What this guide is:

I hope this guide serves several functions:

A quick and easy guide to use macro's to maximize your PvP experience for every class
How to maximize honor
Useful addons/mods that will help improve your PvP experience

What this guide is NOT:

This guide will not show you exploits on how to play your class
This guide will not be a quick fix to your PvP style. It will involve practice and somewhat of a mastery of your class

Table of Contents:

i. Macro's
ii. Maximizing Honor
iii. Helpful Addons
iv. Final Thoughts

i. Macro's:

What is a macro? Here's a brief explanation, a macro is a way to shorten a command (in game). To learn more go to http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&sourc...fo0Uho4m1Bktcw

The following macro's were obtained from - Macros - Arena Junkies (Arena Junkies). What I've done is take out the useless macro's and I've only included the important ones.

Macro's are extremely important in every encounter of PvP. It is essential that you learn how to implement and make these macro's your own!

Death Knight Macro's

Mark of Blood Mouseover + Shift Focus

This MoB's focus while shift is pressed, mouseover if nomod and your mouseover is not dead and is an enemy, and your current target otherwise.

Code:

#showtooltip
/use [mod:shift,target=focus,exists,nodead,harm] Mark of Blood;[target=mouseover,exists,nodead,harm] Mark of Blood; Mark of Blood

Lichborne Self Heal

If you have Lichborne, this macro will first cast Lichborne then cast death coil on yourself to heal you with one button ( you control how you use death coil by just clicking this macro as many times as you need with lichborne up ). You will not deselect your current target. Glyph of Death's Embrace works great with this (Glyph of Death's Embrace - Use: Your Death Coil refunds 20 runic power when used to heal).

Code:

#showtooltip Lichborne
/cast !Lichborne;
/cast [target=player] Death Coil

Vampiric Blood/Rune Tap Heal

If you have rune tap / vampiric blood, this macro will cast vampiric blood and use a rune to heal. You only need to hit this macro once ( note that this costs 2 blood runes, so make sure you have them available or else you will have to hit this macro again ). You can continue to hit this macro everytime the rune tap cooldown is up, making key binding easier for yourself.

Code:

#showtooltip Vampiric Blood
/cast !Vampiric Blood;
/cast Rune Tap

Universal Rune Strike Macro

This is the universal rune strike macro, rune strike is an amazing ability that is totally worth the RP. This macro will bind your current instant attack that you benefit most from your spec, as well as setting up a rune strike attack when its possible ( after you dodge / parry ).

Code:

#showtooltip ( instant damage attack )
/script UIErrorsFrame:UnregisterEvent("UI_ERROR_MESSAGE");
/cast ( instant damage attack );
/cast !Rune Strike;
/script UIErrorsFrame:RegisterEvent("UI_ERROR_MESSAGE");

Hysteria + Racial + Trinket

Hysteria can be cast on another player or myself, this will take care of that as well as adding any other usable buffs. This will first check if you are currently targeting a friendly target, if you are then it will cast hysteria on that player, if you are not then it will move to the next line. The second part is made so if you are targeting an enemy player or nothing at all it will cast hysteria on yourself. The last part is the addition of racials / trinkets, this macro will only cast both of them if you are targeting an enemy player, if you are targeting nothing and/or a friendly player then you will not use them.

Code:

/cast [noharm, exists] Hysteria;
/cast [target=player] Hysteria;
/cast [harm,exists] Blood Fury; ( racial )
/use [harm,exists] 14 ( 13 or 14, depending on where your trinket is )

/cast Enraged Regeneration

One Key Battle Stance/Charge/Overpower

Goes Battle if not already, Charges if out of combat, and tries to Overpower when in combat. Replaces 3 buttons perfectly... It's a rare double-ability macro in that it cannot "screw up" what you intended to do, as the range and combat state differences are both mutually exclusive circumstances and both strictly require Battle Stance. Also acts as regular Battle Stance key with 1 push.

Code:

#showtooltip
/cast [nostance:1] Battle Stance; [nocombat] Charge; Overpower

Spell Reflection

Switches to Shield+1h, shifts you to correct stance and casts Spell Reflection. Must fill the names of your OWN equipment.

ii. Maximizing Honor

This is always a touchy subject to talk about with people. Reason why I say that, is because some people argue that battle grounding is the FASTEST way no matter what. While others say heroics are the fastest method to gain honor. Bottom line is:

They are both efficient ways to maximize your honor!!!

Here is the order of importance I follow when "grinding" honor:

Wintergrasp. First and for most. This is the quickest way to get honor. The weekly's give you a TON of honor and shards. Also, the honor gained in one Wintergrasp isn't too bad
Heroics (If your toon has a tank/healing set). This is a very fast way to grind honor. If your toon has a tank/healing set, you will get in random queues very fast. BUT, you have to quest when you have Wintergrasp.
Battlegrounds. Self-explanatory. Honor gained throughout the BG and marks are created at the end. Which can be turned into honor.

How to make money from Stone Keeper's Shards? Well it's simple - you turn the shards in Wintergrasp to receive: http://www.wowwiki.com/Wintergrasp_Commendation . These babies can be traded across your account! So...run heroics and get shards. As a tank you can get 20-25 shards a run (if you own Wintergrasp!)

iii. Helpful Addons

Here are the two top addons that have improved my PvPing the most. These two are strictly PvP addons!

Number 1. http://wow.curse.com/downloads/wow-a...s/gladius.aspx

Gladius is one of those addons that are NEEDED when PvPing. To pull up the interface/config all you need to type is:

Code:

/gladius ui

The setup is quite simple but the addon is quite complex and can be used for very advanced users.

