World PVP - the worst shaman on Stormscale

A few nights ago, I was helping a couple of guildies run through some quests in the Arathi Highlands. Specifically, they needed to kill a couple of bosses in Stromgarde Keep.

I logged onto my 60 rogue and met them outside of the keep. We cleared the path and went into the keep. Just as we were about to kill the two bosses (we had our backs to the wall and I was explaining to them what I was going to do), 3 horde came crashing into the room and "stole" the kills.

Needless to say I was not happy. As luck would have it, it was only a 60 shaman, a 38 shaman and a 38 priest. I had a couple of mid-30s with me (a lock and a rogue). While the 60 shaman was killing the bosses, I snuck up behind him (I was stealthed before they came into the room) and laid the smack down. He went down like a cheap whore. :-D We then proceeded to kill the other two.

After the bosses respawned, we killed them. Instead of hearthing out, we decided to go back outside to see what was there. The horde had called in some of their buddies because we now had 2 level 60 shaman (note: shaman are among the most overpowered classes in the game. They are not to be taken lightly because, for the most part, they'll tear apart anyone that gets in their way), a 38 shaman, a 38 priest and maybe one other.

By this time, one of our other locks (high 50s) joined us. When I saw we were up against 2 level 60 shaman, I said, "I'm outta here", but before I could leave, the 50'ish lock that showed up (Areso) said that we could take them.

I was skeptical, but decided to stay. Let me just say that the shaman must have been the worst on the server because I was able to kill both of them with very little help. The typical encounter with a shaman is: DoT, DoT, Deathcoil, dead or something close to that. :-) These guys truly sucked. They didn't put up an DoTs (death over time -- spells that will kill you over a period of time), they didn't try to heal themselves or anything else you'd expect from a shaman.

After wiping out their group, we stuck around for a few. They res'd and started putting up totems (essentially, totems give shaman and the groups they're in special "buffs" or other nastiness). We waited for the totems to go down and as soon as they did, we hit them.

So, not only did we find the worst shaman on the server, they came back for more! :-D

Good times. The only regret I have is that I can't recall the names of the shaman we killed. :-(
