Secrets of Rogue PvP - Rogue Strategy Basics

As you’re probably aware, Rogues are the most feared of all PvP classes. That’s because they can take down most any foe, leaving them staggering around like a fool and unable to defend themselves, regardless of that foe’s class. Still, no class is invulnerable, and understanding your Rogue’s many strengths and few weaknesses will surely make you even more annoying to your player versus player foes. Let’s look at your Rogue’s strengths first.

Rogue PvP Strengths

I’ll say it right out. Rogues are perhaps the most effective and most feared of all PvP classes. Choosing your greatest strength is hard because you have so many of them. If you can learn to execute them properly, your Stunlocks are brutal. Built around a combination of attacks, a well-executed stunlock will leave your opponent helpless, literally standing there in a daze while you slaughter them. Get this right, come up with a good Rogue PvP build, and you’ll be very hard to beat.

Many would say that your poisoning skills are your greatest strength. Most enemies flee Rogues, and your Crippling Poison makes it much harder for them to get away, while your Mind Numbing Poison slows their ability to cast spells against you. When you put these together with all your Rogue’s other strengths and abilities and it is easy to see why everyone hates you.

Rogue PvP Weaknesses

One big weakness of being a Rogue in large battles is that other players don’t like you very much. Most players have been terminated while left helpless by stunlocks and poison. They will be happy to take you down. This puts a big bullseye on your back, as your opponents will jump at any chance to kill you.

Your biggest weakness (aside from the fact that every opponent wants you dead) is that executing stunlocks properly is complicated. If you get distracted by some Hunter’s pet, or the Shaman you’re after gets their Earthshield up in time, and you could be in trouble. Beyond that, remember that you have only melee attacks, so if a ranged fighter manages to keep you at a distance, they can tear you up with impunity.

These are just the basics of Rogue strategy, strengths, and weaknesses in PvP. Most decent players can do well in PvP with just basic Rogue strategy. But to really dominate you need more than that. You’ll need to have an excellent Rogue PvP build, and a great Rogue strategy. A Rogue PvP guide will give you far more information on every aspect of playing a Rogue, including specific advice on talent builds, gear selection, and taking out any class of opponent.

Learning the strengths and weaknesses of your Rogue is one great way to improve your performance in PvP combat. To learn more about this and other PvP techniques in a guide that has helped others generate a 2214 Arena Rating in weeks, just Click Here.

Secrets of Druid PvP

August 31st, 2009 by admin | No Comments | Filed in Playstation 2 Games, Playstation 3 Games, Playstation Games

Knowing the PvP combat strengths and weaknesses of your Druid is the most fundamental secret of success in World of Warcraft Player versus Player combat. It’s the foundation on which to build all the sophisticated strategies and tricky tactics that you’ve heard about or maybe even had applied against you. No matter how much fancy stuff you know, you’ll only have limited success if you don’t get the basics right. Here’s a quick look at your Druid’s basic PvP strengths and weaknesses.

Druid PvP Strengths

I can tell you from personal experience that Druids can be very hard to take down. Their ability to change forms in mid-battle allows them to break out of most crowd control effects. And their healing and melee fighting abilities stand them in good stead when the action gets up close and personal. With such versatility, your Druid can handle virtually any situation that arises in PvP.

Druid PvP Weaknesses

Unfortunately, this versatility can also be your character’s undoing. You’ll need to adjust your strategy and tactics for each class of opponent you encounter. This requires quick thinking and a good memory for tactics. Your character will never be as good of a healer as a Priest, or as good a melee fighter as a Warrior, so tactics that work well against one will fail against the other. More than most classes, a Druid really needs to adapt the way they fight to account for the specific opponent they’re fighting at the moment.

So that’s a real quick rundown of the basic PvP Strengths and Weaknesses of your Druid. While this information is necessary to succeed, it isn’t sufficient. Unfortunately, there’s much more to learn if you really want to dominate other players with your Druid. The fastest and most sensible way to learn what you need to know is to get yourself a professional PvP guide. Such a guide will tell you what you need to know and save you the time and effort you would need to figure all this out on your own.

