RPS Comp Commentary/Overview

Shadowpriest POV. Used to make skillcapped vids back in the day and this is the kind of thing I would do. I’m by no means great at pvp but making these videos has helped me improve in the past and might help others too.

Good vid bro

Nice video, rps is my fav comp when I log my priest.

Just wondered, you are going stun all the time? And do you all the time try to stun/fear/silence or just try to put a pressure and dropping one cc just to get something?

Don’t think you play stun all the time. Short silence vs some melee heavy comps which are prone to locking you down with a plethora of interrupts/stuns/heavy slows can be very useful. One of the advantages when playing with a rogue if you decide to take short silence is lining up your silences with almost every other kidney to add more value on execution attemps.

yes i often try to put a pressure that’s exactly right. goat nailed it, you don’t play stun every game. I play it vs mage lock always and destro melee x

Ho really?

I mean you don’t go stun all the time as rps only?
Because when I watch wizk I wondered why he went all the time short silence, because you loose one cc and I feel like you don’t have time to get a pressure.

its really situational and depends on playstyle however you want to get a pressure.
wiz plays short silence because that suits his playstyle (doing insane damage and rotting the enemy team as much as possible). I’m not as good at doing damage and staying aggressive all the time so I opt for stun vs most warlock teams to try to win with longer cc chains. if you play with a lock play stun every game, and if you play with a hunter use mind bomb every game

really good vid

Great video, more!

A lot more interesting than mongo destro videos were 90% is fear/bolt spam.

Do you stream on twitch btw?

I can’t stream until I get my internet upgraded but as of August 1st I’ll be able to stream - twitch.tv/friendlypvpguy

Awesome video, really informative. Definitely make more please
Any feedback on how rpx feels with a holy pal this season?

haven’t played it too much but I think it would be stronger into melee teams but worse into mage lock x. If you play with a pal you could run mind bomb + rep for insane CC chains. I think sham is better for the comp just because they offer more passive healing compared to hpals. Even when my healer gets cc’d I still have riptide/earthshield helping me out (if not earthern wall). When pally’s get cc’d with no outs (lol) I just feel like I’m dead

awesome vid,Very informative,but im curious how u do agaisnt rmx since theres no rmx in the vid.

we do very well against rmpriest but a good rmpala feels pretty hard. they tend to just train the rogue down and kill him in like the 4th kidney. mage doesn’t even have to land a sheep because they win with ineffable hpal hoj+blind. If I play very well with juking kicks and getting the right MD off, we tend to win. I think if my rogue partner played with a tank trinket and slightly more vers it would be favored for the RPS (it used to be in previous seasons).

1 example vs rmpriest where we made mistakes and still won

at the end of the first vid when you say the silence nullifies vital u mean that the monk won’t get healed from vital while silenced? even if he uses it b4 the silence?

precisely, shadow priest silence (and garrote/solarbeam) have a weird effect on vitality. If you press silence on a healer after they use vitality it won’t do anything. Not sure if this is intended but it’s pretty awesome considering vitality is so strong and such a short cd

wow that’s pretty insane had no idea
