I have now experienced the fear that a forest of totems can evoke. In AB i was the only guard at mine and the ally only sent one guy in to try and take it three times. Different guys. After that they just stopped coming over.
I am only level 38 and in bad gear i scrapped together just for my leveling needs. It goes fast with RAF. I have three shaman i can run at once with current limits of tech. Electrified, Geologic, and Glacial... you can look them up on shadowcouncil for an lol. I wanted to feel bgs a bit on a multi box and the ring, cape and trinket spots for wsg are kinda nice... if it goes ok.
I have also seen people dismount to attack me... begin to charge... then hesitate. Gives me time to get of CL and a totems if i want or another LB. I was surprised by how well it went. I was in with twinks and i had second highest HKS and KS for horde, i almost had a flag return. I am on a mac so my software is really not that great and i am still figuring out a bunch of stuff. For leveling it works great... but pvp is a whole new thing.
If i am chasing and one gets roots then i have to decide (i can't switch mains fluid yet, but if i could) to leave one behind and try to come back or to all wait. I would probably leave one behind if it was important and i could. I have no bg trinket yet as this is my first boxing and their first time in bg.
I was able to kite a bit with FS and EB totem.
The ally had one really twinked boomkin that could kill all three of us. i noticed he would run in wide circles (moonfire, or wrath for only 1.5 sec) and it made tracking for spells very hard for my clones to target with spells. I did manage to get off both CL and two LB but he foiled one LB and one CL. Nice for him. On my twink lock i have beaten many v 1 before so i know that against twinks its hard, but is there something i am missing about targeting? Follow doesn't have them turn when you very responsively. I know you have a wide angle you can hit from and that is what saved me. Also when melee runs up how do you keep them targeted? What i am trying now is to (obviously) hit them on the way in and then earthbind totem and frostshock kite my boys all facing them again for a LB or a shock and at least one melee swing. Melee when they get in run all crazy like (very smart) and i lose the spell target.
I also learned of the devastation that is the mage arcane explosion on a twink 39 mage for my frail selves. I don't have a spread out macro yet. Also... wow every warrior fears right away, really tuff. WTB UD shaman. Now i see why the UD locks are the pwn for pvp. I also really like the idea in the other thread about the focusless/targetless group for easy switching. Seems really useful especially like when i get stunlocked on what was the main a second ago.
I imagine that i am a bit like an undergeared 70 playing with epic geared folks when i bg with twinks. Even still the CL+LB combo really puts some hurt on even just at x3.
I am used to playing mages/locks and hunters in bg up to now and they have a lot of movement and quick turns and such but with a group like this it seems that all that quick movement is not really that viable. It could also be that i am only an egg learning how to fry.
Even still bg was pretty fun.
