WTFlux

Well, we went 3-7 this week. My warlock buddy left me for someone else. I appreciated his help, but wish we could have done some more matches. I think I will have around 920 points after today, so I will need 1 more week of arena for mah epics.

My prot paladin buddy tried healing a bit with mixed results. He doesnt have any (ANY) healing gear, so healing is a bit of a struggle. He was being stunned and shield bashed? taking away his healing spells for around 5 seconds, in which people would finish me off. I die really quickly, if I’m focus fired, I get about 4-8 seconds before I die. I don’t know if it’s really just horrible gear, or superior opponents. Probably both. Arg.

Anyway - almost there, once I have the axe, I’ll probably stop playing 2s. It will be nice to be completely done getting gear for my ranged weapon and my melee weapon. I don’t think there are many better than the Sunfury bow and the Arena Axe.

It’s official, my 2v2 rating is now 1337. I pleaded with the general public loitering in Nagrand to join me for 10 2v2 arena matches. My pally buddy was not on. He did not answer his cell phone.

A guy - dotdottab, told me his resilience wasn’t really that great but he would join up if I wanted. I sent him an invite. We joined up and started in without many expectations. Game 1 - we win. Huh, pretty cool. Game 2 - two rogues, loss. Game 3 win. Game 4 win. Game 5 win.

Woah. This is officially fun.

Game 6 - Hunter/healer? - loss. We tried killing the healer first, and it didn’t work very well. I got killed pretty quick and that was pretty much it. The next game - we had the same team, killed the hunter - controlled the healer, we win.

Game 7 - Warrior/shaman - loss. Tried killing the warrior, never saw the healer. Warrior killed my lock. Game 8 - same team. We found, killed the healer - controlled the warrior. The warrior killed my lock again, but I was still alive and had trap cooldowns up and kept him at distance, killing him to win.

We ended up 7-3, giving me my leet rating. That was VERY fun.

WE WON 2 MATCHES!!!!! WOOOHOOO!!!!

Ahem…sry about that.  Yes, we did win 2 of our 10 matches.  Yes, they were against real live people.  We beat 2 warlocks (lol?) in the Ruins, then beat a priest/warrior combo in the Circle of Blood.  The warlocks went down smooth, kind of like A & W creme soda.  I think I heard Lexy purring after the match.  Our first ever legit Arena win! 

Then we came up against some rogue teams which we definitely seem to have a problem with.  I think everyone kinda has problems with Rogue teams though, so I don’t feel to horrible about that. 

Our second win was decided about 20 seconds into the match.  We saw a priest and took off right after him.  Bestial Wrath, Intimidation and some crazy shield stunning thing and the poor priest never had a chance.  We had him down in like 15-20 seconds, took a breath and started after the warrior.  This is about where the video started - I’m retarded and didn’t catch the whole thing. 

Anyway we had a blast and went 2-8. We ran up against the same Priest/Hunter team 2-3 times and couldn’t really deal with them that great.  Dark just needs better gear, respec to Ret, and to do more dps.  We could get the priest down, but by then the hunter would have me almost dead.  The priest would die, and get one last greater heal in and the hunter would kill me, then prance around the arena kiting poor Dark everywhere while King Bangladash was taking bite sized chunks out of my wee little dwarven pally.  lolz.  At least we had a good time, eh?

OK!  Here we go.  ARENA TIME BABAY!  Darkmatteroz and myself jump into the 2v2 arena.  Our SOLE goal is to get 1000 arena points.  Let’s see how we do.

Match 1 - Loss (no kills)
Match 2 - Loss (no kills)
Match 3 - Loss (no kills)
Match 4 - Loss (no kills)
Match 5 - Loss (I killed a pet)
Match 6 - Loss (no kills)
Match 7 - Loss (it was 2 vs 1)
Match 8 - Loss (no kills)
Match 9 - Loss (no kills)
Match 10 - WIN!  (they quit)
Match 11 - Loss (no kills)
Match 12 - Loss (no kills)

So there you go.  No I am not kidding about Match 7.  Rohh the rogue beat both of us, pretty badly.  ALL BY HIMSELF.  mmmmkay.  Time to go back to regular BG’s.

