Progression in PVP gear has been pretty steady on my rogue for the past couple of weeks. This is thanks to my lack of following through on working on my alts. Prior to most of my WoW sessions I think to myself “I really should work on my alts” or “I’ll definitely hop on my druid and work on him.” Yet, usually when I log into my rogue for the pvp daily, I just end up pvp’ng the rest of the time.
Yesterday I reluctantly picked up my s2 shoulders, (I hate the rogue s2 shoulders), as an upgrade in that slot will require a 1950+ rating and if the first week of arena play with my 3v3 team is any indication, it’s going to be a looooooonnnnggg time before we get there. Out of nine matches, we only won two and we failed to get our tenth match in on monday night. Considering that two of us have never arena’d before I suppose we did alright. Hopefully as we continue to play our teamwork will improve and we’ll overcome our less than ideal composition (two rogues and a priest).
I will also be running with the priest in a 2v2 setting and I’m a little more optimistic about our chances despite neither of us yet running a 2v2 match. The main issue that I’m running into in arena play is how uptight I feel; I end up becoming pvp-tarded and play horrendously. If I can begin to relax I know I’ll play a lot better and might actually get our teams on the winning side of 500.
Short-term goals for my rogue are to pick up the old s3 bracers and the 30k honor +80 AP battlemaster trinket. I’m hoping to hold off on buying the s2 head/pants and picking up the s3 head/pants (or s4 pants) as upgrades, but that will depend on how quickly my arena teams improve. I also need to start running dailies again as gemming my s2 shoulders halved my coffers. And I need to run Ahune as much as I can in the next two days to pick up the deathfrost enchant. (Finally got enchanting to 300 =)
Other than my rogue, I still need to get my priest, druid, and paladin up to 70. Getting Schmelzen (my priest) won’t be too difficult to get to 70 as she’s sitting at 64.5, but both my paladin and druid are sitting at 30. On top of that I need to give my druid some priority considering he’s the only miner I have now and I’ll need a miner to help my priest get up to 375 in engineering. Ugh! Too much to do, not enough time.
