I decided to drop mining and pick up herb to make raid consumables less of a chore. Not that it is a pain, 1 round of dailies covers the cost for 2-3 nights of raiding.
So I am running around Azshara getting close to 300 herb when I come upon a 53 Undead Mage. I'm in my healing gear but I decide to gank. What follows is perhaps the most epic chase I ever had in my 2+ years of wow play.
Simply put he kited the hell out of me. Sheep run away, I'd catch up, sheep run away. I pulled out my pvp trinket and kept it up. He'd drink and eat and it would continue. We ran from one end of the zone to the other and after 20 minutes I had him to 10% mana and under 20% health. I threw my hammer and MISSED. He jumped off a cliff into the water and used his blink to gain the advantage. I almost got him down again but I lost him.
So embarrassing!
