You can get them in Shadowmoon Valley (green fire) or BRD Molten Core (red fire).
Absolutely. I did a lot of sheeping on Moroes as my priest, and fearing on Opera/Wizard of Oz as my warlock. You’d even CC regular multi-pulls in there and in other instances.; it was essential or you would wipe the whole raid. These days, places where you absolutely need it out in Northrend are pretty few and far between.
He was walking into the inn I had just hearthed to and the stomp made me jump, I thought we were under attack. Helped me pick up the Honorable Kill Achievement too as I piled into a fight with the hunter and few others, some Horde lunatic trying to run through Southshore.
Apropos of nothing, I have to share a quick story that occurred last night just before I went to bed. I was on my level 18 Night Elf rogue in Auberdine, having just finished helping my GF with a couple of quests. I was getting ready to log out, but before I did I swapped windows to read a few things (I think I was actually checking the Dope). When I came back to WoW, I had an offer to duel on my screen.
Now, I’m not a PVPer. I’ll play Alterac Valley for the weapon you can get at 51, but it’s really not my thing, and duels in particular are very much not my thing, especially uninvited ones. I usually turn them down immediately on principle. But I’d seen this guy bugging my GF in another part of Auberdine before I swapped windows, and I guess he must have been trying to get people to duel him randomly. I saw him running around outside the inn, where I was, and noticed he was level 13. Now, come on. You’re going to /duel random people without asking, you’re going to /duel folks 5 levels above you, then not even have the courtesy to hang around?
I accepted the duel and tracked him down during the countdown. I reached him from behind as soon as the countdown finished, and then I dismembered him. He didn’t even realize what had happened before it was too late. 
I’m no fan of ganking, but hey…he challenged me.
I was challenged to a duel when I was in my 20s by a very low level character near Stormwind I was bored so accepted, cast Consecration and waited. After this another duel challenge popped up and I accepted it immediately to see a DK standing there. That was a brief duel.
I’ve never understood that. I mean, I’m so non-PVP that I turn down all duels, but what good does a duel with two people who have even 5 levels difference? The higher-level one is going to win. Similarly, why does a lvl 50 even WANT to duel a lvl 10 newb?
My best guess: They’re jerks who just want to beat other players, and don’t much care how.
Can’t recall if I posted this in this thread and it’s really freaking long by now - my first-ever duel by my warlock was done at lvl 80. I was running a lvl 20-something friend through an instance, and some guy over 10 lvls above him was challenging him to duels, and my friend was turning it down. I was standing behind this guy, so I sent him a challenge. He accepted it, and I blew him up into a thin red mist. Or, I would have if they let you actually kill the dueled person - make that a duel over in one dot, one shot. He whined about how it wasn’t fair, and I said that neither was dueling someone 10 levels below you.
Seeing the achievement pop up, cue a few of my early-teenage male guild members going “omg you’re a warlock and you haven’t dueled until level 80?!” :rolleyes: Sorry, I didn’t realize it was in the job description.
I had a thought that perhaps there was an achievement earned for participating in X number of duels, but all I can find are achievements that require you to actually win duels or otherwise make the kill. I don’t see an achievement for participation. That would at least explain a lowbie challenging a high-level.
High-levels challenging lowbies are just jerks.
The only raid pulls we use CC on are the trash leading up to Freya. I had to add my banish button to my bars, which gives you some idea how long it has been since we needed to CC. I just remembered, we fear the sappers leading to Mirmirion too–I think I’m trying to block the memory of that trash (trash named Trash though :D)
I miss the CC, the complexity. I haven’t used any CC in any instance between Sunwell and Uludar (exclusive, obviously). There’s no feeling of accomplishment to moving out of the green/red/whatever shit and get back to dpsing.
From a Shaman’s point of view, the whole CC thing is slightly annoying. Shamans, in the BC expansion, didn’t have any crowd control at all. Now, we get Hex at level 80. When CC is hardly used at all. :rolleyes:
It’s fun to use in PvP, when I remember to use it. I haven’t had it used on me, but supposedly the Hexed player still has control of their movement, but can’t attack or cast. Anyone want to duel me and find out?
