PvP

Nothing special.

So my ret pally and my resto druid are fun in pvp. Prot pally is not. Feral druid and balance druid are not. Khour and Moon have two level 30ish toons they are playing and ONLY leveling in battlegrounds. I'm thinking I'm going to level my mage Susanin this way. First catch her up to them and then level in BG's. Use the pally and druid to farm stonekeeper shards and buy stuff for her. Etc.

Except there is kind of this debate between me and them. I think that my level 35 warrior would be just as useful in a bg to their Shaman, Lock team as the mage. I mean sure the mage has the AoE ice freeze and sheep and slow on -everything- icy she casts... but the warrior has charge/intercept/stun and an AoE fear and can remove fear/sap/incapacitate via zerker rage.

I was contemplating taking my Tankadin into Alterac Valley, but you say Prot Pallies are no fun in PvP?

At 64 I successfully defended Honor Hold against two Horde in their low 60s, one a Pally, one a Death Knight. Actually it was just the Pally at first but I think he realized immediately that I was a Protadin and he wouldn't be able to kill me (which meant he'd be the one dying) so he ran just as the Death Knight dropped in.

Together they may have been able to take me but the Pally wasn't coming back to try and the DK wasn't smart enough to realize he couldn't beat an Indestructible Tankadin, and so he died while the Pally ran for his life.

I'm running as Ret now at 70 after having picked up Ingvar's Cleaver (from UK), mostly because my mate (a DK) is the better Tank. He did AV at 70 and tanked Drek and I'm really jealous because that's I've wanted to do that for a long time. It was a fast AV, too. He went in while I ran a few DPS tests on the Dummy, and it seemed just minutes later that he earned the AV Victory Achievement.

But you say Protadins are no fun in PvP? Is it because you're going up against over-geared people who cut through your armor like it's Cloth (or paper)? Or something else? Were you doing Arenas? or BGs? And which ones?

Fun is very very subjective :p.

Comparing prot with ret: I like the distant stun/sap. I do miss the ranged silence but that is more than made up for by the burst I get. I like the running boost from ret. Survivability was about the same... I guess that comes from higherups cutting through my armor like paper as you said... dunno.

In both specs I wore exactly the same armor...the only difference was I had a shield in prot. The gear I was/am wearing is still on my paladin so you can see what it is for thoughts.

I prefer prot for soloing though.

In the end its just a matter of taste. For example: Rogues are not fun to play at all. :P

RAMBLY Political Responses.

Sub-Teach, On monday, I had about 80% of this written as a reply to your comment before I figured I should just drop it into a post. Yay for thought spam from simple commentary. To be clear: I'm not anti-our-current-president. I didn't like his solution for the recession(the bailout(which was started by our previous president)) but I'm certainly not blaming the recession on him. I understand that it was my dear party that thought you could spend AND cut taxes at the same time. I'm not really in favor of the way in which the other party wants to extend the tax cuts(cutting some and not others). I would rather we let all of the tax cuts expire and everyone equally paid a little bit more. BUT I'm really not happy with the idea that we can extend all of them when we are in record levels of national debt, which is what my party espouses. No our current president didn't have much time to fix the economy...and any good/harm he did probably won't be evident

A post!

So Beowulfa recieved the Burning Crusade as one of her many christmas presents. As a side note, she also recieved a picture of a chick with a pet lion. Sort of like Angharad. Anyways, we're poking Drenai characters in a "ooo that would be cool" kind of way. Since it was her birthday present and all... and if the characters were not BElf or Spacegoat then it wouldn't be using the present! So we're going to at least get them to 10. And BElf's are too... pretty in an ugly way. I don'ts like them. She doesn't like them(much?). I said Spacegoat. She quickly created a male drenai priest(this morning). We talked about it at lunch and she's going to make a paladin instead, I think. I slightly warned her off of priest because I've heard they solo about as well as a warrior heals. I'm.... undecided. We have warrior, paladin, mage, priest, shaman, hunter. I've been told I need to be something tankish. So mage and priest are gone. I'm definin
