World of Warcraft at Ten Ton Hammer

Ten Ton Hammer: Are you excited about the Dual Spec stuff coming out?

Matt: Oh yeah. I'm pumped.

Y'know, I don't get why my teams so bad at the Arena. We consider ourselves to be good players, and we've gotten up to 1600 a few times, but we always go right back down. It doesn't make sense. I've just come to realize that we're not that good.

I thought it took some coordination to do PvE, but PvP is just a step beyond that. I feel like we're doing everything right, but we still get rocked.

Ten Ton Hammer: Those gamers are hardcore. They're like, "You might be an Olympic swimmer but I play WoW all the time."

Matt: Yup. There was actually one Sunday where we decided to skip raiding and just play a bunch of arena games. We did get a lot better; we figured out our healer wasn't good. He doesn't line-of-sight well.

Ten Ton Hammer: What'd you like the most about the new expansion?

Matt: Mages got a lot better. That was nice.

As much as I say I don't like leveling, I really do like leveling.

Ten Ton Hammer: Did you try rolling up the Death Knight?

Matt: Yeah I did, but I think he's only up to 64 or something like that. But my friend rolled up a Death Knight and I had a Ret. Paladin that I could level up to 80.

Ten Ton Hammer: So what's your favorite achievement so far?

Matt: I know people go all out for the heroic achievements, and I've gotten into groups to knock a whole bunch of those out. But I think my favorite so far is a PvP achievement that wants you to kill 100 people in a gunner seat. That one was really cool because, for some reason, no one was killing my gun and I was just nuking people for ten minutes.

It's something like "ammunition master" or something like that.
