How would you win this special duel?

[Solarflair]

So you come here asking for people's advice and then are a dick to them when they don't give you the input you expected?

This.

Die, come back when I can beat the current holder due to class counters, repeat.

Let's say you have a special guild rank where people can challenge you via a duel for your position.

There are no rules, except for no outside participation or invention (no outside spells casted on you, on the arena floor, etc. during the fight.) and it takes place in Nagrand Arena. Pots, flasks, buffs, engineering items, weird quest rewards, every CD you have, is acceptable. The sky is the limit there.

What tricks would you use? What items? What strats? I want to see how creative people could get with this.

And yes, this is a duel coming up for me.

You can use anything in the game to gain an advantage.

My friends and I created this thing we like to call a "death duel" where you duel on top of a specific floating isle in Nagrand which has a smaller isle right below it with a tree, it is a big open field type one and you duel, once you lose, you die, you jump off onto the rock platform and die due to fall damage, thus resulting in a spirit res.

Death Duel.

I prefer this much more than your idea in the actual arena (not hating, just saying), more risk in my opinion :3.
You can still use your rules but I prefer the area we use to yours.

Good thing shadow priests have 2 snare breaks.

Take care, pros.

good job! piss off the people helping you, you're own your own champ, come back and tell us how quickly the DK ripped you apart.

Insulting the people that are telling you the truth.

Well, you will get really far with that attitude champ.


Note: A pvp guild that makes you duel for ranks must be as successful in pvp as a twink guild succeeding at killing heroic madness.

hahaha, I agree - wtf is wrong with OP. Every reply he puts in here is an insult to the poster. L2fuckinggetalife OP.

I would use engineering tinkers ofc, darkmoon fairy buff, flask, food, pots.

Free action pot would be le pimp. Or zandalari variant. Quite awesome.

No matter what exploits you discover, in this thread or somewhere else, an unholy DK who knows how to play will still beat you easily.

If you are alliance this is the time you blow the dust off your tears of elune and hope it works for level 85s.

mount up, fly high in the air, wait till the death kinght gets bored / dies from old age, win.

Yes, but there are classes that can kick you off of that floating isle, and others can't do that...
An ele shaman probably completely destroys any meele there. He just has to stand close the edge, if the meele comes, he is dead, if not he can free cast at him.
Just saying...

[roflpot]

Any guild that operates on such a structure would literally only have rogues as their guild masters/officers lol or it would change depending on flavour of the month I suppose but still, lol.

[Senathor]

Uh huh. Go check it out.

I'ma a Shadow priest vs Unholy DK.

As an example of creativity, I'll be using the Darkmoon Faire buff for 5% more damage. That's mostly the stuff I'm looking for. Not class tips.

There is no way that a shadow priests stand a chance. I just hit T2 for the first time this season, and even Gladiator Spriests ain't got a shit on me 1v1.

I do agree with you, but I mean, he really isn't asking whether or not he'll lose.. he's asking how he can win, what buffs he can have, etc.. and they're just assuming he'll lose.

They should offer up tips like you gave him, or, speak about little buffs that'll help him win. I'm not too sure what the buff is, but there's a buff in Durotar (mid-way on the map, there's a cave) where you get turned into a demon. Worth checking out, but I forget the benefits from it. I think just health regen, but idk.

I got a tip, go disc, you'll never beat an unholy DK with an s. priest.

You think Disc would be better? Lol.

Anyway, this is the kind of post that I agree with him telling you to not post, because it's not constructive to the topic.

Oh yeah, I agree, the "you can't win just give up" posts are anything but helpful (and a handful have already been reported as spam, and I've honestly been considering it myself) but it's the way the OP handled the situation that's ticked me off, not the posts he's gotten annoyed at or the people. Eg. the "pros" comments and all that stuff. Anyway, back on topic.

[Kaj392]

A couple of days later; what happened? You got your ass kicked? Or did you destroy him? Please inform us!

[Bsod]

considering you are not playing a class that will win the fight without help (rogue vs dk or something)
1.if you are a caster go gnome ingi
take that item that let you reverse gravity and jump on 1 of the pillars
2.if you fight a caster and still have zanzils reflektion pot it can be an easy win
3.if you have a pet go to magister terrance and make it stronger with this bug (dont know if still possible)
4.invis potion,free action potion or the zulgurup potion can bring some help
5.get some other fraktions player to cc you right befor the battle to have dr

[cyqu]

get on my mount, fly around until the other person forfeits the duel and i win.
