[PVP](Mainly Warrior) Tips: Arena&BG

[ilimocromafia]

So because I was bored at my parents house, I thought a little guide could help some peeps.

This guide is written by me, a sucky warrior who haz teh vengefull glad mount and a 2,1k rating in 2v2 and 3v3 with playing 3 hours a week of pvp. (PM for armory link, since me iz 'fraid of blizz)
Common sense people, common sense.

Lately, the warrior class is underestimated and whined about a lot. We become first targets in most arena matches and die quite fast with just PvE gear/bad PvP gear. Most warriors won't see the arena 2k+ bracket. Most warriors are getting WTFPWNED by rogues(I mean WTF). Guys, It's time to show our true power...

{1.0}Grinding to your PvP gear:(This is for all classes)

Most people know that PvP grinding can take quite some time, and find it quite boring...but

DONT WORRY ABOUT THAT!!!

1. Do your weekly VoA runs for free epix.
Try making these groups yourselves. Be greedy. Try forming groups where you're the only ARMS/FURY Warrior (Quite Easy). Most of the time after the first Wgrasp match, after the rolling restarts, where you won, people will be spamming: "LFG VOA 10/25man.".(Now just use your common sense...)
2. Wintergrasp is your key to WIN.
Wintergrasp gives easy honor (and gold xD). Whether its just leeching, or actually ganking peeps in the lag for the extra 5-40 honor points per person. A wintergrasp match doesnt take longer than 15 min nowadays and will easily get you 3-8k honor. Complete the daily quests involved and this can get up to 10k honor. The marks can easily be used for the PvP items.

3. Play each Battleground every day.

Go and do the calculations:
(This is based on the honor i'm getting for every BG. But it shouldnt be that much different)

1x win eots: 3-5k honor + 3 marks = 20 min
1x win ab: 4-6k honor + 3 marks = 25 min
1x win wsg: 4k-5k honor + 3 marks = 15 min
1x win sota: 3-4k honor + 3 marks = 15 min

So basicly you're getting a minimum of 14k honor in an hour and 5 minutes play time. 

The daily gives 1,2k honor.

And don't forget about the repeatable quest: 930 honor x 3 = 2790 honor.

So this gives a total of a minimum of 18k honor points in about an hour.(It all depends on your battlegroup).

Getting the PvP gear within a week shouldnt be a problem even with limited playtime.

(I'm PvPing as fury currently because arms isn't just as attractive as it used to be. However i'll be covering that subject too.)

{2.0} Your first BIG steps into the serious arena bussiness:

After getting a mate(Or random peep) to join ya, you should be going over to basic tacts.


{2.1} Healer+Warrior compostions
{2.2} Warrior+Warrior compostions
{2.3} Random DPS + Warrior compositions

{Healer+Warrior composition:}
With a healer by your side (Preferably an holy paladin or disc priest cause of their high survivability) almost every team you're encountering will be focussing on getting healer down. If you're encountering a healer+random dps team there are 2 basic tacts:

1. The fast nuke tactic:
As this may sound kinda pathetic it, actually works, run straight to the other teams healer and burn down all your CDs to gank him down ASAP.

Example wich I'm using: Start using Bloodrage, Deathwish, any trinket that boosts your dps and Charge to the healer. Hamstring him, switch to zerker and pop Recklessness.Use Berserker rage for your extra rage and start the blows off with Bloodthirst and WW with heroic strike waiting for the next strike. This will catch some healers offguard and will easily bring them down to 40% or even less. This will all happen in something like 5 seconds. Be prepared to pummel the heal and try getting the healer down. Don t forget, intimidating shout is your best friend... As soon as the healer is down it's win. Intervene to your healer and WTFPWNZOR the remaining guy if he didnt quit already.(I know this wall crits hard, deal with it for a while)

====Guess I'm going home for now, will be updating this guide frequently.====
====Btw, me doesn't want +Rep, Its too OP, I'm just contributing in the hope to see the noobish warriors fade====

//You're right smahs, guess its a bit too colorful//

Nice to see someone trying to earn reputation.. It's well written, but the color and text is a bit harsh on the eyes.. One major thing that can make a guide different is the looks, Dark blue on Grey = hard to see

The colors I use are on the top half of this color wheel:

Pretty much everything on the buttom half well be hard to see, but that is just my IMO but I think many others would agree..

dude you get 4k honor in a wsg? in 15min? teach me, cause i only got 1.5k on the WSG weekend and i'm not afking

[Pydracor]

Its a Bg honor Caltulation, thats okay...but the tactic is crappy.
When ure facing a Paladin as a Healer, he also gots Bubble and u wasted your cd´s for nothing.
Facing a Priest, he got, shild up(u get no rage for it) , 2-3 Instants heal, hf @ Pummel .
Facing a shammy ends up in hitting a wall with earthshild+instant heals.
Druid is atm easy to fokus, but i think with barskin, grip of nature+his mate he will easyliy survive the hits.

Post your amory link...oh, wait, u can post a random amory... so, never mind, tactic crappy, not even to think about it in highrated matches.

As a healer I prefer going with a warrior or DK buddy (this is also a tip)
you get more honor per for more healing contributed aswell (like dmg)

Also an exploit here actually, which I tried in AV... Jump down from high place - heal yourself and repeat, last time I did that my honor went up

Good tip m8

[MuppetShow]

This is not a guide.
This is; "Get pvp gear and do wintergrasp for loads of honor. Then you use your abilities in a sucky order and you will get 2.3k rating."

[Cryde]

MuppetShow is right. Not really a guide.. maybe with some edit it's going to be better.

Better way to burst (as fury): Bloodrage -> Death wish and damage trinket -> charge -> zerker stance asap before white attacks so you get rage in zerker stance -> hamstring -> recklessness -> Heroic strike -> Bloodthirst -> WW.

This makes it so you'll actually have the rage to do it, not stand there auto attacking for a few seconds. Heroic strike also takes off 1 charge of recklessness, bloodthirst takes another, and WW takes the last one, but main and offhand crit. And if you have glyph of heroic strike, you get 10 rage back from that critting, incase you run out of rage and they start healing/disengage or whatnot after the burst. This way you can intercept/intervene/pummel right away..

Not building an entire guide for PvP, with the new arena system anybody can get 2k + with a decent comp... 2007 as resto dru/warr atm, which is hardly viable anymore.. was 2350 pally/warrior before I got sick of 4 point wins.

edit: also http://www.mmowned.com/forums/wow-gu...ml#post1350552 if anybody needs help with a PvE DPS guide. I didn't write it, but I added a little near the bottom.
