| Nearly Done With Battlegrounds |
| Monday, March 10, 2008 |
Time for an update I guess. I haven’t spent a lot of time on the blog recently since all my spare time has been working the Battlegrounds. Yes, the past months posts have all been about that, I know. But very soon things will be different. Why? Because by tomorrow evening Pallanen will have all the epic armor she needs!
Yes, a month and a week after I was introduced to the BGs Pally will be decked out in all Gladiator and Vindicator armor. All that is left to get is the cloak which I have a good start on already. I do realize there are trinkets and jewelry that I can get via BGs but I think I’m taking a break for a little while. Plus when I go for those I don’t think I’ll grind them out. I’ll play the BGs a little more sensibly.
There is also the awesome 2-handed sword I want but that thing requires 27,000 honor. It can wait.
What I plan on next is to get the remaining 2 Kara Key Frags and start raiding Kara with my Guildies. Guildies or whoever needs me. I will go into some Pre-BC instances to test out Pallanen’s Tanking abilities first. I need to see how well she does with the current PVP spec and gear. I am sure it’s not the best set up for Tanking but I don’t plan on changing specs again until I am truly finished with PVP. I could do Kara as a DPS Warrior but usually no one will have a Warrior DPS in the group. Too bad too since its way more fun than Tanking.
I also plan on getting Pallanen’s Blacksmithing level higher and most of all, restoring her stash of Gold. She has gotten a little low on cash lately. LOL
The Battlegrounds have been quite a learning experience. I have a much better handle on the Warrior’s strengths and weaknesses. The Warrior seems to be a little more limited in what they can do against other classes compared to……… well, other classes. :P For example, Pally can easily wipe up a Hunter if she gets to them. But a good Hunter player can keep their distance and hurt her. Any class that can stun and keep distance is an issue for a Warrior. Getting the first strike in is a huge difference maker for sure.
I like it when I see a Hunter in the midst of a big battle and they don’t see me. I charge them and Hamstring them right away. Usually that’s the end for them. Hunters up close, no matter how well geared, are no match for Pallanen. The really good Hunter players will drop a freeze trap and try to get away but that doesn’t always work well for them anyway. Surprisingly the Hunter pets don’t do a lot of damage to Pallanen. Maybe I haven’t run into too many BM Hunters?
Pallanen handles Mages pretty much the same way. Mages do a crap-load more damage though so it’s very important to keep them close.
The only real problem classes for Pallanen are the ones that stun and heal. Paladins and Druids especially. It’s maddening to be whipping someone’s butt badly only to have them stun you and completely heal before you can move again. I think Blizz should have some kind of weapon a Warrior can use at least once a fight that will prevent another class from doing that.
Yesterday Pallanen had an epic battle with a Druid just outside of Dun Baldor. (sp?) It was near the lake behind the South Bunker. A Druid stopped her as she was riding by and left no choice but to fight. Well, Pallanen was totally wiping him up until he put her in one of those whirlwind things they do and healed himself. Then he shifted to bear form and started fighting again. This kept going on for a very long time. The Druid didn’t do much damage to Pallanen at all but he kept healing himself so the accumulation effect was bad for Pally. The fight just kept going on and on. It lasted at least 5 full minutes. I stayed with it just hoping someone would come along and tip the fight my way. I knew trying to run was a waste of time. Just as Pallanen was down to almost no life an Alliance Rogue came by and jumped in. I quickly popped a healing potion and between the two of us we finally killed that Druid. But Pallanen would not have won alone.
That kind of thing is so frustrating.
Anyway, this is another long post. I do get gabby. lol Maybe Wednesday I will post a pic of Pallanen in her full epic armor set. I’ll try to do that for sure since she has worked very hard to get it all together. Soon after I hope to post about something other than Battlegrounds.
Or maybe even post something about one of the other girls than Pallanen. I do have a few more that could use some attention. lol |

About Me: I started playing WoW after my best friend bugged me to play. I soon learned that I really liked it. Now 2 years later I still play and have 20 characters. LOL I am no gaming expert. I am no WoW expert. A lot of the terms and "how to do's" elude me still. But I love to play. All you will find here are the adventures of Pallanen and her sisters. I love them all and they really kick butt. So stay tuned and maybe we can learn stuff from each other that we never knew. xoxo
