive you are interpreting the attention you are receiving as an indication that you are a great player, you are not. You are not even close, and you never have been.

To offer you some friendly advice, based on your last blog post. I beleive you should reroll a druid, it is my opinion that someone like yourself would be happier in their community, also the class and playstyle is alot more forgiving, and I beleive this will suit you better.

Crits said...

My above comment was just my opinion and advice, after re-reading it i can see how it might be interpreted as offensive. This was not my intention.

I am simply trying to let the owner of this site know that he should stop comparing himself to other WoW players blogs (i wont mention any names, but there are MANY examples.(not just the obvious one.))

Most of those blogs are created by players with some form of credibility.
Oozo, you have never even acheived mediocre success pre-TBC, and the videos you released only reduced further your credibility as an independantly thinking, good player, whos opinion is worth anything to the rogue community.

Once again, i apologize if my opinion causes you emotional distress. I visit many blogs daily, and watch many videos. I would assume my opinion would be of intrest to you.

"its CLEAR AS DAY. 90% of his videos have been mashing SS and hoping for mace stun procs."

After reading this, it's clear that you based this on the last 2 movies oozo released (his worse videos IMO, but i generally dislike combat spec videos), search for his previous ones, or for the Chromed ones.

It is ridiculous to say 90% of his videos are SS spam when 50% of them are dagger spec!

Regarding the "bad opponents", well.. after all, he "can only beat noobs" :p

Crits said...

Well, the majority of his videos were SS spamming, as i can recal. I also remember his dagger videos being equally unimpressive.

Raggok said...

Your opinion is actually a huge pile of steaming bullshit as are all opinions based upon lies and ignorance.

BUT, it's your right to be ignorant and wrong. Afterall, it is a free country.

All anyone needs to do to see what you've written is biased garbage is to get to this line:

"90% of his videos have been mashing SS and hoping for mace stun procs."

I've only made one movie (excluding Raggok) where I use Sinister Strike as my primary attack. Coincidentally it is also the only movie in which I had a mace spec for stun procs.

You've seen one, possibly two of my movies and are just lying your ass off to fill in the rest.

You are dishonest and biased. Have a nice day.

Raggok said...

"I also remember his dagger videos being equally unimpressive. "

If you remember those movies, then why the "90% of my videos is spamming SS" bullshit?

You've just admitted you are a liar, champ.

Crits said...

Disregarding everything i have said, because of one line is what i expected of you.

Your inability to take any critism without throwing a tantrum is one of your major shortcomings.

Im sure this is clear to anyone who reads your site. It is something you should work on as a person.

Raggok said...

That one line showed that you were both biased and lying. Why should I take anything else you have to say seriously when you make an idiotic comment like that?

And, I take constructive criticism just fine. But, that is not what you had to offer. All you offered up was a huge steaming pile of biased bullshit.

Raggok said...

I'm sorry, but saying "I have seen all of your videos" and saying "90% of his videos have been mashing SS and hoping for mace stun procs" are 100% logically exclusive.

Either you are biased and lying or you are flat out stupid. Quite possibly both.

Raggok said...

NOTE: I will not play your childish games on this blog. Your posts will be deleted.

If you want to spam and act like children then stay at WoM.

Crits said...

You deleted comments from all the other people who agree with me?

Wow, thats pretty pathetic.

Raggok said...

Why should I treat your seriously when you type something like this?

"90% of his videos have been mashing SS and hoping for mace stun procs."

It is so grossly biased and false it is laughable. And then you start to CRY foul when you get called on it?

The statement itself shows exactly where you are coming from. Whatever else you have to say is worth nothing.

Crits said...

I had no idea he would respond like this, i beleive he may be having some sort of IRL breakdown.

Also, oozo, if your going to delete the posts of everyone who disagrees with you, you might want to edit your own posts to remove the quotes?

Any small amount of respect i had for you is now completely gone after the way you have handled this. I agree with the above post (that was promptly deleted by you)
You should take a small break to calm down before you post anymore.

Raggok said...

I don't want either you or the idiots I deleted as part of this blog.

As far as you all spamming my blog at the same time. I don't believe in coincidences.

Crits said...

