Just Stop

Dec2

I try out my damage disc spec in a battleground, and we win, I get 142 honor but I am not finding a good balance between healing and dpsing.  I decide to set up my second spec to pick up the more pvp related disc talents instead.

I queue for a Strand and we get destroyed in like 4 mins flat.  Well at least it was quick.  Then I queue again, hit the button to go in, but get throws from the middle of the Trade District to the Cathedral Square.   Weird.

Next one, IoC, loss.

Then Strand and a win, 93 honor.  And I’m fairly certain, that this was about me.

Log into another IoC and we’re losing, like as I log in.  Horde already has the gates down, like 20 players inside, and it’s over. 32 honor.  I still don’t understand how I got 3 honor that one BG.

Next one, AB, loss, 21 honor. We’re playing like idiots like usual.

I then queue up for a dungeon and getone where the druid can’t stop saying lesbians.  I said something about being less obvious about being 12 years old and it stopped.

Alliance loses a lot

Dec1

Queued for BGs and got IoC which is so bugged the only thing that works to get down gates, is holding the docks. The Hangar is still bugged and the Workshop apparently. We lose, 46 honor.

Next is AB, everyone leaves me alone at LM, and we lose. 42 honor.

I get on a WG and the horde rolls us with 9 vehicles, and no one is really defending even though I call out breaches and we lose. Sigh.

Then Strand, we lose, 37 honor. I am running with a guildie today, Janusz.

We run AB and lose so bad I only get 3 honor. THREE.

We win the next AB but I still have only 34 honor.

Then AV and 137 honor with a win! woo!

Last one is IoC, a loss, 47 honor. I believe I have made an arena partner out of this though, so that’s good news.

You have a solid case

This afternoon I run a WSG and we win, 3/3 and I earn 153 honor, 57 HK’s, no killing blows.

Next one, WSG, a win, 93 honor there though, 2 killing blows, 2 deaths, 37 HKs.  3/3 flags again.  We spent some time camping their graveyard and I have a little convo with this gnome:

Then I queue up for WG and wait 14 mins for it to pop. I get in and we have 6 people that gradually increased to about 11.  We got the relic room door down to about half and then lost.  I was unable to build anything more than a cata even though I killed 2 horde npcs, and assisted killing 2 horde players.  Also the problem we ran into,  when we were knocking down the inner doors, something like 8 guards spawned, so 8 of them plus 11 horde players outnumbered us on foot trying to defend the sieges.  Still it was quite close.  The vehicles really do need more armor since we have this giant battleground for like 10 people these days.

Having a healer like myself also, again, is quite obviously a huge advantage.  This does you no good in vehicles, however.  I hate to say it but I am starting to not like queuing for WG.  If the sides were balanced at a full raid group per full raid group, that would be ok.  But fighting 5 to 5 people makes it impossible to both defend towers, while defending vehicles or driving vehicles  and killing the enemy on foot.  It’s not fun, any more, without enough people to defend towers, try to break towers, take workshops, defend vehicles, etc.

I also picked up the 264 pvp bracers and finally used those to replace the 245 Royal Moonshroud bracers I’ve been using since the day I hit 80 and the 245 pvp bracers I was using.

I queue up for a dungeon, and the lines are still rather long and I have to wait over 5 minutes.  I know all the dps are like, QQ more with their 20 minute waits, but usually healers are much faster.

I get PoS with a tank who says he is new to tanking and not geared, and I lost him at Garfrost and lose the warlock when he stands in the poison nova on the second boss.  I DC when my stupid computer shuts down on the ramp but they seem to survive that.   I then lose the tank on the ice ramp because he gets out of my range and loses health very fast, constantly. I almost lose him again on Tyrannus when he blips down to 10% health in like a second, but somehow manage to outheal it. We finish, yay. Frustrating.

I get WSG as the random BG, again. Someone says to control mid but then everyone runs around like usual, leaving the horde to destroy me and the 2 people trying to control mid. We lose.  30 honor.  0 killing blows, 10 deaths, 14 hk’s.  Moonfire spam, is bullshit.

Next is Arathi, and we lose, 34 honor. I go to bed.

Forge of Souls

Logged in and farmed herbs in WG until the battle came up. For some reason all I was getting was Goldclover though. WG popped and like last time I nearly killed a hunter, but they were able to run away from me and I could not catch up, until they ran back to their friends and I died. Oh well. For whatever reason when I was on foot there were no horde npcs for me to rank up on at Flamewatch, but when I came back with a catapult, boom they were there. WTF? I ended up going back to the fort and healed, and helped assist breaking down the sieges as they came in. The horde was pretty bad and unable to defend their vehicles even with equal numbers in the fort and we won.

Later I get in and get WSG, and I appear to be the only healer, and I do very well, and we win, 154 honor.

I then run Forge of Souls and Gun Drak to get some rep with my SW tabard on.

I kill hunters for fun

This morning I log in and turn in my weekly quest, then pick up my Wrathful gloves. I went with the satin set for the critical strike rating though I suppose I should have gone mooncloth since that actually has a healer bonus. Oh well.

Queued up for a WG and had quite the time. I nearly killed a hunter and made him run for cover at 2% health, then survived 3 other horde and a gun shooting at me for quite some time. Even though I killed all the east guns, by the time I come back, they are all back up. We lose since absolutely no one was working together. Sigh.
