WoW: My excuse for not writing
10-19 battleground (BG) doesn’t lend itself to stories. You win, you lose. With the pick up groups (PUGs) I’ve gotten lately it’s been mostly losing. With my side stacked with 10s and 14s and the other with, what seems to be, guilds there isn’t much hope. Occasionally there is a bright spot though. I was in a BG with 5 priests the other day. I recommend it highly if you have the chance. Heals for everybody and chain fears, it was a class act.
Usually, PUG BG are chaotic and unorganized. There is little hope for success unless the other side is even more unorganized and untalented. I try to find strong players and assist their efforts. Failing that, I try to make my own opportunities. It can be terribly frustrating fighting an overpowering force, but I’ve never prematurely left a BG. I figure there is something to learn with each effort.
My Rogue twinkage is coming along. I found a superb knife in the AH, 250 gold, which I’ve sent off to my Priest for enchanting. I’m going with Lifestealing which seems the most desired weapon enchant for Rogues, from what I’ve read. I’m still looking for a good off hand weapon. The rest of my gear is getting to be top-end, level 19, stuff.
Mike and I have been working on our duo BG technique with mixed results. When we are able to fight our-way things go well. Unfortunately, the other side seem unwilling to line up to die, very annoying. Mark is bringing up a Mage to join us. I have no idea how a Rogue/Hunter/Mage will work out. Perhaps a different 3 would be better. Maybe 3 Priests. You got to love Mage sheeps though. Well, except when you’re the sheep.
