Dear Arcane

Dear arcane, really? Signed me.

Ran a regular heroic today with some guildies, unfortunately all dps. I don’t think I’ve had a run with a guild tank since Acks ran me through something. Or Maice. DPS are always ready to go, but tanks, healers, not so much. Sigh. Anyway embarrassingly got the achievement for Vortex today since I had never done it on the mage. Also got in my TB win, and since I’m missing Rinni, spent A LOT OF TIME dying over and over at Slags charging after the horde. There was one feral druid who kept saying things to me which I wish I could translate.

During one of the battles, when it was clear we were losing I left about 30 seconds before the fail, was in the middle of typing to Ladiesman “nah nah I’m on the bridge” (our original meeting spot before we ever started talking) when he sapped me, on the bridge XD Sneaky devil! Had numerous fights just outside the bridge as well, but the horde advantage of being so much closer to said bridge is… well just unfair. Once horde are off the bridge, any ranged class, mages, warlocks, hunters, etc, are almost guaranteed to pull their guards since they only have to run about 5 yards to get to their camp. Pet classes have to be especially careful. I appreciate the guards being there but they kind of screw up after battle pvp when you get one up your ass when trying to kill fleeing horde. I mean, maybe an archway that just unflags you at the entrance to both camps would be a better idea. Then if you want to puss out on your flag status you can.

Yomommaa

I’ve been seeing another BE rogue in TB lately by the name of Yomommaa, who is good, but still not like Ladiesman. Turns out they are friends, and I went into a vent with the both of them while they ganked alliance before and after a battle. We lost the first one, but won the second. I don’t really stand much of a chance against two sub rogues though.

Pulling the Guards

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

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.
