[@MrGhost-st7rh]

Wow arena is such an overwhelming experience for new players. Even people who play for a long time and have memorized most of thr icons/abilities of each class can struggle. 1st and most important tip is try to find people that you enjoy playing with and do not care about rating AT ALL.

[@dragonwong3700]

Yea indeed, i play with a friend 2v2 and our rating stays the same always houvering around 1000 but we dont care, we just want the conquest gear to play bgs or gank in open world pvp. For comp gaming ill play league or something😂

[@radeon_7745]

For me the biggest problem in arena is get overthrown with the amount of things that happen all at once and the amount of things you need to get track off, My biggest achievement was only 2krating in 2s but that was only once and mostly i got to 1.95 around that… However i never spent so many hours in arenas maybe thats also a factor + teaming up finding a team i feel like is very frustrating because people don’t have patience with teaming.

They tried this in BfA, where you could queue for duels in the Mugambala, but it was a total failure. Queue times for the Mugambala duels were almost as long as Solo Shuffle queues im DF. I agree that a 1v1 queue would be nice, but they would have to give really good incentives to play it. However, some classes would be doomed to fail in such an environment, as some specs just suck at 1v1's compared to others.

I envy the editing done in this video, it's so beautiful and underappreciated. I definitely strive to be able to edit this good someday. lol. Great video guys :)

[@janparkki5704]

This video seems to be made specifically for me. Thank you for considering new and unskilled players. I appreciate this kind of content =) In practice, I've done pvp since vanilla and still find myself currently stuck at 1200 again. It appears that just playing for a long time doesn't make one automatically good. I was watching the video and thought I've heard this before. Then near the end, point 7, game knowledge, clicked for me. It seems to be the key. I realized I don't know anything about other classes' abilities. I haven't even bothered to read all of mine in detail. And it's been 20 years =) Because of this, I don't recognize game states. I don't know how to respond to enemy CDs. I seldom even notice when they're popped. And also I almost always fail at executing CC with burst. This was a fine video for identifying the weaknesses. It'd be great, if you could next do one about designing a training regime. For example, how do you learn all the abilities? There are literally hundreds. I keep looking at them and still, when I see the small icons pop again, my mind is blank =) It's harder than learning a new language. I just can't remember them.

[@janparkki5704]

Interestingly enough play times seem to matter too. We've always played during mornings (euro time) and gotten crazy 2k+ opponents. Now we had the chance to play an evening and went easily to 1400.

[@bradyvilhauer4445]

This is an awesome amount of realization here & self awareness! How has the journey been since 4 months ago I’m curious? This is my fave thing about WoW; the learning. It is indeed a lot of abilities to learn and memorize - I’ve played almost every class over the years so still remember what Anti-Magic Shell does (DK) or Holy Shock (Paladin) etc. That helped me a ton. Because yes, new abilities come out on expansions, but priests kind of always have psychic scream. If the game were so basic without all the different abilities, my mind would get bored and I’d want to do something else! Ha.

[@terlondre]

20:12 the volume you mention is not just overall, but current. Doesnt matter if someone has done thousand of arena matches if it was few expansions ago, or even few seasons ago... I had to come to terms with the fact that i now suck at WoW simply because i don't have time to play so much as i used to. Nowdays i am able to get 15-20 matches a week if lucky and the game outpaced me. Muscle memory got sloppy, reaction time slow, awerness is gone.... I am now happy just casualy playing at low ratings, but for my ego it was hard truth to swallow that I, who used to play among best on my server over a decade ago am getting owned by people who weren't even born when i started with WoW :D

[@Eldude2112]

Fantastic presentation for all types of players as a reminder of what it takes to PVP. Well done!

The charge/hamstring macro never fails due to Charge's minimum distance. If you wanna off-snare as long as they're in melee range it won't charge. I have one for my SV hunter too. D will Conc Shot my target, but will harpoon a mouseover. Amazing for keeping my target while I poontrap healers.

[@raembes]

I also did something stupid and I never changed it in regards to keybinding. I played Holy Paladin for many years and managed to get to Gladiator two times in MoP (quitted the game in WoD) and I always clicked my targets. The only exceptions were Alt for casting at myself, and a mouseover macro for setting a Focus. I also left the C key bound to Character overview, never changed it. As melee DPS I also had to click targets as I changed the tab key to Insignia lol - still got to duelist tho!

Skill capped, can u please do a deep analysis Positioning breakdown video? So many games are lost because of poor positioning, and dmg and cc are also benefited by good positioning. Please break it down for us.

