A Little Bit Special
WoW has and always will have (I hope) a changing landscape for all the different features in the game. For as long as I remember, there have always been changes to balance, features, and functions in the game. I think it’s refreshing that the game doesn’t stay in one solid state for any (prolonged period of time).

There are many “little things” introduced to the game that don’t immediately get a huge following. Things like little talents or little skills that people don’t utilize at first, but become huge forces after people learn how to use and control these abilities.

It wasn’t long ago that a large amount of warriors considered Endless Rage useless. While in its current state, it’s a little weak (5% vs. 25%), the talent itself has opened the doors to 40+ point arms warriors. That’s definitely something I didn’t see in the earlier pvp seasons.

So who’s Special?
There’s a unique team on Eredar: Amelio and his 5v5 team BEARFORCEone (what a great name).  His team has made it to 2050+ with one of the oddest setups I’ve ever seen:

- Warrior (Arms/Prot)
- Shaman (Enhancement)
- Priest (Disc)
- Mage or Warlock
- Druid (or Paladin)

I’ve always felt that it’s refreshing when there’s a change in pace and people find ways to suceed where others fail.  Bearforceone (btw, don’t ever watch the real youtube video for it… it’s terribly awesome) has taken a non-standard team and made headway where others keep trying the typical “optimal” setups.

I’m hoping to try some of my own “uniqueness” in the up and coming weeks:  It’s a little inspiration that I’m trying on our own Alt-5 Team.
