I'm not really raiding with him anymore and started a new blog that focuses more on my real life interests.... music, film and politics. I started that blog as an exercise in daily writing more than anything else. Enjoyed it while I was writing it, but I need to move on to writing my screenplay and blogging about stuff that hits a little more closely to home for me. Anyone know any good, old-fashioned names for a Romanian woman? @Syzygium

Save up the extra 3000 honor or whatever in one night and get the s3 version. Why would you even consider the s1 ring or amulet?

I've been scpecing back and forth between marks and beast and am finding I have a heck of a lot more fun playing marks in BG's than I do BM. Scatter shot, silencing and HUGE aimed shots really help in there and the 337 resilience makes all the difference. Might not have the sustained damaged anymore, but the burst damage makes up for it and a carefully chosen silencing shot is very very satisfying... followed up with a scatter shot of course for maximum caster annoyance. Also been having a blast with improved wing clip. Annoying rogue stunlocking you and taking 24 days to kill you? Trinket. Wing clip. Get to range. Concussive. Serpent sting. Kite. So much fun! Actually busted out the scorpid again. Hate it when the trinket is cooled down! And is it just me, or has anyone else noticed that ret pallies seem to be the vultures of the Battlegrounds? Let the rogues and casters do the damage and then a ret pally suddenly busts in, stuns you and get the killing blow? Just something I noticed over the last week.

My dorf friend, you've come a long way since I first pestered you about PVP. It is worth every penny when it comes down to it as a stat---and remember in 2.4 a percentage of Mana Burn/Drain effects will be reduced based on Resilience (another reason Imp. Stings over Mortal Shots is very key for even BM Hunters). If you still don't believe in Resilience, me (Holy Pally) and a Disc Priest friend ran through 10 Horde at IB GY chokepoint (they knocked us off our mounts), we managed to live and escape into Tower Point tower while being chased by 3 (including 2 Hunters).. with 2 pets chomping on us we still managed to cap Tower Point with good timing of HOJ and AE Fear. Then we killed the 3 attackers when they ran OOM from not being able to kill us (lolsmite, lolpallywings). Not once during the whole thing did we get to drink/eat. 200+ Resilience, nice so far.

PvP gear is for PvP, and PvE gear is for PvE.... Okay, not really. But seriously those are pure pvp shouders and you'll be getting new pve shoulders soon if you don't already have them. I did lol at your break down on geming choices from a few weeks ago, but I'll tell you since concentrating on resilence I've become a lot more survivable in the BGs. I broke 305res this weekend when I met my guilds demands for Archimonde by getting that same trinket. Grats to us both I guess. Now if I can only manage to get 10 arena games in and get the last 6 arena points needed for my S3 pants... Good man for making the choice to get to 300 resilence.

Like I said from the very beginning. Heh. Arena is all about stamina and resilience. It's that simple. The longer you can outlast your opponent the more damage you can do. The medallion is an excellent choice. Now you have 'two' trinkets to get out of CC. The medallion and BW. Had a great week this week. 15-2 in 2's and 11-3 in 3s. I have about 3k arena points that I'm going to try and hold on to until the next season. 50k in honor to get next seasons goodies as well. Rock on man! And now you’re back to the resilience gem.
