Your uber moments. :) Share 'emFollow

Hey guys, since I'm bored sitting here at work, I decided I'd share with you guys my "omg, I'm so uber!" moment that I had yesterday. :D It's pretty rare that I like to yap about myself, or post a topic start at all, but here we go.

To start off, I'm sure everyone who has one of those pivotal, single focus roles in the game (Tanks and Healers in Instances, Healers in BG's, Druids in WSG, etc...) has gone through a stage or two doing their jobs. At some point, it all clicks and you realize "Ok, I GOT this." and that you've reached the next level of that role.

Well, speaking as a Druid in WSG, it's pretty pronounced, looking back on it. Let me clarify something here. It's easy to carry the flag. Anyone can carry the flag. Druids are the best flag carriers, and it's the easiest to do as a druid adequately. That being said, there's a difference between your decent carrier and your really good one. Any Druid can move the flag across the field, that's easy.

But the really good Druids are the ones that can keep themselves up and alive, alone or nearly so. Those ones that, when they get the flag in base and are waiting for the team to retrieve theirs for the cap, they might be left alone, but they can hold onto that flag forever. Moving it all over the base, losing the hit squad left and right, etc... As a Hunter whose Exalted in WSG, I know the type, and they're a pain in the *** to take down. They're the ones, that when you're running at them, they know how to lose you midfield, doing things like going behind rocks, then doubling back to lose a crowd, etc. They abuse LOS when in cramped quarters (Read: In the Base) to keep the ranged dps off their asses. They manage to break a 3 man Flag Room D, all alone, and have the Horde FR D having no idea where they actually exited the base at. I'm sure you've all had one of those Druids on your team, or (ugh) on the team across the field from you. To sum it up, it's the ones that, even if you're in a premade, if you see their name on the wrong side of the scoreboard, you say "Ugh, it's X" and you know this pug isn't gonna be as easy as the one you just steamrolled the match before. :)

Anyways, you all get the point. I'm sure all this applies to Mage and Pally carriers too, I've never played one. :P

Well, my whole last week has been like that. Ending up holding the flag solo, stuck in our base with no support, etc... I don't remember it happening the week before, but that's how my week had been going. It culminated on Monday with a near perfect grab midfield from a dying carrier. Here's how it panned out (I'm so bored at work, I drew an ASCII diagram, yay Christmas week when all of our government clients are doing nothing!).

So here's the story.

/ and | and \ = Horde Players
* = Alliance Carrier
1-5 = Waypoints along my path.

I play in the 50-59 bracket, (Yes I have 60's I PvP with also), and I'm level 54 atm (I know, I know). I think I had two of my friends with me in this match, and the Horde team outleveled our pug by a few levels on average. You can tell those matches when you look at the scoreboard and it's pretty clear whose rezzing more often. :P

So anyways, I had just died. One of the Alliance Warriors on our side grabbed the Horde Flag just as I hit the GY. I pop up, do a quick MotW, and I'm Travel Form off to help out our FC. At about point 1 on the map is when I saw his health start going down. I can just make out the figures in the distance. He's alone, surrounded by 4 Horde and rooted. The rest of the team was either in our base, or in our GY still rezzing. Two Horde were Cloth, one was a Druid I think, and one was a Warrior. They're surrounding him, as shown on my cool little diagram above, and his HP is dropping. I'm booking it to him as fast as I can, and at around Point 2, he was at about 10% hp tops. I shifted out there (Still running), tossed a gernade and hit him with a quick Rejuv before shifting back to Travel form. The Horde were all just coming out of their stuns and killed him as I ran up to him, shifted to Humanoid for half a second, and snagged the flag right inbetween all four of them, went back to Travel Form and took off to the right. Whole Gernade, heal, snatch and grab was completely non-stop running. Was awesome. :D I even got a compliment from the pug I grabbed it from, which is a first.

It was the sweetest grab I've ever done, damn I wish I had fraps running. ><


Some of you are probably wondering why I didn't just heal him back. Well, I'm Feral Spec and in WSG, I wear my carrying gear. It has a decent amount of INT for Shifting, but the fact of the matter is, I can't heal a Warrior FC with no FAP's completely across the field when he's got 4 Horde on him and nary a teammate in sight. I can get him partially across, but at that point if he drops, there's no point in grabbing the flag, I have no mp to shift and I'm stuck with 4 Horde around me, and probably still no teammates in sight.

So anyways, some of ya'll share your "OMG I'm UBER!" moments you've had in the game. I'm sure alot of you have had them. I'd love to hear stories from other Druids who had some killer moments in WSG of course, but all are welcome. :)

PS: Interesting fact that even some people in my old premade didn't know. Ressurections in BG are all on the same Cycle. It just keeps counting down from 30, with a rez at 0. The timer you get just depends on when you die. That means that you can guage in AB how much time you have to cap the flag. Sometimes you have to send people to the GY you're capping at to tie up the rezzers, sometimes not. This will help in deciding when. :)

PPS: Bah, it screwed up my diagram a tiny bit. Oh well, it's still readable. :)

Hey! Every level has the right to pvp. Sometimes I like taking a break from my priest and level my hunter (Not that I'll ever have time to discover hunter tacts or something but I enjoy the idea of having a pet and levelling them, weird I know). She's 45 now with hell of rested xp but this happened back when she was 35-.