I honestly diddnt know any of those people oozo. Those DOZEN posts you deleted were from other people who read your blog. If you dont beleive that, well, i dont really care. They know, and i know.

B.R. Brainerd said...

Wow, wall of text. Coming from a 70 druid, trust me, they're not as fun as rogues to play. Turtling and being forced to heal in arenas=snoore.

Raggok said...

They came over from Ming's blog, because either you (under a different name) or a friend of yours linked your original post.

That is why they came here.

And as far as you "losing respect" for me? You never had any respect in the first place otherwise you would not have come here to blatantly lie about me.

Crisp said...

"I don't want either you or the idiots I deleted as part of this blog."

I assure I am not an idiot.

So who do you want as part of your blog?

People who offer totally valid, constructive points that aren't positive in regards to you are clearly not wanted.

Cover your ears and eyes, and it won't be real, right?

"As far as you all spamming my blog at the same time. I don't believe in coincidences."

That's just paranoid assumption.

I have no idea who Crits is, apart from reading his opinions online.

Raggok said...

"People who offer totally valid, constructive points "

"90% of his videos have been mashing SS and hoping for mace stun procs."

---------------------------------

You would not know "valid" if it hit you in the face.

Raggok said...

Here's another "valid" point our pal Crits has had to offer up:

"Trying to sell yourself as a top tier rogue is false advertizing."

---------------------------

Once again, I will only tolerate so much of your dishonesty on this blog. Lies and distortions are worse than abusive language, and I will toss your garbage out with the rest of the trash.

Raggok said...

"Wow, wall of text. Coming from a 70 druid, trust me, they're not as fun as rogues to play. Turtling and being forced to heal in arenas=snoore."

I meant from a 1v1 point of view. Those scenes in the BGs looked like fun to me. :)

Crisp said...

"People who offer totally valid, constructive points "

"90% of his videos have been mashing SS and hoping for mace stun procs."

---------------------------------

You would not know "valid" if it hit you in the face."

Sadly, Oozo, you deleted the post I made earlier where I said I agreed with "most" of what Crits said.
"Most" as in, not everything he said.

See, if you had not deleted that post of mine, you wouldn't then have been able to try and strawman my valid comment by latching onto 1 tiny thing that you feel can be used to undermine and (self) invalidate my post.

I do not agree that 90% of your videos were SS spam.

But the stuff regarding your mediocrity and immaturity - yes, I totally agree.

That is my honest opinion.

It is neither a lie nor distortion of my personal opinion.

Raggok said...

Don't bother posting here anymore crits. I'm simply not going to tolerate people like you here.

Notice how I DO NOT delete Carlo's comment even though he says he didn't like my last two movies. What Carlos would have to offer would be "constructive criticism" what you people have to offer is biased bullshit and worthless hyperbole.

Raggok said...

"But the stuff regarding your mediocrity and immaturity - yes, I totally agree.

That is my honest opinion."


Then, I would kindly ask:

Why are you even here?

Let me write this one down in my book: Crisp thinks I'm mediocre and immature.

Okay, your feelings have been duly noted and observed, goodfellow.

You can happily be on your way now, knowing that your good deed of the day has been done.

Crits said...

Dont worry, i wont be returning to this site. To post or view.

Simply because your opinion isnt worth anything at all. And you delete posts made by anyone else, whos opinion may differ from yours.

You are childish, immature and seem to have big problems with emotional control. Acting the way you have today is exactly why people think of you as a joke, because you are.

Delete this post if you want, i honestly dont care about your site anymore, I have come to the conclusion that any discussion centred around you in any way is nothing but verbal diatribe.

The only positive thing i am taking from this experiance is that im sure anyone who read this page during your tantrum came to the same conclusion that i did. You are pathetic, a joke, and are incapable of handling even the most trivial of critisism, even over an anonymous medium such as the internet.

You are also a scrub rogue, your armory link proves that.

Good day.

Raggok said...

"Delete this post if you want, i honestly dont care about your site anymore"

Oh God, now I just feel horrible. I mean, it was so clearly your favorite site just until today.

:'(

Raggok said...

These people are absolutely hilarious. They come here to blatantly insult me, but when I just don't sit back and take it, they start crying foul about how unfairly they've been treated.

