Wohast shares his wisdom

I am hereby giving you an interview with THE MAN who is using a mouse for everything, he puts the "bling" into "bling-bling", the bruiser and the abuser, the original party starter, the hero of the past that can still resub, pwn ur ass and love ladies at the same time,

now I know what all of you are thinking: Bill Clinton is a clicker?

I am talking about Wohast, the legendary assassin that made using a mouse in pvp look cool (at worst: half decent).

1. You were one of the first 80lvl characters in Age of Conan. Were you power leveling just to get to the end game fast?

1. I leveled to 80 pretty much 100% solo.  Every once in a while I would get lucky and a grind group would let me in...that only happened maybe 3 or 4 times though.  Since it was summer I was able to play a lot and instead of screwing around trying to kill other lowbies etc, I would just find a good lesser known camp and grind my ass off.  Since I was a few levels ahead of the majority, the zones would be very quite and I could go hours without any trouble.

2. You nickname was "the clicker" and in fact in your movies you were using a mouse instead of keyboard. What's up with that?

2.  I first started off as a clicker 100%.  Watching my own videos helped me see the strengths and weaknesses of 100% clicking, so I started adapting to a mixture of clicking and keybinds.  By my last video you can see pretty much everything has a keybind that is very close to the WASD keys, and during fights I use both methods.  Overall I found that the mixture of the two styles was perfect for me and didn't gimp me at all.

3. When did you quit AOC and what was the main reason for doing so?

3.  I quit AoC right around the time when the gem exploit took over, which was also around the time that gems got nerfed.  I spent a bunch of $$ on a few pieces to complete my suit, and later that night I found out that they were all made for pretty much nothing using the dupe method.  At the time I was probably one of the wealthiest players in AoC with around 550g, and losing a hundred or two of that buying duped items that cost the other person nearly nothing really pissed me off.  Funcom did nothing about this exploit and no one was ever punished.  Once Funcom finally did decide to nerf the hell out of gems, all the hard work and money that went into my suit was 100% for nothing.  It had nothing to do with me going from ultra dmg gem suit to nothing and being gimp...I proved in many videos that I could perform the same running around naked.  It all had to do with the fact that Funcom completely took away something from me that I spent TONS of cash and time on and I got nothing at all in return except some armor that was worse then crappy green drops.

4. Tell us a little something about ENTOURAGE? No one dared to copy that idea ever again. It was kinda appealing. How was it working out?

4.  Entourage was the main reason I had so much fun in AoC.  We had a full T2 city, we all worked hard to help out, and we all shared the same idea...screw raids, PvP only.  None of us cared about PvE/Raiding, if we wanted that we would play WoW.  All we wanted to do was PvP, and since we were able to get some of the best gear in the game without having to PvE, we saw no point in doing it.  I got the idea from back when I played DAoC.  Stealth guilds were very common in that game.

5. Any good story involving you, Fatwa and Mephs? Any memorable pvp encounters that you would like to share?

5.  It's been so long that nothing really sticks out.  We were always outnumbered in the fights we chose and 2vs4's, 3vs6's, etc were all very common.  The main thing that sticks out with Fatwa is his forum trolling lol.  With Mephs the main thing that sticks out is dueling him a bunch, because I know how bad he wanted to beat me lol.  Unfortunately for him I don't think he ever got that satisfaction haha :P

6.Would you consider going back to AOC? What would have to happen with AOC development for you to return?

6.  Now that I just got a new Alienware M15x, I would consider trying out AoC again if I ever got a free trial or something.  After a game screws you hard twice like it did to me, it's very hard to trust them again with your dollar.  Getting your email the other day made me watch all my PvP videos again and made me miss the fun, and i'm kinda curious to see what my guy still has on him and how the guild city is.

7. What is your history with mmos? Played any before AOC?

7.  Started MMO's with UO played about 2 years till they screwed it up.  Played DAoC as a stealther class (shadowblade/hunter), and played that for 2-3 years and again quit when they screwed PvP up.  This is where I knew that assasin/hunter/stealther class was what I loved played.  Played AO for a few months.  Played SWG a few months.  Played WoW as a Hunter and got 80.   Then went to AoC and played that till till they screwed it up.  Right now i'm messing around with Mortal Online beta since its free.  Gonna give SWTOR a shot when it comes out.

8. Why assassin? That class was generally considered gimp.

8.  As I said before, stealther class is what I loved and had the most fun with.  The only thing I didn't like about stealther classes in AoC was that they couldnt see other stealthers.  In DAoC if you were stealthed and you ran by another stealther person, depending on your skill lvl you would see him for a split second and could attack and bring them out of stealth.  Made assassin vs assassin battles a lot more common and funner.  I played the gimpest of the 3 assassin classes in DAoC and made it work, so despite hearing all the talk about Sins being gimped, I knew I could do it.  After seeing our abilities end game, I knew this class was gold, and it was just a matter of using all our abilities and showing the community how overpowered we really are :P.
