Reconsidering Blade Twisting Follow

Or you can change the thread title to 'Reaching New Lows'.

This is mostly a 2v2 thing here, I wouldn't advise it in 3v3 necessarily. I suppose it'll work great on a 5v5 man 4dps team, but those aren't so hot anymore.

Here's the spec:

Or this one if you think Riposte is good:

This is an anti-druid spec.

You use wound poison on your offhand and shiv to keep it to 5 and Deadly Poison on your MH. With both stacking, the druid's poison cleansing ability will not be able to keep up.

You keep S&D up and use KS whenever it's up and you go on the warlock/warrior. Hopefully blade twisting, KS and mace procs will keep him from being mobile. Have your healer toss in some burst.

Comments?

You can Deadly Throw him if he's going for your partner. And your partner can run toward you to force the warrior back into melee.

Even if it does, Deadly/Wound Poison will make it a non factor.

This also opens up Envenom as a Finisher, which might just finish the job if you can get the Warrior low and then land some key CC on his Druid (Blind, PS, Cyclone, whatever).

I'm not saying it's awesome or anything... but it seems like it maybe could work.

Also, since you're spamming Shiv, you'll get decent BT procs (Shiv spam also means more chance at Combat Potency, which further lower the energy cost). With Shiv getting a 10% dmg bonus from SA and being undodgeable as well as landing that Wound poison damage every time (That's what? +63 nature damage per shiv?) the damage ends being not that bad at all.

At worse, you could have a 2nd OH with Crippling applied on it...

Blade Twisting being a daze (snare) doesn't proc Second Wind. Second Wind is from Stuns and Roots.

I can't really comment more than that. It sounds interesting, but Blade Twisting is a weaker snare and doesn't last as long as Crippling Poison so iffy.

It's... pretty meh. I can see it being handy against Druids but I wouldn't want to give up Crippling. It might be a bonus to help lock Druids down, especially in smaller arenas, but giving up Crippling is huge.

You're not trying to lock the druid down. You don't beat Warrior/Druid by going on the druid, what are you, crazy? :P The few time we beat that team is when we manage to burst down the warrior while the druid is controlled. It doesn't work to well 95% of the time, but that at least work 5% of the time.

No, you're trying to kill the Warrior and win the mana race against his healer. Without the ability to Cleanse wound properly and with Deadly ticking down at his health... the Druid will need to be a lot more pro-active in healing.

Immobilize = Root, not snare.

I hate you guys.
I spent half of the thread trying to convince everyone that BT wasn't as terribad as people make it out to be.

Still a crap talent.

2 Points in the other LoLer talents at that tier means more than this pos talent.

Yup, that's where I got it from.

That being said, we got some rabbid Ming haters around here, who turns anything coming from his Blog into a flame/***** fest, so I tried to just talk about it without mentioning Ming.

Thanks for killing the thread :P.

He also presents a very biased PvP view point; his obession with duels is very odd to say the least.

Ming's think of himself as Vince Macmahon. He wants you to talk about him and have a reaction - good or bad.

As many people go on his blog to flame him as to actually read what he says. He's admitted before that everytimes he writes an article, he rewrite it until there's at least 3 things that can start a flame war. Enter Naruto reference, Racist comments, sport analogies, etc. People that openly hate him are pretty much just playing his game, which is ironic really.

I personally find it hilarious. You can rarely get a good in depth WoW article and be chuckling the whole way anywhere else.

But if you can look past that, there's actually some pretty good info and he does have his finger on the pulse of high end pvp. He knows what's happening, who's doing what and who's winning and losing with what spec, etc.

I'm not familiar with every WoW blogger out there ;p
