WOOP!
If it wasn’t enough that I simply enjoy your videos, YOU USE DEADMAU5 IN YOUR SOUNDTRACK!
At the moment, Deadmau5 is the greatest music producer ever, as far as i’m concerned. Check out my deviantart for a couple of wallpapers which are mau5 related, if you’re interested.
Keep it up, and keep up the selection of GREAT trance/house/progressive!

that is a really really bad build

Drexl why you say its “really really bad build” because akrioss dont have some or you are noob and you never play rogue ?
Comment by Specu — May 5, 2009 @ 1:02 am
so mby some different sub talent http://www.wowhead.com/?talent#fhefoxMoiboGzZZebfbh0dbV so 1 mistake you mby have right…. rogue dont need Iniative because after we crit multilate add 3 combo point ( Cold Blood ) with iniative we’ll be have 6 combo point so its bad idea ;p
Comment by Specu — May 5, 2009 @ 1:08 am

Comment by Desolator — May 5, 2009 @ 3:13 am
Akrios, don’t you think that mages can just “fake” blink you and deny a spring restealth if their not retarded and know how you react to blinks? Despite your objections to reaction in duels (gouging a trinket on CS) your run behind blink trick(and portal) is just as, if not more, flawed?!?
P.S NOICE MOVIE
))
Comment by Raddy — May 5, 2009 @ 3:13 am
if that happens, the mage blinks forward (conventionally) and I am far enough to get a restealth. if he goes to a side or backwards the trick is effective. If they don’t blink they eat too much damage, I might look like an idiot once but if I know they won’t blink it won’t work twice. Obviously it doesn’t work perfectly all the time, but there aren’t too many downsides to it. And ya basically when I was advocating reaction over prediction I meant when possible, ie. if you have a choice to guess or react, react. Prediction is an important part of general game play.

I have a few questions for you Akrios,
If not then kudos to your amazing reflexes 
Do you use a sap macro? If so would you mind sharing,
Also, what addon shows the length of your cc on your cc’d targets? I’m assuming Stunwatch but i’m not quite sure.
Fantastic work on your movie, if not the best you have produced
Comment by Eeko — May 5, 2009 @ 6:12 am

You have the email already so could mail me aswell.
Thanks in advance
Comment by Kaynara — May 5, 2009 @ 1:10 pm
Just out of curiosity, how is the trick still effective if the mage blinks to the side? It gives him the same distance, except instead you are running perpendicular away from him.

i been looking forward to this for a while. the video definitely was worth waiting for. as always i learn a little something every time i watch it. the ffa and the end was some of the most entertaining 3 minutes of wow movies i have watched. thanks for the movie and for this site. keep up the good work.

Comment by Evolas — May 5, 2009 @ 3:08 pm
After this video and the reaction post there came a a question in my mind… Do you still enjoy this game? Like professional footbal players etc, playing footbal every day, match after match… The way you play wow is very similar, season after season, get the gear, create movies, write posts, and you are also work as a gm as I know… So wow still an enjoyable hobby or became a common part of your everyday life? Anyway this video is very good, best perspectives as allways, show every moves and every little steps of the actions! Best wishes for the season!

Skill, reaction and style — as always. Thank you for another inspiring video.
And may I ask — are you switching your offhand weapon from the one with Titanium Weapon Chain to one with Mongoose/Berserking if facing team without disarm (sorry for my English)?
Comment by mecmep — May 5, 2009 @ 11:03 pm
Lovely as usual. Vanish more deathcoils!
Music wasn’t my cup of tea but it fit the music really well so.
Keep up the good work!
Comment by Coltraine — May 6, 2009 @ 1:00 am
It’s quite obvious that the times you vanish Deathcoils / shit like that, you are facing people you have played against before, thus yuo know how they react and when it will come.
Comment by Mort — May 6, 2009 @ 2:33 am
People saying “holy crap, Vanish death coils!”, it’s all about reading your opponent. When a warlock has 40%’ish health it’s obvious the death coil will come soon.
Besides, by the look of the figths, i’d say he has met those people quite a few times, thus learned how they react and play.
Good video, entertaining and nice to watch.
Comment by Mort — May 6, 2009 @ 2:36 am
What shoot you in to the air in the FFA
Comment by Allucrey — May 6, 2009 @ 3:54 am
First of all, excellent movie as always! Looking forward to more.
Tho i have a question. I see alots of death coils being vanished away. Is it a feeling you have that they will come or have you actuelly ûber reflexes ? :O
Comment by Mogge — May 6, 2009 @ 4:01 am
I’m impressed after every video in another way…
Srsly your reactions are insane, I can’t imagine, that you vanished those DCs and blinds out of pure reaction…must be prediction or luck
Also you are icecold (compared to me) like in the fight vs Mahiko you ate behind that pillar and stealthed + opener right after the blink…I know if I would have been you I would’ve failed the restealth miserably (dot on him) and died…
Comment by Stealth — May 6, 2009 @ 5:21 am
Little tip to Night elfs rogues, or just any night elf really; You can “dodge” any casting things such as Death coils and stuff like that with Shadowmeld. Just use it right before the spell hits you, and you can dodge it. Quite useful really.
Again, great movie.

