Subject: BG: EXTREME problems!

We are simply underequipped. When I face an epic rogue, I get hit maybe 3-4 times (and you know how fast those hits are), and Im out of hp. It is so extreme, that Im stunned.

If we want to be in this game, we must focus dramatically on getting epics. We MUST do MC at least every week, and then maybe fill ZG with the rest of the time (like twice a week maybe?). Since we are alliance and lose every single BG, there is no way we can get the PvP equipment - without the BG win points, getting there is nigh impossible. Our only way up to the top is through epics.

If we start the MRC Marshall Plan (much like USA's plan for rebuilding europe after WW2), we can as a minimum begin fielding the necessary epics, which alone will increase our efficiency dramatically.
Maybe have a grinding once every two weeks? Or every week?

We are way, way behind the curve - sad how much equipment means.

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

Another problem is that some of our players are totally clueless. After Kotta and Syrus left today, I played a bit with Azariel.
I... miss words to describe it...
Ok, so we start with a 1vs2 (we were 2), against a druid. Now, a druid IS a tough cookie if he is in survival mode, however, a shadowpriest and a warlock should have immense firepower to bring him down fast. So we begin nuking, when he is at about 60% (after our first spells), he very predictably tries to heal, so I silence him. I keep nuking, but I don't know what Azariel does - damage is simply too slow, I even fear him to prevent his next heal (he uses trinket), and when he is at 20% he manages to get through a heal.... Now, I haven't played warlocks alot, but I believe they have Curse of Tongues? Or how about Fear? Nothing came at all. We ended up losing when a mage and a rogue joined the party.

Next fight, this time we face the same druid and rogue, 2vs2. I have been on the recieving end of a warlock, and I know that if he wants to, he can keep me out of the fight. Instead when the rogue hits him, he tries to run away from him! With slowing poison on him! Omg.... I lacked words to describe it... A warlock has ALOT of defense if he is played right, and the druid can barely hurt him anyway.
Anyway, we lost that fight too, as you might have guessed :).

This is just one of our guys that I saw in action, I fear we have more like him...

Our guys need to do ALOT more PvP. I would like to expect from them that they go themselves duel at the gates of IF to learn to fight each class properly, just like we did. Or against each other.
Everyone has to play his character optimally. There is no need to have players that are 60-70% weaker than they should be on their PvP skill alone.

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

Another thing is, that we need to coordinate ALOT better. Target leader has to call out loud: "ASSIST TARGET!" or something. It has to be loud and clear and formed as a clear command. Furthermore do we need better coordination on our melee'ers. Often when we get attacked, I have 2-3 melee'ers all training me, it is such focused damage, that I go down in less than half a second. I would like us to be able to do something similar to their priest, maybe backed up with some spell-nukes.
And that is a whole other problem, how do we protect our healers against such a tactics of theirs...

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

I don't even wanna think of how far behind we are, and what we have to do to get there, not to mention to convince our guys that PvP is important. I only see the same 6-8 MRCs go to the BG - no wonder that we have problems with unskilled players, and teamplay that doesn't work optimally when a new guy is with us.

As a minimum we must at least utilize the power we have - teamplay, coordination, individual skill. This is achievable outside the grind for equipment, it is just a matter of practice. Practice while we get the equipment.

And from the things I have listed that we need to do, every single day in the week will be busy, heheh. And I know we can't spend that much time - time I am sure horde is spending :)

Some random thoughts and some rambling. What do you think?
