I’ve never played a paladin beyond about level 10, but, decided to try my hand with Luxxi – who has really become my primary Free to Play account. I also created a human priest, but, created a gnome priest, Brevisano, for battlegrounds.

One of these, the Horde dominated healing, but, fighting mid or camping the graveyard will allow you to get some large healing numbers, but, in the end, it is who moves the flag that wins.

Here we see Breyanne, a 24 hunter twink, drinking Rumsey Rum Dark before the start of the game.

Once in a while you’ll see some rogue that is relatively low leveled for the bracket and they’ll ask for a healbot — because by some miracle with a healer, they’ll be able to take out someone. If you call out for a healbot, and by some rare chance you get one, protect that healer — don’t charge into battle DPSing everything and allow the healer to get killed and then complain that you didn’t get any heals.

In any case, the screenshots of Qwickthree’s healing are a pretty sad testament to the healers in battlegrounds. They are virtually non-existent, but, very much appreciated when they are around.

Overall, it is just a statement that healers are pretty rare in battlegrounds – even on the twink battlegrounds.

While we could have at least scored a quick early point, somehow our Flag Carrier decided it would be funny to dance around midfield, some Alliance zoned in and quickly got to our flag room. The game ended 3-2 with Horde winning.

At level 80, almost every battleground I have tried starts with a deficit on the horde side except for Alterac Valley. In AV, I have yet to see a match where we didn’t have at least 15 more players than the Alliance. I started twinking after I saw the horde honor farming rather than playing the game. They were concerned with how much honor per hour they could earn and they would queue up for those battlegrounds. The only time you saw decent queues were on battleground holiday weekends and even then, people were there for the ‘quick honor.’

3.1 brings with it Battleground Queuing from anywhere and queuing up for 5 battlegrounds at a time. Now, if people see a game they don’t think will be quick honor, they’ll have 4 other battlegrounds to choose from.

10000 kills while I was healing. Our flag dropped down from the enemy gy and while I was healing, the achievement popped up. Unlike the 10000th kill on IbJammin, I didn’t get the name of the player that was credited as my 10000th kill. There were a few notable players in that wsg, but, they weren’t near the gy at the time.

While I didn’t top the damage or healing charts, I healed where it was necessary, DPSed where I could, and returned two flags by chasing them down when they slipped past midfield. I love my frost shock glyph that extends the length of the shock by two seconds. By the time frost shock is about to expire on my target, the cooldown on Frost shock is ready to be reapplied. With liberal use of purge, even pallies are easy enough to slow and take down.

Note the ‘fan’ comment in the lower left.

Thank you Bankerr — it was great to run with you as well.

I came into the game late and Horde was being hammered quite bad. Always love zoning into a flag room with 6 attackers. I stepped in, healed as much as I could, started to DPS and we repelled that attack, but, we still weren’t strong enough to overcome.
