Hey! That’s My Cat!

BRK » 23 July 2007 » In PvP »

We came in five minutes after it started, missed the “Galv or No Galv” screaming, and got involved in the battle for Iceblood Graveyard when, for no discernible reason other than he was Bestial Wrathed and murdering his third squishy…

They killed Hobbes.

The entire horde offensive went for our cat and brutally slew him. Seriously, the whole d@mn lot of em just went nuts and jumped Hobbes like he was the Queen in a Mel Brooks movie. Of course, this left the rest of the alliance offensive free to pound them into the ground, but still! We were outraged and decided to kill pets ourselves. We smacked down a ravager, two boars, and a warlock’s doggie.

It hurt our kills-stat, but we felt better. Much, actually.

    Dunno about you, but in a BG where I am about get raped by the other side, typically because I get left defending the front lines while everyone else backs away, I hit back hard first. I drop a trap, then rotate targets within range and use Serpent Sting on the DPS classes and Viper Sting on any mage or priests - priests have first priority if I see them. If I am still alive after that, I mess any priests I can up in hopes that I stop him from healing anyone too quick.

    This has earned me a big ol’ bullseye in some AV runs and I have had up to 15 people chase me in the oppisite direction of their main forces after doing so a couple times. I have found that they don’t care about my pet in those situations, but want me deader than anything.

    Back to the pets though, yes… mess with the pet, and yous gonna die. I am not ubergeared yet, but I will keep coming back with Menchi and I will kill you whatever the class, whatever the spec, and whatever the gear. Its taken more than three rezzes before, but I’ll get the punk(s).

    Completely justified.

    Send Hobbes over for a little R&R, he probably deserves it. I hope he didn’t break any nails.

    Over the weekend I played a few of the WSG in the 10-19 bracket. A few of the games I topped the damage done and that got me in trouble it seems. Halkale isn’t a twink and doesn’t have a ton of HP like twinks do. I set my boar Howdy on agressive because he finds stealthy folks and he can run around and gore all sorts of folks. WOOT! (yes I know he needs to be controlled when in instances and he will be)

    Apparently a decent geared hunter who appears on the top of the damage scoreboard is loved by all.

    BTW, Howdy is a great goretusk from Redridge. My second pet I’ve headed deep into Alliance territory to grab. I am going back one day to get Bellygrub because he killed me twice as I was trying to get my boar tamed.

    Sounds like someone took that beastial wrath tool tip about not being able to stop unless they’re dead pretty seriously…

    It’s been such a long time since I’ve done an AV, but I remember it as a place to go in and get 2 to 3 hundred kills in maybe an hour or two. You’re topping the chart with ELEVEN kills?

    Did they change something? Or are teams fighting each other less and just going for the win as fast as possible these days? I would go to see for myself, but with such little honor kills to be had it hardly seems worth it.

    Yeah, some of the hardcore PVPers in my guild have been saying that there’s been a much greater tendency to go for the win right away instead of brawling for a bit along the way. Sounds like of disappointing.

    Over AV weekend, if you can avoid the AFKers or get in a a full raid for queue, then it is chaos and the kills are insane, and typically you win. If you join solo, odds are that you boned becaused WoW doesn’t seem to care about AFKers anymore - last AV weekend have 35%-50% of the Horde as afk, and almost as many for the alliance.

  9. Rizzah on July 23rd, 2007 4:28 pm

    You called it guy … the honor you get per kill is low enough compared to the bonus honor you get for taking objectives .. people just rush for the win, and for the horde … rush for the quick loss. (I’ve been in 3 games the Horde has won since BC)

  10. BRK on July 23rd, 2007 4:40 pm

    This AV was over in 27 minutes. It was a rush-job on both sides. We topped the total-damage chart, but not the total kills. There’s a whole bunch of high-health NPCs that require killin’, at which we are exceptionally proficient.

    If there was more alliance-horde contact, both sides would’ve had more kills. But there was no defense on either side past Iceblood.

    We love to remember the days when AVs would last hours. Dying 15-20 times but having 300 or more kills was typical. Breaking out the druids and trying to summon our elite…

    OMG!! It was Warp Splinter! It’s the same guy, isn’t it? Ivus the Tree Lord IS Warp Splinter!

    Pet chow aint cheap!
    Specially since the 2.1 patch where pets learned to read. Now i gotta ton of “made in china” pet chow that the furbags won’t touch…

    My solution for raising loyalty for a new pet without goin bonkers with chow costs?

    BGs. Every time ya come back from the grave, the pet gets full happiness. Something about seeing you lying there dead makes em forget their bellies for a second…. Over two days of non stop pvp, you can get a few loyalty levels…

    BRK cannot guard towers. We have no range and as basically worthless in those situations. Rogues rule towers and are extremely effective in a role capturing or guarding them.

    BRK delivers massive quantites of sustained, ranged DPS. We are perfectly suited to destroying the high-health NPCs that wander the roads and inhabit Drek’s fortress. Thus, we do just that.

    A rogue and hunter on offense doing their primary jobs will usually have the same magnitude of kills, but the hunter should have a ton more total damage.

    BRK does not like to compare total damage among classes, but is happy to see how he stacks up against the other hunters.