PvP is probably my favorite aspect of the game since the Death of CC. I often challenge higher level toons to duels. Sometimes I die but I win often too. I used to hang out at Halaa WAY too much in my mid 60s. When PvP first started (on Care Bear servers) I think I spent *months *waging war on Southshore. That was back on my alli mage, my first toon (sniff). At that point shammys were uber and that’s when FROST SHOCK owned in PvP. I am SO happy they made AV tokens a requirement for For the Horde/Alliance, as Alliance have started playing AV again. I can’t help but wax nostalgic and shed a little tear when I see someone get the druids out in AV and I remember the epic, 8 hour-long games when both Ivus and Lok’ would be summoned and ram and wolf rider armies would stream across the map…
I need a fix man.
Frost Shock is back! With the right talent, it roots as well as slows. I haven’t used it yet, though, since with dual specs I’ve been PvP’ing as a healer. I actually won Wintergrasp without dying (Horde on offense). I hung back and healed, along with a couple other healers. We helped each other as needed. That was a lot of fun.
Well guys, I re-specced my Ret Pally to followthis particular talent distribution except for one thing…I just can’t part with my Seal of Command, so instead of having 2 points in Divine Guardian, there will be only one unless I go and pay to remove the talent once I’m convinced that Seal of Command is worthless claimed by Elitist Jerks.
I’m hoping that my re-speccing will be helpful in boosting everyone’s dps when I get to hang with you like a 25th wheel or something. Just dinged at 79 last night, so hopefully soon. I’m still getting used to this new batch of spells…not as much damage as I used to dish out, but overall, it’s supposed to help the raid en total.
I worked up gnome warlock up to level 30, but ended up deleting her. I couldn’t see squat! My voidwalker was always in the way, I couldn’t see bankers or auctioneers to click on them because of all the humans, elves & dranei. Heck, there are places I thought I’d get lost in the tall grass 
I replaced her with a dranei. Now I can see.
There’s also a white one on Azuremyst Isle: The Kurken - NPC - World of Warcraft. That’s my CH.
The Kurken is Lurkin’!
Someone on my realm said a few days ago that the auction house was gnomist, because he couldn’t see over the counters. I deleted my gnome because after the fun of making a character in every race wore off, I realized that I only used two of them–the night elf and the tauren. I did get BC the other day and made a draenei and a blood elf, after much debate during character creation. I nearly made the blood elf male; there was one with a kickass haircut I really liked. All my characters are female, though; I just don’t like the look of most of the males.
Ugh, yeah. The only handsome males in the game are Blood Elves and Draenei. Every other race has the fugliest males ever.
Tell me about it. Even the Alliance races, which are supposed to be the pretty people. Humans are bald, night elves have gorilla arms, and gnomes have some weirdass hair and frankly just look like rats. I actually think dwarves look okay, but dwarves is dwarves and not necessarily meant to be attractive. Sturdy and rugged, yes, but not attractive. Of course, dwarf males look okay, but I think I’ve only ever seen one dwarf female. The females aren’t ugly, just plain, but compared to the rest of the Alliance they might as well be orcish.
None of the original Horde races are terribly attractive, either, although the Taurens have a sort of wholesomeness and proportion to them.
Then you have the Draenei, with the damned sexy not-evil-succubus women and broad-shouldered, tall men, and the Blood Elves, which are all just downright hot. Even the tentacles don’t do much to detract from the Draenei men. My Draenei looks more like a wise, tough Paladin than any of the humans could.
Human males almost all have this harelip thing going on. The gnomes all look like Billy Barty (which is NOT a compliment). The dwarves all look half-crazy. The night elves are just…their faces are like Brutalist buildings…they’re just big and blocky and ugly.
Orcs, trolls, undead and tauren aren’t supposed to be pretty (and they’re really not). The one race/sex combo I absolutely don’t play is female troll (anymore). I only realized after I’d gotten one to lvl 30 that they don’t blink! EVER! It’s unsettling. Every other player race model in the game blinks except female trolls.
