Ran into Styxz, a rogue I first met in Crossroads. We dueled, I killed him repeatedly (Barn got in on it too). We gave him some tips\u2014gear, gems, keybinds\u2014but his coping process? Priceless.<\/p>\n

Step 1:\u00a0 Disbelief<\/strong><\/p>\n

Wow, can’t believe I just died to you.<\/p>\n

Step 2:\u00a0 Denial<\/strong><\/p>\n

I was lagging, I keep lagging.<\/p>\n

Step 3:\u00a0 Anger<\/strong><\/p>\n

You’re enjoying this, aren’t you?\u00a0 This is probably the only time you can 1v1 anyone, isn’t it?<\/p>\n

Step 4:\u00a0 Bargaining<\/strong><\/p>\n

Hang on I’m going to change specs, then I’ll kill you just wait.<\/p>\n

Step 5:\u00a0 Guilt<\/strong><\/p>\n

I’m a clicker<\/p>\n

Step 6: Depression<\/strong><\/p>\n

Ahh I can’t do this! I set up a keybind but I keep hitting the wrong skills!<\/p>\n

Step 7: Acceptance and Hope<\/strong><\/p>\n

I’m going to practice this, and when I get better you’ll be dead faster than a raccoon on a highway at rush hour.<\/p>\n

(No, I am not making this up)<\/p>\n

Speaking of, prior to that I killed a druid who was stealthed in Halaa (yes 90), then killed a 90 DK, then killed a 90 hunter.\u00a0 The other day I also killed a 90 warlock with a 90 holy paladin, some 6-7 times until they logged.\u00a0 No lie.\u00a0\u00a0 They wouldn’t stop attacking Eastpoint Tower low level npcs!<\/p>\n

I also killed a 90 hunter, and druid at a the Hellfire stadium tower prior to that.\u00a0 Being rude to someone trying to help you out, isn’t very cool.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
