Arena in a Nutshell

Monday, October 20th, 2008

My first post.  Woot.  I love to read the tabloids/forums, I am not sure why, kinda like a train wreck most of the time.  But a while ago I found one of the funniest posts I have seen in a while.  We might not all agree on it, but it is funny IMO. I’ll put one of the best parts on as a teaser and the link if you want to read the rest.   The post isn’t long, but too long for here I think.

What if the UFC was like the WOW Arena . . .
Bob: “And here comes The Iceman himself, stepping into the cage. He looks ready for a fight.”
Jon: “Now his opponent steps in, Mr. Quinton “Rampage” Jackson himself, and . . . wait, is . . . is he holding a crowbar?”
Bob: “You got that right, Jon. Looks like his weapon of choice for this match is the crowbar. I think it’s fair to say we are gonna see some bloodshed tonight.”
Jon: “Uh, did I miss something? Why does he get to use a crowbar?”
Bob: “He won the last fight, Jon.”
Jon: ” . . . and?”
Bob: “And the winner gets rewarded with a upgraded gear. Rampage obviously choose the crowbar . . . not a bad decision if you ask me.”

5-boxed

What would make your resto-spec’d shaman say this in arena? (click for full size)

That’s right. A 5-box arena team. If you can’t tell, it’s a paladin and four enhancement spec’d shamans. Each with windfury and grounding totems. AWESOME.

The match started and we were at a stalemate for probably 15 minutes or so, neither side moving. We ended up realizing that our best bet was to split up and play the assumed weakness of one person being able to look in five different places at once. It worked. We pulled out a win and did pretty well for ourselves the rest of the night.

Also, our Kara run was REALLY good. Screenies below.

Our shadow priest accidentally pulled maiden and was down in three seconds. We ended up 9-manning her though. It was so much fun!