[@mattsandford]

I don't care what you say, most people arent streamers, awc competitors or gladiators. If you gotta reroll to play the most broken classes and comps every season that screams desperate for validation to me. You're like a sports fan whose favourite team to support is whoever is winning at this particular time because you think it makes you look good by association. The counterstrike example would make sense if guns were rebalanced every couple of months, and you had to invest weeks of levelling a character + several days of setting up your UI, binds and macros etc just to play a class you don't enjoy as much. There's a fundamental difference between having your classes time to shine, and dunking on everyone else because you play the most broken shit every season. What makes it most annoying is that it almost forces everyone else play like this as well, or just suffer as a minority on a class they actually enjoy. God the worst part about a r1 player having a stupid take is that half of them now feel validated

Automatic LIKE, just for mentioning the legend, RECKFUL.

[@eninja8152]

that apm counter is not real actions per min its counting everything he does like spamming keys when hes cant even use them etc, not have 200+ apm in wow arena like how APM is used in Starcraft or any other game. We had someone the other day trying to say that wow apm is higher than that of a game like BDO where just 1 skill input takes like 3-4 actions. So when lookin into it the APM counter that he was showing as an example which was this one was counting every action he was hitting wheather it was usful or not. So just smashing your keys so you can use them as soon as they are up (which would normally be 1 action maybe 2 since it only takes 1 action to activate a skill) it turns into like 10 actions bc of the spam slamming on the key whe its close to GCD

[@OldManDoom]

I really love PvP and am not a Rank 1 or anything close. I understand that. It does make it very difficult to enjoy PvP like RSS, when after the first round you get killed, use every CD to stay alive, but the healer who just did half as much healing as the opposing healer says “Braindead Ret” and then you get marked as the Go target every round. The next 5 rounds are full 3 man bursts of trying to overwhelm you, your healer not being able to handle the huge burst on you, and your partner essentially AFK’ing because at least THEY aren’t the turnip punching bag this time. It’s hard to learn anything we when you have BM hunters and Demo Warlocks in a 1500 bracket who just immediately pop everything and there are literally 20 mobs on the screen from all their pets. I feel like you almost have to rank up beyond 2k to actually get to opponents who do anything but “blow every cooldown immediately and hope someone else dies first”

[@HiddenView1977]

Complex macros are a must as a Druid. Sooooooooo many specs, sooooo many binds.

[@Ottakazi]

I wish they would take like abilities and change how they are displayed on the recieving end to help with identifying threats/CC. Like if a druid was casting Entangling roots on the recieving players screen under their name it would just say they were casting "hard cc". Or if it was a slow it would be "soft cc". Keep the flavor from the casters perspective, but clean up the unformation on the receiving end

[@pianospeedrun]

I'm a piano teacher and comparing your pedagogy and mine is very interesting. The low hanging fruit of improvement HAS to be practicing keybinds and imagining setups against target dummies. I'll go further and say, if you can find joy into perfecting your mechanics vs target dummies, then you won the game. It is possible to have more fun as a beginner than a rank 1 player, if you're locked in a state of flow and enjoying the process of making your actions clean vs a target dummy you might be having more fun than high ranked players stressed to the tits full of cortisol playing their life for a weak hit of dopamine (due to hedonic adaptation). Your rate of progression will be much more fullfilling than that of a pro. I'd even recommend giving up the grind once you plateau, unless you want to make money out of it, and switch to learning something else... like, the piano ;)

Nothing wrong with charge hamstring, charge in 3.3.5 had a min and a max range so unless your target is farther than 5 yards ( which would be too far for a hamstring anyway) you would just charge. Bajheera used this macro in 3.3.5 and so did I and it works well. Otherwise great video!

This is a comment for those who think arenas are just chaos and have no idea whats going on. The most arenas you do, the more you'll get used to what it going on. Look out for moments when they pop offensive cooldowns and react accordingly with your partners. some people will pop all thier shit in the beginning. some will wait for them to do it first. your initial goal is to get them to use thier defensive cooldowns with out popping your offensives by working as a team. Save your kicks and stuns for when you can garentee the kill. gl hf.

There are too much spells for every class it drives me completely insane. I don’t even like playing most of the classes, so I don’t want to spend like what 20-30 hours just to get comfortable with 1 SPEC. Just imagine someone starting with league, you can look at the champions abilities in launcher, read the item descriptions get comfortable with the game within a week and start improving your micros. You don’t need any yt videos, no addons, mods, whatsoever. Why isn’t there something like this in wow? I’m currently learning the Spanish language and I can tell you with confidence learning a language is by far easier and more relaxing than getting started with wow arena pvp it feels like fkin work. It’s the most exhausting thing I ever started in gaming and as much as I love the game all this shit combined with the people blaming me for BEING A NEW PLAYER. I can’t improve in arena skirmishes because the rewards are so bad I still need to improve my gear so I need conquest. It’s a never ending loop of frustration

PVP was great until Cataclysm, I haven't played WOW going on 9 years now. The way I learned besides learning my characters skill sets, I studied every other classes abilities and focused on how to counter those abilities by the abilities I had for my character whether offensive or defensive. Seemed to work out pretty good for me, especially in world pvp. Once they started nerfing pvp gear and started buffing pve gear they killed world pvp and made that gear pretty much only viable in pvp arena, but even then people with less skill wearing maxed out pve gear in pvp arena became harder to kill because Wow allowed set bonuses to gear to be active. Wow during vanilla up to Cataclysm was the best times to play WOW.

