Many of you who have been following my blog or my comments in other blogs for a while know that I am a bona fide unabashed carebear. My main is on an RP-PvE server, and Lunapike, my level 62 alt, is on an RP-PvP server but has the tendency to /hug every member of the opposite faction that she meets, before continuing on her way.
But what some of you may not know is that… if you call down the thunder, you’ll reap the whirlwind.
Today I reached into my Holding Bag of hunter alts and plucked one out to play in Stonetalon Mountains on that RP-PvP server. I was doing a quest that was orange to me and I somehow kept aggro’ing a mob who was some seven or eight levels higher than me who was immune to seemingly all of my forms of crowd control, and I kept dying. It was sorta annoying, so I figured I’d find another, easier quest. Just as I had rez’d myself for the third or forth time and was bandaging up before heading out, an level ?? Alliance warlock rode up to me, dismounted, and ganked me.
She mounted up again and rode away, and I noticed that she had a non-epic mount…
I logged out and hopped over to Lunapike, who was parked not too far away. Upon getting to Sun Rock Retreat, I mounted up on Snowball, my Frostwolf Howler, and barreled down the road towards my alt’s corpse. And ohh, what do we have here, but that level 57 warlock…
She dismounted and popped a fear off on me. I used my PvP trinket followed by The Beast Within and sic’d my lynx Alyosha on her. Game over in about six seconds.
Right as I was finishing her off, a level 66 Alliance hunter… her buddy, maybe?… rode up. He was four levels higher than me, and five levels higher than my pet. He dismounted and stared at me and my pet, the two of us still big and red. I /waved at him.
He sic’d his pet on me, I feigned death to get out of it. And then he made a very, very bad mistake…
He queued up an Aimed Shot.
With me pounding away at him with Arcanes, Multis, and Autos, and Alyosha still big and red and Frenzy proc’d… interrupt city… he queued up an Aimed Shot.
By the time he finally got that Aimed Shot off, I already had his health down to 30%. In a last ditch effort he ran up and tried to melee me and actually proceeded in trapping me, but at that point his health was down to nil and my trusty kitty finished him off easily.
Afterwards I glanced around smugly at the two poor Alliance souls at my feet, then I hopped on Snowball and trotted off.
You mess with one of my baby hunters, you mess with Pike. /grin
Awesome…
I play on a PVE server, so I usually do not have this issue, but the fact I play a female toon, I find lots of horde “helpers” along the way who usually assist me out of the blue. I then usually get blown a kiss, and off they go.
But I was bad, I did gank a lowbie alliance who was trying to steal my horde fire the other day. I did receive great satisfaction from this.
Oh Aimed shot, I love when other hunters use you! 🙂
The only reason I could rationalize using Aimed Shot in that situation was if I’d hit Rapid Fire at the same time. Otherwise a complete waste of time in that situation. I’m surprised he didn’t Feign Death himself.
You’re pretty lucky though anytime I’ve had an alt attacked by the time I could ever get there on my main they’re already gone.
LOL The carebear takes out a can of woopaas 🙂
