Portraits of an obsession (with the Winterfalls)
Posted: 19 Jul 2006 06:53 am
June 3rd. I had no idea what the hell I wanted to do that night. Scholo/Stratholm runs weren't too appealing. I cut my teeth on UBRS and since the Lightforge Gauntlets were moved out of BRD, I had no interest in returning.
Somewhere I read about the Timbermaws and how they gave a purple healing/fighting trinket, and since Pally DPS is as fast as Speedy the Turtle, I love damage suplementing trinkets.
So here begins our tale... I was barely out of unfriendly with the Timbermaws -and I pursued it because I hated to Divine Shield everytime I ran past that tunnel. Sure, I stopped doing it after I discovered the flightpath, but I disliked the gratuitous violence.
Takes a while to defeat the Winterfalls, especially to a not lvl 14 pvp geared, pre MC decked, barely 3 Soulforge pieces, no damn LF helm Paladin. So, trinkets, cooldowns, damage auras and sword-and-board tactics have to be used when I want to take on 3 enemies at the same time. And you have to, 'cause those Winterspringers are so heavily camped it's a miracle they have not gone extinct. You can see how the rep has gone into the "neutral" territory.
Friendly. Getting a few quests, a couple of beads and glorious 5/6 XP points per kill. Here's me saying "hi" to Snowpaw, local curmudgeon.
Duoed with a rogue one night. With his damage output I was able to do the work of 2 hours in 1. It was amazing.
You work every trinket into a rotation and have some fun every once in a while with the stuff that comes out of the Six Demon Bag.
More to come tomorrow.
