Arena Stress
Posted 07-27-2008 at 05:22 AM by Ukyo
Have you ever been playing arena and lose to teams that you know they wouldn't cut it in higher brackets, but still you can't take them out because of "game mechanics"?
I have, and the feeling of impotence sucks. I hate it, and it makes me hate the whole arena system. I just hate it. I hate that it makes me annoying, and i start to question what am i doing wrong, why other classes don't have the same problems that i do while i do arenas. It just FUCKING SUCK!!!
Anyway, been doing arenas on the new server (Ragnaros
), but the lame part is that i'm back in my old battlegroup (Vindication). Now, i missed my friends and all, but i atleast expected a new battlegroup to have some fun, not to fight the same people i fought like 4 months ago. Not cool, but, i can live with that.
Other things i've been thinking about is the mace spec deal. I don't like mace spec with my Vengeful Glad mace, procs too spaced, loses the whole "multichainstunftw" idea. So, i realized that i made a mistake by picking it. If you're wondering about your new weapon, and you're running weird/fun comps, please go with Sword or Axe (preparing yourself for WotLK), it'll be more fun. But, if you still want to make it to mace spec, craft Stormherald and profit. That weapon was made for the spec. Seriously, i can't even begin to describe the difference between the 2 weapons. If you're running with a Druid on 2's or a Priest, it might be helpful to run with a mace, but if you're running with a Shaman in 2's, get a freaking sword and loooooove that wf totem. (I was thinking about picking up the S2 sword myself since i want to spend my arena points on S4 gear for now). If you can, make an intervene macro for it, he'll thank you by granting you full unparriable procs xD!
PvE seems like a nice option, but i'm still a little... undecided if i should join the guild my friends' are in. They're making progress, they care about moving fast through content so we can be in Sunwell before WotLK, but... i don't know, it might feel weird since when i left the server, some feelings got hurt and some people in that guild didn't like the choice i made. Hard to think there's still some grudges, but there might be.
Anyway, that's all i wanted to say for today, gnight (morning lol i can see the sun) to anyone who reads this blog :B

 | I think your main issue here is that you're doing arenas  The arena game is a bit like this: Every spec is a standard hand of power cards. You and your team mates put the cards down during the fight. So do your opponents. Using a good combination of cards, in the right order, against the right opponents wins the fight. You also need to know all the standard hands so that you can predict what your opponents will put down and so that you can field a team whose combined cards can win against the majority of opposing team compositions. If you like that sort of game arenas will be deep and entertaining, and if not they'll be randomness and frustration. |
