kaziganthi is now level 60. what is left for him?

i brought banger, my level 35, now 36, undead rogue to stranglethorn vale. anyone who's played the game, across all servers i think, but possibly just ours, knows how shithouse that zone is. as a warrior, i experienced endless frustration, even grouped with 2 other people, usually because we didn't have a healer and our fights were usually along the lines of 8 vs 3. kaziganthi met his end many a time in that accursed vale.

the tally: me 14, alliance 0. give or take 3 kills for me. conclusion: rogues are gods.

it first started when i was fighting a basilisk and minding my own business. a gnome - of course - mage, Erick (he has my name, spelled crappily, but still), pyroblasts me in the middle of my fight! i wait for the DOT to wear off, then vanish. i jump in the water, and laugh as he runs in circles up and down the coast, even casting frost nova in a vain attempt to reveal me.

i stalk him for 5 minutes or so. unfortunately (and this shows that things have NOT changed since i leveled kaziganthi out of that zone), there are FOUR other alliance hunting nearby. while erick is running around like a chicken missing its head, he comes close to me and hears the noise that means i am nearby. he novas and reveals me. instantly 5 alliance come after me. i sprint away and stealth. i laugh as i wait in the water, while they futilely search for me.

i come across a 32 hunter fighting. i sap him, kill him pet, and then i slaughter him.

on my way up north, who do i see, but our gnome mage, fighting without any alliance nearby? i cheap shot him while he's fighting a basilisk, kidney shot him when he's low, and he's dead before he manages to cast one spell. i /laugh at him and /spit on his corpse.

up north at the troll camp, i see a 37 paladin. i watch as she fights a mob and then an add. i could have cheap shotted her when she was almost dead and killed her easily, but i give her the benefit of the doubt. i sap her after she is done fighting, to show that i could have ganked her but did not. i /wave. when sap breaks, she comes after me! i sprint away and then stealth.

i stalk her for a while. she is afraid to pull because she knows i am waiting. but eventually her impatience gets the better of her and she pulls a mob. i cheap shot her, kidney shot her, she dies. i /laugh at her and move on. i'm sure she was a he, but since the avatar was female. i'll refer to the person behind her as such.

i see a warrior and a druid. i wait until they finish fighting, so they'll get the xp. i sap the druid and start in on the warrior (usually you kill the caster first, especially if he is a healer, but druids are another story). druid breaks out of sap before i finish the warrior, but he sucks and doesn't heal his friend. warrior dies. druid roots me and starts to run. i vanish to break root, and then i sprint and chase him down in cheetah form! it was glorious, as amanda likes to say.

i kill the same 44 mage twice. i wait until he pulls, waits until he is almost done casting his 6 second pyroblast, and then i cheap shot and kidney shot him before he can do anything. one time he turned around and tried to run when he had crippling poison on him! not very smart. he did get a head start with frost nova and blink, but i sprinted and cut him down.

i wait until a 36 gnome rogue finished fighting, and then i cheap shotted him. he gouges me and vanishes! i think that's cool, so i /clap. he cheap shots me. i gouge and vanish! great stuff. then i cheap shot and destroy him.

i see a 32 hunter nearby, and i sap him and kill his pet and then him. not much honor. right after this, the 36 rogue comes back. we do the same thing, only this time he manages to pull 5 mobs, and while running away, pulls a couple more. the poor bastard. i run him down while stealthed and finish him off.

there are some more kills i think i didn't mention, but they aren't memorable, since i don't remember them.
