normally i would try to write up an article here, especially when we had one HELL of an epic battle yesterday against our arch enemy - team hongkongkoonyun (11minute intense battle uphill climb madness). but im dead lazy so im not gonna do that. ill probably do a news post on jomwow though.
=edit= ah how could i forget, we are now 2031 rating on 5v5, #2 on server #51 on BG. this morning update #3 on server #53 on BG.
and all 8 members in our roster getting 1.1k arena points this week. hope this shows that if ur accepting into our team, you are guaranteed your points unless you yourself not showing up for arenas.
and with that said, we are still looking for fill our 2 spots, with a holy paladin, and last spot maybe for a hunter or warrior.

bumping to keep thread alive, and yes, still recruiting a dedicated msian holy paladin. we've had multiple paladin canditates in the past and even now we have one but they are all pretty much failures and either couldnt adapt to our timezone, or just arent the 2k+ rating caliber.
resto shamans are also welcomed as we now have a win-fury needy warrior.
ding 1750 on 5v5, full honor gear, and 2 piece s4 with an overhaul on gemming netting me 1950 ap, 38% crit, 1.2k armor pene unbuffed.
could be higher, but our 6 games in the early games played were lost in a very crappy manner. i costed the team 1-2 games with 2-5k ms ping (yes, really bad heavy spikes) after a reconnection after unable to enter ventrilo with my current ip, sadly that traded my ability to play WoW too as there was apparently only one IP able to play WoW. thankfully later on im able to reconnect to my previous ip that allows wow to be at 300-400 ms then following 1-2 games caused by paladin having heavy spikes/dc. 3-4 games = our shaman on "56k" (aus isp shuts ur connection down to SHITTY 56k when ur over ur bandwidthlimit) causing 3-4 4vs5 matches with him dropping off games.
despite those stupid 6 games, we stll pulled off to 1750 rating, with 84% win ratio dominating the opposing teams harshly as all of us minus the newly recruited resto sham has been together for sometime and at the very least played throughout the majority of s3 which netted the team CLOSE to 600 incredible ammount of wins accumulated. far surpassing the 2nd highest ammount of games won by a team ever in our cyclone bg (blame timezone lol!)
hey quazacolt im currently looking for an all guild pvp like yours. planning to join. im a warrior check my armory http://www.wowarmory.com/character-sheet.x...hon&n=Fatalstab let me know if i can join your arena teams. just wanna pvp with some local friends.
pretty decent armory and you do have 4/5 s3 (well s4 > s3 anyways for that one piece brutal)
ill get back to you ASAP k? work very heavy at the moment as 2 of my colleagues took EL /facepalm
but sad to disappoint that we most likely wont get it. waay too much complications that came up during the final week. and our paladin not pulling those clutch calls when it was needed and costed us quite a ton.
in total, our final push netted around 200+ ratings. but we lost about 190 in the process. despite the insane 60+ wins and like.... 7 loss? gg timezone is gg
Which sever are you guys playing and which faction?
like, before you click this thread right, theres like a buncha text right? top of your browser/page, also a lot of text right? the first post, on the top part, also got some text right?
so... yeah.
=edit= bah forgot to not merge for bumpage

1800's for the first week, not too bad of a headstart. seems like the whole season 3 -> 4 transition very deja vu'ish from season 2 -> 3 transition. hopefully we can break free from that chain and get glad before WOTLK, that would be the ultimate reward with a title going into WOTLK (even though ill never change my hwl title ^^)
1820 on the 2nd week. and armory just in, 13TH ON CYCLONE BG!!! which prolly means we could be #1 stormscale! just need to wait for the phantom teams to get deleted and we'll know for sure
2v2 with elem sham srsly wanna make my eyes bleed when we lose. but when we win its certainly adrenaline rushing XD
best of all, we own most druid teams not running rogue druid. just nuke the druid's partner and gg.com LOL! helping our shammie for 1700 basically as he is missing our 5v5 games >.>
A few things about myself: 1) A hardcore PVPer and arena junkie trapped in a RP server. Most of my guild mates are fellow Singaporeans who only PVE and have never set foot in arenas. Luckily, a few are willing to PVP / Arenas (actually just one) and we manage to scrap together an average of 1700+ rating most of the time. The downside is that playing 2vs2 means the points come really slowly and although I got the S4 boots, I got no arena points left for the helm after snapping up the S4 gloves, chest and leggings. Our 3s and 5s are virtually dead, no one plays.
2) Although I have played WOW for more than a year doing not much else other then BGs and 2s arenas, use macros and kiting extensively, I consider my skill level is only average (or maybe even below average) at best. I am just not in the right guild and server where there are enough PVPers. On my own, there is only so much I can do for self-improvement. Watching videos of 2K+ hunters and executing it in arena are very different things and I am finding it hard to progress further in arenas when most of my arena experience is 2s with a rogue.
From what you described, the kinda of guild you are running is something I am very keen to join. Problem being that I can't transfer my toon over to a PVP server and would have to reroll. 1-70 would take some weeks and the obligatory BG grind after that would take also a week or two, meaning by the time I meet entry level requirements (full S2 welfare) to arena it might be 2-3 months. My question is, would you invite a leveling toon to your guild? Also, while I understand you are looking for a healer, I have tried many classes and I am really passionate about the hunter class (despite them not very well represented in arenas) and committed to making it work. Would you accept a hunter into your 5s?
Look forward to hearing from you.
thanks for expressing interest in our team/guild, however as you know yourself, hunters are the least represented class in arenas i think you know why. Will have to check with everyone else on what they think of a hunter addition to the 5v5 team. (as we have 3 healers atm we do have the option to run loldrain team that do require a hunter.)
ill let you know by latest around wednesday night ish. will be pm'ing you soon.
This just in, it looks like the previous season's phantom teams are removed, and we now have a clearer view on our team's progression:
As teams progressed with the passing days, our team fell below rank 27 Cyclone, and from rank 1 to rank 2 Stormscale.
Currently seated at 2nd place Stormscale, with one team having 100 ratings above our ass, which composed the majority of members being gladiators last season. Despite that we still had a pretty good head start, given our initial issues being dragged over since last season's ending, and the recruitment of a good skilled (his gear is season1 ish though, and is always trained in our 5's as he is easily sticking out compared to us as his gear graphic is giving away his stats too easily) shaman.
All said and done, we're still easily the most games played team (again, thanks to timezone issues), with one of the best consistant win ratio around. This Week stats 26 - 4 87% 1823
Season stats 99 games played 84 - 15 win/loss comparison 85% win ratio 1823 total ratings
looking forward to this week's comparison as more teams are rising up from their slumber (alliance guild double happiness, being our main contender in the pvp field, though we usually school them, but cant be helped as we had WAY more experience than any of their given members) to give us decent ratings as opposed to the standard 0-5 ratings / 25-30 rating losses.