Secrets of Warlock PvP

August 18th, 2009 by admin | No Comments | Filed in Playstation 2 Games, Playstation 3 Games, Playstation Games

Understanding the strengths and weaknesses of your Warlock is the most basic secret of success in Warcraft PvP combat. That’s not to say this is all you need to know. There’s so much more than that if you really want to rise to the top of the heap. But if you don’t really understand your own character’s basic Player versus Player strengths and weaknesses, nothing else will matter much. So let’s look at the PvP strengths and weaknesses of a Warlock.

Warlock PvP Strengths

I can tell you from personal experience that Warlocks can be formidable opponents in PvP combat. Your Warlock’s greatest strengths are your DoT (Damage over Time) spells, and your ability to Fear your enemies. In plain English, your character’s strength is the way they can cast spells that do damage over time on an opponent, then cause the victim to run around out of control as they die.

A second major strength of your Warlock is the Felhunter. Target this pet at an enemy caster and you’ll make his life miserable.

Warlock PvP Weaknesses

Fortunately for your opponents, your Warlock does have some weaknesses in PvP . Mages (and others) can break your Fear spells and counter your Damage over Time attacks. When going up against these annoying vermin, you’ll want to deploy your Felhunter. But you’ll also need some direct damage types of spells. You’re also going to need more mana against these, so a spell like Life Tap will be crucial to keep your from running out. Running out of mana in Player versus Player combat is a fatal mistake.

That covers the basic PvP Strengths and Weaknesses of your Warlock. This is a great foundation, but you’re going to need to learn a lot more if you really want to rule PvP. You can eventually gain the information you need yourself, but a quality PvP guide can give you far more information, including specific instructions for dealing with each player class that can counter your primary attacks.

WoW PvP Secrets - Macros

August 13th, 2009 by admin | No Comments | Filed in Playstation 2 Games, Playstation 3 Games, Playstation Games

If you’ve ever been involved in martial arts, fencing, or any other organized hand-to-hand combat system, you know there’s far more to success than simply flailing away at your opponent. Speed and precision are at least as important as size and strength. The same is true in WoW PvP combat. When opponents are well matched, every second counts, and any mistake can have dire consequences. And admit it, scrolling and clicking with a mouse may be easy, but it isn’t particularly fast or precise. To really do well in World of Warcraft Player versus Player combat, you need something better. You need to start using macros.

So what is a macro? In WoW, a macro is a set of commands that correspond to commands you could give with the mouse and keyboard. A command in a macro might look like this:

/cast Faerie Fire

As you probably guessed, this command tells your character to cast the Faerie Fire spell. It has the same effect as clicking on the Faerie Fire icon in your character’s Spellbook or on an Action Bar. Each macro consists of one or more commands that are grouped together and attached to a button on one of the Action Bars. When you click the icon for the macro, the macro runs, and executes all the commands.

Within limits, macros can do anything for you that you could do with the keyboard or mouse. And they can do it with a single click or hotkey. This ability to execute a long string of commands quickly and precisely when you click a single button is what makes macros so important for PvP combat.

If you haven’t experienced it for yourself, you don’t really know how intense PvP combat can get. If you’re a fraction too slow with the mouse, or accidentally click the wrong button, you’re probably dead before you know what happened to you. The ability to execute a full attack sequence, or perform some other complex set of actions with a single mouse click can make all the difference in a tough battle.

Learning how to create and use macros is one great way to improve your performance in PvP combat. Click Here to get more information about using macros in WoW PvP.

3 Fundamental PvP Concepts

March 29th, 2009 by admin | No Comments | Filed in Playstation 2 Games, Playstation 3 Games, Playstation Games

When you are starting out in WoW Player versus Player (PvP) combat, you’ll encounter concepts you’re not familiar with, or that are are somewhat different when used in the context of PvP combat. Three such concepts are the local defense channel, the resurrection timer, and the diminishing returns of crowd control and movement impairing spells. Let’s talk about each of them in turn.

The Local Defense Channel

The local defense channel is a zone-wide message that goes out whenever an NPC in the zone is attacked. Normally, you don’t see these messages, but they’re easy to turn on and off. To see messages for this zone, type /join LocalDefense. To disable the messages, type /leave LocalDefense.

