I recently hit 85 on my DK. With only running 2 accounts the past many months my multiboxing has been quite limited. So has my time to even play the game. As many IRC regulars can tell you I've been pretty damn close to being done with WoW. But it's always something that draws me back in. The past couple of weeks I've been doing 2v2 on my Shadow Priest and Frost Mage. I haven't boxed them, I'm just pugging from trade chat for points until I can get a bit more gear.

I figured since I've got 2 melee toons I can run together, why not? So I setup some very rudimentary (read: Bad) macros for button spamming (cause that's how pvp pros do it amirite?) and leveled up Blacksmithing so I could make 2 sets of the Bloodied Pyrium set. My expectations are really, really low. I'm not going to be a 2v2 hero or anything. I'm just aiming to blow up some people in 2v2 if I can and maybe get some gear.

So both toons are ~1200-1300 Res. Only 1 has a stun / fear trinket. The Paladin is rocking the 333 CoC Weapon. Death Knight has the 2H axe from Ozumat in Heroic Throne of Tides. I qued up Sunday and just got rocked. I lost probably 7 or 8 matches. Some where kinda close, where I'd lose one, but manage to kill one of the other team as well. It was a decent starting point. I was actually really discouraged and didn't think I was going to be able to even win a match until I could get some honor gear. I really need to go back and tweak my specs. I'm certain I'm not specced too well for PvP.

Monday night I had some unexpected free time so I decided to que up and see what happened. I ended up losing a few matches that were *really* close. Then I won one. That first win I almost screamed. The wife came into my office giving me funny looks. Then I got rolled the very next match, then I won the next 4. It was really awesome and probably a lot of blind running luck, but I won and got my points capped. With the Honor change with the 4.1 patch it should be easier to get a bit of gear before I que up again. But at least I've got the conquest points started. Even though I went 5-14, I consider it a victory since I was able to get point capped. I'll keep gearing up and hopefully I can get capped again this week. I'll post an update after my next round of matches, until then it's time to tweak some macros and fix some keymaps and grind some honor.
