Quote: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.

What I mean to say is that PvP can train you to use that muscle memory you use in pve while also teaching you the situational awareness you need to survive fights. And when I mean 'you' I mean the generic 'you' not you personally. It sounds like you've developed the skills you need for situational awareness in pve - whereas in my raiding group we still have folks who stand in fires. >.>