Best video in years 🤙

[@Trashloot]

I would argue that this is not a beginner video. A beginners problem is "i tried pvp and instantly got killed". I play wow since cata and i don't understand why i constantly attack an enemy without him taking serious damage and then i die in an instant. I don't understand why a press all my cool downs and the enemies health bar still doesn't go down. I don't understand why i can't barely keep myself alive in pvp with my raid geared healer while the enemies healers seem invincible. Noobs like me drop out of pvp long before we worry about how to change our pve keybinds for pvp. Wow pvp just has no good ingame feedback about what you are doing wrong. Your target dummy / pve boss damage doesn't seem to matter in regards to how fast you can kill someone in pvp. While pve mechanics are easily telegraphed so that you can easily discern if you should run away or keep attacking, there is no such thing in pvp. There is no plonk sound which indicates that im attacking the enemy while he is having a defensive cooldown active. Should i keep attacking him or should i run away and wait for his buff to run out ? I don't know. And the only way to learn is by constantly dying without having much fun. I was kinda hoping that this video would go over the basics because it would be cool to start getting a grasp of how to play pvp. But its so hard to get in to this thing. You can't even start learning pvp at lower levels because you either can't find a game or you run in to over optimized twinks which one shot you. So your only choice is to start playing with a max level character with a ton of buttons.

Even if the noobs watch this vid they are still clueless because arena is too fast paced to understand whats going on and there are too many abilities to learn the optimal rotation for max dps. Same goes to the arena stream viewers; they only notice when someone dies, everything else is just a pure chaos. Only rank1 glads are still playing arena because it literally took their whole lifetime to learn the game.

can someone tell me which site they're using here 20:08 ?

[@simeonbuchert1457]

As an actual new wow player considering PvP, I find this an amazingly complex and prohibitively steep learning curve. Stuck to open world "end game" content and looking for another game.

[@ivanmarkoski682]

wait for the new expansion and then start with pvp bro when somebody will be atleast at same gear, starting pvping in hte end of an expansion is always hard and not rewarding at all :D

[@red-alex9758]

i like the other guys voice but i can get kinda annoying hearing the same guy again and again just like everyone. so its rly nice that this guys is here even tho its just for a bit

[@TerranDL]

great video!

[@dantetaranto4434]

does anyone has some tipos for casters at arena? 1 got 1400 at 2v2 but I'm always carryed. MY Shadow Priest simply cant take any damage, many times i got insta dead. When I try to position myself, there is always a rogue infinite stunning and comboing me, or and hunter giving me like 2 shots, ora warrior/DK that kicks and slows me, turning impomssible to run/heal/fear etc

[@venrahtryne5253]

how do you even get into rated pvp? like I know there is solo shuffle but im not willing to sit in a queue for 20 minutes every match and I dont have friends that like pvp

[@bfkgod]

Do you guys advocate for ESDF instead of WASD? To me it is just objectively better. If you're going for optimal keybind suggestions, its something to consider.

[@brennanrodriguez122]

SDF And s = forward. No backpeddle button. It's never correct to backpeddle, the only thing I've heard in contest to that is that as a tank sometimes you want to back up a bit if mobs are spread and even then it's suboptimal but not in a consequential way.

What’s the video from at 21:35

[@marcusjordon-cb1sw]

Been stuck at 2100 since bfa I can't seem to get over it no matter how much I que or Try I watch so many videos and research as much as I can but still stuck and feel I'm doing something wrong but can't seem figure out

[@sicknickjimmy]

It’s the comp

[@marcellovalletta6821]

Lol love how I still have no idea what’s happening with the “minimal ui”

[@dominicd1789]

Min maxing and metas is cheesy. Play what u think is fun and interesting and a challenge. Not the most broken thing in the game just to “compete”

[@OneOfTheLoveless]

Palu made it. He got into a skill capped vid

[@CuizyCharts]

what are those nameplates?

[@NVWfuskis]

i have a bad habit to change class, i loose my focus on one specifik class
