don't pvp till 30+ imo, before that you'll be swarmed by twinks, did one wsg at 32 and my first Ab at 34, won my wsg, lost the AB .. twink warriors does my head in >_<
decided not to bother with pvp again till outlands as then you get gear that's good, and there isn't something like twinks anymore
Did some WSG at lvl 19. stopped after a few BGs, same with lvl 29. A twinked hunter kills you in seconds.
Lvl 39 however was fun. I had all the usefull SM items. head,neck,shoulder,chest, shield, dagger. And owned quite hard :) but a friend offered an ST boost, so dinged after i did a few BG's. So imo from lvl 39 and up BG's are fun, if you got some decent gear for survivability
they all speak the truth.
You can go back @ lvl 19 bg and kick ass though .. .just spend roughly 1200-1500g on enchants for your chars... EACH ...
Cause that is what you are up against.
I hate twinking, for one reason: I cba to do the same, I think it's a waste of time and money running around as lvl 19 killing other lvl 19's with the 5-6 skills you have available. I want MORE buttons, and options, and stuff to do.
Most likely one of the reason us boxers are so hated - people cba to do the same. They think it's a waste of money and time...
But we know better ;)
Agreed with everyone! I had much the same experience with my shammies. I wasn't too surprised, having faced rogue twinks before, but was a bit annoyed that even the hive mind that is a multi-boxed team couldn't put a dent in the dedicated twinks. I don't intend to go back 'til 70, tbh.
Lvl 19 BGs are not funny if you're just 'normaly' geared from quests, it's full of twinks in there.
My lvl 19 twink warlock typically has over 2K health, when my current level 30 shamies have about 1.1K from quest items and such.
You probably went in WSG with about 4-500 hp, which for rogues in there is about 3-4 hits.
Keep moving and enjoy later BGs :-)
I'm leveling a quad-box group of warlocks. The 10-19 bracket was quite painful. I did a lot better in the 20-29 bracket.
If you're going to use dots, just dot, tab, dot, tab over and over again until they take you down. Keep mobile and you'll take a few with you... but you won't win.
Destro is a fairly terribad warlock tree, so people say, but I'm spec'd into it up to Ruin and have found it extremely useful because I shadowbolt everything. 4 X shadowbolts with increased crit damage will take a lot of things down like they're made out of paper.
I've spent a lot of time in the 40-49 bracket recently. With a round-robin set-up for my deathcoil I'm usually pretty good at taking down several people headed straight for me. Although I hate when the odd priest sneaks up on me and scatters my characters.
My biggest problem was patience. I hate letting people come to me... but you're guaranteed to do worse if you charge people. I usually set my toons up in a "1 up front, 3 in back" formation with my main in the middle/back. Then I just rotate my toons and fire off shadowbolts til the cows come home. The key is to have them far enough apart that a fear bomb doesn't destroy everything. This method works extremely well in AB. Between Howl of Terror, Fear, Deathcoil and seduction, I've even managed to take down groups larger than my own on a few occasions. Not without my own losses, mind you.
But anyway, regarding spec... I'm very happy with my destroy/demo combination. I don't even have improved Corruption and I haven't missed it one bit. It's always seemed to me that with a multiboxed lock group, by the time your dots kill stuff, you're probably dead too.
Oh... and regarding the 10-19 bracket. Once I get this group to 70, I'm going to twink out the level 16 hunter group I have. I think twinked level 19 hunters should be fairly game-breaking, hahaha.
yea at lev 19 it doesnt matter what class u got unless they're twinked and boxing in 19 bg's is just do much harder cos u have to worry about ur slaves getting hit and every enemy is either a rogue or a dam hunter XD but personally i enjoyed BG's at lev 19 with my 3 shammys, they all targeted me first and i enjoyed the attention =P
I tried the same thing with my group hen they were 19. It's a waste of time, that bracket.. either you play a rogue or hunter and put 1000g into them or don't even queue. Same goes for 29 and 39, and probably 49. Twinking basically mode the low level brackets a pointless waste of time.
Even at 60, you're a clothy and pretty squishy. The moment you start drain life'ing you draw a giant bunch of lazerbeams at your position.
Your job is to hide behind a tree and throw DoTs, knowing that if and when you die (since you have no healer) you'll take your enemies down with you once the dots reach their duration. ;) You pretty much have to play uber defensively, throwing fears and such when people notice you, while you run for safety.
SL/SL should help at 70 to negate the squishy'ness, and throwing SoC's is the reason why I rolled my locks. :) All the fun stuff is at 70.
