Episode 1 Opponents

  • Opponent 1 - Male Human Warrior (rank 14); This warrior reacts very fast. Mute opens with cheapshot and puts a rend on the warrior then vanishes. This prevents the warrior from bandaging and lowers his health. The warrior takes off on his mount and dismounts out of range. He switches to battle stance and uses a free action potion. This should be guaranteed death for most rogues. Let alone a rogue with no armor or weapons. Mute follows him out of range of shouts. The warrior is now down to 80% and has zero rage to show for it. Mute opens on him with a cheapshot, not knowing that he had used a free action potion. The warrior switches to berserker stance. Mute blinds him. Then Mute restealths and hits him with a sinister strike for points. The warrior now switches back to battle stance. Mute is careful to stay out of range of his attacks, but too close for intercept. The warrior switches back to berserker. Mute cheapshots into a 5 pt cb eviscerate. And blinds again. The warrior is now at 25% health. He has had no chances for intercept or overpower, and he has very little rage.

    Mute now saps him. Why is he sapped? Should he waste his berserker rage on sap? Who in the hell saps in combat? No one. No rogues use sap in combat. Not ever. What is the purpose. Mute has the warrior sapped to let his rage decay and his own diminishing returns reset. This is not a strategy this or any warrior would expect, because it was never used before Mute. Mute evasions in case the sap breaks. He is able to stealth just as the warrior is leaving sap and he cheap shots again, now with his diminishing returns reset. Mute eviscerates into a kidney shot. And that is the end of the fight. The warrior lost the same way every other warrior did afterwards. This warrior had no chance to win. He never had any opportunity to shout Mute out of stealth. He had no chance overpower. If had known to break sap he could have, but who would expect a rogue to sap in combat?

  • Opponent 6 - Male Human Warrior (rank 13); Same strategy as before. Cheapshot into rupture. This takes the warrior down to 60% without giving him any rage, and prevents bandage. Cheapshot into cold blood eviscerate followed by blind. He's now at 30% health. And has maybe 20 rage. Saps to reset diminishing returns and decay his rage. Another cheapshot eviscerate into a blind. He's now at 10% health. Another sap, only he breaks this time with berserker rage. Mute is out of range until he stealths. Cheapshot and eviscerate don't quite finish him, so another vanish into another cheapshot eviscerate.

  • Opponent 16 - Female Gnome Mage (rank 14); This is a very nice fight. Mute opens with improved kick and takes the mage down to 65% before they frost novas and blink. Look at the timing on the blind. Mute blinds the mage instantly as they blink. Frost nova ends before blind, and Mute is able to bring the mage down to 20% before they blink again. They cast ice shield as Mute catches them. They then iceblock. Mute attempts to kick them as they come out of iceblock, but the global cooldown from sinsiter strike prevents him from silencing before the frost nova. Mute shoots them with his bow which nearly finishes them. They try to polymorph to bandage the damage from the aoes brings him out too soon, and Mute is able to interrupt their bandage with another ranged attack. That's it for them, they are dead.

  • Out of 38 fights, 13 were against rank 14 players. Over one third of 38 fights were against rank 14s. 5 more were against rank 13 and 12s. Every player was extremely well geared. Not one player could possibly be considered a gold farmer. Not one player was afk. Other than one hunter being caught unprepared, they did not make serious mistakes. And yet rogues repeated the same accusations as they always have, claiming that all opponents were AFK brain dead farmers.
