fury of PVP
And now a World of Warcraft update. What's new? Well WoW is different that other RPG's ive played online. I find while sure at times I can go overboard and play it and what not its still just as easy to pass it by for awhile and dive back in and pay no real pentalty. One thing WoW does is that the more time you are away and not playing the more of an xp boost you get when you do come back in game. And that xp boost fades off eventually but its a nice little feature though.
So anyways I've been playing with my Warlock, Forkus.. all is good..
Lately I've really been getting into PVP. I dunno why really, but I never liked PVP in AC2 or EQ... but in WoW, its fun. Sure theres moments of badness, downtime and what not but as a warlock, casting multiple curses on people is a lot of fun. Other classes have to engage one target at a time.. hell me, I can curse five or so people at a time, its a blast.
Last night I banded together with some fellow horde members and attempted to strike back at the alliance in a fairly newbish town. Its a dance really, they own you, you own them back and forth. I just love the little moments.
At one point the Alliance had taken most of an outpost called Splintree. They were carefully avoiding the level 55 wind ride master, (an angy bad ass orc). One of the alliance members carefully walked into the area and attempted to rez a fallen commrade. I stood there a sec watching all of them. It was me and a few other horde members.. currently we hadnt engaged them so our PVP tags werent lit meaning they couldn't tag us.. or in that particular case - ganked us. We were easily outmatched at that moment.
But then I couldn't resist. I thought for a sec while the human priest began casting his ressurection spell. Typically a long spell to cast and what not... I thought. Hmmm Curse of Demon Tongues would tripple his cast time as he would be forced to speak in demon.. that'd be funny. Better yet though at the last minute I decided to fear him.
Fear lands and the priest fails to resist it and runs dead center into Horde town.. in fact runs right by the wind ride master and argos a few other npc orcs... I get time to chuckle about 30seconds before i'm beaten to a pulp for doing that. The guy trying to get rezzed decides to respawn instead.. lol.
More PVP action occurs.. this time we got the Alliance on the run, headed back to their side of zone so to speak. A human rogue vanishs for a split second going into stalk mode, still having in on target lock, i toss a curse while running toward him. I love insta-cast spells. I have multiple types.. very fun. My imp takes him as a target and starts blastin. A human mage comes up behind me, I curse of demon tongues him while my imp finishes off the rogue... then when the mage is down a bit in health, i curse him twice and life siphon him.. then fear him into the woods argoing mobs on him. Thats gotta be a nice feeling, cursed with two damage over time curses, life siphoned giving 15hp to me every tick and then being feared into a zone of hostile mobs just waitin for something to come across their path. Despite dying, its moments like that, that make PVP in WoW so damn fun.
Oh yah and occasionally I'll play Badcow my Warrior... its hard to go caster and then go sheer melee at times...
