(Story time! I loves mah stories)
So there I was on Wednesday night, my shamans all glowing with their lightning shield/windfury weapon, sitting AFK infront of a tree. In the middle of cooking dinner my fiance yells out "You're getting attacked!" to which I reply "mmmm oh well". I finish up making dinner (Chicken and bacon carbonara for those interested, was so tasty) and sit down to see two of my shamans dead and an alliance sitting dead infront of me.
me - "Uhh .... what did you do?"
her - "Mashed 2."
me - "Grats, you can now multibox"
A few quests later and I had dinged 57, so I decided to take my herd of cows to EPL for some questing fun. Before WPL/EPL the only pvp I had partaken in was in STV at about level 35, against 3 alliance who logged 70's to come back and camp me so I wasn't too overjoyed at the thought of being camped again.
As I got to the outskirts of the neutral town in EPL a 70 rogue in what looked to be T6 jumps off his mount and stealths behind my cows. Time to leg it!
I spend as much time as possible in the town, repairing, sorting bags, clearing out old quests, buying reagents. I know this rogue is still waiting for me to come out to gank me, so I decide to fly to UC to hand in a quest. 10 minutes later and I'm back in EPL with 40% of the level to go (RAF is crazy..), and now it's time to start farming annoying mobs to release the spirits of some dead guys. Joy!
One of the things I forgot to get, being an ele shaman with crazy (At the time) mana regen, was water! So I've cleared out the camp, twice, and need to drink. Nom nom nom along comes a mage who's first thought is to frost nova me. Wrong!
Pop Elemental Mastery, for those that don't know next damage spell is 100% chance to crit and free and I have the tallent to increase crit damage done by 100%, frost nova wears off and que lightning bolts. For someone my level they would have been dead in 3 hits, alas this was a 70. 2 got resisted and 3 went through, so he's now sitting on about 1/4th HP. Blinks away, iceblocks and his paladin friend starts healing him up.
That doesn't go down too well with me, so I start charging my lasers at the paladin, who promptly bubbles and runs. At this time the mage is on full hp and mana (evo) so he decides to have another shot at me. It's funny to see a mage try attack when he's been hit with 5 earthshocks, followed closely by 5 lightning bolts.
Mage - 0
Zapcows - 1
This is the first time I've attacked someone who shows up as ??. Such a good feeling to know that they are most likely regretting attacking the lowbie.
Questing along, I need 4000 more XP to ding 58 so I grab a quick quest (which turned out to be on the other side of EPL ... running quests, oh how I hate thee) and notice the mage running straight for me again. So I pretend to run away, looking backwards on my main until he's close enough to twoshot. Elemental mastery earthshock to the face then a lightning bolt to follow up.
Mage - 0
Zapcows - 2
Luckily he died right next to the graveyard, so was instantly back up and trying to gank another horde standing next to me.
And then he fell over
Mage - 0
Zapcows - 3
And gets back up again, in range of the guards to sit and drink.
At which stage I get bored and go run off to complete my quest and head into outlands.
I'm not a big fan of PvP, but when it happens it's so fun multiboxing it! I do believe I'm going to need to set up a macro at 70, which casts Elemental mastery, natures swiftness then either chain lightning or lightning bolt (depending on player numbers) and yell "Pain train!" then do /train.
So corny, but bloody hell the amount of damage you can do is rediculous.
