Duels vs. Neilyo
In spite of the fact that I wasn’t sure if I would post this, I decided to because I thought it was pretty entertaining and that there hasn’t been much to discuss/post since the end of season 4. This is a selection from some duels I had against neilyo a few weeks ago, patch 3.0, no dismantle used. Although I’m not sure of the record (too many duels) I will say that he had the upper hand in terms of the ratio of duels won while being opened on and I give him the edge in terms of rogue v rogue.

I really haven’t taken rogue vs. rogue seriously until recently. I used to feel that it was almost completely based on the opener and maybe some luck, but I’ve changed my mind. While the opener gives a big advantage, if the person being opened on has prep, the fight goes a lot deeper.
Vanishing blinds is a huge reality; it equates to a guessing game coupled with reaction time scenario (guessing the person will trinket –> blind or trinket–> vanish, which isn’t much of a guess because if they don’t they’ll be reopened on without a trinket. Reaction comes in response to the other player’s trinket). There’s also the threat of being blinded out of vanish, wherein one rogue tries to vanish a blind but instead is blinded out because the rogue blinding hesitates very slightly on purpose. Another thing you’ll see here is blinding a blind, which is used in reaction to a rogue trinket –> blinding, and the rogue being blinded reacting with blind. (I realize this paragraph may be confusing).
I was opening as mutilate and being opened on as prep because if you’re being opened on without prep you have a very slim chance of winning, even if you were to vanish the blind. I’m more experienced with mutilate but I’ve got a pretty good handle on how to try to respond with prep.
Anyway, hopefully you enjoy the video, and don’t over-think it.
New Guild, <INCURSUS> now Recruiting
Although I’m well aware that the vast majority of the people who read this site are rogues and that is the class the we need least by far, I thought I’d post this here anyway.
We’re starting a new guild for WOTLK on cho’gall. This guild will raid 3 days a week and look to progress through endgame quickly without an overly intensive raid schedule. These will be 25 man raids.
The guild is starting with a core of about 20 players that have known each other for several years and have or will be transferring to Cho’gall. The server itself has a very strong horde population.
We keep things pretty light and love to pvp. We’re looking for members who can relax most of the time but know when to get serious during raids. If you’re a competant player that wants to be rewarded fairly for effort and commitment, check us out.
As far as class need goes, we are in most need of healers, tanks, and warlocks, althought we still are looking to fill out many of the other positions. Even if you’re class wasn’t just mentioned, feel free to apply at

where you can find rules and more information.
