    Re: Looking Ahead to Vegas

    Ji'lan and Frostmane because of the race synergy.

    Champion Shadowsun and Kaelthas for the same reason.

    Ditto for Rethligore and, well... whomever gets the lycanthropy buff.

    just sayin

    A couple of points I question here:

    1) you're already playing wrath of air? How does that work? If you're playing boots + soulseeker, how are you playing wrath of air? And if you're not playing Soulseeker...you probably should be!

    2) I think it's very hard to make the case that having Arcane Flux on Tazo or Vashj is more powerful than having Mark of the Wild on Vashj.

    3) You're obviously right on a few points, such as the power of the tick up flamestrike, Morova's short range and the dangers of the triangle formation. But the Morova team has it's own advantages, such as being 3 honor less (with no boots), and not having one character (Tazo) that's a breeze to kill. Even with Bulwark, it matters - AOE's can kill Tazo in a heartbeat, whereas Morova isn't a weak link.

    All that being said, I don't know which variant is better - I didn't say I thought Vashj + Morova was best; just that it was obvious and will be common.
    I also like Morova's Starburst with Savin (T1 for 2 M4 attacks).  Because of armor, you can afford to form a wall with Savin and Morova and dance in and out of adjacency with Vashj, thus making it more difficult for an AoE to ever actually hit Vashj (please note that I didn't say impossible).

    Kael'thas/Thangal/Hodoon (or Savin, if you like) will match up very powerfully against a line strategy with Ta'zo, but the wall strategy usable with Morova will make it more difficult to draw Vashj into the KTFS attack while also providing an overall higher durability for the team.

    And as already pointed out, you would be playing a lower honor party which strikes me as agreeable, since 3x Mortimers isn't going to be around to push the 12-14 honor parties out of the meta.

    I wanted to give everyone a list of all the trustworthy people who traded with me on this site, but it exceeds maximum character length. To me, that's a hopeful sign.

    Re: Looking Ahead to Vegas

    one of my considereations for somthing very potent is Rexxar, Savin, Goblin Shredder

    Rexxar - Misha, Misdirection

    Savin - Bulwark, Flash of Light

    Goblin Shredder - Silk Bandage, Fog of War

    Rexxar attacking every tick and only growing in strength extremely fast seems pretty deadly to me

    i lack the Savin figure though! =(
