Diabolicus and Gnometosser are at 57 and questing in Winterspring. We were feeling a bit aggressive and had killed a 62 gnome mage (go to outlands man!) and a 53 warrior.

We’re not such pricks that we both attacked the warrior – I attacked alone to give him a sporting chance. I am a big enough prick that when it seemed he was afk I kept attacking and killed him anyway.

So later we see a 57 druid. He goes travel form and runs. We chase. I guess he thought he got away cause when I catch up to him he’s fighting a mob. I kill him and wonder where Diabolicus is…

Turns out he’s fighting a 70 priest by himself. He somehow thought Kayona was the druid we were after…

So after I kill the druid I run back to Diabolicus just as he dies. Kayona is at half when I attack. A few seconds later, we literally kill each other at the same time. I shoot an arrow, her spell kills me, my arrow kills her. Was pretty awesome for us 57s to kill a 57 and 70 at the same time. Kayona must have felt like a big loser however. Probbaly nothing new since her arena rating is in the 1400s…

I guess camping us with the 57 druid helping made her feel better. Of course by the time we brought our 70s over she had gone into hiding… She probably guessed that we were bringing in some firepower and since she couldn’t handle 2 57s without help how could she handle 2 70s?

In her defense, warlocks and hunters are both bad matchups for a priest. And her gear is kinda crappy for a 70 while our gear is pretty good for 57…

I’ve been doing some more BGs on Gnometosser, and I think maybe I need a new class for pvp. Hunters do great damage – at level 53-54 I was often in the top 10 in damage in AV and the top 3 in AB.

The problem is that I’m also pretty high on the death list too. It seems like once a rogue reaches me I’m stunned then dead. Or if a lock DOTs me up I die (though often I kill the lock before I do).

I think I prefer a toon with more defense in pvp – Goldsong for example is nothing special on the damage charts (though even prot spec I’m alwys in the top 5 on heals except in AV) but he is pretty good at surviving – my hunter feels kind of like a wuss.

I also like healing, Horde often loses battlegrounds I’m in because there are no healers. And while I used to think Alliance were all hunters and rogues they do always seem to have healers, unlike Horde.

I was thinking about a dreamstate druid – Balance for a bit of damage, Boomkin for armor, resto for the heals obviously. This toon should be very useful in BGs and large scale world pvp like city raids (never done one but that is my WOW goal – to get into some city raids). The big drawback would be no real protection from stunlock except that hopefully when the stun wore off I’d still be alive thanks to Boomkin armor (assuming I didn’t get caught in caster form – then I’d die faster than my hunter).

I hate stun and fear more than anything else in WoW. So Orc shammy or Undead priest are other healing possibilities. There’s just something about Boomkin…

And if you’re wondering why I don’t try a rogue since they do ridiculous damage, have crazy control, and have ludicrous defensive skills it’s because I am a keyboard mover so melee pvp = I fail.

There is a serious problem now – BGs are often starting with one side vastly outnumbering the other. When I was around 60 with Goldsong, AV rocked – numbers were even – and we won more than we lost. That was before I transferred Goldsong away from Dethecus so…

Now Gnometosser is entering AV, a bit early at 51, because I want some quest rewards and gear from AV marks. I don’t know if I’ll ever win an AV in this bracket though. I just lost 5 in a row and Horde is outnumberd about 40-20. It just sucks roayally.

With Goldsong, I’ve been doing EOTS for marks for S1 mace and shield. There Horde is often outnumbered as well (different battle group but same problem). 15-10 is a common starting point.

Blizzard, don’t start a BG when one team has twice as many players as the other. WTF?

Gnometoseer is 48 now and pretty soon he can get into AV. At lower levels I may not be able to do much but I will go in there and try to do my part fairly early (level 52 or so).

On Goldsong I waited until level 58 to enter, but with Gnometosser I will be a bit more greedy. I want some stuff from AV before I hit 60:

Bandolier and quiver at 55, plus I want my crossbow as soon as spossible (like level 51 or 52).

I think I also want a Frostwolf mount (not a big kodo fan) and a battle standard (becauses it might be kind of fun / cool). That stuff I can earn later. Maybe get the mount from 58-60 and maybe do the banner then or maybe at 70 or maybe not at all.

I bought a Lei of Lillies for Gonmetosser for 30 gold today, dinged 46, equipped it, used it to make a lily root. I love it and think 30 gold was a steal. If I can get one reasonably it also seems like a must for Goldsong – a mana/health boost independent of potion timers? Awesome for a tank.

I think this will be great for pvp and pve. I mean when don’t you need mana and health?
