“To this day, my husband and I giggle about the time when we were playing on a WoW PvP server and some undead rogue kept ganking us. And then, realizing he was outmatched, he jumped into the water (since undead can stay underwater longer). Welp, as a druid I shapechanged into a seal so as to swim faster and catch up with him. Plus, seals can stay underwater indefinitely. I chased him down and beat him to death with mah flippers (very slowly).”
What is it about rogues? I recall getting my orc warrior getting jumped by a gnome rogue in Hellfire. He had me stunned and down at 50% before I was able to break out and flatten him. He had me dead to rights and I still won – and I suck, absolutely suck, at PvP.
How bad do you have to be to get beaten to death by a seal?
Everybody who wants to gank people plays a rogue, because stealth + stun = instant win, obviously. So that attracts a lot of people who would like to gank, but are horrible at PvP. I wouldn’t be surprised if, on average, rogues on PvP servers are the worst-performing class because of the influx of that kind of people.
Though I think night elf hunter with a cat was popular too, because both could stealth…
