Deadr hits 38, killed by rogue

I hit 38 last night after only 10 Drywhisker Kobolds in Arathi Highlands. They are pretty nice XP and repop pretty fast. The thing I hate about them is that they run. I HATE runners. This morning I moved over to the Cresting Exiles next to Hammerfall. They don’t break my bubble and don’t run. I love that kind of grinding. I saw Fozruk, too. I’ll wait a bit to take him on.

While you’re out and about clicking today, go check out Blessing of King’s article on Quests that Should Have Been Epic. It’s a terrific post that was well thought out and worth checking your questlog to see if you have begun any of them. Also make sure you check out anything you want to know about Deadr’s current gear or skills at his profile page.

I made a big mistake yesterday afternoon against a rogue, Hoganshero. He was level 34 while I was still level 37. I ventured down from the Kobold area to get the Axe Throwers and Witchdoctors, mining along the way. At one troll area, I saw a rogue with about 7% health left, so I Shadow Word: Pain’d him. He vanished and must have popped a health. When he reappeared, I wanded him to death with about 2 hits.

I really need help with PvP stuff if I’m going to survive on this server. Does anyone have tips for Priest vs Rogue? I was at a loss of what to do other than Psychic Scream and run. I can’t deal with stuns.

My first instinct was to run back to the Kobold area so he doesn’t come back for revenge, but I second-guessed it because he was ‘only’ 34. Big mistake. He came back and whupped my butt in about 10 seconds. I came back and stayed in a pond while my mana started to regen. Next thing I know, I’m on my way to being dead again. The next rez I did, I stayed underwater, but he was actually a smart player and knew that would be what I would do. I finally rezzed and Screamed so I could get back to Hammerfall.
