Ok, so some make a twink to annihilate level 15, 300 hp noobs. Some make a twink to duel and flex their epeen when they win. Some twink to be part of a 10 man premade. Some twink because they are bored. I TWINK FOR ALL THOSE AND MORE. Never really been much of a solo’er though. I have a large epeen, but never needed to win arena matchs and duels to feel good about it. The arena and the WSG are obviously quite different, and most classes are played a bit different between them. Anyhow, I have been enjoying the arena game a little. I am not that great in the arena, but it’s fun to learn and understand the term “pillar humper”.
OK, so that brings me to a discussion I’d like to bring to the table. Etiquette. What’s cool? What’s not? Your toon has abilities. Use them. You spent time to get an AGM, use it. You have bandages, they are allowed, use them. You have the mining bug, it’s there, you have to use it. Lastly, you spent hours and hours leveling herbalism, use it? That’s the question. I have had 3 people quit on me in arena matches right after I use my Lifeblood. If I don’t have an AGM and someone uses theirs, should I leave since I don’t have it? I kind of feel that you should use any skill or ability Blizzard allows when in the arena unless otherwise stated before hand.
So ya, tell me about any written or unwritten rules for arena play from your battlegroup.

I’ve always been told; “Don’t use that, don’t do that” but IMO, everything that is Usable, is okay to use.
I agree if you can use it in the Arenas then go for it. You worked hard and did your research.
Honestly I’ve never minded when people use extras against me in arenas or duels. If I lose, no biggie, I normally had it under control until that point. If I win, then I get a massive e-peen flex.
Anything goes in arena, even exploited gear. unless its like a set up match and the other team asked you not to use lifeblood/naxx/sploits.
The number one rule is don’t lose if you can win by any sort of trickery unless you agree on certain rules with the other person beforehand. That is the most respectful to the other player -giving them your a-game so when they do beat you it means something. Shayke was the ultimate at this. He would regen life running around a pillar for six minutes. Nobody should be beating the 450/450 Drayner ever. Don’t let them. Run for two minutes to get your lifeblood back.
honestly, if you use an ability that someone else could have, but doesnt it just means you are more prepared than they are. Tell them to QQ more noob and continue rollin.
ok….well this is pretty much it…i do agree that the both the mining buff and lifebloom are very difficult to attain and because of the player’s dedication to their twink should be able to use them – in MOST situations…But…I think it is rather unfair to use this in an arena unless otherwise stated that lifebloom is “allowed”. I have a complete twink rogue and a complete twink mage that i made over 2 years ago…well, both have 2 bars to ding…yah…no chance of me ever getting either mining (when it’s patched) or herb…When i go into a game and fight a twink with both of these advantages, you cant help but understand my frustration when victory is clear in sight then taken away from under me. I also think it is, i hate to say, “ignorant” to believe that because a player does NOT have these profession bonuses, it is because of their laziness and lack of dedication. Believe me, if my rogue and mage had enough experience to attain these bonuses, i would do it in a heartbeat, but i cant and i have to work with what i have… But in the situation that a player DOES in fact decide to use lifebloom in a tough situation in an arena vs a twink w/o mining/herb, i can only wish that the player using these advantages can admit defeat w/o being an asshole about the thing. That’s just my opinion, but w/e.
@Coldz
I remade my funny enchanted hunter twink to get the talbar mantle, you can remake your twink to get the profession buffs. The point of twinking is to be the best of the best, maybe I should keep all my gear in my bag and run around in greens because it would be more fair to the non twinks…
^^ Fully**
ROFL and how long have you been playing twinks? really …. do u understand that both my twinks costed me well over 5000g ? im sorry if im being too harsh but for u to say i could just remake them is just a stupid remark. Do you understand that both my mage and my rogue probably costed me a good 5000 gold? or you most likely do NOT understand this as you make your statement without any idea of what you are even saying. Do you ALSO understand that it id have to refish over 4 different fishing gear pieces for both twinks when it took me 27 weeks alone to just get myhat on my first twink? And as insignificant as this is, achieving a battle standard solely through wsg and no ez mode wintergrasp with over 20k kills? you honestly dont understand how serious some people take twinking and after inputting all i have into each of my twinks, it’s easier said than done just “remaking” a twink for a couple of profession buffs
*srry for the repeat of how much gold i spent >>
@ Coldz – I do understand your dilema with XP. Armory Former on Draka. He has Battle Standard, 22k kills, 375 mining and 300 herbalism. I am rerolling him as we speak so I can get 450/450. Not saying everyone has the time and resources to do this, but I want my guy to be perfect. My alliance Drayner on Bronzebeard will be almost perfect, but he’s new too.