There’s also a world channel that tells you when any zone is attacked. To turn the world messages on and off, use /join WorldDefense and /leave WorldDefense.

The Resurrection Timer

When your character dies, the resurrection timer controls how long it will take before the character resurrects. The first time you die in PvP, either against another player or fighting a PvP-flagged NPC, you can resurrect without a time penalty. For each death after that, you get a time penalty, increasing the length of time that the resurrection timer runs before your character can resurrect. The maximum possible delay before resurrection is 5 minutes.

Be aware that the delay doesn’t affect your character if they are resurrected by another player or you make use of special items like the Goblin Jumper Cables to resurrect more quickly.

The Diminishing Returns of Crowd Control & Movement Impairing Spells

Crowd control spells (Charm or Stun, for example) can be brutal in PvP. Fortunately, they have some additional limitations in PvP situations. If your character gets hit by one of these spells, then hit again with the same spell within 15 seconds of the previous spell wearing off, the length of time the second spell affects your character is reduced by 50%. If they get hit yet again, the duration of the third spell is reduced by 75%. Have your character get hit with the same spell one more time, and this fourth casting will have no effect. Under no circumstances will any of the crowd control spells last longer than 12 seconds, regardless of their normal duration. Movement impairing spells like Frost Nova and Entangling Roots are subject to the same limitations.

Learning Even More

This short article covered 3 new/changed concepts you need to understand to succeed in PvP. But if you want to dominate PvP combat, or even hold your own against more experienced players, there’s a lot more you should learn.

Do You Know About Honor Points and PvP Tokens?

March 25th, 2009 by admin | No Comments | Filed in Playstation 2 Games, Playstation 3 Games, Playstation Games

Honor Points and PvP Tokens are rewards your character earns from winning in PvP combat. When you accumulate enough of these, you can use them to buy better gear than you would be able to otherwise. You definitely want to accumulate Honor Points and PvP Tokens. This is how you do it:

Earning Honor Points

When you kill characters from the opposing faction, you will earn Honor Points. That is, you’ll earn them as long as the character you killed was no more than 8 levels lower than your character. Killing opponents who are more than 8 levels below you is considered poor sportsmanship, and doesn’t gain you honor. This means that if you want to gain honor for your kills you need to pick on characters your own level, or at least ones that are within shouting distance of your level.

Once you accumulate enough Honor Points you will be able to use them, along with Battleground Marks of Honor (earned, not surprisingly, for your actions in the battlegrounds), to buy stuff in the Champions’ Hall at Stormwind City or the Hall of Legends in Orgrimmar. Lots of interesting stuff is available, including consumables like potions, gems and trinkets, even superior or epic armor and weapons.

You can turn in one Mark of Honor from each battleground to gain extra honor as part of the Concerted Efforts quest (Alliance) or the For Great Honor quest (Horde). You can also repeat these quests to generate additional honor.

Getting PvP Tokens

You can earn PvP Tokens in the Outland (the Mark of Honor Hold or Halaa Battle Token for example) as a reward for killing opposing players. Tokens are a lot like the Marks of Honor you get when you fight in the battlegrounds, except that only PvP vendors in the region the token comes from will honor them. So if your character had Marks of Honor Hold, for example, Honor Hold PvP vendors would accept them but Halaa PvP Vendors would not. PvP Tokens are most valuable to you when you are below Level 70, since the gear you can buy with them doesn’t go up past this level.

Now you know about how Honor Points and PvP Tokens can help your character get better gear. And you have some good ideas about where to go to earn them. But if you want to dominate PvP combat, or even hold your own against more experienced players, there’s a lot more you should learn. To learn everything you need to know, including the most current strategies & tactics you can use to dominate all aspects of PvP, you need a killer PvP guide. Visit PvP-Bible.info

Types of PvP Combat

March 24th, 2009 by admin | No Comments | Filed in Playstation 2 Games, Playstation 3 Games, Playstation Games

When people start talking about PvP combat, it soon becomes clear that there are various settings where it can happen. This short guide to the settings will make it easier for you to find PvP combat when you want it, as well as understand what others mean when they talk about battlegrounds or World PvP or whatever. Keep reading for a super-fast introduction to each setting:

Fighting Duels

Duels are voluntary one-on-one battles between players. You don’t have to be on a PvP server to duel, but you can’t duel within cities. One of the best places to find someone to duel against is the entrance to any major city, which is where duelists often hang out looking for someone to challenge.

