So Im in Warsong Gulch (working on Outriders reputation, I hate this battleground). Anyways, as par the course the Alliance side is filled with arena geared junkies AND a partial pre-made to boot. That wasnt what has brought me to make this post though. There was an S.Priest that was geared to the teeth that decided it was his job to kill me as much as he possibly could. I tried silencing, trapping, scatter shotting, you name it and hardly did any damage to him. I pretty much spent the match trying in vein to run away from him. Eventually I gave up at the last 5 minutes or so of the match and didnt rez.

Get your paladin friend to come in, one-shot her, then bubble hearth while you pop out of camo and laugh?
What I wanna know is where our "johnny one-button" win button is?
Druid (lazer chicken): moonfire, moonfire, moonfire.............
Mage: icelance, icelance, icelance

Yes, I'm a bit bitter with PvP at the moment.
yeah, i completely agree. I'm willing to bet Multishot after the next patch will be dumbed down due to the pvp'ers...
I have only done a couple of BG since Cata for this very reason. I used to enjoy PvP but am frustrated.

We had the hard hitting Aimed Shot and you see what happend.
I'm thinking of calling it quits in PvP after I get Warsong Outriders to Exalted. It's got me WAY frustrated. Blizz screwed battlegrounds when they added arenas and arena gear. I know some around here do arena, but I don't see the point of PvPing if I go up against a Rogue with 4k or better resilience. It's a tough fight in normal gear, how the hell am I supposed to stand a chance against one that can soak up any damage I do to him?
Here is a sample of what Im facing. http://us.battle.net/wow/en/character/argent-dawn/dardius/simple
Hmmm, this may be the most useless comment ever, but I think The Unknowable is one of the coolest guild names I've seen, just sayin' lol!
The funnier thing is when two hunters come across, and try to beat eachother to hell, in expanse of the bg tactics.. Ironically, I just want to /wave at them, but generally they take it as an insult, and happen to see me as if I'm the biggest threat to their group, and rain down everything they have on their action bar over me.. D-,:
This guy in the example doesn't seem exceptionally geared to me.
When you buy all the Honor PvP Gear with resilience priority, you can achieve ~3.1k resillience.
-Nowadays the trend is to play 2v2 for 5wins for a week and get the maximum conquest points, and in a few months you are in full Conquest gear – even weapons, which would make you close to 4k resi (not sure, maybe more)
-Most of those "unbeatables" are in general, the average PvP players, who spend most of their game time, doing nothing but farming honor or conquest points.
-For burst, I use all trinkets-cooldowns in a row, and weave tranq&concs frequently, to keep the target from healing back up in a glance.
-A few days ago, installed a new addon called "Healers Have to Die"; What it does? It puts a huge + icon
on the enemy healers' heads both in arenas and BGs. Well they are the source of "undying" players and name of the addon tells everything 😉
-I tried to play SV for a long time but BM turns out to be a much better and enjoyable spec for PvP. Smart pet usage can turn the tide in many encounters, and the focus performance is best of 3 specs, that you hardly ever need to cast a cobra shot, and you can jump like a monkey all around, only using instant casts, lure them while your pet does the real damage.
You had me at "jump like a monkey" 😀
I've begun (very) slowly putting together a PvP gear set. I've managed a couple drops from BH (gloves & cloak) and bought the Honor chest last night. I've *never* been a PvPer but I'm thinking I need something new in my WoW life to spice things up for my main.
BM is still my off-spec and I will definitely start fine-tuning my UI and shot priority and generally knock the rust off that spec for the next time I do any BG's (almost always restricted to Tol Barad these days.)
For those of you who PvP, to one who doesn' and has never done any Arena or had any interest in it, how do you go about getting involved in 2V2 or other Arena action?
I tend to jump like a monkey even not PvP'n, it's just fun! I'm interested in learning more about PvP because like Oz, it's an aspect of the game I've never been involved in either, and am interested in learning more about it.
Ditto - I'm going to put Gar's helpful hints posts to work.
And when I choose to play BM, all that insane pet collection full of rare exotic beasts actually serve its real purpose 😛

I hate S.Priests. I usually stop their first fear with Silencing shot, the next one with scatter shot, the next one with FD, the next one with ShadowMeld (NE racial 🙂 ) , the next one with deterrence and then pop Readiness and repeat. I ususally try to wait until their fear is at least cast halfway before interruption to waste more of their casting time and get a few extra instant shots in there. If S.Priest is not dead after running through y 2nd chain of interrupts then I'm in real trouble which happens a lot against those arena players with 365ivl pvp gear. I feel your pain!!