They remind me a lot of schoolyard bullies.

WHA73V3R said...

"It wasnt my intention to start a flamefest. But its obvious that this was started by your childish tantrum like responces, and not my original opinion."

Really? Come on now, be honest. After all, what the fuck does any of this have to do with this blog entry about a Druid PVP video?

FYI, you can keep days, weeks, months of FRAPS footage on a 60 GB hard drive. I mean, the built in compression alone would let you store a good nine or ten minutes worth of clips on an empty hard drive. (Just in case there's any confusion...that was sarcasm.) It's too bad that he only has a single hd in his system...

Mar said...

you will never be as good as ming and if you keep deleting everyones posts your website will fail

Anonymous said...

"Disregarding everything i have said, because of one line is what i expected of you."

Except that one line practically destroyed all your other opinions as constructive or based on actual fact.

Unknown said...

I for one think it is wonderful that Warhammer won't have official forums.

"It wasnt my intention to start a flamefest. But its obvious that this was started by your childish tantrum like responces, and not my original opinion."

Btw, it isn't original to be "ming-ite" #420578 and join the "let's flame oozo" agenda with such made up crap.

Like any other anonymous would tell you: gb2/WoM/

Raggok said...

Guys. I'm not trying to compete with Ming's site. Ming's site is an information site. This is just a personal blog only really intended for friends and the few people out there who might agree with, have similar tastes in PvP movies, music, etc...

Now, a lot of people over the past few days have been impersonating me on Ming's blog trying to give people the impression that I'm doing some kind of profession blog to compete with Ming. None of those posts were from me.

I'm not looking to be successful, I'm not looking to be an information site. I'm not looking for a huge audience or a bunch of hits. I'm not looking for ad revenues.

And in my opinion, you are the one who has ZERO credibility if you actually give crits original post that much weight. Because it is clearly biased and almost entirely inaccurate.

Raggok said...

How many posts do I have to delete before you numbskulls realize that you are not welcome here. If you want to behave like children in an unmoderated forum just stick to WoM.

WHA73V3R said...

"This isn't an accurate blog. WoM is an accurate blog. And would you like to know why? Not because Ming's opinions are accurate because what is said is accurate. I skim over this blog and its clear that you've doctored it to what you want. Ming doesn't do this. You do. Crits opinion is well thought out with supporting premises and your response is not. Your response shows you that you're whiny and immature and barely just barely touches on the subject. Therefore, DIAF"

1) It's easier to make "accurate" statements when all of your groundbreaking ideas are just ideas rehashed from the rogue forums

2) If you believe that posts aren't deleted from WoM, you are sorely mistaken

3) Crits' opinion is about as well thought out as the responses of the frat guys who allowed themselves to be filmed for the movie Borat

4) Crits' supporting premises are a fallacious and unfounded

5) How can Oozo barely touch upon the subject, HE IS THE MOTHERFUCKING SUBECT, retard

good day...

So why do people overwhelmingly prefer Neilyo’s video over yours? Is it because people only love dagger rogues? Hell no, look at Grim’s Total Annihilation, that is how you make a combat or hemo video to entertain. Even the ghetto CS -> Hemo -> Gouge -> CB evis combo looked fantastic in that video. Compare a Grim movie versus a Niar movie, their opponents are identical in quality, as in no heavy weights whatsoever, but Grim’s video is far more appealing for people looking for entertainment, and he doesn’t have to be dagger to accomplish it. Is it because of his editing skills? Absolutely, but a lot of it also has to do with character movement.

I think I won.

xephyrind said...

Good one

Raggok said...

Okay, Grasshopper has chosen that the best way to show I'm immature and childish is to spam my blog. It looks like someone impersonated crits and made a bunch of vulgar posts. I removed those, along with some other inane comments by people with an irrational hatred of me.

I've changed the posting method so that all posts get moderated before getting published. I'm sorry for the inconvenience to decent and respectful posters but this is now clearly a necessary step.

Ginky1 said...

ello,

I gotta say that this blog wins since Im actually having fun reading all this stuff ;p

Just keep the stuff coming and I got something to do while farming BGs.

And oh btw Nerf Druids 5 was quite awesome movie.
