Adventures of a Dwarf Priest

So I played a few more games of EOTS as I’m sure it will be abbreviated to. The Horde was out numbered in all my subsequent games so we won of course. I find it amusing that people on the live server are already whining about the BG without even have played it :b I found the smaller map and guarding goal towers to make things more interesting. The flag runs add a little spice to the battles. I’m sure people will be imploring all sorts of new tactics.

On the live boards they are claiming that it is some how imbalanced though I’m not sure how. The map is basically a mirror image with a flag in the middle. People will whine about anything :b

Inian was telling me that you get bonus honor for healing. I was trying to figure it out if thats true. It looks like when I heal someone other than myself, who is in combat that I was getting honor for it. But it is hard to tell when there is so much death and destruction going around >:)

We won this battle and I must say again I like how it gives props to those who healed. I always enjoyed healing in BGs and people always whine that no one heals. Now no one can say I didn’t do it and people might compete for the top healing spot I’m sure that is the purpose of them putting this in, and the extra honor to try an encourage healing.

So after waiting like a half an hour I finally got into a Eye of the Storm BG. You start off in this little shielded floating rock which you have to carefully get off of when the BG starts :b

It was quite rough as the horde had a lot of higher levels than us. I had this pair of 69 Druids that kept mangling me that was most unpleasant.

I ran around a lot which seemed to help my survival. Standing still was asking the Druids to pop me! Of course this made healing hard. Especially with my Perfect Raid mod. I was mainly just friendly tabing and using shield and renew to help out while paining the enemies, or a mind blast if I could get the time.
In the end we lost, but it will be an interesting BG once I get the hang of it. With the holding of the towers it is similar to AB which I like, with a little WSG thrown in for good measure I guess thats in case there is a stand off and you can each hold your two towers. The addition of healing to the top scores is neat. I was actually the top healer and I didn’t really try which is odd hehe

I got on just in time for a server shutdown. Before I logged though I was running around Shattrath and noticed a quest to pledge allegiance to the Aldor or the Scryers. Well I already decided I was going to go with the Scryers of the silly Aldor. This is mainly because they are more caster friendly I think. They have my tailoring spell thread recipes and better shoulder enchants for casters. They also appeared to be very enchanter oriented as they had a full compliment of enchanter trainers on this floor of their building. The only one they were missing was the Grand Master. Hopefully the servers come back soon I was going to see if I couldn’t have a looksee at the new battle ground Eye of the Storm they have plastered on the site.
