Things that should annoy me but don't (WoW)

[thistlechaser]

Picture this: I'm a 37 rogue. I'm doing my usual endless PvPing (as soon as one BG ends, I queue right up again so I generally end up with the same regulars... and the same foes). I defend a lot because you make more honor, it's important, and (most importantly) it's easier.

A human 39 rogue (named Lvl) came and attacked my base. He killed me, others from my side jumped on him, and by the time I rezzed and ran back, we were able to drive him off. (He jumped off a cliff rather than be killed by us.) I do the same thing ("I'll kill myself before letting you kill me!") so, amused, I /laughed at him as he fell.

Lvl took it personally. :D

The next three BGs, he hunted me down. Not only did he have two levels on me, he was better at playing the job, plus he moved like a monkey on crack with his pants full of jumping beans. Seriously, I could hardly follow him with my eyes, let alone have a chance of keeping up with him through my character. He jumped and bounced and was just all over the place while I felt like my feet were glued to the ground.

Lvl killed me again and again and again. No matter where I went, he followed me and killed me.

I had the greatest time! I laughed endlessly.

At one point I was defending a base alone and he (of course) came and found me and killed me. I said on /bg that I had had enough and to just let him have the base. (Actually, I said I had a "Lvl-dick shape in my ass" and the base wasn't worth it, much to the amusement of my fellows.) :D

Seems like this kind of thing should annoy people, but really, I had the time of my life. I laughed (and groaned) each time he found me and each time he "pwned" me (as the kids say!).

Alas he's 39, so I probably won't meet Lvl again for a while. By the time we meet in the next bracket he probably won't remember me anymore, but this sure did make for an amusing day. :D

That would drive me absolutely mad with rage. =)

Of course after the 2nd or third ganking I would find something else to do.
*nods*
Assuming I was queuing for BGs for some mad reason. =)

Ha ha yeah! I thought that would be the most common reaction. I think part of it was that he was just plain better than me, both in how he moved and how he played the job -- acknowledging that was the first step! (Plus I learned some by watching him. I'm not exactly sure how to apply it yet, but eventually I will!)

Another part that made it funny was that he was probably expecting to make me rage, so the fact that it actually amused the hell out of me made me win... sort of?

Plus there's the whole thing that dying in BGs just amuses the heck out of me anyway, and this was all good to me! :D

Just remember, PvP is determined by many factors! Level, gear, skill, all of these are important. But, the most important of all is how spazztastic you can move around while fighting someone. If you can master the spazz dance, you will be, INVINCIBLE! >.>

There's a grain of truth in there. If you can move around your target fast enough, they will spend more time turning around trying to keep you in front than actually attacking you. It distracts them and may give you opportunities you can exploit.

Yeah, that's what I've been encountering. When someone moves like a kid on crack, I just kind of stand there and boggle as I turn and turn and try to keep in weapon range. They're hitting me and moving, hitting and moving...

I was waiting for a vendor last night (takes him 20 minutes to walk between the two places he sells from ~.~ ), so I practiced that. It's so hard! Arg! The only thing I did was make myself dizzy. :P
