Warrior tutorial duels vs mages

A tutorial for warriors in world of warcraft ... how to beat mages in duels

[@gigadevelopment]

The days when a mage had to cast....

[@kalistothenes]

... are back :D

[@dekeldeclan]

If arms warrior still played like this, I'd probably never log off.... lol

[@Levelord92]

what do you mean?

[@Marconel100]

He means it was awesome and fun.

[@810wasaninsidejob9]

WOTLK Arms was pretty fun, but the problem was since the rotation revolved around Overpower it meant you were discouraged from stance dancing.

[@stevejeffrey11]

@@810wasaninsidejob9 stance dancing is key to mastering warriors as there are many useful abilities in each stance: Defensive- disarm, shield wall, shield slam (removes magic buff on enemy) shield bash interrupt, spell reflect Battle- overpower, retaliation, charge, spell reflect Berserker- intercept, recklessness being raged starved after switching stances can be annoying though

[@matiasenriquez2897]

The last part was incredible. Very inspiring. Swifty you were, you are and you will be the best player in my opinion. All your videos are amazing. I still watching these old pvp videos of WOTLK. Congratulations!!

[@valideno9592]

fully're right!

[@BajheeraWoW]

Haha if you guys like spell reflect kills, I got a pretty nice one in the middle of a short little vid I made called "Bajheera-Darkspear 12-1-41 AB 65-69 Warrior PvP (#7)" :D Hope you enjoy!

[@norrum1551]

Seems cool, Bajheera! Will watch it later B)

[@DeathKnight1905]

I get the feeling that Swifty died along with Rend lol

[@ВладиславАбрамов-ю5ц]

How to beat the mage for var? 1.Find his home address 2.Cut off his hand And you have a chance Or find the same noob as in the video.

[@Ejay669]

The title for getting exalted with every BG has been in since before achievements. There is also an achievement for doing it but that doesn't mean it came with achievements, though the title did not come in pre-tbc it did come before achievements.

[@wowwarrzomg]

this clip is such a good motivation for me to do bgs.when i get bored of bgs i come here wathch this clip and go back to the bgs! So thank you Swifty never stop making videos!

[@keresztes92]

great job,but if you don't have any more engi,than what do you have? bs 4 socket s?:D

[@fbg111]

@7nvr Shield required for Shield Block. Possibly more resilience or stam from the shield enchant as well, not sure though.

[@BAM5992]

can also do forms of /equip (which is what you see in this video) /cancelaura will take off whatever buff it is, can be used for any buff on any class whenever (since buffs cna be clicked off its the same thing)

[@sequel4]

so i got a question for swifty im an arms warrior and im lookin for a nice arms build ive seen lotsa good warriors like u and lotsa warriors in arena teams all use trauma, and either skip weapon mastery, imp hamstring or unrelenting assault. why do they do that? im a 57/14/0 warrior and im not in that great of gear cause im still workin on it. i just need a suggestion for a build and the idea for trauma vs imp hamstring/unrelenting assault/weapon mastery my name is swordspunn in ravenholdt

[@Ikkiau]

@mikedahost It's possible, arc mage rolling full self buff's and maxed incanters absorb, could, not goingt to happen if he hits wall and or spel reflect

[@troublemakerX2]

@jay1201x ofc they can. stance dance, time cooldowns, spell reflect. get a macro for def stance/spellreflect cast, use the macro late in the mages spell so that he wont cancel it with a weak ice lance or something. spellreflect a deep freeze for stun, frostbolt for the slow, pyro and AB for more dmg. but CC spells are the most clever to reflect

[@Rianfalls]

back then was the snared animation just your races slowwalk?? because he slowwalks when the mage snares him with a frostbolt

[@thu12nv2012]

@TheRoazer They do more damage than you think, and it really adds up since they just sit there casting away. + they get an extra frost nova from them.

[@Avelol]

Just 1 question.. Is it good to use Shield Slam to dispel the Ice Barrier from frost mages ?

[@GotenSSJ1]

Don't you use any addons to track the cooldowns on charge, intercept, spell reflect, intervene etc. ?

