    Warrior Basic PvP Arena Strategies

    Hello,

    I am just wondering, what are some good basic strategies that any warrior should know when in arena?

    Thanks.

    a few things that can help you:
    3v3 hints:
    - make sure that you and your dps are focusing one target to the point where they choose to use defensive cooldowns, then target swap forth and back randomly
    - communication is a key, if your with a ret or a death knight or going with resto healer you can have one target at 10k, rapidly cc the healer and faceroll another target down while they'll be unable to react.
    - as a warrior you should be able to solo a priest to some extinct, if you have a heavy dps partner try to turn on a priest without it noticing, from any target, a priest without hots or shields will stand no chance vs duo dps with mortal
    - make sure once your up against a druid that you focus him and watch his castbar, attempt to spell reflect cyclones while you risk a loss if you get cc'ed, do not spell reflect roots as it does absolutely nothing to a druid and he will simply recast it.
    - dont blow your pvp trinket on fears, roots, hammer etc if you have a dispeller on your team, a cyclone or cc that you cant be helped out of may fuck you over.
    - if you meet a ret/any/healer combo make sure to get your disarm up the moment there's any chance of any of you dying. hesitate to disarm a warrior because of weapon mastery.
    - versus a spellcaster combo, most likely wizardcleaves like destro/ele, be on your toes with spellreflect, those combos can and WILL make dust of you in a few seconds.
    - going with a death knight or ret make sure that you have several opponents near you if you can get a SS+BS(potential reck) off someone is likely to die.
    - use you shieldwall with care, once used you are a deadman without an excellent healer, and some combos will not even even have a problem killing you despite heals
    - finally remember this, if you dont apply pressure while playing a warrior you are no use to your team.

    everything you do, do it FAST. put all spells that are of any use on reachable hotkeys and practice using them. use a lot of macros, things like /cast [target:Myhealermate] Intervene.
    - pummel, spell reflect and shattering throw are very useful. practice using them.
    - tell your mates what you're doing and have them tell you what they do. especially have them tell you any CC they are in so you can react if necessary. We have lost a lot of games because i wasn't told that my healer was in sheep/fear/blind/etc.
