You didn't assault any bases though. EOTS is where its at, most fun BG imo.

Seaweed....

You're playing in the 79 bracket, where the majority of people are playing in Season 3 gear and random WOTLK blues, it appears you also went and dropped a few thousand gold in the auction house buying the level 79 Cataclysm greens which have like 320 stamina and 140+ crit rating and haste rating...

So yeah bro, good job on dropping drastically overpowered gear on a frost mage and farming people doing the BG for experience by stables

aaaaand for the blubies:

Random WOTLK gear on a warrior in the 79 bracket would net him
  • 20000 HP
  • 16% crit
  • 4000 AP

Cataclysm greens on a mage in the 79 bracket:
  • 56,000 HP
  • 42% crit
  • 8000 SP

So he's running around dropping 12k ice lances on targets while he sits back and tanks people 1v7 because he's overtwinked

Everyone in WoW bottomfeeds. I remember when WotLK came out and 75/80 people in a lower bracket AV were paladins or DK's.

I twinked (as much as can be done) the garbage out of a rogue at the top of the 69 bracket and went on rampages. It's really fun for a while.

But what's really lacking in Slippery's stats is captures and defends.

http://us.battle.net/wow/en/characte...atistic#21:153

His BG batting average is about .500, and that's not terrible. Not great though. Dangit. I couldn't bring up the stats on my old chars because they've been inactive for way too long.

Anyhow, IIRC, my rogue's AB ratio was something like 75%, and I never did organized ABs. The keys are knowing when to fight and when to pursue objectives as opposed to just stomping people for fun (which often causes you to lose the match because the other team is busy capping flags and bases).

Eots makes me sick. By far the worst designed. fuckin pos purple BG.

I have played since Vanilla tho, off and on.

Most recently tho I started back with Cata and was 85 the first day. Missed first 85 rogue by an hour or so on my server. Got burned out and haven't played since.

If they ever make rogues look something other than complete shit. I'd probably resubscribe and actually PvP some more.

Mage pvp has been pretty easy since release, and it isn't hard to sit back and rack up KBs as one. I'd like to see you do it as a rogue or paladin lol.

Most fun I've had PvPing with a class is Druid, just so many different play styles it doesn't get boring as fast.

Rogue:
  • Stealth
  • Cheat Death
  • Evasion
  • Dismantle
  • Kidney shot
  • Sap
  • Gouge
  • Recup
  • Shadowdance
  • CoS
  • Blind
  • Cheap Shot

How do you NOT get kills as a rogue? The class pretty much has over a dozen CC abilities built in and several defensives that can completely nullify any incoming damage and is one of the EASIEST classes to PvP with because of the sheer amount of of escapability and stopping power

Sap > CS/ambush > backstab spam> Kidney > more spam > gouge > more spam

Rinse and repeat

Four or five weeks after I started playing WoW in Vanilla (my first char was a hunter), I played my friends' 60 undead rogue for an hour or two doing Tarren Mill/Southshore PvP. After a short 15 minute learning curve to figure out what the abilities did, I was already demolishing most of the other players.

Later on, when BGs came out, I was easily one of the highest ranked in every BG (except AV, which is slightly more difficult for rogues without organization), even though I never played a rogue on my own account.

Rogues just have too much control - particularly against most cloth/leather (not mages). Resto shamans were another easymode kill.

Abacab provided the cruise control version of rogues:

Quote:
Sap > CS/ambush > backstab spam> Kidney > more spam > gouge > more spam
With good gear, you can kill most average to below average players this way.

But you can have even more fun with this little rotation, esp if you know the person doesn't use their trinket or has already used it:

CS > mutilate > Kidney shot > Mutilate > Evisc > blind > re-stealth > Sap for DR timers > Maybe re-sap for a little extra time > CS > Mutilate > Kidney shot > Mutilate > Evisc

You can throw in a vanish/Ambush or a number of other moves situationally.

There are similar class-based combos if you know how to use Evasion/CoS/Shadowstep/Dismantle(Resto shaman without a shield = lolz damage)/Etc that entirely throw them off their game. Dismantling a hunter was plain hilarious.

I dunno though, I haven't PvPed in Cataclysm. Maybe rogues suck. But I doubt it.
