The vicious war spider is absolutely badass. But I’ll have to win ranked PvP?
How does one start a journey into “ranked” PvP?
The learning curve is so ahead of me. In group finder they already want people that’s already skilled.
I’ve never ran a DPS spec. Always tank.
Can prot warrior effectively run PvP?
Any tips would be noice lol
Just do duo DPS 2s, or build synergy with a complete team and practice. There is really nothing to it than that.
Pick a comp you like that you have fun doing, put on some chill tracks to vibe to, and make a night out of it. Plenty of PvP guides to match your class of choice on youtube, as well as stuff like icy veins and wowhead. Just make sure they are the up to date ones, I once spent a half hour watching a mistweaver guide when I first started healing only to realize it was like from WoD or whatever.
It’s really only worth it if you’re having fun though. If it stressed you out, don’t even worry about it, it’s not worth raising blood pressure for; that’s why I suggest the chill tunes. They help me keep myself calm and relaxed and if you feel anger or frustration coming on (as it will in PvP, I promise) then just take a break and step away. Come back when everything is calm again.
I wouldn’t recommend tank specs, I believe even in Arena they take additoinal damage but don’t quote me on that. Most comps focus on combining the strengths of DPS and healers together to overcome their individual weaknesses while exploiting the weakness of other comps, just poke around youtube or google for the specifics, there is far too much that can be said here I’d be typing all day and I’m already in TL;DR territory, hope that helps!

Find YOLOs and or cap groups. Past couple of nights it seemed like everyone was asking for a healer. It’s really a dps/healer environment.
Tanks more of the mythic plus and raid. I played a few BGs as blood in BFA only because my 2HD gave me a higher ilvl.
Now I can do both as frost.
im too new with a rogue and with ranked system, 1400 is my max cr with my current skills.
I’m not gonna sugarcoat it, you’re in for a long uphill battle. I started rated pvp in legion season 1 with no experience and it took thousands of games, dozens of arena partners, and 3 pvp seasons before I was finally “good” at the game (I consider 2k rating to be “good.”)
The fact of the matter is, the only people who play rated anymore are the pvp gods who already know what they are doing. Can you break through with enough preserverance? Of course! But it’s gonna be rough

We’ll that’s some good information man thanks! Before I started a tank I gave fury a try but in PvE I couldn’t heal enough and would always get smeared all over the place lol
So now my next question is do I go fury or arms? I remember in Legion arms dominated in Pvp like crazy! But it’s that healing factor that I’m always missing out on.
Which protection warrior offers by the way lol I feel like a god in prot spec.
Go arms find a healer slap 2’s

Arms?
What’s arms do that fury doesn’t?
Damage. Fury is in a bad place, Arms also brings mortal strike which is great in pvp in general.
Like a one on one scenario out in the world… would arms be able to put up a fight?
Yeah Arms can fight one on one its not the best situation but they pump out great damage sadly Warriors are kinda healer dependent in pvp they wont do as well solo as other classes but they make up for it with the damage they can pump when getting healed
Reroll rogue. Thats what Im doing for the War Spider.
This is true.
What’s also true is this expac is flipping the script somewhat… giving a lot of insentives to get folks back into PvP. Be it “rerolls” from the Great Vault as well as a return of Honor/Conquest gear.
I know a friend is trying PvP for the first time and it’s blowing my mind… as she literally despised it for, like 14 years. I also haven’t PvPed competitively since MoP… and never as a Hunter, so I’ll be stepping back in it as well, I believe.
I think folks will find their lack of skill emulated by others… and it’ll be a target rich environment.
Play Arms Warrior with any other bad A melee class like Windwalker Monk, Unholy Deathknight, Ret Paladin or Feral Druid and throw down Bastians Spear covenant ability and watch your teammate roll people while they can’t get away.
