Can't remember which stat led to this inference unfortunately. I believe it was something from arena junkies, something about people in our battlegroup stood out as above the others. Perhaps the number of people ranked or something. Ok so I dont really know, but Bloodlust is hard. That's all im saying :P If I can find the original info ill post accordingly. Gratz on your rating btw, one great thing about having no healer is you dont end up with 10 minute 2v2 arena matches every single time. Running out of mana and gems in an arena makes me feel so.... useless. me + pally vs druid + warrior last night took for EVER...and we lost... and we had them again next round! *tears hair out* I was reading somewhere once that Bloodlust is the most difficult battlegroup to get a good rating in.

First off: That "screenshot" is made out of win. You have a career as a web comic creator somewhere deep down. Second: Sounds like a combination of stress, panic, and excitement all rolled into one got the best of you. I'm glad it worked out and you won. Congrats. Third: PvP - accept no substitute. :) -Cambios Blogging about Online Gaming and Virtual Worlds: http://www.muckbeast.com Dude…….

The shaky-hands feeling is all too familiar... when it's a tight game, and I know I can have it if I'm *perfect*, my whole body gets tingly.

In the cyclone battlegroup the 1650's are pretty much full vengeful healer/dps that would probably be near impossible for a mage/lock combo. What battlegroup are you in?

This is also why I hate 2's---it's the most stressful bracket for me with the most little reward. Stressful in one sense because depending on the classes involved, it can take you 10-15 minutes.. and then you see you only gained 12-13 rating points. Sigh. Stressful in another sense that it often does come down to 1v1 situations which become really intense. Any losses that result from 1v1 hit you harder because it was just you---doubt starts to creep in, hesitation grows, and all those could've/should've/would've thoughts nag at you because it was all on your shoulders.
