Arathi Basin - Part 2

First off if you didn't read my theory in part one, then this probably wont make sense so i suggest you go look it up Here This post kinda follows on from the theories made yesterday.

It looks like something of the drivel i said yesterday may actually be right, (I'm shocked too!) this weekend is Alterac valley weekend, yet the ques to get into Arathi Basin have never been as fast on misery as they were today, on a fair few occasions they would appear in just a few seconds, a big difference from the usual 4-5+ minutes that we usually see. Also while i was in there i was noticing a distinct change in the level of gear that my fellow Hordes were wearing. A few weeks back for example it wouldn't have been out of the ordinary to see a lot of recently bought honor farmed epics (I'm going to refrain from calling them well-fare epics since i am still using a lot of them), but now the average level of gear has gone from that dazzling purple to a nasty shade of green. I think i was the only epic'd out player in more than one of the Arathis that i have been in today, and they were fairly puzzled why i was happy at this Revelation (maybe i was right whoop!), that being said there were still 60 AV's up in the peak hours, while the most Arathis i saw today was 49 (still a big leap up considering it was AV weekend).

But anyway enough of that.

you may have noticed my small post below about hitting 5000/21000 rep in AB, IMO quite an achievement considering the time frame that i have been working in, my actual ending rep for the day was 6510/21000, meaning this weekend i have made approximately 3000 rep, a nice chunk (about 1/7) of the total needed, so a good weekend by any ones standards.

I have had an awesome time in AB today (duh, i was in there 16 hours), i have won about 75% of games and had a fair few 5-0 victories. Among the 16 hours of game play today there have been some rather epic moments, lets see how many i can remember and describe

1. Me and another Rogue defending stables- This one was great, right at the start of the game i decided i was going to deny the alliance their early points and rode(spelling?) directly to the stables meeting no resistance on the way, there was a shaman and a Warlock defending the flag, after sapping the shaman, my sexy mutilate specc made short work of the warlock, leaving a poor defenceless resto shaman at my mercy. He died. but it took too long (as shamans do) and i was unable to cap the flag before ms warlock showed up again, Death coiling me just a split second before capping, the fight with the warlock this time did not go as smooth as i had hoped, and before i knew it the shaman had also re spawned keeping her alive, when, out of nowhere another rogue appeared an undead who's features were remarkably similar to my own, well with his aid we soon dispatched these 2 and capped the flag, but the fight wasn't over yet. they had obviously called in the reinforcements because aid for them came running in, in the form of a warrior , druid, shadow priest and a mage, making a grand total of 6 overall. Me and my new found rogue buddy held these people at bay for about 6 minutes SOLO, killing them off and watching them come running back as we res a little bit of health is one of the best things i have ever seen myself do in AB.
2. My Resto shaman friend- Gold Mine this time, me and a restoration shaman left on defence, it seemed quiet and we were chatting while keeping our eyes peeled, and then we say 5 alliance come charging down the hill, we quickly jumped into action, him smashing down his totems, and me stealthing to towards the charging alliance. i immediately stuck what i thought to be the best geared into a sap, and nuked down a hunter, she died almost instantly thanks to a little bit of cold blooded mutilate, i then saw the healer out of the bunch and directed my attention to her, now luckily for me this priest didn't seem to have resilience gear, witch made my life a hell of a lot easier, i began my work on her without re-stealthing this time (there wasn't time) so no cheap shot, and the second i started to attack her the warrior that i had sapped and another turned their attention to me, while the retri paladin of the group turned his attention to MY healer. intercepts and stuns kept me locked down for a while, and in HUGE credit to my healer, he kept me up well, i hit evasion and kept their damage down, but i wouldn't have survived long with out him. The priest goes down with a nice Crit from mutilate (did i mention i love this build?) . But then disaster strikes! I turn my camera to check on my shaman just in time too see him fall, nothing i can really do now, so i started to work on the lesser geared of the warriors, i thought i was going to die at this point anyway, the paladin instead of comming for me decided to try and cap the flag, so i blew my blind cool down on him. Now recently i have been reading up on how to kill warriors, since i had trouble before, and it always mentions rupture. So i did, and lo and behold the lesser geared warrior started to drop, and faster than i was, amazing!, at this point sir shaman has respawned and got to the flag JUST IN TIME to earthshock the paladin who was once again trying to cap it(what a guy <3), class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_38">isn't really "displayed" but this guy was crapping his pants. i could just tell alright? after knocking his HP to about 60% in a single mutilate crit he turned and ran, leaving just his paladin buddy behind. between us dispatched said paladin to the next world. Awesome.
3. Warglaives, as common as muck -my next awesome moment in AB wasn't actually a tale of victory for me. it was more one of those "oh crap" moments. SO there i was happily riding along when i get cheap shotted. Damn - but not a disaster, until i notice this rogue happens to be carrying a warglaive. suddenly i started to panic, and blinded her. Only to be cheap shotted again. another rogue. another warglaive. i laughed, at least it was going to be an epic death. But i wasn't going to down without a fight, so i hit evasion and started to attack this new rogue, when BAM- intercept stunned. you guessed it a THIRD warglaive in a SINGLE AB, i was confused, i checked the list, of course it was a freakin premade. a premade of awesome. i continued to be raped with a smile on my face, 3 warglaives to bring Quincey down. ill remember that :P
   

I cant remember any more off the top of my head, hope you enjoyed these mini stories of how much i enjoyed my day of Arathi Basin
