Arena Skirmish Weekend
I aim to misbehave.
As a Rank 6 Brawler (impressive, right?), I know a thing or two about throwing down. (Literally. Like maybe two things. I don’t know how I’ve lived this long.) So when I heard that this weekend’s bonus event was Arena Skirmishes, I was naturally all over it. I pull decent deeps, have a good iLevel, and have some pvp experience. Time to farm some honor, baby!
Yeah, about that. I got a win or two, but for the most part my arena time looked like this:
*rush into the room*
BOOM HEADSH-*dead*
HASTA LA VISTA SUCK-*dead*
MOTHERFU-*dead*
Uh, okay guys let’s disc-*dead*
Back off-*dead*
Leave me alon-*dead*
AAAHHHH-*dead*
Now there’s many ways to approach a situation like that. You can tuck tail and run, or you can learn. Reddit’s PVP Page didn’t offer too much help, but it did point me in the right direction. I don’t know if it’ll make much difference for me this weekend, but I intend on checking sites and videos to see if I can lessen the suck and increase the pwn.
If you’ve ever been curious about getting into arenas, this is the time to do it. It’s fast 2v2 action, a wide cross-section of player experience will be doing it, it won’t take up much of your time, and usually the other person has already bailed out before they can tell you that you suck. At the very least, it’s 24 honor for a loss. Even losses add up if you get enough of them. Silver lining and all that.
Seriously, if you’ve ever even remotely considered it, this weekend is a good time to get your feet wet.
Do you do the pvp dance? Are you trying the skirmishes this weekend, or would you rather pull out your fingernails with pliers?
One Button Frost DK Macro For Patch 6.2
Time to chill!
Everyone wants an easy way to play their class. Some folks just can’t wrap their head around rotations, priority, and the like. Granted, there are plenty of folks who are more cutting edge players, squeezing every last drop out of their class. But there are plenty of players who just want to compete not suck. For those people, wowlazymacros is a great site to help set them up.
I’m starting to play around with this one button frost death knight macro, created by Amanda Nicole Hedrick for a Dual Wield Frost Death Knight. I’ve experimented with a few macros on Herculees, who admittedly doesn’t have the best gear. But this one gave me the highest burst and highest sustained dps for my gear. Plus, I like not having to think about Blood Tap.
Sequences[‘FrostDW’] = {
PreMacro = [[
/console Sound_EnableSFX 0
/targetenemy [noharm][dead]
/cast [nostance: 2] Frost Presence
/cast [combat] Pillar of Frost
/cast [combat] Anti-Magic Shell
]],
‘/cast [mod: alt] Soul Reaper’,
“/cast Howling Blast”,
“/cast Frost Strike”,
‘/castsequence Plague Strike, Obliterate, Death Strike’,
‘/cast Blood Tap’,
‘/castsequence Blood Tap, Plague Leech, Blood Tap, Blood Tap, Plague Leech, Blood Tap’,
PostMacro = [[
/use [combat]13
/startattack
/script UIErrorsFrame:Hide();
/console Sound_EnableSFX 1
]],
}
Now to use this, you’ll have to use the mod Gnome Sequencer. It can be a bit tricky to set up, so I’ll let Kephas explain how to do it.
I’ll probably start using this in PVP while making a few changes to talents and glyphs. For now, let Icy Veins be your guide for such things.
