So you’ll have to wait a bit longer for my promised update on Rhii’s downtime. My partner in crime has been a little hard to nail down for the screenshot extravaganza I’ve been planning. But instead, let me show you my newest achievements!
What it doesn't say is Level 80 DK...
Yep, it’s true. My PvP-phobic little Rhii took down a level 80 DK this weekend. With the help of some Goldshire guards… but they just softened him up, she did most of the work herself. I think he must have been on his way to the Darkmoon Faire, actually, and I feel a little bad about slaying him mercilessly in the road.
Wait, no I don’t. I was so excited about it I started yelping in /g like … well like a girl.
What I didn’t realize (even though Adreanna tried to tell me) is that PvP is a rush. I swear, I had tingles all over when I saw that DK go down. I wonder what he thought? I bet he was embarrassed. A level 72 mage and some NPC guards should not have wiped him out like that. In my excitement I forgot to screenshot his corpse… I forgot to /hug him… I forgot everything except looking at my new 5 honor I can probably never do anything with…
Unless I start learning to PvP more. Why am I suddenly tempted? This was almost certainly a fluke. I am bad at PvP. The last time I accepted a duel invite I was killed by a Shammy’s totem, for crying out loud. The shammy was gracious and healed me up afterwards, so I have no hard feelings, but there’s the proof, I’m BAD. I have never won a duel, in fact. Despite having featured in several of them. You can see that achievement all greyed out in my screenshot.
But I like winning, and that excitement was real. Hm. Something to think about.
I’ve also been working on my cooking again, and managed to get these beauties as well:

We do love Northrend. We do.

That first world PvP kill is what got me started on BGs. Mine was a shaman, though… DKs still rock me. ~pout~
Everytime a DK kills a Mage, a little of the Magic in the world disappears…
Evertime a Mage kills a DK…. we all Cheer… Yay!
Grats on the kill, especially against an 80!
Now you have the scent of blood, there will be no stopping you tracking down the other kills you want.
If that is the case then it looks like the magic of the world is in trouble!
Seriously though, you don't have to be good from the get go to enjoy PvP. Particularly as a ranged nuker.
Just hide behind the tough guys and sling big nasty fireballs at anyone who is below half HP or is a caster. Run like a girl if you get attacked, then nuke some more.
Then talk a healer into keeping you up while you do some suicide bombing… That is fun fun fun! Just remember to save enough mana to blink the hell outta dodge when things turn nasty (generally after 3 – 5 seconds)
I totally agree…I can remember back in the early weeks of TBC. There was this little Gnome Mage in AV with a Spellfire set. He would hide in these little bushes and just scorch the crap out of everyone. You couldn't see who was doing the dmg cause scorch has no trail. I had to look up in my combat log to get his name and make a target macro to squash the little bugger.
Your first world PvP encounters are really a rush. I can recall back in the day how intense things got and how my heart would be beating out of my chest. I honestly got an adrenaline rush. In about a week it will probably stop happening because dying in PvP becomes a regular thing.
I'm really psyched about the battlegrounds in 3.2. I'm looking forward to greater rewards for time spent PvPing. Questing is kinda boring for me now.
Grats
I really enjoy PvP and I do it a lot at lower levels. I love being able to jump into BGs now at any time, it makes soloing so much more interesting and breaks up the routine 
I just wish there were some low level armour sets!
