Wintergrasp: First Experiences

This weekend I had the pleasure of participating in some Wintergrasp action. I got to both assault and defend the keep (victorious both times tyvm). And man did I have fun.

I was worried about running around in PvE gear with mixed blues, purples, and level 70 gear. So I used Outfitter to create a "Max Stam" outfit and put that baby on for some PvP action.

Josh, over at Eye for an Eye, has a good post titled Wintergrasp is Concentrated Awesome which sums up my thoughts exactly. I couldn't have said it better myself.

How did Stoney hold up in that mixed bag of gear? I owned. Spirit Wolves are amazing in PvP. Between their stuns and their heals I was keeping myself alive despite immense pressure from Warriors, Warlocks, and Priests. I had the pleasure of taking down a Warlock in 1-on-1 outside of a machine shop. I surprised him and got the advantage out of the gate. I popped Feral Spirit and my dogs stunned as I ripped him to shreds with weapons. When he came around from the stun I was ready for the Fear and interrupted the first cast. The Death Coil followed suit, at that point I had him to 1% HP but the coil healed him back up. All the while my dogs are keeping at him and winding his health down. When I came out of Death Coil he of course had the fear ready and stupid me I didn't have a Tremor totem down. So I went for a run... When I came back from my little jog my dogs were still all over him. I popped into Ghostwolf chased him down and finished him off with 1 Stormstrike.

A priest showed up at that point and I ripped her to shreds so fast I can only assume it wasn't an 80 toon. Then two Tauren Warriors who were working me over pretty good. I got one down and the other low enough that I felt OK about myself as I finally succumb to the inevitable. Granted it was after 2 full MW5_HW and another MW3 that just couldn't wait.

I did kill a DK at one point but it didn't really register in the confusion so I can't say much about staring one of them down.
