Can we get some clarification on this. Say I queue with 7 friends, but I myself also "dual queue" solo in a normal warzone. If i'm in a normal warzone ally my friends have to wait to get into a ranked warzone match until I'm done w/ my normal game? What if one of my friends gets into a normal warzone match, while im in my normal warzone match, does that mean my team has to wait for BOTH of us, who are in diffrent normal warzones to be completed before doing our ranked match? Or do you get the ranked pop up while in a normal game? I see my friends getting irritated having to wait for me to finish my game, thus forcing me to leave the normal game. I dont think this sounds like a very good Idea. I would love some more facts on this topic in exactly how it would work.

14 days till my sub is up. I'm not very optimistic atm.

Are you considering full WH gear w/ cunning / endurence augment? Don't forget power has Diminishing Return where cunning does not. Eventually power starts to become less usefull, especially if your WH gear gives you enough power.

Yea i dont PvE so I wouldnt know. How often are you being inturrupted casting Kolto Pack, or UWM after poping your relic?

have you ever tried the +72 cunning matrix cube as apose to alacrity?

Boy have I been waiting for you to chime in on this subject! I ALMOST sent you a personal tell asking you to give your blessing However this now begs the question, Personally what Relics do you like to use and why?

I had a 5 paragraph response typed up but my browser timed out and i dont fee like retyping it. So I just want to know one question. DO you play a scoundrel? Or is most of your experience from teaming w/ a scoundrel? Also i would love to discuss this with you in person via skype or something because It's getting exhausting typing this much. Plane and simple UWM should not be used as much as you say it should, it may be our biggest Single target heal, but its the MOST situational ability that we have. Not to mentioned that you posted a hard number of 6k per heal, which we all know is in fact a critical hit and not the AVERAGE number you're going to get for UWM cast. The Average is far lower then that. 12% of a 1.8 second cast is only .216 seconds, which is NOTHING. If you're sitting around free casting UWM in Pre or Pug then i wish i was on your server, we would be gods.

For the sake of argument I disagree. As a SCOUNDREL healer our main heals come from instant casts, Hots, and AOE HoTs. Which of those abilities benefit from alacrity? None. Shaving a .1 or even .2 of a second off of a cast is not make or break for a scoundrel healer. The passive healing bonus that you get from 1800 cunning is going to benefit you ALL match long, and the damage reduction that you get from 50 expertise is worth the sacrifice for the cunning bonus. Matrix cubes are VERY temporary buff, on a relatively long cool down, Cunning is something that lasts all game long and when at 1800+ gives you MUCH more bang for your buck. As a matter of fact the healing Bonus from expertise (in PvP) is a smaller % increase then the +72 cunning gained. Sure you’re giving up some survivability as well, but what scoundrel healer if played correctly his having a tough time staying alive? If you are FOCUS fired by a decent team, you’re going to die w/ or w/o the additional 50 expertise, as a last ditch effort before I die, I would like to give as many ppl a HoT, or Area HoT before I die which benefits from my “passive cunning” even if I’m dead. As far as endurance goes, it’s just a byproduct of the cunning augment, not really the primary stat I’m going for. Although a larger health pool does help. I can appreciate that people play them different, but for argument sake, with my Premade consisting of a very good guardian that plays well w/ my scoundrel the -50 expertise I’m losing and the HUGE buff to cunning I’m gaining is WELL worth it. If a scoundrel healer is using the abilities that benefit from alacrity more than 15% of an warzone (UWM, Kolto Pack) then they are doing something very very wrong. Expertise > Cunning > ALL stats > Alacrity. Disclaimer: All comments above are of personal opinion and come from tons and tons of play testing / discussion with other very good scoundrel healers, on both my server and other servers.

I use the red red red matrix cube combo for +72 cunning. Which w/ meds and full wh augmented w/ cunning/endurence can get endurance up over 1800

This^

for 60$ i have been playing starcraft 2 for nearly two years. Love that game

I really really enjoy the mechanics of this map. As a healer it allows me to put my AOE HoTs and while everyone is topped off try to cap the node secretly. I love it.

I have high hopes for this game, as a casual gamer i'm trying to be patient, hope ew have something to cling on too soon. I'm having a really hard time convincing my friends to stick around.

I'm giving you a hard time, i look forward to your next video. Would love to see some team play. Even as a full 31 spec healer i can still solo kill (slowly) alot of specs.

LOL i saw this video yesterday,.... ...On IGN. Day late pal

./sign

sheesh, better win % then I, so where did you put your extra 41 points? I like what you did with the first 0 points, it makes perfect sense for the spec and team group play you're going for, i just dont know where to put the rest of my points.

I stopped here, these kids need to find a new term, "terribad" is a horrible term. Since when did the words terrible, or bad lose their meaning?

I didn't say you were useless, merely showing that from your own video it’s a lot of solo killing, which is really fun to see in a video, but not fun to see when you're team is losing a door, or a node. Oh.. and stating that your team has a 96% means nothing. Not to mention the fact that your guessing $nulls any validity to your statement, and I'll quote "my guilds A team has 'like' a 96% win percentage." (which is redundant btw) If that’s a way to validate you're spec, then my A Team has like a 97% win percentage, which makes my full heal spec 1% win better than your spec.

No scoundrel spec comes into "into their own" until lvl 40+. Hybrid, scrapper, or full healing. With that being said if you're fighing in some sort of 1v1 tournament then sure hybrid maybe the best bet, otherwise its a team spec fail.

and as you can see from whohast video, all you will be doing is 1v1'ing. Whoohooo great , in a team WZ.

Should transfers come out i may just head over to your server so i can kick you in the nuts.

I remember my first mmo

Did you read my post

This ^ Also I would argue the opposite is true against "Good" Teams hybrids are uesless. Hybrid scoundrels are not "team" spec'd scoundrels. They do very well in a 1v1 fight away from the main objectives, or in a duel. You're still not putting out a TON of burst dps, at best you're going to slowly wittle them down while you keep yourself alive with hots. But against a GOOD team where you are the only healer or even one of two healers, you're going to want KC. My kolto for example hits 4 targets and tickets for 400 and for over 750 per crit (usually crits 50% +) So out of six ticks I am getting 3450 worth of healing on 4 targets. Maybe you're not seeing the benefits of KC because of your own personal stats. Scoundrel is not about burst healing (sure you can in emergecies) its more about keeping your HOTS and KC on the correct targets to keep them topped off and mitigate the damage that they are taking, scoundrels are there in the fight pretty much to negate the dmg someone is taking, not to let someone take a huge health hit and then bring them back from the dead. Hybrid specs cannot do that, and if you're putting out DPS while trying to heal, you're going to run into energy issues maybe not right away but if you throw a flying fists and back blast instead of a KC the dmg you're doing is not nearly as good as the healing potential you could be doing.
