Endgame Viable

Last night I jumped into a PvP brawl. Armsbig (level 21) was just passing through Goldshire when a Horde raiding party descended on the town. I surveyed the enemies and spotted a level 20 guy among the level ?? raiders. I tried to target him, but he was killed before I could even get my sword out. Then I saw a level 24 guy, targeted him, and hit the ol’ “2” key to deliver a Heroic Strike. I managed to land a single hit before the rest of the defenders killed him. (I think I hit him, at least. I couldn’t really see through the crowd of people.) I then expected to be killed instantly by some level 60 Horde mage or something, but by then all the Horde raiders were dead or gone. I went on my merry way, happy in the knowledge that my single PvP blow probably saved the whole town.

[Update: Astute readers, and this writer, should realize that a warrior cannot open with a Heroic Strike without some accumulated rage, but I distinctly remember hearing the sword-swinging sound effect, so it’s likely that my character swung at the targeted fellow normally. Or maybe some other warrior was swinging at him at the same time I was trying a Herioc Strike, but that would mean I didn’t save the town after all, so I choose to disregard that possibility.]
