Hahaha, that’s been my experience with priests. They’re like water: deadly and untouchable.

When I was leveling my baby priest, I always felt like she’d make a great pvp character since she has all these spells to annoy others. And that’s the key to success in PvP (IMO, of course): annoying others.

This rocks on so many levels. I remember one of the first times I won a pvp fight. I was genuinely surprised! I’m such a pvp-n00b.

This post made me laugh, great job. It’s true, even on a PvP server, gankers aren’t really good at ganking.

On my priest I just fear them, throw up DoTs and run away like a little girl. They end up too busy chasing me to see that their health is dropping.

You actually don’t get attacked very often on PvP servers. I can probably count the number of times I’ve been attacked in my year and a half of PvP servering on my fingers. I think almost everyone looks at world PvP as hassle, kind of like killing mobs to reach a quest item. So unless you run into a really bored person, you mostly get left alone.

Haha, oops! I always get out of the way after I kill someone (well, the rare times I kill someone).

I remember this one time, a lowbie kept taunting and mocking me in Booty Bay. Since he was asking to be killed, I killed him and corpse camped him for a bit. The entire time, all I was thinking “any second, he’s going to show up with his main and all his friends…” But for whatever reason, he didn’t. To this day, I don’t understand it.

Ow I’ve always wanted to try a pvp realm, especially walking around in full arena gear lawl
But, yeah, pve it’s always been and even though my holidan is in arena gear and I find it fun to pvp, not sure i’d like it constantly interrupting my gameplay.

Maybe I’d feel different if I didnt just utterly suck at dps. Or had rolled a rogue.

So this one time, I popped out of a BG on my mage (I play on a PvE server), and I noticed I’d been hit with Living Bomb, at first I thought something spell reflected me, then I turned around to see this belf mage throwing stuff at me…
A battle of epic proportions ensued, I won.

Then he got his main…

What a fun read, Ophelie. I’ve never actually been ganked before, but after reading this, I almost wish I had just so I’d have a fun story to tell!

Just report him again!

I think Blizzard only interferes with a name if someone complains and I’ve heard stories of people just reusing the same name. With my Jizzin guy, even if he kept his name, I don’t care. The important thing is that he was probably inconvenienced for a few minutes, which is exactly what I was going for.