Gladius is a window pretty much exactly like Proximo for those who have used that. It starts off empty at the beginning of an arena match and when the gates open it detects who your opponents are and lists them in the window, showing an icon for their class, and the amount of health/mana they have.
This is extremely useful for a few reasons. You can make your strategy and coordinate your CC target and main target right away, you can tell what spec some classes are by the amount of mana they have, and if for some reason you lose your target (hunter Feign Deaths, or mage Mirror Images) you can click on their name in the window and it will target them again instead of you trying to click their character.
Note: Rogues and Druids (sometimes Mages) will start off stealthed/invis so gladius won’t pick them up until they come out, a good way to tell who someones partner is in a 2v2 arena or 3v3 is by their buffs. If you see a Mage and a (blank) but you notice the mage has Mark of the Wild buff on, it is pretty safe to say his partner is a druid.

Number 2. http://wow.curse.com/downloads/wow-a...ls/parrot.aspx

Parrot that is a great addon that is also needed when PvPing. It's pretty much the SCT of the PvP world. Did I mention it's highly customizable? It's a wonderful tool for knowing when a debuff (ice block, pally bubble, etc.) is up on a target.

I would have to say out of any add-on I’ve used, this has increased my PvP skill and level of play the most.
Parrot is a floating combat text add-on that is highly customizable to show you pretty much any event that occurs between you, your target and your focus target. You set what abilities or conditions you want it to recognize as the trigger, set what you want it to do when that condition happens (play a sound, show text in a certain color, in a specific area on your monitor)
So for example, say you want to know the second a paladin bubbles, you just set the trigger as Abilitiy Divine Shield, make it display the text “Paladin is IMMUNE don’t attack!” and play a sound at the same time (from a list of 10 different sounds built in). Then you can make a separate trigger for when the Divine Shield fades! “Paladin is vulnerable attack!” Here are a list of some abilities and conditions I’ve set parrot to notice: - Rogue Shadowstep, Mage Ice Block, Hunter Feign Death, Deterrance,
-Target Counterspelled/kicked
- Ice Barrier Fades (Set it to know when your essential buffs or abilities wear off)
- Water Elemental Pet, Evocation available (Set it to notify you when the cooldown is finished on important abilities so you can use it as soon as possible)
And so on, if there is enough interest I will make my parrot config available here for download since it takes a while to get every ability set up the way you want it to. When you get it set up properly this gives you a huge advantage to use your clutch abilities as soon as they become available and instantly react to any game turning abilitites your opponents use and instantly know when they become vulnerable again.

iv. Final Thoughts

Pvp is extremely fun. It can be a rewarding experience. But, the time it takes to master this practice can take a long time. If you have never PvP'ed in a serious matter, I hope this guide has "pushed" you in the right direction.

The macro's and addons are a real huge step in the right direction. They will improve your PvP a lot within the first few days of using them.

If anyone has any questions/comments/concerns with my guide. Please let me know.

I hope you all enjoyed this guide!

keep it up !

**Parog** · 02-25-2010

Oh, the joys of being able to wipe a thread clean. =)

Let me make one thing straight;

WE ARE NOT ANY OTHER WEBSITE THAN MMOWNED.COM

That being said; copy pasting, even without giving credit is allowed. Heck, you don't even have to modify any of the content, as long as it doesn't state any other website in it, it's all good. How do you think smaller communities started? By leeching off of big ones. WE have all the new exploit, WE have some of the best memory editors / programmers for WoW hacks out there, WE have one of the biggest emulation community out there.

So for ****'s sake, stop crying when someone finally stops stealing from us, puts some of their own content on, and we steal a little back from them. Infractions have been given and any copy/paste comment or "lame attempt at rep" kind of comment will be given infractions and be deleted.

WE ARE NOT ANY OTHER WEBSITE THAN MMOWNED.COM

That being said; copy pasting, even without giving credit is allowed. Heck, you don't even have to modify any of the content, as long as it doesn't state any other website in it, it's all good. How do you think smaller communities started? By leeching off of big ones. WE have all the new exploit, WE have some of the best memory editors / programmers for WoW hacks out there, WE have one of the biggest emulation community out there.

So for ****'s sake, stop crying when someone finally stops stealing from us, puts some of their own content on, and we steal a little back from them. Infractions have been given and any copy/paste comment or "lame attempt at rep" kind of comment will be given infractions and be deleted.

I just quoted a Parog. With that being said, agree.
Also, how did Mmowned really started out? That's correct, Matt copied one of KuRIoS guides written on another place.

Thank you for cleaning up the thread. I took the time to organize and throw together all this information into ONE post here at MMOwned. I also put together a few more things throughout the guide.

I appreciate the acknowledgments.

I plan on adding talent specs in the near future.

He didn't post this for the community I felt he posted this to get rep from the community. A lot of these macros are very old, and no longer work. The OP over looked this, which imo is disappointing. That's why people where crying. If this was actually useful to the community, they wouldn't be "whining" they would give him rep, yes? There are plenty of useful copy and pasted guides that the community thanked the poster for, there's a reason why they didn't thank the poster of this thread. You can clean up the thread, but the opinions of the posters that previously posted on this thread still stand.

I felt that he could of actually made a guide out of this with the same general idea. He could of told us how to make macros, instead of just copy and pasting us macros.. He could tell us how to make a focus macro, cast sequence macros.. etc. but he just copy and pasted and tried to make it look like he put a lot of effort into his guide when he didn't.

Just my opinion, you can clean it up if you like - but my opinion still stands.

Thanks for the post.

I posted this to share with the community. Which I feel like I am doing. Version 2.0 of the guide will be done soon!

Stay updated.
