will the resilience changes hurt the frost/mutilate synergy and will we see rogues running shs or even combat to try and get around the loss of crit damage?

With the buff to shamans and the non dmg nerfs to Dot classes, do you see Shadowplay being viable again.

I have a question for Affix directly; I've been hearing a lot of rumors about this and I want to get to the bottom of the conspiracy.

Those "in the know" claim that Affix' livestreams - and thus, the foundation upon which his e-fame is built - are actually played by ComPlexity's Venruki, for pretty ridiculous sums of money. Is there any truth to these rumors? Also, a robot named Livestream said it was true also.

Thanks!

what do you guys think of the changes comming to ruins of lordaeron:
* Alcoves have been removed from the starting chambers.
* Two line-of-sight tombstones have been added to the slime pool on the southern side of the map.
* The collision around the central tomb has been smoothed out to prevent players from becoming stuck on the terrain as often.

and the changes to Dalaran sewers:
* The entire Arena has increased in size by 25%.
* Mounts can now be used in this Arena.
* The position and collision of the crates on the central platform has been modified.

And do you think that these changes will make these maps favor certain comps?

Is this going to be streamed on ESL TV's premium stream also or only that tiny stream on the regional finals site? The ESL premium stream is just looping a broadcasting schedule for next week

I got a question for didy, do you like the BC arena or WOTLK arena better. Like, mana battles or a less room for error arena match?

With the current dominance of RLS, RMP, and Cleave, clearly these two types of teams are ruling arena. The incredibly burst heavy RLS, RMP, and then the overpowering cleave. With the changes next patch, do you think any other types of teams will show up? Possibly some double casters?

Will RMP be the best comp?

What do you guys think of the new battleground experience?

# Battleground experience has arrived!

* Players will now be awarded experience for completing objectives and actions that yield honor in Battlegrounds (honorable kills not included).
* Players who do not wish to gain experience through PvP can visit Behsten in Stormwind or Slahtz in Orgrimmar - both located near the Battlemasters in either city - and turn off all experience accumulation for the cost of 10 gold.
* Disabling experience gains will prevent a player from gaining experience through any means available in the game.
* Players with experience gains turned off who compete in Battlegrounds will face off only against other players with experience gains turned off.
* Behsten and Slahtz can reinstate experience gains for players, for a 10 gold fee of course. Any experience that would've been accumulated if experience gains were enabled cannot be recovered.

Discuss RLS vs RMP in its current state and how it will change in the patch. Seeing that RLS seemed unviable last MGL, do you think it was the teams or the comp that lead to its failure on LAN.

What do you guys think of the recent comp Prot War/Prot Pally That hit #1 on BG9 Recently and their playstyle. I'm sure many people have seen this video it is one of the biggest videos on Warcraftmovies particularly because the paladin clicks 90% of his spells and plays really bad

QUESTION FOR YOU ALL



Should The Ring of Valor be changed, or just removed entirely?

What are your thoughts on the current state of hunters in arena? EMG of course did well, but they "had" to sell out to BM to do it - the more "skillful" specs, like marks, don't seem very represented.

What do hunters need to be viable?

Are there any successful hunters (other than twixz) on BG9, Rampage, or Stormstrike (seemingly the best BGs), and how do you think they do it?

What is the most skilled comp? Why do you think RMP's are always at these events? What class is the hardest to play right now?

@Affix, how do/did you hold a 2600+ rating playing balance druid/mage on live? Isn't that the most frustrating thing ever?

Edit: Noticed he left :( Has anyone played against his team? How did they/you play? Who won?

Ah yea, but a real question. Didy mentioned on vent that RLS has some similarities to RMP. With regards to how you set up burst: do you think your overall cuteness allows you to line up your perfect burst opportunities because your opponents are blinded by your sheer sexuality, or do you find yourself lost in your own masculinity? I can understand why it would be the latter. I'd have a hard time not indulging myself in hardcore narcissism if I were him. I'm looking for a real response here.

Didy used to play slower comps (or maybe it was the nature of TBC) back in earlier seasons. I was wondering, did he wear them down with his beauty, or was it his athletism that allowed him to endure such strenuous situations?

What is the weakest healer right now? What do you think of enhance shams?

Holyplay was a term originally coined by players who were decimated by Didy. It was because they felt an angel came down from the heavens to destroy them. It was more a term of endearment than anything. It was meant with no disrespect, it was only a term to pay their homage to such a godlike creature.

compared to 70, how awful does the game have to be that 2v2 was removed from counting, showing that blizzard cant even properly balance their own game?

Also, Is handbag widely viewed as "xahlior" - the tunnel visioning pve warrior hero. or something more?

Last question, Didy are you a crackhead?

I've answered #38, please refer to #41.

What do you think of enhance shams in 3.2*

Does it sometimes sadden you guys when you see a ripped guy on the streets like me? I understand that WoW is a very strenuous activity, and I was wondering how you feel about the severe stress that your body undergoes due to this lifestyle.

The reason I am wondering is because I am pretty tempted to become a WoW celebrity and arena icon, but I have a high amount respect for my body and my fighting abilities. Should I expect to suffer in these two areas if I decide to pursue a career in World of Warcraft?
