I made some strides with Aynaka, the undead mage I started last month (in World of Warcraft, of course). I got her to level 23. I posted some screenshots of her early on, when she wasn’t looking very mage-like. Here she is now, properly garbed in a robe.
As I’d mentioned in some earlier posts, I usually don’t like to go into the Battlegrounds when I’m at the low end of the level range. But I made an exception with Aynaka, because I figured she just rocks so much, she’d do ok. I played two matches of Warsong Gulch today with her at level 23. It was great. I love Mana Shield and Blink. For those who don’t play mages, Mana Shield absorbs physical damage and drains mana instead, and Blink pops you 20 yards straight ahead of where you are, also removing any ensnaring spells in the process. I had a couple of situations where four or five high levels were pounding me and I still managed to escape. Sheep one, Frost Nova the rest, Shield and Blink away. It was awesome.
I took on a druid one-on-one who was two or three levels above me and managed to take her down. She just kept healing herself. Haha. That’s not getting get me to stop!
Both matches were with a lot of the same people, and it was rather clear that the Alliance didn’t know what they were doing. We won the second match in about 10 minutes. They were not well organized. But in that second match, despite most of the players being higher level than me, I had the most honor kills. Yippee!
Still really loving playing the mage. Though I’m getting to that middle level where the first bloom comes off the rose and all. Here’s hoping this one sticks. (Not that I don’t like my other characters, but I’m having a lack of interest in playing on a PvP server, so Raelle is not getting as much attention as she might. But I did get some more PvP in with her this week. She’s at level 29, so I don’t quite want to level her yet, because I don’t think a level 30 priest will last long in the BGs).
