Alliance pwns sometimes?

Jun4

I must have joined some premades tonight or something, because alliance OMFGPWNED horde in all the bgs I did today.  Healers kept me up entire battles, I was mowing them down like grass, amazing. 4 SotA wins in a row. And like I said, not just wins, but OMG pwned wins.  I even fraps’d one I was on such fire.

The fun run raid was cancelled, due to no healers being available.  I feel a little burned when I heal raids or ZA/ZG on my priest for people, but when I need my mag run through, there are none wanting to heal.

I got picked up by these guys though and we cleared all but Nef in BWD and got up to Ascendant Council in BoT, then it was called because it was after midnight.  Normally they go until 1 but 12:30 was all I could do.

And not a single caster piece dropped, save the dagger I already had off the dragons.

Pulling the Guards

May31

Alliance had TB twice this morning but I did not get in on the second winning battle at all. Got in some losing ones though. I spent some time toying with a blood elf arcane mage between the two camps, trying to figure out how she was pulling the guards on us from a long distance off. While I was doing this I partnered up with Santiarium, a DK, and spent a lot of time dying to guards trying to kill this mage and a rogue.

What it looks like you can do though, as a mage, is mid-way between the camps, throw out a flame orb, then retreat back to your camp. If it attacks or starts attacking alliance (for example) even if they are a few yards off from their guards, the horde guards will travel all the way over and try to kill them. I died several times this way. I did kill the mage once by MCing her into her own guards though. That never gets old.

I keep missing kills!

Did more arena with Acks last night, and we ended up with something like 50% wins. We ran into 2 double pally teams, the second one we won against when I chain feared and MC’d the holy pally. Got my cap but really have nothing to buy.

Also ran 3 or 4 TB battles today, and although we had it in the morning, we lost every single battle after that. One of the times we didn’t even get all the towers down. It just seems like horde is able to have 10 people at 2 bosses and a few at the third, but when I look at the alliance map, we have 10 people at one base (usually ICG), 5 or less at WV and no one but me at slags. Then we have people yelling out GET WV GET WV so we can win! … while I’m staring at a slags base with 10 horde waiting and not an alliance in sight. Depressing.

Speaking of, last night the guild got down Al’akir. So this is the second time I did not feel like raiding, and they got a new boss down. Last time it was Nefarion. Why do I always just get in on the shitty nights? Ugh.

Golden King mount

May26

Last night I took off raiding and ran arena with Acks.  I think we lost more than won but most of the fights were pretty hard.  We quit before cap to watch Game of Thrones.

Today I ran TB twice and we did not take it both times, like 1/3 not even close.

On the plus side I got the Golden King mount when we hit 25th guild level some time last night I think.  They need to make it so you can just turn that banner off though it’s bizzare to look at. Anyway I ran into Zukk trying to kill me a lot the first battle, and ran into Jonnyboi a lot during the second. Afterwards I ran to the horde camp and he set up a little picnic and bounced and spun all around.

Tunnel Vision

May14

Queued for a heroic and got Deadmines, but failed on the thresher boss with the druid and another person doing less than 5k dps. We wiped on that boss a few times and it was clear 2 people did not know the fight, the tank bailed and then I left.

After that I got Stonecore with a guy who did not know how to tank it, but other than 3 wipes on bad pulls, and 1 wipe on Ozruk, it went ok. Didn’t pick up any gear in either run.

Later ran arena with Acks on his warrior and got cap pretty quickly. I am doing better on my mage mostly because I am trying harder to use all my crowd control first rather than trying to damage someone down, and running to hide and heal up even if it’s 2 to 1. Sort of learned that when doing arena with Alex.