well im in the process of completing a new warlock as well….i posted my goals in the 10-19 forums but im just saying …. its unfair to say that a player is lazy or not dedicated because they didnt go and reroll a twink for 2 extra advantages …. and tbh, yes using them to your advantage is great and all and im all for it but the only thing that i cant stand is listening to people /flex their epeen cause won a 2v2 when they had lifebloom/mining and we didnt….really? i mean that means my team has to break through an extra 1400 hp(1000 hp after patch) that they dont… and thats not including how many times they might have healed with lifeblood….idk in my opinion/ response to this whole post, if ur gonna use it go right ahead but dont be a soar loser or a soar winner either about it….thats all i got to say
Everything is allowed in Arena. I guess the your opponents who left figured there’s no way they can win after you popped lifeblood, tough shit
I’m thinking about rerolling my rogue at some point for 450/450 (respectively 525 and so on at some point o_O) profession buffs. I dont even care about the gold but loosing my Fishing gear, AGM, Shadowfang (lolz), 2 meadows and Tabard of frost would sure suck.
Everything but the shadowfang is certainly doable.
@Coldz
Well I don’t really understand why you are so reluctant to make another twink. In my opinion making the twink is the part i like the most, thats probably why I have 6 atm… I agree that the fishing gear is annoying to get and it takes awhile, but if you think the brof buffs are so overpowered that “you cant help but understand my frustration when victory is clear in sight then taken away from under me” then these “2 extra advantages” seem like great reasons to remake your twinks. On my battlegroup I’m fine with my bugged mining and no herb, it seems like if someone is dedicated enough to get lifebloom they deserve to beat me.
yes remaking the twink is fun and all but things like shadowfang, assassin’s blades, and other rare items dont just come right to you again…and try directing your posts at any other player….depending on a person’s circumstance, you cant just label them as bad/lazy for their RL responsibilities…i myself am in 4 honours courses at my high school and am always extremely busy…when you see a player w/o fishing hat or boots , do you see them as “bad/lazy”? could it be that they have something in real life preventing them from being able to attain this goal or they have tried for years to no avail? also , i have a full character list on my acct…am i going to delete one of my 70(+)’s to make a lvl 19? im certainly not going to waste RL money that i do not have on an server xfer…ok then delete my old 19…the one that ive been playing for over 2 years with over 20k kills on and start ALLL over….there are so many things you have to look at when looking at a subject like this and to simply say “remake your twink” is , like i said before, MUCH easier SAID than done
I stacked up on shadowfangs and Rare items just like this so I could reroll any class that couldn’t follow the evolution of twinking.
I mean, I consider rerolling Exavion due to Inferno Robe.
i like twinks so much that i don’t even have a main
they suck!
and after level 20, wow is just copy paste… copy level 10-20 (with Deadmine instance) and paste at level 20-30, 30-etc… (with some little changes, instead of a Deadmine is a deadtemple… deadmountain… deadprison… deadetc).
so i choose level 29 because there is nothing new for me after level 29!!!
And I take twinking like a CS game… all that matters is frags (aka KB).
BTW … the forum is offline for a week… i can;t get in… it s some kinda error … internet explorer could not open page http://twinkinfo.com/forums/f5
operation aborted…
what is this?!
srry if my posts lead anyone to believe im just some pessimistic asshole but its just my opinion and i can get a bit argumentative when it comes to my beliefs….we should all be able to have our own thoughts on a topic like this and no 1 should be the ultimate correct idea…srry for creating so much havoc in this post hehe >.<
If you can use it, go for it. Just realize when the other player is a better player and you just out geared/profession’ed him. 2v1 is lame though.
/agree with Misda
anyone notice how you can use lifeblood (rank any) but not lay on hands in the arena?
/nerf
imo if some1 takes the time to get lifeblood then its a skill they learnt just like an OP CD, say like a bubble only better because u have to work harder. since when is it a crime to use the rewards of your hard grind to 450 herblism
In a 1 vs 1 you expect a class to blow all there c/ds on you , if this includes lifeblood then so be it. If its so overpowered they have the option to get it. So yea on other twinks i’d use it but if your 1 on 1 a lower level / quest gear then I’d probably not use it and take a defeat (unlikely though =p)