Comment by Asrial — May 6, 2009 @ 5:27 am
AWESOME!! hope u read this. Your vanished DCs are predictions or u doig right after u see the lock casting it? Whats your ms/fps then? BTW Unbelievable blink predictions!! gotta practice those!

Oh BTW what is your current FPS in game(non raiding), and what system specifications do you have?

Comment by Palas — May 6, 2009 @ 4:15 pm
Great video!
I was just wondering why you don’t use disarm vs. resto shamans or holy paladins? They lose like 600 bonus healing and a lot of armor/migitation, don’t they?
Comment by Carpedies — May 6, 2009 @ 5:56 pm
Badass as always bro. Loving the inspiring trance music and the gameplay. Simply amazing, keep up the great work and keep em comin! xDDDDDDDDDDDDD
Comment by Wizex — May 6, 2009 @ 8:09 pm
The thing about your videos that makes me want to watch the whole thing, aside from the obvious skills, is the slow-mo and the nice camera angles. If u were still on guru. i guess i could learn a quite a lot from u in terms of arenas etc.
I play a mage, just hit 80 like 3 days ago, just wondering what itemization should the mage go for in arenas? (assuming rogue/mage set-up) all pve-gear?…i dunno…since arena is rly burst dependent now.
Oh yea, do u still know any decent mage on guru that i can ask mage questions…saddly there is no magemage

Comment by Baltymus — May 7, 2009 @ 3:04 am
another great movie from the arenas series – good music choice, Rogue FFA was cool but i dont think that vanishing the Death coils was based on a reaction, cause simply its possible for someone to react that fast when the coil is comming from melee range-for me it was pure prediction. Still the thing is that you have predicted well your oponent’s reaction and it worked every time probably because of your experience and having played against shiol be4 as well.Other than that awesome vid.Expecting the world pvp movie

- theres also that devil guy or whatnot. i can’t think of his name but hes part of that group that all has devil in their name.
also i’ve come to find that pyaasa knows a ton about pvp( hes a priest) like how to fight certain comps.
Comment by on Guru — May 7, 2009 @ 10:15 am
Hello Akrios,
i love your vids since lvl 60!!!
What you think is the best setup for a pve geared rogue.. RM or with a resto druud or feral druud
or you got any other suggestions for a 2v2 partner .. coz on my server there are seriously 0 skilled mages ok… 1 but he is alrdy at 2500 rating so thats not really an option.
Mail me if you can
GG on movie <3 seriously l33T skillZ

omg that was some sic shit!!! my fave so far, loved the scenes with the bike, and the FFA at the end was leet. Im a metalhead to the core but i really enjoyed the music, it all fit so perfectly. Also the rocketboots backfiring made for a great ending. Kudos to you man, you got talent. And feinting the bladestorm was awesome, i usually just run like hell, guess i got some work to do…
Comment by Bendickson — May 7, 2009 @ 5:09 pm

“I’m better than DrakeDog” GTFO
-Nice movie Akrios. I thought #4 was better, personally, but the FFA rogue shit was what made this worth the watch.
Mahiko is truly a god at such a rare spec – Shadow dance.
You and him need to make a duo or something =D
Comment by Sinborn — May 7, 2009 @ 5:56 pm
Wanted to ask a quick question about how you feinted Bladestorm in one clip. Whats the significance of that? Does the feinting cause less incoming WWs toward you? Would appreciate your reply. Thanks again, good movie as always
Comment by Fuma — May 7, 2009 @ 7:06 pm
Whats your general latency at? And do you use the sap macro in the macro section to find rogues? Generally I have the hardest time fighting/vanishing rogues out. Im kind of content with vanishing death coils but I would like to know how your reactions got so asian like
Comment by Miki — May 7, 2009 @ 8:31 pm
No offence Akrios and Nilton, but all this commentaries is like a joke now. 120 comments and the number is still growing. It’s hard to track ‘em all down and answer to some questions….I dunno. Maybe you have to make a forum or smth. I mean your states about movies, tips, PvE and all that stuf are great…it’s just…there are too many users for such construction of the website. Maybe you should guys do an expansion or smth…

