Warrior fun and PvP Madness

Real quick... logged on late and played a bit. I was gonna do my dailies and some arena. I managed to do dailies and then I did several group quests in Shadowmoon. I am now equally geared for tanking on either Kelmar or Herk. I am thinking about getting a little tanking in on Herk after the patch so I can get a few gear upgrades. I am sitting on about 20k honor and about 1k arena points. Hopefully it will be enough for at least 3 pieves of purple after the patch.

So Herk is starting to do his quest in Shadowmoon and then on to Netherstorm. Elite flying... here I come... again... sigh

I am going to start talking PvP here. I have done some warrior posts about leveling ... sorry about that AP error all! I really want to start getting into the meat of how to take out the other classes and who I should attack when. I will need any and all help I can get.

Hunters: Biggest problem I have with them is getting to them. They trap/ scatter/ keep me at range. Now, it is hard to get a charge off on a decent hunter... they have greater range than I. Even if they didn't, most of the time they drop a freeze trap and dare me to charge into it. I can actually reflect these but needing to have the shield on and already have 25 rage seems a little much. I usually end up walking around it while they pump me full of arrows/bullets. I completely disregard pets.

Once I get to him, I hamstring and start wacking away with the 2H while they kite. Sometimes I have already used Intercept to get to the hunter. Should I always save this? It's not like the hunter can blink, but they do always seem (Hopping for some reason) to get away from me again... or the trap cooldown is up and I get trapped again.

Hunters... Fellow warriors... What are the ideas for Warrior Vs Hunters? What kills?

Thanks!

Made the Axe... did some sigs... will post something soon.

So if you read Renoobed, I have a new job. I would like to post more but time is always in small quantities here.

Axe is super fun. Can't wait to get gear to match it.

Started getting all the rested XP gone from the alts. Hunters are still fun as hell... Easy mode tho. Druids/ Boomkin style is really really nice... I just don't know how to PvP with it. Mage is fun too... I die... a lot. sigh

What else...

We are sucking at 2v2. We need practice and Noob boy only wants to practice on weekends. WTF?! Maybe he will be nice and use the mage in 2v2 since he plays those better.

TJ!!! Sorry I am not giving you Kelmar love but Horde on PvP is just soooo much more fun. You really have no idea. I am waiting on part 3 of your post about the stalker btw... chop chop.

We are going to see Ironbelly/Sugars this weekend in Texas to check out his new fam with the addition of Xavier (X-man) Deal!

Also, we will be hitting the RenFest with Connor in tow. Hipnatizd made him a kilt! It looks awesome.

I have a small poll question...

Think I should

a) Play Herk til he is epic'd out?
b) Show the alts some love?
c) Show at least 1alt (HealingClass) enough love to get to 70 before WOTLK?
d) Go over to TJ's house and take all her Diet coke!

Laters all

1 more Primal Might

That's it... then Lunar Crescent is all mine!

Get me some s1 gear... some more happy items... and I can play arena fulltime and finally save up some G...

BIG THANKS to Renoobed who has helpe me with both Mats and G. Will pay you back :)

Next up!

Leveling the Druid and the mage. I would like to see how the other half lives :)

8 Primal Airs/ 2 Primal Mights/ Aether Rays

Well then,

I am sure most of us do Wrangle More Aether Rays for G. If you play on a PvP server, you are always slightly paranoid when you do the dialys... unless you are flying... but even then, you know if you get hit off that bird and land with less than 1/2 life in front of some asshat it ain't gonna be pretty.

Otoh, there is at times, the you are over there/I am over here neutrality.

What about the pull the mob before you can hit it asshat? Yanno, the ones with spells or a bow and range from here to eternity!

There I am about to get my 2nd ray when BOOM! wth?! Druid?! There goes my ray... grrr... I look over thinking, no ally is dumb enough to do that on a PvP server... must be an asshat Horde.

BUT NO... it was a NELF!

So I meander over... walk up to him... /pat him... wait a tic... he is wrangling... I execute that FLIPPIN RAY!

/mount flying mount... ride off with a cheesed off Druid crow after me... I laughed... and then... I laughed some more.

I farmed Primal Airs for Lunar Crescent last night... I am getting closer... prbly have the axe by Fri or Sat tops.

AV holiday, Arena, and 350BS!

So then,

I kinda got screwed this weekend on getting in my AV easy honor. I will end up with 17k so I can get some new boots. I need those boots as I am wearing ones that are from lv60. Ya... I know. Think about this tho... What do the people think in Arena when Mabd and I beat them and they look up my poorly geared butt on Armory?

We played arena this weekend. We keep making some mistakes. I made another line of sight mistake.

Note: Even if you are ON TOP of the tomb in Arena, those shitty little columns will block a hunter. Who knew?!

Blacksmithing:

After I got over that HUGE/little Mithril hump, I went from 275-350 in no time thanks to some Mabd help and the nice reserve I had.

I get to 350 and realize I have not done the weaponsmith quest... (*$# mE! ./sigh

Get that done and I am starting on mats for Lunar Crescent. I am just going to farm the G for the Primal Mights ... cuz... I am NOT fighting that many elementals. The Primal Airs are gonna be nasty tho. Other than that, I have the mats.

AV Warrior style,

During AV, I noticed I tend to do 2 things more than anything else. I Charge/Hamstring and kill stuff or I tank bosses. While killing is fun... I never realized how deadly I was with a dedicated healer til one game when a Shaman /w me and said "I got your back, go bonkers. :D" Well, I did. I racked up 115 HKs and he had most healing done. Anything not in plate fell like panties on prom night.

Tanking is easy peasy in AV. A word of caution tho... if there isn't a healer why did you rush in to tank?! I only did that once btw.

This week the focus will be in getting Lunar Crescent!

More *#&$($ Solid Stone :(

Seriously, in between BGs and the daily... I made another 12 Mithril Spurs... NO *#$%ing check. I am stuck 274!!!!!

BGs went great... Noctumbulant really does own any premade... WSG, AB and AV last night... all wins... all fast... They even let me kill stuff.

I am writing a good post this weekend.

A Warrior's place in BGs.

But that's after I get past the 274 mark... I mean I have 350 Thorium just asking for it and I can NOT get there.

sigh

This weekend is Arena time with Renoobed. Might have to make some blogs about our goof ups and strategies.

Terrorkar time and that )*(#&$)( Solid Grinding Stone

So then...

I admit Renoobed's opinion on buying the mats for BS to be accurate. It is faster and easier to get the mats by questing for gold.

Having said that, I am a broke monkey. I am stuck at that hateful point between 270-275 BS when you are making Mithril Spurs and all you pray for is a check! I got myself down to 4g yesterday just buying the Solid Stone... I have tons of Thorium I can't use til I get this last ()#$) check. Sigh

I paid back some help Mabd gave me in Terrorkar and went to do all the group quests with Majeure. Quite uneventful... except...

Nagrand

Bird egg group quest

Herk rolls up on Kodo.

Maj "Don't kill the mage he's ok."

Herk "..."

Start fighting leet bird. Along comes 70 Shadow priest... NELF one... he Shadowmelds.

Herk "Trouble"

NELF waits to 30% and fears all both of us... I zerk out of it and quickly kill bird while getting dotted up.

Member that cool mage Majeure was so fond of? You betcha... spells are flying... 67 Pally shows up... I am at low health and pissed off... I chase em to their base... you see I really CAN NOT help trying to kill them when they do this even tho I usually end up dead myself.

Renoobed lets me go most of the time... he understands the personalities the warrior class usually attracts.
