Updates: The plox brothers are level 25. Been through SFK at 24 (Didn't realise untill it was too late that all the mobs within would be green) and WC at 20, caught both runs on tape and am in the process of editing the footage together to look decent.

In regards to PVP:

I scored my first one-button kill earlier tonight. I almost fell out of my chair laughing, I don't think I'd ever seen someone go down to just a frostshock. (admittedly, it was 5, but that still doesn't remove any of the amusement factor!) I can't wait for the toys I'll be getting as I progress.

I'm pretty sure now I'm just dying for lack of HP (which, in turn, is a gear thing.) My lead keeps going down almost before I realise anything's nearby. I can take two at a time, even with the lead going down by the time the first enemy is at 50%. This is more difficult against hunters, who tend to hit me from beyond my field of vision, and who's pets eat up my first tab-target. I've actually managed to pull a few pets off myself with stoneclaw totem, which makes me laugh every time.

I'm noticing a big improvement in my reactionary skills against melee, now. Earthbind totems and fire novas are ripping it up for me, as are the 5x frost shocks :P In fact, it seems that aside from the occasional "lolhe'swearingcloth" ambushing rogue, most melee die pretty quickly. People dancing around is forcing me to learn how to aim the drones, which is a good thing. My biggest issue is over-correcting at the moment, due mostly to the inavoidable lag that happens between clients (I'm watching on my leader's screen and aiming that way, since I need to focus on so much of the stuff on that UI.)

I can see how picking up elemental mastery is going to boost my PVP viability - having a controlled burst I'll have access to is going to be priceless. I'm going to have to restrain myself immensely to not pop it the instant it's up every time it's up, so I can save my ass when I need to :P I've got to learn to spend GCD's on purge, as well. You'd think I'd know this much already, because I was PVPing on my enhancement shaman back before Nax came out, but it's been so long since I played her I'm learning everything all over again XD


The main thing that keeps dragging me down, of course, is my leader going down. I'm in the process of setting up Boyl's macro now, going to give it a run for a few AB's - hoping to eventually win one, since it's worth EXP for me. I also need to figure out the PiP switching. I'll poke around the FAQ's and see if I can't get it working.