I was bored and thought "Hell, I'm too low but I'll give Gulch a try." hoping that people would not be mad at me for joining at such low level. It was PuG vs Premade and seriously I have so little idea about pvping with a hunter.

Anyway, the game was a "let's farm HKs at midfield" game and noone was trying to cap the flag. So I took the Horde ramp and entered the Horde FR and didn't see any defenders around so I capped the flag, used the way behind the Horde graveyard and kept going right with using Track Humanoids and switching between Aspect of the Beast and Aspect of the Cheetah (not to mention that I had dismissed my cat after I left the graveyard). Took the Ally ramp and captured the flag. Horde team had 3 hunters at 37+ but I didn't ever get attacked or spotted. Was strange, definitely an uber moment of luck.

I capped all 3 flags in a WSG, while wearing my tuxedo. True story.

Just a second ago, I joined a WSG on my 43 (Yeah he's low, but being max level in the bracket makes it way too easy for Horde) Rogue, and I check the scoresheet and see that it's 1-1 and they've been playing for 46 minutes. Haven't had a game in over 15 minutes in a while, so this is like whoa to me. A buddy druid of mine is holding the ally flag at our GY.

So.. I mount up, run down to their base, and a different druid shows me where our flag is being held. It's not a turtle, the rest of my team just apparently couldn't make it past midfield... the pally is all alone. Walk over, hit adrenaline rush (Mace Spec ftw... The Shatterer srsly pwns.) and me and the druid rape him (but mostly me!).

8 minutes after I join, the game is over 3 to 1 Horde, 54 minutes total.

And I'm like... damn I own.


But yeah I keep up with the best of em at level 43, and imo that's something in itself (I've been 43 for like 2 weeks at least). Most fun you can have is when you solo the 49 well-geared player in a BG and /lol at them.

I think my claim to fame has to be one WSG I joined up in. The alliance had a 8-man premade, and the horde was just in shambles, and I joined in late. It was 0-2 Alliance, and I was on my 29 rogue. Welll. Within about 15 minutes, I had turned the game around. I had brought us to victory, 3-2, AND I made my way up to the top of the chart, having dealt the most damage, and gotten the most killing blows.

The only other cool one was probably a WSG that lasted 3 hours (10-man alli vs 8-man horde premades)... Came out with like almost 300 hks that game. :/

One time, myself(partial T1 mage), another mage(PvP Blues), and a Paladin(can't remember his gear right now) completely(and I do mean completely) wiped a Horde offensive on the bridge in AV.

And by offensive, I'm talking about 25-35 people(I was a little busy to count Hordies).

The people who had been at SPGY rezzed and ported back to reinforce us, and we held the Horde back long enough for the Alliance O to kill Drek before the Horde were able to touch the Aid Station.

I joined a WSG with 3 of my guildies, me(hunter), a warrior, a pally and a rogue, we decided to come off D and rush in for O, I came into the Horde base got the speed boost scatter shotted the guard ran out feigned death so I'd get outta combat and pick'd up the flag, laid a trap down and Aspect of Cheetah'd the rest of the way out, everyone got mad because I went so fast I got one Judgement of Freedom and that was it

Half way through I got a little worried because I saw some Horde gaining on me and I started thinking about whther or not to turn on Aspect of the Cheetah, but my teammates caught up and took care of the gys behind me, saw that our flag got picked up too, so I went as fast as I could my guildies and I dealt with the FC and I cap'd the flag

Thats a BG that I'll never forget...even though we lost Alliance WSG FTL

The other day I beat some under-geared 60 warrior from 100% to death as my priest only using my staff. It took like 2 mins, but my renews were ticking for more damage than he was dealing to me. I LOL'D.

Playing WSG with my human frost speced mage at level 43. The game was pretty tight considering every BG I play in the Horde wins. I was on defense with a hunter most of the game holding our ground with just the two of us. Game ended up 2-2 after like 35 mins of play time. Alliance decided to make a run for the flag so I went on assault. Got to Horde base with like 6 hordies waiting. Druid picked up and started to run. I frost novaed all of them with one shot. Flag carrier escaped, I die. Rez in Cemetary seconds later, mount up, run to middle of field where I see 5 of them right on the druid mere seconds from the druids death. Jump off mount, Nova, ground them all over again, Blizzard, Ice Block. Laugh quite loud at the situation I put myself in but all and all it was fun cause moments later flag carrier got to our base and we won. :). I guess I couldn't have blinked away and stayed with flag carrier but the 5 I novaed were so angry all they wanted to do was kill me anyway. Blizzard and Ice block slowed down there assault on flag carrier so much they were not going to catch up a second time anyway.

Heres my only real "Uber" moment on my pally.

We were kinda stuck on that guy in scholo, the tough one, cant remember his name, hees the one of the "mini" bosses in a room a the end and has 2 skeleton guards. Well, anyway, we try him again, and immediately start wiping on him. So, I pop divine shield and run out of the room. The guys had taken care of the adds so it was just this guy (Alexi barov possibly? I dunno O.o) chasing me around the top. This was before the patch was implemented to stop you re-entering instances during an encounter (At least i presume it was, unless thats always been possible in 5 mans?). I kited him around the top for a good few minutes before my party came back and we pwnt him. Made me feel special ^^

Then, i guess as a reward, Gandling dropped my lightforge helm AND the ace of portals, I won the ace, yay! :D