hi akrios i must say i have always enjoyed your movies, but honestly this video deserves 3/5 from me, i mean theres nothing new in it except the ffa highlights at end which was pretty awesome :b
its the same all the way through, allright u vanish deathcoils etc but that is getting OLD! and when you show some 2v2 clips try and show some fights versus harder combos like dk/druid and pala/druid etc.. nice video but overrated imo.

Comment by Vahe — May 8, 2009 @ 1:01 am
Hey akrioss nice movie as usual. I’m just curious as to why you don’t use engineering goggles despite having the profession? the majority of rogues i see in arena do have it so it seems as if you are giving yourself a disadvantage against other rogues? How do you play to counter goggles?
also any tips on positioning in arena to maximize getting a sap and not getting sapped myself.

The dodge you gain from ability’s and your base agility are not affected by diminishing returns.
The dodge you gain from additional agility and dodge rating (same for parry and miss) is affected by diminishing returns in a way that you gain less dodge per point of agility the more agility you have.
This is to prevend rogues from tanking like they did in tbc.

in all honesty this is one of my weakest points in arena, I often get sapped and lose games because of it. From everyone I’ve asked and talked to it seems to be pretty random, of course being a nelf or human helps. I personally just dislike using goggles, something about it feels cheap to me but they are very useful and effective, especially if you know you’re going to be playing a rogue team.
Comment by Akrios — May 8, 2009 @ 11:29 am
Ya i can understand not liking it for that, but there’s a limited amount of creativity you can have. People always ask for something new but there isn’t always something new to show, and it’s not really something you can force. I choose clips based on entertainment more than for difficult comps, because tbh even when you play perfect and win against a lot of dk teams or healer / plate teams it simply looks messy and isn’t fun to watch. To each their own I guess.

i run anywhere from 50-200 latency depending on my net, i did the reg edit about a month ago and it helped a lot (average from 150-250 went to 50-100)

decreases aoe damage taken by 50 percent
Comment by Akrios — May 8, 2009 @ 11:35 am
i think 1280×960 or around there with max settings, I have a decent comp ( 2 year old dual core with 8800 gt) but don’t forget in the video itself I use some effects at times to make things look a bit better (Ie. light rays, adjusting contrast, etc)

Comment by Crawler — May 8, 2009 @ 12:51 pm
The blink prediction at the beginning was godly, i was like o.0, but then it struck me why would the mage blink towards you unless he was going for the frost nova for higher damage.. just a thought, GJ.

Hey there,
I completely love your videos and was wondering if I could get the name of the font you use for damage being shown.
Comment by Chumps — May 8, 2009 @ 5:14 pm
Hey there I was just wondering what font you using when you deal damage and if you could provide a link to a place where it could be downloaded from. Thank you.
Comment by Chumps — May 8, 2009 @ 8:41 pm
btw i was wondering how you do the “rumble” effect where the screen rumbles? are you manually setting keypoints with pan/crop or is there some kind of preset thing? really wanna know
Comment by Vahe — May 9, 2009 @ 4:47 am
Realy nice movie I love when you are vanishing saping rogues. 5/5

Comment by Feintblade — May 10, 2009 @ 3:02 am
Great video man. 9/10 I notice you like trance. Very nice music to listen to while playing WoW, send me an email and i can hit you up with some nice club trance perfect for wow. Other then that you inspire me to pvp on my rogue, and attempt to learn hotkeys, since im a clicker:( yea failrogue.

Comment by Smakus — May 10, 2009 @ 6:57 am
Hey akrios , with all this competetive arena does it stop you from going out and socializing? , do you spend most of your time either working or playing wow or do you have a balance between wow and going out?

Comment by Akrios — May 10, 2009 @ 10:03 am
Love your UI, but when I download it, and do all the require ments.
It looks all fucked up, can you update it or at least help?
And how do I learn to be as good as you?!
Comment by Dave — May 10, 2009 @ 11:12 am
Akrios, i have a question for you. Do you think you could post your fraps settings, wow video settings, and what settings you use to upload/render your video.

