… and all I got was this lousy title…

Posted in Achievements, Misc WoW, PvP, tagged Achievements, Misc WoW, PvP on February 14, 2012 | 20 Comments »

I spent years achieving the achievement and all I got was this lousy title… Finally, finally, with a lot of help from my friends and awesome support from the PuGs, I got Resilient Victory, the last achievement I needed for Master of Arathi Basin, and more importantly the last achievement I needed for Battlemaster. So [...]

I don’t care about the color of your clothes

Posted in Misc WoW, PvP, tagged Misc WoW, PvP on July 12, 2011 | 7 Comments »

nor about the titles you show nor for that matter if you have a 3200 arena rating. I only care that you play to win, and do that well. So we have a new guildy, a pvp loving guildy. I’ve been in WSG with him all weekend… school holidays. Yeah, he’s a young guy. His [...]

OMFG, No Healers, we’re screwed!

Posted in Misc WoW, PvP, tagged Misc WoW, PvP on July 12, 2011 | 7 Comments »

To which I respond… No we’re not. Kill them before they hurt you. Focus their healers, send them to the graveyard 1st, make them wish they hadn’t joined the BG too. A long time ago Gnomeaggedon joined the circle of healers meme. People thought it was novel, a joke, but I was DEADLY serious. You [...]

Gripping and Leaping to a BG win

Posted in Misc WoW, PvP, tagged Misc WoW, PvP on June 28, 2011 | 3 Comments »

I recently wrote, as an aside, of the power of a team of Priests in WSG Life Gripping (yeah OK, Leap of Faith) a flag carrier across midfield in a long chain. My last post was about peeling FTW, and many of the contents of this post are peels of one sort of another. I [...]

That winning peeling…

Posted in Misc WoW, PvP, tagged Misc WoW, PvP on June 25, 2011 | 4 Comments »

It peels good to win doesn’t it? In both PvE and PvP winning usually involves defeating an opponent and/or gaining an objective. Sometimes to kill one opponent, we have to deal with several. In PvE, we deal with this in one of two ways: AoE FTW! AoE becomes the norm after a certain gear level [...]

I won’t give up because…

Posted in Misc WoW, PvP, tagged Misc WoW, PvP on June 20, 2011 | 8 Comments »

I don’t play to give up. At a time when more often than not people are lamenting the lack of difficult PvE encounters, I have chosen to spend my time playing against people, unpredictable people, in PvP encounters. Katherine commented on my last post that people probably just want to collect their honor for the [...]

How to end a BG quick – without bitching!

Come on guys, let them cap 5 and get it over with quick Ever heard that? I swear I have heard it a million times. A million times too many. Often very early in the battle, usually someone confident they can take on the enemy singlehandly and win, it is only the rest of us [...]

So many specs, so little time

Posted in Misc WoW, PvP, Specs, tagged Misc WoW, PvP, Specs on June 2, 2011 | 1 Comment »

Gnomeadeaden leveled at Unholy, with a side of Blood when I was taking too much punishment. Gnomeaggedon was Fire, only Fire. PvE – Fire, PvP – Fire. Gnomeadeaden has never been good at either spec, but being the hero class, it really didn’t matter too much. So slowly my fingers learnt which buttons to press [...]

Tanking Battlegrounds

I think of BigBearButt frequently. I link to him just as often. One of the reasons I do, is I love his passion for playing WoW. Like all of us he reaches low points, yet unlike many he finds new inspiration, or is reinspired by different aspects of the game. He even hit his 1st [...]
