Yes, it is. But even when used in english context it remains “en garde”, it does not get bastardized as “en guard”. It’s embarrassing.

Embarrassingly correct.
We all know the French can’t spell. They spell apple as m’appelle and insist on mercy to buckets. Crazy people.
I drank a tiny quantity of vodka and it is enough to make me drowsy, but not to knock me out.
So now I am in bed feeling like I am dying (Only not really), and with barely any energy to move around in bed.
Yet enough energy to keep myself awake… At least I got a little bit of writing done.
Are you saying I have a fruity hairstyle …?
Not that one, yours clips with the chestguard
Pet peeve is how I always lose at PvP and never understand it.
Every other player can do magical bulldung or take a quarter of my HP out of nowhere, but anything I do does NOTHING.
This is the only game where I stand no chance even against a single opponent and it frustrates me so, this feeling of having no power.
Id rather go back to Overwatch, where I can at least put up a fight in 1v1.
I’ve had wierdly the opposite experience levelling this dude on warmode. I’ve somehow found myself coming away from 2/3 vs 1 in good shape taking down one of the attackers way quicker than expected. No idea how because most of the time I was focussing on running away and somehow through nothing more than a few cursory attacks I’ve managed to fight people off.
Now on my priest opposite story (as disc) which is not what I expected given discs reputation in pvp.
War Mode + Incursion + Alliance Majority + Alliance Bonus = Dev deserving of a chair to the face.
Currently playing warrior, in random battlegrounds / the brawl.
So I’m trying to play but as warrior I can’t 1v1 ANYBODY!!!
I dont know why. Mortal Strike does f*ck all to healers. So I think I am all clever and do it on Monks or Priests but they just stay invincible (or druids, unkillable).
Monks just dodge and fly away all the time with more movement than I have CDs.
Or I think “Hmm, evryone is middle. Bladestorm is like my big ultimate CD, right? Okay let’s do this!”.
So I leap into middle with bladestorm on ,but guess what, it doesn’t do a damn thing to anyone. What’s the POINT of that spell if it does nothing?
What’s even the point of PvP if I as a single player can do nothing?
How do people like Boush or Fearless, whom I know enjoy PvP a lot and are good at it enjoy it?
Are they playing another game entirely? To me, the answer appears to be yes, they do.
These people are blessed by Blizzard, while I am blessed by suck.
And the worst part is the game doesnt even tell me why I fail or lose.
Games like For Honor or Overwatch, I at least know why I lose or why I die.
“Here, you were headshot.” “You didn’t block that guy’s sword strike in time.”
For years I tried, but the game constantly prevents me from ever enjoying PvP or understanding it.
I have bound nearly every spell to a sensible button, played near every class (except shammy), but no matter what I do, it always ends the same.
The only remote fun I have is as a healer or as a rogue where I aim to be disruptive.
I have tried to NOT spam all my abilities, but if I don’t use as many abilities as quickly as possible, I lose DPS.
But I want to be a murder machine! I hate pvp! I hate pvp! I hate pvp! I hate pvp! I hate pvp! I hate pvp! I hate pvp! I hate pvp! I hate pvp! I hate pvp! I hate pvp!
But I won’t give up until I understood and conquered it, victoriously stepping on its ugly head.
That is my PvP peeve rant.

As far as I know arms warriors are currently kinda undertuned because Blizzard didn’t do a great job with balancing their stuff. That’d explain why any sort of damage you do feels irrelevant.
I must agree though, PvP CAN be quite annoying when you feel as if your actions were completely irrelevant. In all fairness, I don’t really like battlegrounds where you as a single person don’t have much influence over the match unless you’re a healer/a good leader who can tell their teammates what to do. I feel like duels/arenas may be your sort of thing, instead!
So, my peeve for today are… battlegrounds.
Kinda odd seeing peeves in regards to Battlegrounds. Meanwhile I have issues with Arenas, and in Battlegrounds I often do pretty darn good (I am playing Horde so that might mean something).
Speaking of Arenas: I think I hate them, and I probably wouldn’t be doing them so much, if I didn’t want another stream of potential gear opened up. Thankfully I have met someone to do Arenas with, but today it felt like opposite day with him, because instead of winning more than losing, we were losing much more than winning.
I don’t know if it was something to do with the enemy compositions, or it was him playing as a Druid (We won the most when he was playing a Shaman), but we were just having some very difficult games. And he also did something that honestly quite annoyed me. We were against a Mage and a Priest (Both DPS), I killed the mage but the Priest killed me. I thought to myself “Okay, he’s a Druid and a healer, he can whittle the guy down and win the game while sustaining himself”. You know what he does? He leaves. Even if I said “Kill him”, because I had faith in him. But nope, he just leaves, because I died, and even if there was only one of them alive. Then he promises not to leave anymore after I give my inspiring speech of “Die fighting, or don’t fight at all” (Essentially saying “Put up a fight if you will die and don’t just leave, or just don’t play at all”)… And then he just stands there anytime I died, not even casting any spells at them or anything.
This is something I see from Healers and it really annoys me. Put up something of a fight, make the enemy use CC or interrupts or whatever, so they feel like they can earn the victory against someone who’s not giving up.
I like to think of myself as a fairly well-rounded PvP player. Best in MOBA games, mediocre in MMOs, terrible in shooters, but I have a strong gut feeling that me and WoW PvP don’t get along really well (At least Arenas and Duels don’t get along with me), and I don’t quite understand why I am playing it. I guess it’s mostly for the weekly and Conquest gear rewards, but unless I get my rating up I won’t really be getting any good Weekly Chest upgrades outside of Titanforges and Warforges. And I am not even playing for the mounts because outside of the Raptor and Warwolf, I just ride around basic unarmored variants that look just as nice.
So my current peeve is: Arenas stink.
Screw trying to fight a 2v1 as a healer in arenas.
When my partner goes down and both of the enemy is alive with near max HP, I’d rather just die and get it over with so I can get into the next game as quick as possible.
Its a waste of both our times if I sat there trying to salvage a bad situation.
Actually we suck in wpvp because the alliance always teams up while the horde is more scattered and focuses on the quests, But when the horde teams up… glorious slaughter commences.
Gotta love it when you just get placed in a 3v3 match but without either of your teammates actually joining in.

People apparently think that once a female character ages past 15 she starts withering and dying. Peak cringe, the profiles that go like “she’s in her late twenties so signs of old age have already arrived…! Wrinkles! GREY HAIR! FRAIL BONES!”

Probably that RP is definitely… uh… on its last legs.
I mean, exactly a year ago we had a fairly big RP-PvP event going on, while at the moment there is… absolutely nothing. And all hubs outside Stormwind are dead and abandoned. Even Stormwind itself feels empty-ish.
It’s well known that this game is not doing well. The erosion is going very fast at the moment.
I don’t think it’s Christmas.

Think I’ll level my orc rogue to max next (she’s 93).
I mean, she is one of my original wrath characters (she’s just changed class a few times between then and now).
But that does mean I’ll have 2 rogues at 120. Also, also, I have to level.
Why people in here have the need to say what characters they have, what lvls are they, and if they are going to lvl it or not. Sorry but who cares
