More BGs

Racked up 2000 kills on my lock.

Not a lot by most veteran player standards, but certainly a good number of combat experience considering it's only been 2 weeks.

WSG is certainly 75% Horde favored in the 20-29 bracket.

Arathi Basin 20-29 Horde side.... meh. I'd say more towards 70% for engagements where I don't personally log in and see the Alliance ahead at 1860 to 1100 Horde. When the Alliance are camping graves at the Horde start-point as you log in... you know you're in trouble. On the ones I get to start and help steer, we win a good deal. I've led a couple teams. Moved players and even got to direct offense teams. That was GREAT fun. We ended with a solid 4 cap.

Don't win em all, but the Horde has their act together in the sub 70s BGs.

Heck. The Horde has continued to dominate the PvP side of Warcraft. People play horde because they like the game and care more about objectives than asthetics. The woman that chooses an ugly orc versus a perfect femal Human is more about stats than Appearance. roleplay

First week of BGs

Horde PvP ( Icecrown server ) lv 20-29

We won every match.

WSG 3-0
AB ( Win ) Near the top of the board below a Horde Hunter. We were trading nodes early on, but we kept 3 and pushed the advantage.

WSG 3-0 ALL Three Flag carries and a Flag return by me. I'd like to say I soloed that, but the sheer amount of support the horde players give each other is what made that win a complete landslide. Heals, Shields, blockers, Saps, Fears.... They were a great 10 man squad. I was just in the right place at the right time to swipe and score.

WSG 3-1 Standard Fare. Held a bunch of foes midfield. There's no glory in death... but if you can DOT six guys and run them around in circles for a couple minutes... thats plenty of time to get your flag runner into their base or back home.

WSG 3-1 Had a few notable twinks to face, but we kept them isolated and feared off the Flag runner. Having a priest in your BG increases your odds of winning by 25-45%. Having ANY healer in your raid helps 60%. Not saying you can't win without heals... but why skate uphill?


I was easily the top of the Damage done chart. Topped the Kill / HK list a number of times. And was generally a priority target for the alliance. WHY??

Because I'm a Warlock.

I cause pain and suffering. As much as I can. To as many other players as I can reach.

Eventually, they get tired of dying or getting feared and come after me. At 1400Hp I can't take the beating, but my job is to distract. Getting a kill... sure. Cap the flag and run like a little girl? Sure. But my main goal is to stop the opposing flag runners. Dot the chase team. And FEAR the priests before they get off a heal on their tanks. Even if the fear gets trinketted, I've done my job to interrupt that heal and help my team bring down a peksy warrior or rogue.

Long range pain...
