Harmlesspuppy aka Billsimmons ... How do you do it?
Man, How in the world have you ranked so fast? I'm a 5 year warg (minus a 2 year hiatus) and I'm only R10. I would have been R12 maybe 13 if I would have hung around those 2 lost years.
You're a R9, only 35k from R10, and you got there in 1 month!!! Do you sleep at all?
You're Bestial claws must be very long and vicious!
Re: Harmlesspuppy aka Billsimmons ... How do you do it?
He plays regularly, is pretty good at what he does, and chooses his fights carefully. I think that is pretty much all it takes to win. He doesn't mind soloing and he doesn't mind following/joining the zerg. I am a little disappointed that more wargs don't spend time away from keeps/other creeps. They would make a little more infamy I think.
And no, this wasn't a jab at anyone but rather an observation of the previous month (years) of pvp.

Your mini is a decent rank but if you were starting over could you get your Mini up to R9 in that short of time (I mean since you're assuming wargs are OP and we KNOW mini's are)?

I do alot of Solo'ing in the moors and there isn't a reason to hug the keeps as far as a warg is concerned.
On another note and to clear the air, I'm really boggled at the speed he's ranked so fast! No hidden agenda or questioning, I really want to know, because I want to rank faster.
So many wargs are so much better than I am and how I learned to play is from the higher ranked wargs or long time played wargs, i.e. Afters, Rax, Feel, Joyk, Zazel-1, Snark, Predator, Zigzha, etc.
Re: Harmlesspuppy aka Billsimmons ... How do you do it?
He plays a lot, and hangs in the same areas as me often. Warg is a very strong class right now (some might say OP). He is also very aggressive. Combine those things with being a very good player who is not new to the game, and you get the results he does. No offense to you Chumbo, but I've watched you both fight, and he's a better warg. In fact, he's one of the top wargs I've ever seen. There's your answer.

Griz absolutely no offense taken! That's the very reason I started this thread. Yes, he's a better warg... hands down.
I've traited, traited and re-traited constantly and I still come up short. Not sure what I'm doing wrong but I'll post a pic of ALL my traits later today or tomorrow when I log in.

By the way, enjoying the 1v1's with Rubicon!
I haven't played Raae for a while now ever since Minnies are god mode. It's too easy, really. As for ranking up that fast in todays moors, yes I believe I could do it on a self healing tactical class.
Great 1v1's too Porky! I hope to get my 5th audacity and put up a better fight soon.
Re: Harmlesspuppy aka Billsimmons ... How do you do it?
IF you get ganked by bill repeatedly at gv you deserve to get ganked by bill at gv . With that said bill is a well rounded player that knows the minstrel inside and out which makes it a challenge for minstrels. He also knows where to go for food;P.
If they bring the food to you why go anywhere else.
Bills a skilled player in general.

Re: Harmlesspuppy aka Billsimmons ... How do you do it?
Wargs might be OP? wut
Shadow Stance > Bestial claws > maul > Rend Flesh its basically all they have to do now to win really, most of shadow stance skills rip through bpe add to that DoF pots and how buggy they are atm, ie time to time the immunity they get for slows and or the stun pots that also seem to be bugged aswell giving an immunity longer than the actual pot
Flayer, takes more to learn but same still ordeal, plus you get a heal everytime and the debuffs you can run with that stance are pretty out there.
pretty much going from fotm mini to fotm warg same deal, pretty much im hating the moors atm cause of the ammount of wargs, ba's, spiders,mini's out there that all of the sudden appeared. Plus the ammount of lag hiccups skill lags im getting on my part (not sure if its only me, but heard of more ppl telling me they been getting the same thing).
Re: Harmlesspuppy aka Billsimmons ... How do you do it?
As i have said in other thread i caught this warg farming 1 freep-unfortunately i wasnt able to take a screenshot or even better record this so you have the right to call me lier...but we know what is the truth. I wonder how you pay your kin/friend for farming him so much;

I can guarantee you that he doesn't farm any of his kin (actually quite the opposite, usually won't attack anyone in his kin). The fact that you accuse him of this is just a pure act of jealousy and ignorance.
Re: Harmlesspuppy aka Billsimmons ... How do you do it?
Pffffffffffft! You guys have it all wrong. Skill? Experience? Those don't mean anything without a good name! "Harmlesspuppy"? Now there is something to be terrified of! lrn2 succeed noobs.

...and as i said you have the right for it...i didnt record it and didnt take any screenshot so accept the ''liar'' word ! But the truth is hard to say i guess...Bill wont admit it as he doesnt admit that he is a coward minstrel/godmode . Its funny seeing ppl consider that he is skillfull player , i loled when i read that !

aww a thread about Bill. You're absolutely accurate about Bill. He's persistent, studies his class well and aims to be the best. He is super competitive and knows what it takes to gain infamy. He solo's whenever he has the chance and camps gv. I wish I was as diligent as him. In any case, he's one of the best mini's(if not the best) imo on this server on freepside and he's the best warg I've seen thus far climb ranks so quickly. This one knows his skills and he knows them well. <3<3 Bill

I must have missed the memo that wardens could tank t2 raids without blowing NS for every fight or without using masteries which have been called unnecessary and a crutch (in so many words) by some blue names.
Unless you were talking about the moors in which case freeps>creeps predates Orion's changes, doesn't it?

You need to tell some of your wargy friends that. I have seen a lot of wargs (including some that you listed) hug keeps or hips off to return with a zerg. I have had wargs run into the quest room of TA. I have had wargs fight me then disappear for 10 minutes while they waited for CDs. Anyways come to CM Chumbo! I miss fighting you!

Likewise! I've specifically looked for you many times on CM but I don't think we're online the same time very often and if we are it's usually raiding time or Keep flipping time for either side in the Moor's.
Also, the fight clubs that are popping up at 3 hump, GTA, etc will not last long since several on either side will interupt (which is fair since it's not on CM).

It's so off base from what I wanted this thread to be. Harmlesspuppy/Billsimmons, I've already sent you a PM... I think I'll keep our correspondence that way so we don't have something lost in the intense amounts of text!
Re: Harmlesspuppy aka Billsimmons ... How do you do it?
Just based on my experience in the last month..
The fact that wargs have relatively few skills allowed me to build up a workable rotation quickly. As I ranked up it was just a matter of building one skill at a time into the rotation. The average freep have more tools at their disposal, which results in a steeper learning curve but also a higher ceiling. The vast majority of freeps however don't really put in the effort to maximize the potential of their class which allows the standard warg like myself to take advantage*.
*This discounts the minstrel which doesn't require too much skill to do well at the moment.
As to what I do? Rez camping/1v1s/picking off players in group fights get me anywhere between 2.5k-4k infamy an hour.

I don't PvE, so I'd never refer to it. And class hierarchy is pretty glaring and obvious, since every class Orion's touched (wargs included) stand a head above the rest.
