I'm a World of Warcraft noob
World of Warcraft (WoW) is a massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG) released in 2004 by Blizzard Entertainment. Set in the Warcraft fantasy universe, World of Warcraft takes place within the world of Azeroth, approximately four years after the events of the previous game in the series, Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne. The game was announced in 2001, and was released for the 10th anniversary of the Warcraft franchise on November 23, 2004. Since launch, World of Warcraft has had nine major expansion packs: The Burning Crusade (2007), Wrath of the Lich King (2008), Cataclysm (2010), Mists of Pandaria (2012), Warlords of Draenor (2014), Legion (2016), Battle for Azeroth (2018), Shadowlands (2020), and Dragonflight (2022).

best wow youtuber i've seen for a while, i'm an old-school wow player and still enjoy it too this day but too see someone new too the game going through the journey of learning what too do is amazing too see, also would love to see and be a part of a raid where you try too lead people next patch

[@TimothyRisby]

IMPORTANT! 20% more Stamina and Damage if you equip both types of PvP trinkets. It’s a must for PvP.

[@abadbm2player]

As an 1800 arms warrior it's great seeing a pvp baby (in a good way) seeing them experience the game. A tip for you with the armor and such is you should buy your weapons first before armor for the damage I look forward to seeing the pvp videos in the future and I followed the twitch.

[@sweetbabylilo]

Been following your journey since the beginning. Really glad you're diving into the only activity I enjoy in the game. Hope you stay a while

[@OG_Loudermilk]

Here from Supa’s react, keep goin at it man! I started in shadowlands season 1, and I was hard stuck 1300, but now I’ve been all the way up to 2400. Learn your class first and go from there! GL 💪🏻👏🏻💯💯

[@terlondre]

1. those items you got from quest at 3:42, those are for crafted pvp gear. some of the crafted items are best in slot so use them. as warrior you should get crafteed boots that give strenght after interupt and helmet that gives stats. you can have theese items crafted normaly, but when you add theese tokens to crafting order, those items will get that ilvl increase in pvp battles 2. if you already have PvE tier pieces of decent ilvl, you should use them instead of honor gear, untill you get pvp version of those pieces. you get pvp tier sets by converting the equipment you buy for conquest points. the conversion happens at the same place as PvE 3. you should change your talents for PvP. build that are used for PvE are not best for PvP and vice versa, since PvE focuses on pure damage while in pvp you need survivabilty and utility aswell. You also might try Arms spec since its better than Fury, but Fury will do aswell 4. in rated pvp (2v2, 3v3, solo shuffle, rated battlegrounds), game will match you with players of similar rating. there is your personal rating and your match making rating. MMR is determined by your rating and whether or not you have won last few matches, if mmr drops bellow your rating, you will loose rating. 5. Solo shuffle is the only rated mode you can sign in for alone. the others you can only sign in as a group Bonus info to motivate you: there is even cooler looking armor for conquest points and even cooooooler looking armor for when you get your rating above 1800 *wink, wink*

PvP has a steep learning curve but once you get the hang of it, it’s so rewards and fun cause you’re actually interacting with other enemy players. When you outplay someone it’s one of the best feelings in wow imo

Nice vid dude, hilarious commentary and fun editing. PvP can be quite a steep learning curve for new players, also there is an elite pvp set that you can look up.

Dude this is awesome to see new blood at it. I hope you keep at it once you get the hang of it you'll love it. I've been playing wow for over 16 years so I love to see new people come into the fray. Wow is finally on the upswing after a desperate rough patch. We need new folks like never before.

[@stroud5755]

Awesome to see, that you try out PvP! I started back at the end of WoD and never really played PvP, maxbe 1 or 2 BGs but not more. But the Elite (1.800 raiting in Arena or RBG) Paladin and the DK Set from Shadowlands Season 3/4 looked so damn good that i said to myself, okay boy, its time to learn how to PvP and play Arena. And since then, i really enjoy PvP. I also got the 1.800 with my Shaman this Season, because i really, really wanted that Set, and tbh i really proud of it.

[@sebxsu]

just picked up wow this month and instantly hopped into pvp once max level, been a blast but man is there A LOT of EVERYTHING to learn and keep track of

Love to see a new player getting into a pvp! You might already have it but I didn't see it on your bars so ignore me if i'm wrong, but don't neglect pvp trinkets. The medallion is an on use crowd control break, and when you wear 2 different pvp trinkets (the other ones are either dmg or a health trinket) you get bonus stats. GL!

[@nadiko0537]

Hey man I’ve been loving your videos keep up the good work

[@OverlordMoon]

Having been in the WoW PvP scene for a few years and getting competitive with it, it makes my heart happy to see new players giving it a go. I feel like there's been points where I've taken the game (especially rated) a bit too seriously, and seeing your perspective and finding joy in the things I take for granted like the battleground modes, interactions with other players, learning what classes are doing in the PvP sense, etc. is super wholesome and I definitely needed to see this. Love your content!

As a pvp player, I'm really impressed by your first matches, usually ppl are getting destroyed with their first match undergeared, you did well !!

Love your videos man! more pvp ones please :D

[@Good_guy__]

nice video! would love to see more

[@J.Arnold]

Lol this was a great watch! As someone who has been pvp'ing for 19 years, this was a delight. Gear is incredibly important for PvP. Fighting players with more gear than you can sometimes feel like an impossible task. Secondly, WoW PvP is more-so a game of knowledge than hyper-precise reaction speed, so the more you learn about other classes and your own, the more strategy you can implement into your matches.

[@gs-fp8gy]

insane video made me laugh so much keep it up!

[@rave0077]

Just found u before going to bed. You got a new sub friend!

I never reply, but as a long time WoW player, it's so much fun to see new players give different aspects of the game shot! To be honest, I wish I was a new player again!

[@mgk0586]

just saw this video from Supatease channel. Love that new ppl are trying it out and hope more pve people will do rated. I know it's hard to learn and you get destroyed at first especially once you get up past 1600 rating for the first time. Please stick with it and bring others with you. Coming from an ex mythic raider, once i found arena i fell in love and i haven't done a single bit of pve once i found pvp. The amount of skill to be a top pvper is just insane. great vid! stick with it please

hey long time pvper here. i started pvp back in cata and have been obsessed with it ever since. i follow a lot of rank 1 players and watch all the tournaments and in general id say i know a lot about pvp. love to see you enjoying it! a "problem" with wow pvp is that if you wanna be successful you need some knowledge first. you need to learn about all the classes and specs and their most important offensive and defensive cds. so i recommend to do that and then practice a lot. focus on unrated pvp first like skirmishes and random bgs. at least thats what you should do first if you wanna tryhard in rated arena later :D if you wanna keep it casual which is completely fine aswell just stick to bgs and skirmishes and mash your buttons :D im not saying that wow pvp is rocket science because its definitely not but like i said if you wanna be successful you need some knowledge first. the good thing is there are a trillion guides for everything these days so you should have no problem learning if you really are interested

[@CkayCinematic]

@7:52 is crazy. Shows how messed up Rated Queues are. You've never played Rated before, but it put you into a 1,600 rated lobby. It now makes sense that you get bots (bad players throwing) in medium rated games because they can literally be first time players.

The guy who helped you out was just awesome, it even got me in my feelings for a second there. I Can’t remember If you had key binds setup on that first video or not. I use to click my spells and it puts you at a huge disadvantage. It was a night and day difference when I got use to it, and I’m glad you did the same and it looks like it’s working out for you.
