Help surviving Arms warriors in PvP

[itakeflagkk]

I have been playing a disc priest recently in 2s and 3s (friends account)
Im going to explain a few simple tips for surviving arms warriors in pvp

1. Start with all buffs for obvious reason
2. Arms warriors gain Taste for Blood - Spell - World of Warcraft from there Rend - Spell - World of Warcraft . Now here is 2 tips for this (i) try and time your PW:shield or other absorb to absorb the rend tick if possible as this will cause rend not to proc taste for blood (ii) Do not cast when they have taste for blood buff up (try to use instants PW:shield renew ect.) as them overpowering your casts causes Unrelenting Assault - Spell - World of Warcraft This stacks with MS and causes you to only do 25% healing
3. When a warrior starts moving away from you (and not towards your partner) they are most likely backing off for a charge. move with them to prevent a slight amount of damage (longer to get in charge range) and do not cast Penance - Spell - World of Warcraft or other channels with CDs as it will interrupt it wasting the cooldown
4. When a warrior switchs to Shield and Sword or goes into zerker stance (animation of a angry dwarf above his head) he can interrupt your casts with Shield Bash - Spell - World of Warcraft or Pummel - Spell - World of Warcraft so try not to cast infront of him

5. Very Good warrior will wait for the next rend to be just about to tick when they use overpower negating 2. But most will not



Thank you for your time any mistakes ect. please dont hesitate to tell me

Since im playing both a warrior and a priest at 2.2k+ rating in 3s, i know the drill. If the warrior has Taste for Blood it means he will probably use it to gain Unrelenting Assault, just as you said. Anyhow most warriors will use em as soon as you start casting penance or whatever you want to cast. This means you can most of the times fakecast it, the warrior will then use Overpower and you are free to cast until next TfB procc.
- A tip is to get powerauras, it's an addon, you can configure it to show an icon when the targeted player or your focus target have this procc. This makes you more aware of when the procc is up and you don't need to spend time on looking at the warriors buffs.
- As I said, Fakecast when the procc is up

I hope you pwn some warriors now :>

Yes fakecasting a Flash Heal can be used to bait an overpower but if there back to back overpowering with TFB then its not worth the fakecast for the 4 seconds you must fake .... Disc > Warrior in duels anyway but that guide i posted is mainly for surviving against like Ench/Arms in 3s as it is very hard for class such as priest to survive them Thanks for the reply ... dont really like addons but that sounds really sweet

And btw, The 1h+shield aint required to use pummel, its only usable while in Zerkstance, but however Shield bash requires shield, and also works in battle stance.
You dont always have to watch the zerk stance switch, watch for shieldswaps aswell.
Most warriors usually uses shield bash after a spell reflect.