[@TheRagnaroak]

Swifty, I think you should mention to use spell reflect as the mage is trying to shatter combo, because it will not just reflect the frostbolt, but the frostbolt AND the icelance. This puts out some pretty decent damage on the mage, but more importantly puts a snare up on him.

[@Relikboy]

@headchief4 Arms spec, Snares heal warriors the second wind talent and also engraged regeneration. He also put his spell reflect up alot but the mage timed his spells right.

[@AlexShelden]

Whats the name of that mod that allows you to put in your own voic when a spell falls off?

[@gaffigantootie]

Yup. Get behind them and rend. Or you can confuse them and bladestorm right off the bat. Force them to blink or iceblock. Cancel bladestorm. Now, you have both charge and intercept to play with.

[@jrc731]

@Ijjigunzhack You mean the mod that he specifically pointed out and named in the video? 4:35

[@akkikr]

@WoWrougeguy It was working well till 3.3 after that i stopped playing. what did they do with it?

[@MapleHue]

@Aliceinchains1234 Actually, a mage who has been intercepted is forced to use blink, as a 3 second stun is a very long time to be stunned. A geared warrior could quickly get the mage to about 70% health left in 3 seconds. Thats the reason he is intercepting first, and not charge, as 1,5sec is only half the stun intercept does. A good mage would not blink after the first charge, but he is forced to blink after intercept.

[@Fadeinblack]

man the end with that music while u talking about the field marshal grind that was so epic :D srlsy i loved it :P

[@Exata1337]

shouldn`t be impossible,but with the new talents its kinda lil harder to beat locks as warr imo,what specc is the lock?

[@tucci06]

Hey buddy, I was hoping you would put this up, my duel partner happens to be a frost mage and I happen to be a NE warrior lol, and yeah you didn't miss anything here so very nice job. I made an Undead mage as well and took him engineering especially for the boots for warriors and rogues :D best profession IMO.

[@Zigeunerweisen20]

I'm losing it going through the hundreds of Immediate Music songs. What is the song at 5:50-7:30? It used to be in the tutorial vs. rogues video as well. Would appreciate it if anyone could tell me. Thx.

[@1991kessu]

Coronation - Immediate Music

[@Scriibble4]

@RAVer2036 Talent in the arms spec, its Juggernaut. its deep in the tree but its a must have for pvp

[@TruePkeraGaming]

So Im starting a new toon... Should I level up a warrior or mage?

[@Jakob143]

@BackDownBaby no.. you dont stance dance anymore.. not as arms if you're thinking about it...

[@freedon420]

Whats the add on you use to remind yourself to reapply rend could i use it with my shadow priest to telll me to reaply my dots

[@Isuju]

One thing I like to do if I ever get a chance is shield bash ice barrier, but its pretty hard to do so most of the time.

[@Peppeblackmetal]

this is a good video, those mages are good but not so much... A friend of mine is the best frost mage i know, hes tatics is to stay near enough to dont let u use charge/inter but far enough to dont be hitted. If u blade storm he will blick away and if u charge him after BS he will start all over over, any suggestions to beat a mage like my friend?

[@LanceGehay]

@Aliceinchains1234 idk which one but what ever one of those that stuns for 3 seconds we have to blink or our barriers can go instantly, and then your dots are free to eat at our hp.

[@ciornianucristian]

how do u make the spellreflect macro ? I tried : /equip Shield of the Lion-hearted /castsequence Defensive Stance, Spell Reflection it doesn't work it needs double click :-s

[@wazzup9933]

Hey man i was just wondering if maybe you could make a little vid when you beat Fiveshot in a duel he has made alot when he beats you but you gotta show how pro you are man you are the resion i lvld my warrior at tbc btw nice to see some vids from you they are good.

[@BeyondThaDeepWoods]

same here, he has alot of great memories too and thats what some of his vids are about he does have a ret paladin but his warrior is his main

[@joaochiaffitelli2913]

The mages are playing in open field there is bo line off sight!! Can you beat an arc mage in arenas?

[@Quin360]

what is the name of the song at 5:50 ???

[@Amistadius]

when u look at swifty's movies, it's no other comment than "Warriors are f**** OP" :P GJ mate. You're doing great work here, helping every1 to get better in warrior class.

[@Wellsworth111]

even though this video is outdated, it is still sooo much fun to watch

[@Zagatron]

swifty what do you do about 5-8 kite?

