Swifty's First Gladiator ;)

After years of gaining synergy together playing every PvP season together since the start of warlords of draenor Swifty has finally went from the undisputed r1 duelist to a first time gladiator. We played Protection warrior, mistweaver monk, assassination rogue also known as Ninja Turtle Cleave. We peaked rating at about 2650CR/ 2750 mmr and we were way pass the 2400 rated gladiator cut. I would like to give a special thanks to my brothers JB and Binkie for helping Swifty complete this great achievement! Also big thanks to Memphisrains this couldnt have been done without the guidance of the multi R1 prot warrior legend thx for giving Swifty your secrets of the arena <3

Prot warrior? Is this a joke? Do you have a stream or YouTube channel I can follow? (If you’re a prominent streamer, I mean no disrespect. I legit don’t do the whole twitch and YouTube thing outside of a couple friends and videos on how to change my brake pads.)

But yeah, I’d love to see some prot warrior builds that are effective. I never even attempted because I thought I’d be rage starved after my first ignore pain.

I mainly youtube right now (youtube.com/roguextv) I will be uploading videos of Swiftys 2700+ mmr wins in 3v3 arena and his final gladiator win soon!

Give my sincere congrats to Swifty. It’s great seeing someone even older than me get glad. I hear he’s a fellow Flor-idiot as well.

theres something to be said about swifty getting his gladiator as protection. i always remember him as the prot war

Can’t remember but I believe when he first started breaking out on Warcraftmovies they were all Prot warrior videos.

His first line of movies on his youtube channel are all prot so I think I’m remembering correctly, unless he had even earlier stuff he never re-uploaded.

Swifty’s first videos were fury PvP videos in vanilla, which was pioneering - Mortal Strike was everything back then.
