One of the issues I have as a shaman is dealing with paladins.
One of the things that really piss me off are paladins who decide to walk up and gank me.
Sure, it is a PvP server and I should just deal with it, and cut my QQ. But on the same note? How would this paladin like not being able to do his dailies. How would he like it if I decided to walk all over him because my class was much stronger than his. Yes, I hexed and earthbind-kited him. But what’s that really going to do against shockwave and the rest of the paladin’s arsenal?
I enjoy my fair share of world PvP. My Death Knight had almost two thousand honor after leveling just from world PvP. However, I do not camp people and wait until they ressurect for me to take advantage of them. In addition, on my death knight, the people I PvP’d against in world PvP were usually at or above my own level, and the majority of them happened to be other death knights – and I did not camp them.
Frankly, I’m just not a big fan of assholes, and I’d define campers as just that: assholes who like to take advantage of people, and waste their time to /flex their own epeen. So, next time you decide to go camp that dwarf priest or that troll shaman? Why not take a look at yourself.
Season Five, in my opinion, was absolutely terrible.
My two’s partner and I did not even participate in Season 5 because of how horrible its terribleness was. Of course, neither of us are necessarily hard core arena players, so watching our rating dwindle down to 1300 in the first ten games was disheartening, to say the least – considering that I was only in 4/5 Hateful from doing raiding and heroics and my partner was in mostly craftable gear, there was good reason as to why we lost. The problem is – we were roughly 5-5, and even lost points for winning. That’s no way to keep people happy and arena’ing.
So Ninja Panda was put on the back burner for a while. Until, of course, last night.
For those who don’t know, in Season 6 arena teams start out with 0 points total. However, until you get to a certain bracket, you don’t lose points for losing, and gain quite a few points for winning. In about an hour or two of arenas, my scrubby little team was at an 800 rating (which is where we called it for the night – at least until tonight). We were having such a good time – through wins and losses – that we didn’t even notice when we had played 50 games.
And so, thank you, Blizzard, for making PvP fun again. I wish I had a frost wyrm mount from Season 5, but hopefully I’ll be on the road to Gladiator this time around.
Sincerely,
Ninja Panda
