World of Warcraft®

I wonder which side has better PvPers, and who would win in a knockdown, drag-out brawl with no holds barred, bring your cousin to shank 'em in the back, all bets off, no fouling out, hit 'em below the belt, rip her weave out, and spank the monkey...wait where am I going with this?

Oh yeah.

I wonder who'd win in a fight between the two RP factions.
Liore vs Imperon, or Abominus vs Orwyn.

Trenetir vs Kordrion, Derscha vs sombodyorother.

I crave this. I didn't know I wanted this until now.

A PVP smackdown thread gets made and I'm not even mentioned!? ;_;

/quits WoW

I think it's because we're too busy laughing visualizing Mormel actually fighting somebody. Or her opponent surrendering to her powers of snark. Either or.

Trenetir vs Kordrion, Derscha vs sombodyorother.

HEY! I wanted to fight Mormel! Oh wait... we're friends now.

pfft, I'd so roll Tren (Probably because of massive outgearing but still)

I think it's because we're too busy laughing visualizing Mormel actually fighting somebody. Or her opponent surrendering to her powers of snark. Either or.

Since we're talking RP-PvP, let me tell you an RP-PvP story (taking a few liberties with the details for ease of retelling.)

Imagine this scene: Mormel, controlled by a demon, facing down half a dozen people. The demon has been attempting to abduct both Mormel and Kezrin. A deal is made; the demon will face each of them in one-on-one combat, and if any of them win, he'll leave the goblins in peace, but if all of them fail...

A fighting order is established. Mormel decides to take off a piece of gear every time she wins to account for battle fatigue. At the very end of the fight list is poor little Kezrin, who is very much hoping that she won't have to personally fight for her life.

Her player is very much hoping that, too, because:

1) As much as I love the class, I'm a terrible shaman, and even worse in PvP

BUT, that point is mostly moot because:

2) It's an RP fight, so only IC abilities could be used.

Not a problem for everyone else, who actually used their class as part of their RP.

However, for not-actually-an-IC-shaman Kezrin.... I could look forward to auto attacking.

So Kezrin (and me) nervously watch as the first challenger steps up. And loses. A piece of gear is removed.

Challenger number two... another loss, another piece of gear gone.

Three and four go by; you'd hardly notice that Mormel's stats had taken a huge hit.

Ellua, the last person before Kezrin, takes her turn. Kezrin fervently wishes her luck, and I start wondering just how I'm going to save her. Even if I did pull out "secret shaman powers!," there was still pretty much a guarantee that I'd loose in a straight up PvP duel. I frantically started to think of RP alternatives as Ellua's battle dragged on.

But then, finally, the demon was defeated. They were saved, the people rejoiced, and Kezrin didn't have to worry about stabbing anything.

Yes, there was some initial gear bias in Mormel's favor, "it wasn't Mormel IC," etc., etc.... but I'm going to withhold on laughing at the thought of Mormel fighting anyone until I see it in action. :)

NOW, as for Dercha v. Somebodyorother... are we talking IC skills or PvP skills? I can already tell you I'd lose any 1v1. And IC wise, Derscha's a pudgy little baker. Perhaps if you give her time to prepare the arena with some carefully placed explosives and itching powder, she'd have a chance. :)

CHALLENGE ACCEPTED

Well, with an ender like that, there is actually only one match you can possibly get into.

Ardam versus Abominus.

Never underestimate the power of snark.

Actually Mormel, as herself, did have an IC PVP battle against Icea once a long time ago and won. She is also fairly strong IC but she deliberately tries to hide or undersell her abilities. In contrast Gerhilda is something of the opposite of Mormel. She is a complete klutz and an astoundingly incompetent mage IC but -tries- to portray herself as talented. Of course the reality is Gerhilda would probably lose to a kobold.

OOC I'm better in PVP as Mormel than Gerhilda although my strong suit is in large team play, ala BGs, rather than 1v1 duels. Still I like to think of myself as a somewhat decent, if a bit cut throat, PVPer.

YAPA PIE!

I fought Lio once. He couldn't kill me, I couldn't kill him.

The heals are too stronk.

Throw down again after WoD hits and let me know if the healz have actually been nerfed.
