Figured since I left a comment I should actually watch more than the first 30 seconds, so:

1. Everything that this player did could be negated by 1 bard's group heals.

2. Great footwork, rarely saw a position where you were in danger.

3. About halfway through reiterates my first point, all the defiant were ignoring you because you were no threat to anyone with ~150dps; at that level my pvp build with 0 macros could sustain over 1,000dps.

@gtngcos your shaman build or your warrior/rogue build? Please share your sustained 1K DPS shaman build if so, I find that 'impossible' to believe at level 34, but I would love to be proven wrong. Honestly shaman is a one trick pony, every 90 seconds we can do some nice burst dmg an then we are just an annoyance and not a threat. That's actually besides the point. I know warriors that use only I button macro and perform amazingly well. Melee simply allows itself to be a 1 button wonder.

The perfect example of why reliance on macros is a handicap, and why I win 30 out of 30 matches against people like this. It's easy, sure, but when you come across someone that actually knows what abilities they are using and why they are using them, you will fail 100% of the time. GG

@gtngcos which part of the video was there a 'handicap' for using the macros. It's also easy to setup your 'regular macro masher button' and your 'face melting macro masher'. Bottom line is, you will still be executing 5+ moves with a single button.

The quality is pretty freakin amazing dude, I can never record @ this quality. What program do you use, FRAPS? If so, how do you have your recording options set at?

[megaguzaB]

@Volaju16

FRAPS recording at full size at 30FPS (1680 x 1050). I use sony vegas. KEY thing is that you "project" resolution matches your FRAPS footage resolution. Then simply 'render as' HD video at 1920 x 1080. Windows Media FULL HD setting works well and it's easy, even tho I use XVID.

What are you using to display your ability cooldowns on the screen like that?

[beaf01]

Macro's cause the same issue that they always cause, the ability to do alot of damage by spamming on key. That's the world of macro's, thus why I never use them. I won't bash your video because it wasn't bad and i won't bash your logic, because any MMO can be pretty much simplified by just mashing a macro but it is your choice to make it that simplified and boring.

@gtngcos I smell buullsht, no way you can sustain 1k dps at that lvl lol

[Tyrlidor]

that "s" key is getting a lot of use in this video. Thats not good.
