In summary, Grip/froz/phar got 97.4% of the kills, while the rest of us fought to see who would take the longest to die.

Day 2

Same as day 1, day 2 was nice. 3 hours of non stop PvP.

Maxicek - Fireball sorc
Maxicek - Ghost
Nagisa - Trapper
Nagisa - Fireball sorc
Grip - Berserker
Grip - Zealchantress
Fabian (yes, THE Fabian!) - MB Bonemancer
Pharphis - FoHphis
Mir - Charge/Smite
Mir - walking Trapper
Froz - Replenishadin
Nulio - Trapper

What to say. Welcome back to PvP, Fabian. He immediately owned everything, winning most FFA matches. He was nearly untouchable. But, it was always like that whenever master joined PvP! Pharphis did quite good, scoring good amount of kills with his new fresh loladin. Nulio has big lag issues so he didn't play long.

Fabian's winning streak fell when firesorcs joined the party, they stopped him from killing everything. Playing field was quite strong: 2 firesorcs, bonemancer, trapper and zerker. Pharphis afk-ed so the rest of us played. We were surprised to see Froz join, but we were glad at the same time. Finally someone to stop Fabian! Not really though, but matches were fine even though he played without both rings and boots (I would say he tried to mimic hobits, but then again hobits were lords of the ring, so doesn't fit quite well I guess). Max won several FFA matches with his quite tanky ghost. I couldn't do anything to him with Zealchantress unless he was superlow on life so that even pulse from dreams can kill him.

That is pretty much it. Made a short video of day 2. There was too much material, so I put only highlights in there to make video shorter. I noticed I forgot to skill Thunder Storm on sorc, will redo her again to add that skill. Made like 5-6 kills just with pulse dmg, so I guess additional damage is nice to have.

My god, there was one point in the video where it actually looked like I was playing OK with the Fire Sorc. Must be flattering editing, thanks Grip!

Day 3. Or was it day 4?
First day where there were no many players around. I don't recall exactly who played, but will write something according to my memory.

Maxicek - Ghost
Maxicek - Bowazon
Froz - Javazon
Froz - Bonenec
Pharphis - FoHphis
Grip - Fire druid
Grip - Orbitaller sorc
Grip - Fuzzydodger

FFA started with Ghost, Javazon, FoHphis and Fire druid. It was basically Froz trying to survive against all of us since he seemed like hardest target out there to kill. FoHphis charged around a lot, which made my job easier to plant Fissure for a damage. Fissure worked well against Ghost too, but not against Froz. It was teleport + plant Volcano + hope that Armaggedon hit playing from my side against him. Sometimes it worked, sometimes not. Best bet was to hope to FoHphis or Ghost to kill that Javazon.

FoHphis got several epic kills and decided to quit while on top, I rejoined with Fuzzy for some lulz. And it was lulz. Ghost basically couldn't land a hit on me, and it took 2 rows of potion for Froz to kill me, and I couldn't hurt him at all. That Fuzzy is hell boring character to play, especially cause of prebuff needs. Ok, maybe not that boring to play, but it stalls match too much causing other players to wait outside battle before you die. Whats the point in battling for several minutes if you basically already know the final score? For trolling char is great, I admit it. Hey, let's battle for 5 mins so that others must wait outside etc.

Froz commanded to join with "real" character, so I swapped to Orbitaller sorc. Max came with Bowa, froz with his OPbonenec. Bowa was most desired target out there since none of us had block. Master Froz usually took care of Max, and then killed me as well. That was pretty much it for the rest of the night. GGwp, sleep well.

2 days ago it said "Unable to Join Game"... Yesterday I didn't get around to trying to join until the game was already down (I think)

Day 4:

Man, those people making me do this.

Anyway, day four was in mark of assassins since for all time there was 3:1 ratio of assassins vs non assassins in moor. We lost some players, phar didn't show up etc.

frozzzen - smite/hammer paladin
frozzzen - lf/cs zon
horseheadnebula - c/c trapper
Grip - kicker
Maxicek - w/s trapper

Since I was late for start I don't know how matches went, but I can presume grip's kicker dominated initial rounds. Fortunetely, I joined with hammer/smite paladin that has generally very, very favorable matchup vs kickers to quiet him down a bit.

Result was distaster. I was always bad with paladins but i didn't know it's to this extent. Also it seems that character is built horribly since I lost in kick vs smite exchange with grip multiple times. And paladin vs trapper is ugly matchup in general where I had no real chance, especially when there's 3 assassins and their shadow masters blasting mindblast all day long. Wisp didn't help either. Char is built rater nicely defensively but has zero dmg.
Will probably be scraped and remade into some other paladin variant.

I joined with my LF/CS zon and now I could actually land kill. Amazons generally struggle a bit vs most assassins variants but she did fine for the most part. At first I died a lot to traps and generally had too little life to keep up with ffa. I switched lidless switch for 65 allress shield so I could use WSG clearly and it helped a lot. Changing playstyle from rushing assassins to pelting them with LF throws was successful strategy and waiting for errors to land damaging charged strikes/farcast them also got me couple nice kills.
Overall my gameplay with her increased a lot, but losing with smiter to kicker...


...losing with smiter to kicker...
