Giving up on pvp...Follow

Alliance pugs are awful. Even trying to heal at outdoor PVP a lot of people wont return the favour, not realising that by putting a little effort into keeping your hide intact means that they too keep going that bit longer. Your better of trying to get a few people together before going in and going over a few points. I know that healing not only can turn a battle for the flag but puts you on the opp factions hit list(whis is kind of an honour i suppose). Too many glory hounds and not enough people willing to work toward the bigger picture. I see we win AV when people actually stay and guard the captured graveyards. Arathi Basin when instead of holding points or going turtle, people are willing stay as a token force to draw the horde in whilst others flank a newly took horde node.

Just trying to say that not enough alliance are willing to put the team ahead of themselves, random strangers at least. As for lvl70 BG's i couldnt say as i have been a bit busy to do them.

It varies at lvl 70. Sometimes you get a competent team and sometimes you get a God-awful team. It really just depends when you play them, although competent teams are much more in evidence at 70 than I had seen previously.

I am still giving up on PvP however, because although my gear is not that bad I get consistently beat down. For some reason it seems that paladins are the target as repeatedly I am the one picked out from a group, unless there's more than one paladin where you might get lucky. Maybe they see sword and board and think Holy, I dunno.

It's a good idea to stay waaaay back and heal, if that's what you wanna do. Myself, I do suicide runs into the enemy with Avenger's Shield and Consecration spam. Hammer of wrath if necessary. Much more fun <3

Yeah, PUGging MC or Ony was never that much fun either.

Seriously, they're a lot the same. The best way to play BG's is to play with a good team, preferably one you've played with before. They'll be thrilled to be getting your heals, and you'll be thrilled when that rogue that just sapped you turns into a sheep (or just blows up). When you go into a PuG BG, everybody is usually out for themselves. The ones that weren't gave up PuGging, like you seem to be, after a very short time.

Why would you be a Blood Elf (race) Pally (class) for any other reason than their race or class? O_o That's what they are, a combination of a race and a class...

Oh, and it's not like you can roll Pallies of multiple races when you're Horde. :P

Aaaah, yes, indeed I misunderstood.

And to be honest, when I was on my Alliance Druid I would favor killing Blood Elves... but then again it's like 95% of the Horde in the lower levels are Blood Elves anyway.

And yeah, they may be FotM indeed. It makes me QQ a lot when I see so many pretend-Pallies...

Oh well, level 50 now. Soon there won't be too many idiots running around. *crosses fingers*

I agree that holy spec is enjoyable in pvp, if your team back you up.
If they understand that by keeping you alive, they live longer too.
But in my career of pvp that has never been the case, to many glory hounds or simply put idiots.
Guess ill go with premades at 70.

True, paladin is the hardest class to defeat quickly. But thats not what the others are saying. A general strategy is to go after the healers first. Well since your there in your shiny armor and false bravado, the little hordies go "Hmmmmmm... a great healer with with high armor and high health. Yea, you gotta go down buddy." Cause I'm tellin ya man, when you got 10 locks, mages, and hunters staring you down and ready to burst the **** out of you in the matter of seconds, you best be as holy as Jesus or your SCREWED.



QFT. BE's are the one thing tellin me that Blizz prefers Alliance over Horde. Poor hordies have their image tainted with these species, where you cant even tell if its a man or woman.

(I am not trying to offend any gay people. Unless your transfestite. WTF I dont even know how to spell that...)

I've gotta say... Blizzard likes Horde more than Alliance, easy. The big reason for Draeni shammys and BE pally's is because people complained. A lot.

I've got proof, though. Play through WC3 until the end, FT or normal, and there's a song at the end.

Power of the Horde

There is no

Power of the Alliance

song. Blatant favoritism.
