Three Overlooked Keys of WoW PvP Success

WoW Player versus Player combat has to be one of the best and exciting parts of the WoW experience. The interaction with the other people on your side is fun, and once you start having success, well PvP can be more than a little addictive. But PvP can be bewildering when you first start. It’s confusing, and you die an awful lot. And even if you are a veteran of PvP combat, it’s not hard to forget some of the basics. I’ve been there. Particularly once you’re having success, you can easily get caught up in the moment and forget the fundamentals that got you where you are now in the first place.

So let’s talk about 3 basic tactics you need to apply whether you’re new to this whole PvP thing, or are already making a name for yourself at a high level in WotLK.

First, you have to be able to heal yourself. You may be brutally efficient at taking out the enemy quickly, and you may have healers assigned to keep you and your brethren alive, but when it comes to the crunch, you need to be able to treat the worst of your wounds some potions and bandages for emergency treatment of yourself. Do you really want your character to die because your healer was helping someone else, or ran low on mana, or got called away by his mommy when you needed him most?

Second, learn about macros. Learn how to make them, then make them for all your key actions, and use them. When your foes are all around you, and you’re life is on the line, getting off that spell or using that special ability fast is essential. Once you create and become skilled with macros for your special abilities and important spells, you’ll have a massive advantage over people who don’t use them.

Third, remember that you need to defend as well as attack. This is where getting caught up in the moment really causes problems. What use is it if you capture a base or take a flag, only to lose it again because no one stayed around to defend it? The blood lust driving you to hunt down and slaughter one more foe can be almost irresistible, but sometimes the right thing you can do for your self and your side is to defend what you have instead of going on the attack.

Master these three things, and keep them in mind when the blood lust is upon you, and you’ll be far more successful in PvP. Still, freely-available information like this, and even your own skill will only take you so far. To really rule in PvP combat, you’re gonna need help.

To advance to the highest levels of PvP, you need to learn from the experience of the very best PvP gamers. You can either try to find a mentor in the game who will teach you, or you can be smart and invest in a quality PvP Guide. The best PvP guides include much more than basic information like in this article. They are filled with specific, detailed information and guidance for each type of character. And the source of that information is the very best PvP players. The top PvP guides will gather and organize that information for you, along with providing updates whenever a new patch like WotLK comes out.

If you want to dominate WoW PvP, you need to invest in the best guide. Go to http://PvP-Bible.info to learn more.

The WotLK Death Knight Class

February 8th, 2009 by admin | No Comments | Filed in Playstation 2 Games, Playstation 3 Games, Playstation Games

The Death Knight in the Wrath of the Lich King (WotLK - the latest World of Warcraft Expansion pack) plays the dual role of tanking and DPS. They perform these tasks as well if not better than the other classes. Blizzard has saturated this class with abilities that are both new and creative and therefore likely that players will enjoy.

The WotLK Death Knight charges in. As others beat at it, the Death Knight keeps the foe in its place soaking up damage while taking the first hit. Avoid playing the Death Knight class if you prefer ranged damage or healing your teammates.

PvP

You’re going to have to learn how to play PVP all over again with the Death Knight. You will be effective once you get the hang of it. You will get a feel for it by practicing dueling and playing the battlegrounds at which point you can proceed with joining an arena team.

Raiding

Death Knights shine at raiding. They can put out high damage and tank as good as any other class in World Of Warcraft.

Builds

WotLK Death Knight talents are split into 3 categories, each of which are fully capable of supporting either a tanking or dps role:

Blood: This tree primarily amplifies the Death Knight’s melee spells, weapons, and abilities, and has a prominent health-regeneration theme.

Frost: This tree has many control elements, with a strong critical strike/bonus damage theme, as well as several talents that improve physical damage mitigation.

Unholy: This tree has a heavy focus on diseases and related abilities, as well as improving summoned minions. Also has AoE, spell damage shielding, and mobility-improvement sub-themes.

Suggested Professions

As a plate mail wearer, the WotLK Death Knight would do well to choose Blacksmithing as a profession, with Mining as a complement.

You probably won't need a gathering profession since you need to have a level 55 character to unlock a Wrath of the Lich King Death Knight. If you have gold to burn on leveling your Death Knight’s profession, consider Blacksmithing and Enchanting to run around with effective gear while you level.

World of Warcraft Mastery will soon include a detailed Wotlk Death Knight guide as part of its package of Warcraft Guides.
