The stigma against twinking never warranted this

As someone who’s twinked almost every bracket, I highly doubt you could do that. Even as a moonkin spamming starfall with moon fire and sunfire on a whole team that’s not possible and un-arguably way more damage.

Great, twink players can roth in their queue.

I’m very efficient, killing other players is a nuisance to me, not a challenge, and for years I’ve pass the point of 2 shotting this guy here and there, and have since moved to “how many can I kill at the same time”

I’ve gotten good at it, because I know how to play my class, and I play it very well, and using tactics I’ve acquired from dps checks in Mythic raiding has only furthered this.

So yes, I can do it, and in a matter of seconds.

And I agree that this is an obscene abuse of power, which is why, despite having 15+ twinks across the 60, 70, and 80 brackets, I advocate for BG templates, so we can re merge xp off.

I would rather play fair, then not at all, and it’s a damn shame people avoid this middle ground like the plague.

And to give you a secret.

Frost nova.

Cone of cold.

Oh hey reset cd time.

Cone of cold while 400% buff remains.

Ice nova

Cone of cold.

That’s upwards of 10k damage in aoe.

That’s almost 3k dps per second per target.

All it takes, is a little knowing your class, and the right timing, and you can clear a field.

I call BS, It’s not hard to learn how to play a class and popping your swifty macro on CD doesn’t mean anything. Unless you have proof, I don’t believe you.
Twinks are strong and no doubt you could probably even get them low / kill quite a few, but there’s no way you could take out a whole team by yourself.

1293

Quite frankly I don’t care what you believe, less people that understand how to pull it off the better, it just means you’re included in my cannon fodder.

1294

Been playing since vanilla leveling alts and actively BGing and twinking in every bracket. Never seen this or anything close. You’re a liar imo. :man_shrugging:

1295

Ok /10char

1296

Even during MoP with MoP BoE’s where twinking was probably the strongest it had ever been I don’t think that’d be possible.

1297

I guess you’ve never met a sub rogue during cata at 60.

Complete destruction of an enemy has always been a thing, you just need to know what abilities to abuse to make it happen.

I know which abilities to abuse, and have the skill set to make it happen. You don’t, and it’s ok.

1298

Once again twinks are strong, I’ve gotten 80 KBs before in one arathi match. To pretend twinking or classes are hard to learn when you’re a twink is a joke. You’re not special, you’re just BSing. :man_shrugging:

Sure you can kill the whole team eventually, but all by yourself all at once is a lie. You’re pretending every class doesn’t have an instant CC and It’s a joke.

1299

Someday I won’t have to post these anymore, until then though, twinks shouldn’t be allowed in the XP on queue.

Nobody said it was hard. Doing what me and a few others do isn’t hard, but a lot of you seem to settle for mediocre gameplay, why be a king of the battleground, when you can be the god of one.

We’ve got warriors cleaving down people as arms in 2 shots.

2 shots, 2 kills, repeat.

I’ve seen intel Stacked destro locks absolutely obliterating a team with havoc.

Hell I’ve seen an ele shaman rinse a team by using all crit with bloodlust up.

You ever seen a Sith Lord? Yeah.

You’ll get the hang of it, or you won’t, cannon fodder.

Havoc has a 30 second cool down and lets you kill 2 people, that’s not possible to solo 15 players at once by yourself. Killing a whole team isn’t hard when you’re not being targeted by all 15, but claiming that an entire enemy team is fighting against JUST you and you’re the sole focus and you kill them all is a blatant lie. :roll_eyes:

I think what you do is just sit outside a big fight and spam AoE, that’s not hard at all. Anyone can do that as a twink and wrack up killing blows and pretend they’re the best player in the world.

I mean honestly I can’t think of a time I’ve ever lost a team fight on a twink outside of the enemy having more twinks than we do or something.

1302

Lemme explain how this works.

You first, ensure you aren’t the focus, because if you burst while focused you are pretty stupid and setting yourself up for failure.

Second, you cataclysm 3 or more targets.

Next, you havoc the healer, that defaults pressurized them.

Now you just nuke cast chaos bolts (CDs required) the dps.

By the end of havoc, you should, have 3 players dead, by this point you pick off whoever is left with the healer CC.

Now this can be done in a few ways, I’m more of the 1 shot one kill type, and aim for the weak targets.

The mage, is different, while yes you do focus kills, it’s blatant obscene abuse of cone of cold can quite literally, kill anybody you aim at, and in the right circumstances, if the team is clumped enough, will kill all of them.

1303

So this whole point is null and void because the whole point I made is you can’t solo an entire enemy team (15 people) and AoE them all down at once by yourself.

Yeah, no duh you can kill a whole team. That’s not hard at all. I do that on the daily on every twink I’ve ever had. :roll_eyes:

1304

Listen, my cannon fodder pal, you need to get a with the program.

Step up your game bud.

1305

A frost mage, can quite literally aoe an entire team down simultaneously if that enemy is clumped for more then 3 seconds.

I’ve given the instructions on how to do it.

:eggplant:

1306

lol acting like you’re good because you can do what literally every twink can do. :roll_eyes:

Look at me, I can burst through 2+ healers at once

1307

Apparently not all can judging by our cannon fodder friend here.

I’ve said it’s quite easy to do, but this poor feller just can’t quite grasp it :confused:
