I’ve really enjoyed this week’s PvP Brawl. As a healer, the lowered visibility is great until of course six enemy melee pile out of the fog. It’s also created much faster paced games with less defending and a lot more aggressive play which suits me. Our last two games we ended up winning 5 nil as the ice over the water and the blizzard seems to encourage people to put aside the “now defend” attitude and get out there, trying to take bases before the enemy can respond. We also had some great 2 and 3 versus 4 to 5 fights using the visibility to hide from the enemy especially casters and of course playing the bait to drag any defenders away from the flag so it can be tagged behind their backs works really well with the weather conditions.
Plus and perhaps most importantly it has snowmen!
In the winter, it would be fun if this was a permanent option from the list as I think it could quickly become my go to map. Playing this week also got my second Priest exalted with the Arathi Basin faction which was her 55th exalted faction. It’s always nice when you get a reputation achievement whilst standing over the corpse of an annoying Paladin who seems to have made it his afternoon’s work to follow you around smacking you in the face with a large sword. Holy Priests definitely feel like they are in a great place in PvP at the moment, lots of options and decent damage, for example I’m almost 100 percent sure I would have beaten a warrior in a 1 versus 1 had not Mr Harpy’s mage and a passing Demon Hunter turned up to rescue me

The random musings and occasional whining of a Warcraft playing Harpy, with some lashings of priestly stuff thrown in.

I missed this weeks brawl, but I did to it last time; it is by far my favorite brawl! I hope to do it next time around 🙂 Congrats on the 55 exalted reputation faction! That must indeed have felt very sweet 🙂
Ta. Now I need to find 5 more for the “beloved” title which sounds like it would be a great one to use in PvP. Mr Harpy gets lots of whispers from people telling him he would be “nothing without his precious priest” etc and I seem to have a magnet in my character attracting every melee in the zone so it seems appropriate.
