WoW is frustrating me

[thistlechaser]

Druid 23. It got somewhat better at 20 (when I hit things, now they eventually die! Yay!), but I still take damage way too quickly, especially if I have more than one mob on me. Oddly (and sadly) the only effective questing I can do are green quests. Now and then I successfully do one at my own level, but generally I die endlessly on them. I boggle at how much I die. Thank god I can't delevel.

PS: Prowl should be 100% effective.

On my main, I wasted 28 days for nothing. Stupid Argent Tournament. I can't joust at all, so I figured I'd do the 'kill 10 scourge' daily quest for 25 days and get the 25 seals I need that way (three missed days in the middle of that). Got my 25 seals, tried to turn them in... and I have to beat some champ to level up. BLAH. I went 1/200 on beating the three little ones you have to do (and note that's 1/200, not 3/200, I never totally succeeded, only killed one of the three). I haven't even bothered trying to kill the champ yet, since I'm sure he'll be harder than the three little ones... being champ and all...

All in all: Blah.

Are you actually trying to stay in the ring? You don't have to stay in the wooden ring, I'm not sure what the distance is, but I've had some epic battles in the Champion's Ring that have seen me near the Argent Ring.

And I forgot to mention it in my initial post, but Pomr mentioned it: Even if you have three shields up, hit the shield button when you can. My typical thing goes Charge > Shield Breaker > Shield Yourself > Poke > Poke > Poke > Lather > Rinse > Repeat.

I'll link that video to you when I get it done. =p I'm going to do it this weekend.

And I will admit that I had trouble with this when I first started doing them, my other co-worker eventually explained how to do it and it's worked for me ever since.

Oh, and for the one that you have to joust the lieutenants and such? Once you become champion, grab Threat from Above, Battle at the Citadel, and the Valiant's version of Battle at the Citadel that I can't recall the name of, all at the same time. There's always a shout for Threat from Above, just join that and ask if anyone needs Citadel, most times at least one person will. =)

As achika_soladia said -- you don't have to stay in the ring, but:

1) You do have a time limit that can run out
2) You have stay on the grounds -- you'll get a warning, that's when I suggest backing up even it means taking a hit, not like you can't shield again.

My GuildMaster insists on Charging, and he devastates them, I'm not as good as he is. =)

If there's a time limit, it's extremely long. I've never, ever encountered a time limit, and when I was first jousting and sucked at it, I was mostly just using thrust a million times which takes forever.

I try staying in the ring because when I get too far out, I automatically lose. I've lost too many close battles that way!

And eee, thanks! I'm going to try it again this weekend!