Good as always. The music wasn’t as appropriate as your previous movies, but it didn’t take away from the movie. 5/5 and a skill point on WCM.

Comment by meee — May 11, 2009 @ 5:44 am
firstly, its a quite perfect video,thats a fact.
secondly, i have a suggestion for you that i´d like to see in your next arena vol. VI video:
When i saw your vid, i had the imagination of seeing your fingers typing on your keyboard like blazes so i´m asking you to put a small scene of seeing this intop your next video. that would be great.

Hey Akrios, I was wondering having trouble when to predict rogues use there trinkets(good rogues). And what would trinket when you don’t get opener?
Great Video Btw Loved them all.

I’d love to see you & Mahiko do 2v2 again. You two are gods. I’d even pay you for that
Comment by Luke — May 12, 2009 @ 12:13 pm
@vaccum
blinding/vanishing trinkets is all reflexs and predicting.
i have amamzing reflexs, so i use this to my advantage, were has unmercey has learned the predicting way to perfection.
all you have to do is learn the other player, like in rogue Duels/ vs rogues in arena.
Every, almost every, rogue will trinket CS if not a second into KS, if it is up that is.
so i usually pre-gouge, which is CS behind the target then walk to the front spamming gouge. This works 50% of the time because some rogues jut dont trinket CS.
Also, you could watch your CS/KS very very closely and RIGHT when you see that button disappear if the timer isnt up Blind or vanish. This works for me every time, because like i said i have amazing reflexs.(why i never get in crashs =P)
hope this helps if you ever read this.

i would like some of that music too, please. =D
Comment by speakss — May 12, 2009 @ 2:00 pm
against mages why do you target the pet? is that just you tabbing or what..?
and after you sap a mage why does your stealth break? you get a free re stealth but I think in the video the mage trinketed the sap and got you in combat.
i love your videos, they are very entertaining and i always learn a lot =) the FFA at the end makes me want to get together with some of my friends and have at it =)
Comment by twinhat — May 12, 2009 @ 5:33 pm
Hey Akrios, how is it that you get blown all the way up into the sky, high enough to use ur parachute?
Also, what was that move that you had where you threw something at the enemy and it incapacitated them? Was that in an arena?
Comment by Superfly — May 13, 2009 @ 12:25 am
Hey Akrios, I have been a follower since Wrath and I was wondering with the new patch you could make some rogue duels. I’m curious as to how you win when you get opened on with garrote, then rupture.
Thanks,

Ello Akrios. First of all, nice video, all of em actually, really loved watching them, studying them, and learning from them.
Secondly, whats your motivation? I mean, when im either in arena, or just in a battleground, my motivation is music. Keeps me focused on the game somehow. Simply just curious.

What Addons do you use in arena for rogue/mage?
Comment by Fearlezz — May 30, 2009 @ 11:07 pm
Hi Akrios! How comes you use a completetly different music style that when you were level 70 for example “Eviscerate 9″? I liked that movie so much and it was more enjoyable to watch with that kind of music
– But your videos are still good
Comment by Thorael — June 1, 2009 @ 5:07 pm
hey man great video 5/5. love your play style… and i love how all these people are saying nothing new about it.. heh. Not much more you can do to be one of the best rogues in WoW existance ATM. keep up the good work.

It’s the combination of amazing skill and awesome, original music that keeps me coming back for more.

So, you like the Progressive and Trance better? Or worse then the metal / rock?
Comment by Control — June 9, 2009 @ 9:34 am
shouldn’t really beat good opponents 1 on 1 without prep at this stage in pvp
Comment by Akrios — June 10, 2009 @ 6:37 am
as akrios says its all about prediction lots of mages blinks over your head cuz ur very insighted to kill them and finish the duel asap so he figured out that you turn somewhere right before you hit the mage!? so plz leave the blink stuff out he knows what his doing
Comment by reqz — June 11, 2009 @ 4:18 am
tbh its not very true that they can figure out that the rogues know to do the things akrios do?? so the will be clueless
cuz the first time will seem like an wild guess so i tell you its smart to do the way he does and btw he looks if the mages blinks or not so the mage will look like a fool on an fake blink
Comment by reqz — June 11, 2009 @ 4:20 am
