It gives me a warm, fuzzy feeling when I, a little 35 Druid, can be just enough of a nuisance to allow higher level players to take down Horde Rogues.

You see, Rogues have a technique (some say abused) that allows them to disappear and enter a stealth mode DURING combat. No other class has that ability, and it allows Rogues to slip away before they're killed. It can be very annoying, since they'll use this technique to kill you in a protected area, and then disappear in front of the guards who will very much overwhelm the Rogue. (As Blizzard intended.)

Anyway... Druids have a technique that prevents the target from entering their stealth modes. It's called Faerie Fire. Not only does it force the target to remain visible for the duration, but it also negates some of their armor points, making them much more vulnerable to physical attacks.

Which brings me to the point of this post.

It makes me feel useful at my level when I cast Faerie Fire on a highest level possible Rogue... and it sticks. (Sometimes they can resist spells, but Farie Fire lands a lot of time.) This is usually during a skirmish of a few Horde and a few Alliance. Rogues can make or break a victory, since they can disappear and then pulverize unsuspecting victims at will.

There was a make-shift group of us killing Horde in a very contested area between the Alliance town Southshore and the Horde-corrupted town Tarren Mill. Very high level people. I was by far, the weakest of the bunch... but I had a spell called Entangling Roots (which stopped many a fleeing Horde and allowed my buddies to finish them off) and, of course, Faerie Fire... the ultimate anti-rogue spell.

There was a rogue and a warrior, I think, who were initially causing problems. So I followed the yells, so to speak, and found where they were fighting! The rogue, naturally, was vanishing during fights to run away and heal up before attacking again. But I caught him with Faerie Fire... several times, bwahaha. It's always refreshing when you see them attempt to vanish (there's a special move they do to do that) and still remain visible... they always stand there for a moment, wondering what the heck happened, before they fight against sudden impossible odds. He died... several times. Because of me! Yay!

...and then there was the occasional fleeing warrior or hunter that mysteriously found himself rooted to the ground, unable to move, with 5 extremely strong Alliance players suddenly catching up to him.

Ahh, I love PvP.

From the Slashdot article:

"IGN recently posted an interesting article featuring Warcraft III on an interactive digital table. From the article 'Possible uses of the technology range from tactical map manipulation and business collaboration to parlor games, but we see a real future in gaming. An intern at MERL was able to get WarCraft III running on one of the prototypes and shot a video of the DiamondTouch and a voice recognition system in action.' Photos and answers to commonly asked questions and a video showing multi user interaction can be found online."

This is one big "zomg". It's speechlessly awesome.
I can't really explain it... read and watch for yourself!
