This week went a lot better in the arena for Hroda and me. We had some decent matchups, but we also faced some strong teams. As usual, the warrior/druid teams beat us up pretty bad (we went 50/50 against them), but we took down some better ranked teams to peak at about 1650 before we hit some skids. [Note: when doing arena from a laptop, remember to plug it in, or you may find yourself kaput mid-fight!]
[A quick bitch. What's up with YouTube taking my beautiful 1080p encoded video and making it so ugly. I think I'll need to look into warcraftmovies.com.]
One of our fights was a career highlight for me! We entered the arena to see two warlocks with their fel-puppies out. They were playing aggressively and came running. They spotted Hroda early, who let out a fear immediately, but not before she was loaded up with dots and gets blasted.
Meanwhile, I was scooting my stealthed butt (at stealthed speed) after one of the 'locks. Hroda dies, and I finally nabbed my target warlock behind a pillar and made really quick work of him. His buddy figures out where I'm at, and he begins curse of exhaustion kiting into a fear. I'm pretty sure he can finish me at this point but instead of staying aggressive, he runs away from me.
I take the time to dive behind a pillar, hoping to outwait the dots for a quick bandage + stealth. This doesn't work as we realizes I'm going to try that. With combo points in hand, I pillar hump until I can put a snare on him. At that point, it's game over as my damage will out do his slow dots.
I even had another Cloak of Shadows waiting which I didn't use (a mistake, on my part).
It was good fun, and to get 22 points on it, I was thrilled. I'm sure those warlocks were pissed. Luck? Probably. Fun? Oh yeah.
