And we tell this BG, NOT TODAY!

For some reason, I got Twin Peaks 3 times in a freaking row today.  The first one I waited EIGHTEEN MINUTES to get into.  At first I thought it would be a loss, the other team had 2 warlocks (fears) 2 holy priests (more fears) and a resto shaman.  But I said “NOT TODAY” and pushed buttons very hard and clicked very fast and we won.

I wasn’t having a loss after 18 minutes.  Nope nope nope.

Now it makes more sense

Sometimes I wonder why people, either in pvp, or pve, seem to do SO poorly.  Usually I start with looking at gear, or rotation.  Beyond that, if I have to ask about add ons, keybinding or clicking, it’s really too much work to bother. I tried that with Bella long ago, it didn’t help.

Anyway, there’s a mage I knew who was always really bad, like I could thrash them in a duel on a healer class, and in bgs or rbgs, they usually had piss-poor dps and such.   Now, I just think it’s general awareness.  We duo’d a dungeon and man.  They were attacking mobs I had sapped in advance, not noticing a mob I had sapped 2-3 times that was still chilling there giving me the evil eye.  I’d say to run past the pathing mobs, they would kill them all, that kind of thing.  Not really a big deal but it feels like a bull in a china shop.  Apply that to pvp or a raid and it’s even worse.

Entire Team, no HK’s

Ouch.  Just look at it, LOOK AT IT!

So hm yeah.  Did my cata dungeons on my monk, and I forgot how cool some of them were.  I hated Halls of Origination when it first came out, because healing it was pretty hard and it seemed to last forever.  But now it was much easier and I actually had time to look around.

Paying Attention is Expensive

Originally OQueue seemed like a good place to find actual serious pvpers. But, gosh lately it’s just as bad as getting in a random. First off, CTF maps pop way, way too much. I had one we actually won, but our warrior FC didn’t seem to notice the flag was returned, and avoided the cap spot, while everyone was screaming in chat, CAP CAP OMG CAP. He barely made the cap, before 6 of the other team burst into our flag room.

Nearly gave me a heart attack. A pixel one, not a real one.

Then had on, 2-3 Twin Peaks where we were all over the place, zero peels, zero support carrying the flag, getting GY camped, that kind of thing. Then WSG’s, same thing, they run the flag across the field with no resistance, we don’t even pick up their flag, and so on. I think I’m ready to quit.

Then, I sort of gave up wanting to do 2’s.  My rogue partner, literally says things like “I didn’t notice you died”, or has 25% of my overall damage.  I actually threw a fit one night when we almost had a resto shaman dead. I got caught in a stun, and he couldn’t close the deal with the shaman at 5% health and she hard cast in his face. To full.  I said seriously, I’m done.  I’ll have full prideful on both chars next week and although I don’t especially LIKE arena, I really dislike it when someone who admits they “tunnel vision” and has no awareness of any kind.
