Patch 3.2 is bringing us new content related to the Argent Tournament, badge changes, class changes, and new raptor pets. One additional change to WoW in the upcoming patch is the introduction of the new 40-player battleground: Isle of Conquest. It will have strategies and mechanics that you’ve seen before in Wintergrasp and Strand of the Ancients, along with a system of objectives similar to Alterac Valley.

As a huge fan of Wintergrasp, and an old school fan of epic Alterac Valley matches, I can’t wait to try this out!

Just because I don’t have enough to do in World of Warcraft, I’ve decided to start a new level 19 Horde twink. I’m kidding about not having enough to do, of course. I miss playing Battlegrounds and I figured it would be faster to get a character from 1-10 than play my Shaman, Warlock, or second Paladin to eighty. I’ve converted my banker, a Tauren Hunter, to my PvP twink and am currently level seven. As my banker is firmly planted in Thunder Bluff, she — yes, I said “she” — can easily queue up for Warsong Gulch and watch the auction house for twink gear that non-twink players put up for sale.

My shopping list currently includes all of the following: Sentry Cloak, Forest Leather Bracers, Gloves of the Fang, Scouting Trousers of the Monkey, and Twisted Chanter’s Staff. My Leatherworking Rogue will craft a Deviate Scale Belt, rounding out my bind-on-equip gear.

My current goal is to level her to ten and head to Trisfal Glades outside of Undercity. There, I will tame a Vicious Night Web Spider for their Web ability which “encases the target in sticky webs, preventing movement for 4 seconds.” I predict hijinks ensuing very soon!
