Last night wasn’t all that it was cracked up to be. We failed the OS25 run with drakes up. It wasn’t meant to be a jab at anyone, but the overall excuse for failure was low dps.
Now, I know I’m not putting oot a crapload because I don’t have amazing equipment. But I play what I do well, so I don’t mind it so much.
One thing I was looking up for equipment was what weapon I could get to improve and stumbled across the arena equipment. Holy crap. Seriously ? Wow. Again, it’s like the 2nd best in the game.
Now, I have no doubt that it’s difficult to get a 2350 Arena rating. After looking at the how to get arena points explanation, it seems dang near impossible. Well, for me. I die alot normally. I’m at best a good distraction in battlegrounds. In the arena… Well, do I really want to spend 100g to boost up someone else’s ranking ?
Why aren’t crafted items this good ? What’s the point of slaving away for 2 expansions making bags for everyone under the sun if it never pays off ? Grumble cakes…
On a plus note, I didn’t die from the fire walls. We’re still kinda learning the fight, so we had some new, some pugs, and some blue there trying to coral us into doing what we needed to survive. At the end of it, with the camera at max range, I was one of the last to die. I count that as an accomplishment.

Last man standing is always fun :)
especially in arena matches!
It may sound daunting, and 2350 is simply out of reach for most of us, but you should have a crack anyway! Certainly gets your heart pumping.
Eventually you will find yourself in a 2 on one and you are the one… but there is always a chance that you will win anyway, and -that- is a good feeling :)
PS: I found your blog

@zupa: My fight or flight feels like it kicks in when I do normal PVP. Battlegrounds are mostly okay now. It’s turned from fear to fun, as if the intimidation of death isn’t anything to worry aboot.
I think the only thing stopping me from doing random arena deaths is the fact that I have to dish oot the money to die horribly. Maybe when I get better gear, I can arena… to get better gear… Somehow that seems conflicted.
I hope you find this amusing ! = )
