5 X Warlocks and ass kicked in WSG

[blast3r]

Holy crap how demoralizing yesterday was! I took my level 18 locks into WSG and it was total pwnage in a bad way. i don't even think I was able to get a full set of DoTs off. After the third wipe straight I just /quit. Not sure I will be taking my locks to BG for a while. OUCH! I'm sure it was partially do to mainly having crappy trash armor but locks are just soft and gooey anyways.

Just thought I would share my pain with the group. /cry

Could you do a fear rotation to try to get people off you? Like:
(alt 2/4) /castsequence [target=focus-target] reset=10 Fear, , , , , , ,
(alt 3) /castsequence [target=focus-target] reset=10 , Fear, , , , , ,
(alt 5) /castsequence [target=focus-target] reset=10 , , Fear, , , , , ,
(main) /castsequence reset=10 , , , Fear, , , , , , , , ,

The first one is cast by 2 people incase one fails (main idea is to get someone off you now, no matter what). Main goes last, since has probably got a rogue stunlocking him. Sure is fear immune after about 3 casts, and last one lasts for like 1-2 sec, but you can cast DOTs in between fears to get DPS on him.

Not sure what you can do about being AOE feared, just use distance to minimize it. Throw pets at 50+ yards and let them eat at the people so you don't even have to get close to them. If they try to attack your pets, get 30 yards, put on 2 DOTs and then 20 yards, heal pet, fear and hope for the best.

What exactly (other than they destroyed you), did they do? Can you fight with your main dead? Does soulstoning your main (5 stones) help at all? Do you use healthstones and potions (can they be used together?)? What bothered you the most, other than people twinking?

It was mainly them being grouped and just overwhelming me. I can switch mains but they were dying so fast it didn't really matter. Think maybe I will instance grind to 29 and give it another shot. At least then I will have some decent gear. I do have a round-robin fear but am going to consider yours. Seems like a great idea! Thanks for that!

Yea, that range of pvp is horrible. Everyone twinks and its not fun at all, when I'm solo I always skip that area, and I did the same with my boxes.

[Mendicant]

So others have said, don't expect to do well at all in the 19 or 29 bracket. They will be filled with twinks. Even the 39 bracket will have plenty. The twinks will have about 5-10x your health and do double your damage. Not really good.

Personally, after I played 1 game at 19, I just waited til I was in the 50s bracket to try again. The higher the bracket the fewer the twinks.

[Lyonheart]

I went in there when my shamaies were 19. I charged down our GY and headed straight for the center! I saw 4+ horde coming out their tunnel. I put down totems in front of me and backed up a tad. When the first target was in ranged i opened up with a volley of LBs, all bolts hitting him for a total of 25% of his health, he resisted a few of the next round and was at 50ish% health. He seemed to be laughing as his team caught up to mine and took me out and a flurry of blades and spells. I /afked and never went back until 70 8)

Don't feel bad. Someday twink yourself out some 19s and go back and PWN face. To kill twinks you must become like them...TWINK!

Warlocks in the 10-19 WSG are fun especially if you're a twinked rogue :P i had a semi-twinked rogue @ 19 for a while, i was oneshotting any leather/cloth class below level 16

Lvl 19 BG is not really a good way to test out the pvp.

You were most likely not even in full greens, missing rings, no trinkets, necklaces, etc.

Everyone else is fully twinked, enchanted gear.

Literally 1 rogue can kill all 5 of your locks, no problem if he is twinked to the max.


My advice is to have fun world pvping until 39, then go try that out in the BG's. I think you should see a much different result.

[glo]

I skipped all BGs until 70. You aren't going to get much honor out of it at lower levels and getting owned by twinks probably isn't all that fun so really no point. At 70 it's much harder to run across a character that can take out your whole boxing squad ;)