[@galen93]

How come you're using icebreaker weapon on your 2hander?

[@strych88]

@helgard36 i usually use middle mouse button to move while fighting, so i have left hand totally free for using skills and still i can use my right hand thumb to use additional mouse buttons

[@Rangax1]

Can you get that 20min movie old school back on youtube? :) Love them so much ;P Love all of your vids, my WoW idol for sure xd

[@redarrowhead2]

intercept and charge (as I've heard and am to lazy to check) share the same cd, so this no longer works. As a warrior back in BC, I only lost to frost mages. This is an arcane mage and doesn't have nearly as much snare potential as a frost mage. Also he does measly damage for an arcane mage in the first place.

[@Nightball12]

@r4gEd Umm, ok if you think so. can u mention a class that takes skill then??

[@Ikkiau]

Annoying as hell thing is getting a full frost bolt absorbed by frost ward on an arc mage, because they get almost 1000 spellpower form it and the next hit's going to be hard, and your out of spell reflect.

[@Xenophontes]

love the music...what are the songs in this vid?

[@helgard36]

Need help with how to move during bgs and duels - not just standing still. How do those rogues stunlock me and then run in a figure 8 around me?? can someone make a tutorial on how to move like that please (for a warrior)?

[@DeXenomy]

@JKDwarband Its called ICE BARRIER , and i agree , it sucks , even for me as a DK , the only defence i got is anti magic shield and death grip ..but still , there cooldown on there slow or snare spells are like 10 - 15 sec , and they got like atleast 4 of them

[@n4pster1337]

As a warrior, use your trinket in deepfreeze, use your +hp shout and +hp trinket to get the maximum effect of the 10% hp regeneration from getting stunned. Try to survive using shield wall and a +resil 1hander/shield and enraged reneration after you bladestormed his pet to death. Your bladestorm will be up way before his iceblock. Use fear once his mirror images are out. If you run out of snare, stay in distance and spell reflect his first snare spell, run towards him and charge after he blinks.

[@eryxviper]

Not the same CD, but they cant be used at the same time. Its like 20 seconds apart

[@Krattels]

You really inspired me to play warrior, great tips too.

[@loureiuk]

would like to play all Day long, but i need work man !! don't you work ? or win money playing ?

[@GummiGudna]

@ThePhysGun No its not, You will only gain the Water Elemental ability if you select Frost as your main specc

[@TheSTallINNA]

would like to see ur skills tree if you can.. i cant use charge after intercept.. :( it needs cooldown of charge,.

[@EeeScape]

This frost mage never uses ice lance when he could be; while waiting for freeze/ice bolt opportunities. In Cata, ice lance is more than a jab or potshots. They do really good damage esp when in DF.

[@sizzle1337]

havent seen a great warrior like this in a really long time, bl on the field marshal grind that shit was terrible :o hope to see u in aion - you goin dark/light/class :P?

[@simito96]

Whats the first song someone please tell its not in the description :O?

[@Gamer777777]

why dont you have 2 2 handed weapons?

[@CptSlow89]

why no prot spec for duels?

[@drkcrstl]

wow the tencnique to charge , then intercept (after the mage uses blink ) was awesome :o

[@magicdevil09]

good arena ratings? he has 116 - 114 win/loss and 2.1k

[@bamazudi]

I'm a bit sat at the changes being made to mages in MoP. Removing some freezes. I agree they are insanely OP if you know how to actually play a mage, but we will see if they are still top of food chain next to rogues and priests,

[@NexzyeWoW]

what realm you playing? I just got 80lvl warrior today on x20 realm:D

[@gsandvik]

Would love to see if you can make one v.s Feral druid. Nice tutorials.

[@randy54cc]

nice vid :) you play almost the same as me.. and great pick on making vid about mages lol. really damn hard for warriors to beat

[@HipHopJUVIE]

Hey Swifty just as an idea could u beat Fluid iv watched hes videos and hes highly skilld u can look him up on warcraftmovies or on youtube "skilled mage pvp" plz reply :)

[@xxkenshinxxtheruthlessscho4804]

Which warrior is the best Night Elf or Human? And dude wow man ur lie a legend and LOOOL when u were saying about pvping at the end the music was Perfect! 5:50 - 7:33 LEGEND!!!!

