I'm a Rogue. My random ramblings...Follow

And I feel bad.

Now that I can sneak up on you faster than you can walk, and can generate 5k HP/5 while enjoying a combined damage mitigation of around 50%, I don't see the point in being any other class.

I've been carrying a couple of good friends in 2v2 lately. They are both new 85s - one BRAND new - and I've managed more 2v1 wins than should be possible.

Now I can't play any other class.

Except maybe DK - because it's the one class that seems capable of beating me.

And the worst part is I'm bored. SO bored. Honor has become difficult for me - not to earn, but to spend. Yesterday I bought an heirloom Staff of Jordan because I literally had nothing else to spend it on - got all the mounts, the other BOA, and trade goods are just too terrible a value.

I'm just eagerly awaiting the next PvP season. It's too late this season to shoot for 2200. But MAN is it fun smoke bombing flag carriers for a quick kill :)

That's my pointless 2c.

Thinking of making a video of me pointlessly and endlessly slicing up new 85s with 90k HP. Takes less than 6 seconds.

Which leaves only one question...

What should the sound track be?

Put on some ridiculous dance/house/techno and turn it up to like 200% so that it's blasting no matter what volume people have it on.

If you're making a ridiculous PvP video, you need ridiculous annoying music.

Hmmm ... Annoying beats at 200% level sounds good ... maybe 200% speed also, so it sounds even more awesome.

I think Tol Barad is the perfect venue to get my footage. It's always full of new 85s and people silly enough to do quests in a PvP zone without PvP gear (of even a trinket) equipped.

My personal favorite for PvP.
Unsung
Typed out cause I cant get this to work right?

But, maybe 90's rock is hinting at my age.

Worked out better than I expected. Maybe someday I will be better at PvP than I am at forum posting.

This, repeated endlessly. Because so many people seem to like it right now.

Not gonna lie, I actually like dubstep a lot when it's appropriate for the situation I'm in.

I'm more into melodic and power metal type music, so dubstep always just seemed like a lot of noise to me. I'm not going to begrudge people their taste in music, but (and I feel kind of like an old fogey saying this) I just don't understand it.

Do some drugs, you'll get dubstep pretty fast. Smiley: grin

No but seriously, I like and appreciate pretty much everything except for country and some rap, so I guess it's hard for me to understand people not liking certain genres that I do.

Kesha since many folks think she personifies obnoxious dance music. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CFWX0hWCbng

I like this song but can totally see it driving some folks batty. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zd8lP4YnQNE&feature=related

I made an important realization yesterday that will improve this soon-to-be-realized video: I don't have to hide my pink hair any more!

You see, way back in (?) 2006 I rolled this Rogue to play as a 29 twink. Those were the days when T2 raiders dominated BGs and made L60 PvP pointless and stupid for even players in blue PvP gear. I made this Rogue with pink pigtails so that I could enforce maximum humiliation on my enemies - what is worse than getting cut down by a little girl?

Well I've changed hair many times since.

When I hit 85, I was sooooo squishy. I felt like I always got targeted, and quickly killed. So I hid my hair! Then I got targeted less.

Now I don't mid being targeted at all! Better me than the healer! I can tank for a while, a lot better than most.

So the hair came back out yesterday. I chose the single large poof of hair rather than the pig tails. It's a nice change from the vicious ninja mask. Check out my armory :)

That will add some flavor to whatever music I choose!

All of this mention of pink reminds me of the singer Pink, and to quote one of her songs.

"It's just you and your hand tonight."

I <3 P!nk. That song in particular is hilarious.

Level 70 ETC - Rogues Do It From Behind
Deep Purple - Knocking At Your Back Door
Motorhead - The Chase Is Better Than The Catch
Cannibal Corpse - Evisceration Plague
Iron Maiden - Fear Of The Dark
Judas Priest - The Ripper

That should be enough to fill a video with rogueish songs. Smiley: tongue

I tried FRAPSing myself last night ... Sadly, it made my game unplayable. I'm confused because I've done it before without the terrible jittering I was getting last night. I went in for easy ganks, and although I got a few, I lost a lot of fights as I lagged around trying to coordinate backstabs and ambushes on laggy targets :(

Strange how my PC feels less powerful than it did a year ago.

You could try turning your settings down a smidge while you faps fraps. It won't make for the best quality video but it could help.

As Hyolith said, I'd turn down your max FPS on Fraps to 30 when it's recording. It won't be the next platinum hit on WCM, but it'll be good enough.

Also, reducing your resolution size (I used to play with a massive 1920x1200 display which made Fraps **** the bed) may help.
