Quote:Believe it or not but you do learn in pvp to do much the same thing all while being more mobile. I play with my view zoomed out so I can keep an eye out for those nasty rogues that like to get the jump on me while I'm standing still to heal.;)
Uhh, kay? How is that different than what I'm doing at the moment in any raid? :whistling:
"while being more mobile" implies that raiders have some sort of compunction for standing still - far from it, I can't really think of many fights off hand where I get to stand still. Akama and Kaz'rogal come to mind and that's pretty much it? Perhaps Mother? I know I'm getting pretty defensive, but it's the most often played card in these types of discussions - that somehow PvP is a magically fluid, mobile beast, while PvE is standing still and blasting things.
No... I'm standing there, zoomed out, watching for a "rogue", which in my case is a targetted AoE, or a cue to go stand somewhere and do something. I can't really tell the difference in terms of "skill" at situational awareness.
On the flip side of the coin, I also can't think of any fight where you do NOTHING but run for the whole fight, either. So arena teaching me to run away at full tilt, keeping CoEx on everything and running out of LoS, doesn't really help my raiding either.
Edit: I r fail spelling.