[@ranemaker]

Aww you got a race change, lol just looked ya up on the Armory, nice videos man.The old grind was TERRIBAD. lol

[@martynXXXXXXXXXXXX]

I love being frost mages, almost always have a freeze ready, improved cone of cold, frost nova, ice barrier shatter, pet ranged freeze and backup deep freeze :D

[@winer400]

yeah i know but i was talking about how the mage healed himslef when he cast polymorph on the spell reflect

[@Exata1337]

zerk rage fear,trinket death coil if u got,bladestorm slow/ bladestorm ASAP he uses his shield,like first: attack his pet for some rage,mortal strike him,bloodrage if not enough rage-bladestorm,and shield should be gone fast,then try get him stunned a little with charges :)

[@Ballom91]

@TheRoazer it has a frost nova that the mage can place where he wants,

[@Blue4gamer]

what expansion is wow in?

[@Quin360]

whats the song atb the end? really nice..

[@MKlugy]

Swifty pls can u show me your talent tree for arms and arp protect?

[@wowfreak151]

i'm still learning that siwtch to shield one-hander but i used it on a rogue and i blocked like more then 10 strikes of him i had almost none health left and i bliocked alot it really helps thx

[@dogs33333]

Is G-Force Better than swifty?

[@Vendetta453]

what's the name of the first song?

[@EmoCrusher87]

Darkmoon Card also procz on dots , so good to keep bleeds up,as he alredy said for rend.

[@fireball770]

what patch is this?

[@akohut99]

from 7-00 to 7 -33 so epic , so epic , combined with music , liked it much GIEF OLD GRIND BACK "!!!!!

[@gwynbliedd]

go roures. are you going to make a video for each class? you are insanly good dude, I have become a better player because of your tips. Thanks man! You rule! much love.

[@n4pster1337]

The warrior is then caught in sheep + nova, so using his trinket will grant him shit. Shatter, dead range (cone of cold) and df him with your petnova. Just just icelance him, singe he'll use trinket. You'll get charged eventually, blink and get your mirror images out (they eat his spell reflect). Shatter the with petnova once spell reflect is out, if he's still alive let him charge, nova-deepfree and shatter and then finish him off in dead range.

[@Ijjigunzhack]

anyone know the name of the mod he's using that says reapply rend?

[@n4pster1337]

The mage you are duelling is does not play very well :C You always save blink for the 2nd charge/intercept (depending on what he does first). The moment he runs towards you, you dead range the warrior (sometimes you can manage to jump while he charges, then you'll immediatly have some distance), use nova and fake-cast sheep him (that means you cast sheep, stop it once he goes to def stance and spellreflects, icelance the spell reflect and then sheep).

[@onxiaftw]

whats the song called?

[@simflanm]

yeah just cause you cant beat a class it should be nerfed ?

[@Takapotku715517]

what mod reminds you reply rend?

[@GDBEZ]

Damn swifty that last part made me miss your old 20 minute vid

[@li7in6]

if the mage doesn't blink out of the intercept you have 3 seconds to beat on him while he's stunned.

[@abdiel9224]

Porque no pones que salga cuánto de vida tienen los jugadores porque veo que tú sacas 10k y ellos apenas te sacan 2k a 3k y cuando reflejas se golpean 4k lo que me hace pensar que no tienen mucho ítems de nivel o por lo menos uno decente

[@brolype]

2009

[@RinLoller]

thank you so much, i actually don't use a warrior but your videos are really good.

[@s4shade]

He was rank 14 at one point, he had full Grand Marshal...It was like Maydie, generally most HWL or GM didn't keep the title because it required 14 hours of PvP a day.

[@WorldOfBloodcraft]

Thanks for the video man i love it, make more please

[@Prinoto]

@Jam0nBread Let's start by saying this :D The video is from 2009, they couldn't do the "jumping-thingy" whatever it's called and piercing howl didn't help that much since the warrior is slowed as well (90% during the fight). So yea, the mage could've done the 3-7 yard weakness. /watch?v=48K_8EyyGwc&feature=related However, now it's harder to do it but still possible. Even if they go out of range ONCE to charge :D