I’m still fuming over this.  I was in Terrokar forest questing by myself.  I saw a 70 horde hunter on his mount, and went out of my way to avoid him.  I went about questing.  Next thing I know he rode over to me and dismounted.  I didn’t really think twice, I tried to avoid him- but he pressed the issue.  I hit my mark/pet attack macro, and hit every instant shot I have, got off an aimed shot- and started a shot rotation.  When he sent his pet on me, I immediately feigned death and shrugged it off.  For some reason he never sent it back - so now Lexy is chewing on him, and I’m hitting a few good crits and kill commands are flying.  I look down, and notice I’m not dead yet - and I killed him straight up!  I was feeling pretty good about myself - this was my first 1 on 1 level 70 horde I’ve killed with Carterpants.

Then he resurrected.

Apparently the graveyard was basically next to his dead body.  I didn’t even have time to bandage, and he killed me.  I rez, go to my body and find he’s still there, eating to gain health.  I pop in, and lead with an aimed shot crit and KILL HIM AGAIN!  This time I did it without a pet!  Then his serpent sting ticks 1 more time and I die.   So now I’m up 2-1.

I think he’s probably learned his lesson, getting owned by a level 67 at 70 must suck.  So I rez and just start to quest again.  I accidentally aggro a warp stalker, and run away a bit to feign death.  Then he shows up again.  Hoping against hope, I stayed in feign death.  He rode over, looked around, circled back, looked around some more.  Stared at me.  Finally he jumped off his mount and I popped up and unloaded all my dps, but died (he was at full health, I was at about 40% since I had just rezzed).

When I rezzed this last time he was gone.  ARGGGG.

Hey Kittytrainer - I hope you feel good about that.  If I got owned by a level 67 when I was 70 straight up at full health, I’d probably want to kill them too, but l2take your beatings next time.  How the hell did you get those epic PvP rewards anyway???  LOLZ.

Last night, I graduated from my kindergarten PvP class. There was cake, a nice ceremony, and I got some honor.

I killed 2 horde my level, at the same time.

I was questing in Zeth’Gor - outside of Thrallmar in Hellfire Penn., trying to get some tokens for a quest. I saw a mage sitting there, not doing anything and a LOT of dead mobs everywhere. /target mage - send kitteh for snacks!

Now earlier yesterday I was reading somewhere that when a mage starts to cast the big ol pyro blast, you can feign death and he will stop the looong cast, and loose his target.

Sure enough - the fire mage has the pyro started, and my kitteh is tickling him. The pyro was ALMOST cast, and I hit feign death. The mage just stood there, not really sure what to do. Meanwhile my kitteh was nearly done with his clothie snack, and POW, a rogue pops up and tries to stunlock me. I’m not sure how, but I got loose, laid a frost trap and got away, hit my /pet attack/mark macro and started running for the hills, getting off a serpent sting and a concussive shot to slow him down. I turn around, hit him with arcane shot, multishot, and renew the serpent sting when a warlock arrives. He dots me up and as I’m going down - the serpent sting kills the rogue.

It was great.  My heart was pounding, adrenaline was flowing through my viens.  There’s just something about World PvP that gets me going.  It seems more dangerous somehow, unorganized, chaotic and scary.

Now, I’m in PvP 1rst grade.  Time to learn new things and become stronger, more systematic PvPer.  I need to get betterVS Rogues, and warriors.  I need to get that iwin button on my G15 made, and start testing it out.  The tough part will be knowing that I’m “free”.  If I’m still stunlocked, then the macro won’t really work right, but I guess it won’t exactly HURT.

oh yeah.  I just got this ->