The Battlegrounds

Horde and Alliance go at it in the battlegrounds, competing to win battles and earn marks. Marks serve as a sort of money that you can trade for various items, including better PvP gear. You can only use marks at the special PvP vendor shops.

The Arenas

Arena combat is organized team versus team combat in the form of an ongoing tournament. Teams (2v2, 3v3, 5v5) battle against other teams of the opposing faction as well as against teams of their own faction. You become a member of a team to fight in the arena and earn Arena Points as a team.

Random PvP

Any time you encounter a player from the other faction who has their PvP flag on, you can do battle with them. In PvP realms, that flag is always set, except in a few protected areas, you’re always open to attack. You can manually turn your PvP flag on and off by typing /pvp, and various circumstances will turn it on automatically, even if you aren’t playing in a PvP realm.

World PvP Combat

Some zones have goals that involve PvP. To complete these you’ll need to be ready to fight. Zones with these kinds of goals include, the Eastern Plaguelands, Silithus, Hellfire Peninsula, Zangarmarsh, Terokkar Forest, and Nagrand.

PvP Zones

Wintergrasp is the first of a new type of zone that is totally dedicated to PvP combat. Expect more in the future.

What Next?

You should now have a basic understanding of the different settings where you can find PvP combat. But if you want to dominate PvP combat, or even hold your own against more experienced players, there’s a lot more you should learn.

Activating PvP Mode

March 18th, 2009 by admin | No Comments | Filed in Playstation 2 Games, Playstation 3 Games, Playstation Games

Has your character ever found himself or herself being slaughtered by hostile player characters when you didn’t even know your character was in PvP mode? Or maybe you were luckier and happened to glance at your character portrait and notice your PvP flag was set for no reason that you knew of? Knowing how you get into PvP mode can spell the difference between life and death for your character. Let’s get right to it and see how you can end up in PvP mode.

The ways you can get into PvP mode depend on the kind of server you’re playing on. If your server is a Normal (sometimes called “truce”) realm, the rules are different than if you’re playing in a PvP realm which makes a certain amount of sense if you think about it. Let’s start with a Normal realm.

Your character will end up in PvP mode in a Normal realm if:

  • You attack a player character (PC) of the opposite faction who is in PvP mode themself.
  • You help (by using a beneficial spell or ability on them) a PC from your faction who happens to be in PvP mode.
  • You attack an NPC guard or civilian from the opposing faction.
  • You bravely enter an enemy capital city.
  • You enter any one of the battlegrounds.
  • You enter one of the free-for-all PvP areas (Gurubashi Arena, for example) where you can attack anyone, even if they’re from your own faction.
  • You put your character into PvP mode intentionally by typing /pvp. Even if you immediately type /pvp again to exit PvP mode, your character will remain in PvP mode for five minutes (see the following explanation).

How ever your character got into PvP mode, they will stay there until five minutes after their last action that could put them into PvP mode. So if your character went into Gurubashi Arena, the PvP flag would remain on the entire time your character is in there, until 5 minutes after they left the arena (unless they did something else to trigger PvP mode).

In a PvP Realm

If your character is in a PvP realm, all the conditions we just talked about apply. Beyond that, there are two more conditions that will raise your character’s PvP flag:

  • Entering a Contested zone.
  • Entering an Enemy zone.

Basically in a PvP realm, going anywhere other than Friendly territory or a Sanctuary zone will put your character into PvP mode. After all, this is a PvP realm we’re talking about. So think back to when you discovered that your character was in PvP mode. With a little effort, you can probably figure out which of the conditions you accidentally triggered to set the flag. If nothing else, you’ll at least know what to watch out for next time. Now all you need to know is how to best defend yourself in PvP mode, whether you get there accidentally or on purpose.

Eventually your character will end up in PvP mode, so learning how to fight well when you’re there only makes sense. To learn everything you need to know, including the newest strategies & tactics that will show you how to dominate all aspects of PvP, visit PvP-Bible.info
