Yeah I hit 70 on Thursday or Friday and started doing some AV on Saturday. The first match I was in was non stop getting picked on (not necessarily about us losing but dumber stuff like "OMG you waste so much money" etc etc). Not only that but at least 5 people were just following me around doing nothing.
Combine that with it being my first AV, and I got stomped a lot and didn't do very well.
Well the next match everyone shut up about me multiboxing and played the game, and I had learned quite a bit from the first game, and we actually won. I wiped ally on galv so many times they just gave up and left him alive and moved on.
Of course, ever since then I run straight to galv when the match starts and no less than 20 alliance all show up at the same time, causing me to die quite quickly.
Either way now I feel like I'm making a decent difference in AV - I can solo balinda super easy now as long as no alliance show up. 5x grounding + bloodlust + bloodfury + trinket + EM = bal down without getting hit. Once she drops the water elemental I can either keep dropping groundings and risk getting hit or 1 shot her water elemental and then keep shooting her. Either way my groundings absorb everything.
I had someone come in and help me kill bal on one match and he was just like "Holy shit 5 shamans is crazy". Now whenever I join matches I get random talk about "Group <whatevergroupI'min> is Epic" and "awesome 5 shamans again" and random whispers about "I love it when I see you in the battleground".
I can't even imagine how awesome it will be when I'm in a full mix of S2/S3/S4 (assuming that happens before wotlk).
