I had a little dabble of pvping and 29 and 39, but had no fun whatsoever, partly due to crappy macros, inexperience and twink dominated opposition.
I've been pvping at 69 for a while now, with much improved success. Even managed to bump into a 3 box priest team from another server in our battlegroup (don't remember your name, but I'll hunt you down and /w you later matey).
One thing I've noticed in particular is the difference between skilled and non skilled players. The non skilled guys will just charge into you and get eaten alive. Decide it's not worth it, then back off or run away for the rest of the game. Others, you can see them thinking as they stare at your totem field. I don't want to publiscise these tactics too much, but the following works very well vs me:
1) Intelligent rogues, who use sap and blind to cause some chaos in my team and focus dps on one char. And the one who kept sapping one of my chars while they were all mounted and running to a tower in EOTS was annoying as hell, took me out of the game for 3 minutes. Next time that happens I'll just sacrifice the sapped one and carry on regardless. Wound me up a lot though.
2) Hit and run. Characters that pull your whole team away from a flag and are in partnership with another who sneaks in behind to cap while they keep you busy. I need to learn to save the NS/Chain Lightning for these guys![]()
3) Mages and Locks who know and understand what totems are and what they do, particularly those with totem wand macros are MUCH more effective against me than those who constantly try to poly or howl of terror on me.
4) Anyone who takes the opportunity to slow/fear me while I am mounted whithout totems, again, takes me out of the game for up to 1 minute.
5) People with a decent understanding of general game mechanics. My 4 man team can steamroll virtually any defence to cap a tower or flag, but the intelligent guys understand that because I'm at Fel Reaver popping all my cooldowns, Mage Tower is empty or virtually empty, so if they sneak down there to cap it, they effectively cancel out the gain I'm making.
Any tips from other players to counter the above apprectiated![]()
