[Warrior] Arena guide for beginners.

[eloivanelst]

Warrior arena guide:



New to Arena?
If you're new to Arena matches I suggest you start of with some 2v2 to build up some experience and skills. If you think you are able to handle the good stuff you should try 3v3 and end with some 5v5. This guide should be extremely usefull to players who haven't (ever) played a arena match before.



Talents:
Your talents are very important. The most used arena warrior spec is Arms. Here's a quite good talent build to get you started with:
Talent Calculator - World of Warcraft



Addons:


Gladius: adds enemy unit frames to arenas for easier targeting and focusing. It is highly configurable and you can disable most features of this addon.
Gladius - Addons - Curse





Macros:
How to make macros:

- Type /macro;
- Click on New at the bottom;
- Name your macro;
- Select a icon;
- Select Okay;
- Now open up the macro you just made and fill in the macro 'code'.



!Important!

Hold [Ctrl] + [H] and search for: Slayer of the Lifeless - Replace it with your one-handed weapon.

Lol @ Glyph of enraged regeneration, gogo glyph of rending

[Duparumuna]

Very good guide, i tell my friends

[Nikentic]

hahaha Glyph of Enraged Regeneration - Spell - World of Warcraft!
This man doesn't know anything about arena xD He wasn't even got relentless weapon, he haven't specced in Sudden Death in his Talent Calc, Great Job...
People, only thing that is good here (maybe) is the macros. Even some of the macros fail

[Trollblod]

Thanks for the guide, but as mentioned above, it's pretty useless try to spend more time on it mate.

Glyph got replaced. It indeed does suck.. And btw m8, I placed some random weapons in the macros. I didn't use my own..

[Nikentic]

Rather use Bladestorm or Hamstring glyph

[BlodyWarior]

wars in arena are only like "LOOK MOMMY NO HANDS" with their bladestorm

[Bananafresh]

Skipped sudden death but took glyph of execute? and you left out shamans as a possible partner, lols

[mazing]

as a 2500+ warrior,

This guide is pretty fail even for beginners. Good try though. Well no nvm looks like a quick rep farm to me, these macros are from arenajunkies aswell.

Glyph of sweeping strikes > - Glyph of Rend
and Glyph of execution isn't used much either

as for partners, you werent even specific if it was for 2s 3s or 5s
and Priest healing any war in 2s is fail, in 3s its also fail unless your running double healer.

in other words poster failed bad

[Nikentic]

True story mazing. Tho priest healing can work, done 1900 with it.

[Swordcaller]

rofl this is the worst warrior guide ive ever seen xD

[buddhistgrandma]

Sudden death is CRITICAL to the spec. It's like having a resto shaman, but skipping Earth Shield.

OP fails.
