That is, until I joined just as it was ending, couldn't move, and the realm went down shortly after they zoned me back out.

Second time I joined AB, we lost, 2000 to zero in five minutes.

Still trying to figure out why we can't chat in BGs.... was it necessary to make cross-realm BGs work in the first place?

You can. Use /bg.

There are a ton of teams running around right now showing off their shit, so pugging in any BG right now probably isn't the best idea unless it's AV.

Anyway, the advice to just heal the geared people is golden. If you find a warrior and just keep him freedomed, cleansed, and healed for one battleground, he will love you forever.

As long as all you non-healers make it your personal duty to protect the healers

No greater way to ensure I never even click a heal button for the rest of a BG is to run ahead to fight someone and then stand there waiting for a heal while some rogue jumps up my ass

And then ask why I didn't heal you, oh yeah, that is icing

I make it my personal duty to disarm every rogue I see attack a healer.

Then, if I have time, I'll kill him too.

Gilneas was chain crashing it's BG Group all night long. I think the longest it stayed up after prime time hit was about 35 minutes.

On the flip side I've never seen 120+ WSG *AND* 120+ AB BG's up at a single time.

Much for the Bloodfang Gloves.

Dueled a Warrior who though after I stunned him for the third time he'd just disarm me. I stunned him a fourth time and then killed him.

If I see bloodfang on the rogue, I don't bother disarming. I just kill him instead.

On the bright side, it no longer matters that the alliance on Bleeding Hollow outnumber the horde 2 to 1 and have a better geared player pool.

On the not-so-bright side, Bleeding Hollow is still down with no ETA of return.

On the dim-but-still-lighted side, Bleeding Hollow and Zul'Jin are in the same BG's.

If you are playing and see "Elmerwudd" (60war) in your BG, say hi!

World PVP is still as completely pointless as it always was, btw. This was established long before the patch was released - that the world pvp events would be pointless and only barely preferable to dueling while waiting for your raid to start up.

Frankly I see it as a good way to keep idiots from showing up at raids flagged and fucking with group heals.

You might find some good hordies from Argent Dawn from Brotherhood of the Blade (BotB), and maybe some Niveus Lepus. NL hasn't put forth a real team in a good while though; we get bored easily.

That annoyed me on our last AQ20 run - people being flagged... It messed my cleanse-spamming with CTRA. Finally, the raid leader got fed up and made everyone flag PvP.

A good run, though.. we did Kurin, Rajaxx, Moam, and Buru (on the second try), Got two paladin codexes, too, so it was worth it.

Oddly since I hit 5/8 Bloodfang I find that I don't give as much of a shit about Warriors and Overpower. I guess the additional 1k+ HP makes a major difference over the 'average' SC Set.

And seeing a Warrior Execute me and still lose is rather odd. If I'm low enough for him to execute I should be dead.

I have to use at least 2 executes on pretty much everyone nowadays.

I'd have figured an execute coming from one of the BWL Axes would have hurt more. Or is Arcanite Reaper still the weapon of choice for that?

Execute isn't based on weapon damage at all.

How is it after all this time people still think weapon dps helps execute? Execute, is like eviscerate, it is not reliant on weapon damage. I can execute with a level 1 weapon and get the same damage as if I used my Hatchet of Sundered Bone.

And I find unless my execute crits, or they are below 10% when i can get it off, If i don't have a full rage bar it surprising won't kill someone a lot of the time.
