May 27, 2011 in Cataclysm, PvP, Tutorials

Here’s some new info about the phases in the new 2011 World of Warcraft Arena Pass.

 

The 2011 World of Warcraft Arena Pass is split into several different phases. To help you gain a more detailed understanding of how this year’s Arena Pass will unfold, here’s an explanation of the different phases.

Registration Phase

May 3 – June 20

During this period you can register for the North American 2011 Arena Pass Service. Registration will close after June 20.

Practice Phase

May 10 – June 7

During this period you will be able to enter the Arena Pass Realm and practice your setup. This is the period where you’re encouraged to explore different team compositions and to hone your teamwork. Matches played during this phase will not count towards the pet and title prizes.

Ranked Ladder Phase 1

June 7 – June 21

All Arena Rating points will be set to zero when this phase begins. Ranked 3v3 matches played during this phase will count towards the pet and title prizes. If a player switches from one Arena Team to another, the Arena Team that the player joins will have their Arena Rating reduced by 150 points.

Ranked Ladder Phase 2

June 21 – July 4

Ranked 3v3 matches played during this phase will count towards the pet and title prizes. During the Ranked Ladder Phase 2 of the Arena Pass Service, players cannot switch Arena Teams.

Prize Eligibility

Ranked 3v3 matches that count toward the pet and title prizes will start on June 7, 2011 (once the weekly maintenance has ended), and end July 4, 2011.

Please note that phases begin once weekly maintenance has finished on the dates specified, and end at the beginning of maintenance on the dates specified (unless stated otherwise).

Top 3 Tips for Rogue PVP

September 3, 2009 in PvP

There’s a brand new WoW site coming up that has some good PvP stuff with more coming, WorldOfWarcraftChamber.com (That site is now dead.). The Author of the site has kindly agreed to write the following article.

1 -  Know how to re-stealth
If you can’t re-stealth in combat, you are drastically reducing your survivability. The main techniques for acheiving this are to
  1. blind and wait to leave combat
  2. gouge/kidney shot your oppenent and run out
  3. get your oppenent crippled and sprint away
  4. vanish
2 – Don’t blow all your energy
If you sit on a person and spam mutilate, you won’t have enough energy for legitamite burst.
- for example, get 5 combo points, wait for full energy, then KS (Kidney Shot) and you will be able to, assuming you are Assassination, mutiliate twice then eviserate.
It’s more efficient burst than if you were to KS with 25 energy and maybe get 1 mutilate and some auto attacks in.

3 – Know the different playstyles and adapt
You don’t try and beat a warrior the same way you beat a priest do you? There are unique ways of handling each class. Generally though, the two main styles a rogue can play are burst and control.
  • Burst: When you do a lot of damage in a short period of time. This usually involves getting back into stealth again multiple times to get max damage possible.
  • Control: When you use all CC (Crowd Control) methods available to control an opponent and take them out of the game, so to speak. This means you have to always leave enough energy to gouge and be ready to kick the right school magic. Also blinding into a sap can be a game breaker when speaking in terms of arena.
  • Defensive: A rogue who needs to be”defensive” would simply try and avoid as much damage as possible. This would include moves like evasion, vanish,blind, dismantle, gouge, and trying to re-stealth.
