I played since vanilla, but S15 was definitely the most the i ever pvp’d. I think it just hit a really strong timing window. It was a very long patch that also had S tier pvp design, WoD was very hype at the time, and people that quit during cata were probably hitting that state of WoW battery fully recharged.
I quit for the first time at the start of cata, then no lifed SC2 followed by LoL until last patch MoP. Came back with way better competitive gaming skills (knowing how to actually beat other players at things), and played a ton of S15. I no lifed WoD for a bit and made a small fortune since i had every class at 90 from S15, bought a rooster, got burnt out, and probably didnt play again until legion.
Idk if you can mog to daggers, but my current BiS one for the enchant is keleseths blade of invocation. For some reason it is extremely dense and bright on it, even with it being the size of a sword.
I just checked my achievements, I got duelist S1 of WOD. Had no idea I got duelist that season. Isn’t there a special enchant you can get with duelist s1 wod?
I don’t remember how long I played exactly, but I don’t believe I was actively playing more than a month beyond the start of season 1. So apparently my CR was high enough from the early push I did to get duelist, and that season ended with r1 being over 3k I believe. Yikes.
Goodluck to you in getting gladiator/legend this season (or expac) friend. Sounds like its well overdue.
