Arena Match & My Char's Facebook Status

Last night the Bits, Raithen, and I decided to do some 3v3.  Just a little feral/holy-pal/afflock.  We're not pushing for gladiator (yet) as Bits' lock just dinged 80 not too long ago, and frankly, I suck at the feral ness.  But we were playing and having a fairly good time, winning as many as we lost.  So our last match we're fighting, frost mage, hunter, holy pal.  The exact kill order eludes, but I'm pretty sure their mage went down first, followed swiftly by the Bits.  Raithen is able to rez the Bits, who dies almost immediatley again, meanwhile having our pali dumping mana into him.  Now their pally is rezzes the mage (That's my bad, I tried to get to him in time, but failed.)  So I kill him again after stopping his evocate.  Well we play around with the hunter and I attacking each other, neither of us really doing much damage.  Both our pally's are gaining mana without having to drink.  I'm hopping around in bear form as we try and distract them for the rez again.  But they're sticking to Raithen like flies on....well, you know.  I'm trying to peel them and then realize, wait.  I have a rez too amiright?!  So I run away, hide behind a pillar and REZ MY FALLEN COMRADE!!  Hunter realizes what is going on just a smidge too late for him.  Bits comes up, stays alive, we finish off hunter and then pally, ya ya ya! USA! USA!

We decided that was a good one to stop on.

I armoried myself cause I was bored this morning and oh wow they updated the armory!  There's Karial staring at me in 3 EFFING D.  Not only that but I can put him in different poses??  and HOLYCOWWTFOMG he's got "recent activity"  Pretty soon I'll have to update his status and let it tweet out to the world.

"Karial would rather be in an arena right now"

Yeesh, we're getting closer to a live feed where people can watch my char's every move.  A lot of people are going to wonder why I spend so much time naked with Bits and Raithen in the Howling Fjord.

Karial: "Ok, you jump in the icy water first"
Bits: "NO! You won't do it, YOU go first."
Raithen: "Fine, fine, fine.  We'll all go on 3."

How do you learn to arena?

Obviously the answer is to play arena matches right? Well not really I've actually found this to be one of the worst ways to introduce an arena virgin into the wonderful (and fucking painful) world of arenas.

Stream of Consciousness

So after the long Holiday season, lots of traveling, and not a lot of WoW. I'm BACK!

So the Bits has a warlock now that he's gearing up, which means lots of heroic runs. Problem 1: He is the tank for our groups of insta-queue. Which means we needed to find another one. Raithen's response about asking if his Pally would/could tank. "Umm, I threw away/vendored all my tanking gear" Alright then, I've got a feral spec. Maybe not (even close to) the greatest, but could be fun.
