Not Really Trying

nrtbanner.pngBM hunter and a Shadow priest. She’s experienced in arenas, we’re not. We anticipate dying with ravenous frequency and amassing a loss-total to rival the 1976 Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

But what the h3ll.

    it seems you are going to play arenas in the “I kill you first” nuke style.

    double dps is lots of fun, but not very forgiving of mistakes.
    things will get alot easier when you both pass the 300 resil mark. I am looking forward to reading about your LOS frustrations.

    its about time you caved… have fun

    lol gl brk, once you stop cussing out LOS and get some resil, then I think you could rock

    Should’ve named your team either “we invented losing” or “Doing the Bucs proud”

    Way to go BRK!

    I took the plunge a while ago as well.

    The 2 things you will learn very quickly…

    1) PvE epics count for just about nothing…. Ok, still better than greens and blues, but with no resilience….

    2) You need to do alot of battlegrounds to get enough honor to get over 150 resiliance before you really have a hope. From that point on it gets alot better. It was a struggle until I got to 200 and then it got much easier.

    On the team side, my 2v2 with my hunter is hunter/SP as well. The nuke style works pretty well, but you will be frustrated at times. Fear, dots, slow traps, etc all = Fun!

    About freakin’ time, you’re only 2+ Seasons behind!

    LOL-enjoy that 1500 rating while it lasts!

    Seriously, as a consistently pummeled but still scrappy arena BM hunter, I am VERY interested on hearing your post-mortems of this team’s arena fights.

    And BRK arena movies with play-by-play would be the bee’s knees.

    I need the help!

    Heh, I kind of suck with Arena, I usually die within the first 30 seconds. I hope you do well BRK!

    Haha, nice name BRK. Sounds something like the team I made on my mage with a prot warrior - “Surprised if we win”. Currently languishing in the high 1300s =D

    As for tips, I suppose if possible get the enemy to be targetting you, as if the priest is being attacked much he is going to lose a lot of dps where as you at least have some armour (gogo english spelling) and the ability to kite on your side.

    Thats all well and good.. but what happened to you doing more videos? The Big Red Kitty test bed series started out so well, with the promise of more video that just needed editing.. I started a hunter too, though night elves just dont have that cool factor. Anyway, we want more videos

    Good luck BRK!!

  12. Gamermommy on January 27th, 2008 8:55 am

    Good luck to you! Those first few matches can be painful.

    Have Fun!

    Your mention of the 1976 Bucs brings to mind one of the great football coach quotes of all time.

    Late in that season, Coach McKay was asked what he thought of his team’s execution.

    He said ” I’m For It!”

    Ohhhhh dear.

    Maybe people will lose to you on purpose, because they recognize the BRK name?

    Myself (BM Hunter), my wife (MM Hunter) and another hunter in my guild (Survival Hunter) are going to start a 3v3 team and call ourselves “The Huntardians”.

    Could be fun.
