Before 8.1 I was on my dark iron dwarf ganking Horde during Brewfest and Hallow’s End. It was hilarious to use the Gucci mole machine in the Barrens to “deep strike” the Horde there lol. It was shortlived but I loved the salty Horde tears. If only…
The Alliance lost the war before 8.1 came out, so seeing the Alliance-exclusive AOO and 30% WM bonus writing on the wall, I shelved the dark iron(no longer that anymore) and recalled the goblin to do the assault events, to include any battles going on in Naz and Mech.
Because when one faction got 30% more currency and AOO loot, everyone knew what was going to happen. Tuesday, get your 25, kthxbai. That’s six days of being on your own against the faction that still gets 10% WM bonus, no AOO ever, and couldn’t care less.
You can’t beat a faction like that, and this Homey don’t play that.
10,000 is the number only for capitals divided among this toon and my seasonal SL toon. It’s not counting any of them I got in KTZ zones. There used to be a statistic that tracked how many open-world kills you get into a zone, such as Eastern Kingdoms. I practically ignored Darnassus; no 110-120’s congregated there.
I was watching that Soullscape 8.2.5 Fury warr video again. The stream actually showed me coming back for a revenge gank, to which he was most visibly upset. I barely escaped the ganking of an OL and caught him in the right moment. I wonder if Twitch still has it. The contrast with him slapping the damage in 10.1.5 is like night and day.
I thought it was funny that the other fury warr did nothing to CC Soull. I lasted for over one solid minute without being peeled, when nowadays MM doesn’t need anywhere near 60 sec to win 1v1. This was back when MM had no Binding Shot, Tar that did nothing, and no KShot. MMs today besides me wouldn’t have put up with it.
Edit: So considering that I was under geared, had no CC support(fury warr’s damage vs. Soull was garbo), going up against a Fury that used a self-healing tanking trinket and could use superior mobility(2 charges and a Leap) to open/close the gaps, and got harried later on by a stealthier, I easily “parsed orange” then. Soull was never that good in the spec. Ever.
