So I was doing my Sons of Hodir dailies on Julep this morning on Archimonde. Suddenly, a warrior runs up and ganks me. I rezzed, and he got me a few more times, and it was pretty bad. He was using Berserker Rage, so spent a lot of time immune to fear, and I just couldn't get him off of me with that big 2-hander. I thought about switching to my Affliction off-spec, but I'm not sure that would have helped me. Without fear to maintain distance, warriors and rogues can ruin a warlock's day pretty quick. I need to get in the habit of keeping a Demonic Circle dropped so I can get some range at all times.
My policy has been to leave other people alone if they're not bothering me, while I learn the etiquette of the new environment I'm in. My son says he's been jumped quite a few times, so if there's a code of conduct about corpse-camping and repeated ganks, I'm not seeing it. I don't want to reflect poorly on my guild, but I'm thinking if I see someone down on health, I'm taking a shot.
It did slow me down a great deal. I had to rez, re-buff and look for a safe spot, and he kept finding me. On one hand, a PvP server is a more honest version of the game. The Alliance and the Horde are at war, so jumping others when you find them alone seems a natural thing to do. *I* play alone a great deal of time, though. My son is on the west coast, and the morning is when I usually do most of my dailies, and there aren't a lot of people around to group up with. When Kyle gets stationed on a ship, he won't be able to play much for a while, and then I'll really be isolated.
It is a bit more exciting on a PvP server, though. When I do dailies on Steamwheedle Cartel, it's just a matter of how much time will it take me. On Archimonde, I'm finding I may not be able to work in a certain area, and I may have to come back. It's no fun being on the short end of the stick all the time though. If I can't dish it out, I'm not going to take it.
Skulfrak is still my main toon, and he's gone so far, I hate to keep going back and covering the same ground I've already gone over. He still has a lot left to do, but at some point, I'd like to have one character that's really accomplished a lot, and that's Skul. I'm going to keep working with Julep, but I think I'm going to keep the main focus on Skulfrak.
