Getting to 1950 Rating for the Illusion

Saw the Holy Fire illusion for weapon enchantments, and I guess now’s a good a time as any to relearn how to PVP. I’ve never made a push for an elite set or a limited timed PVP set before. I’m willing to get a little sweaty here though.

What are you recommendations for someone not super familiar with PVP to go about getting this rating so I can get this enchantment?

Any suggestions on a spec to learn that you feel is the easiest to break into PVP with?
Should I look for an arena partner or is 1950 rating something that’d be easier to do solo?
Any addon recommendations or website/youtube channel with some PVP pointers?

Oh yea youll easily get it by playing a broken class like feral, hunter, and frost mage

If you haven’t PvP’d in awhile, temper your expectations a bit. I’m not sure how the MMR fix has affected things, but before at 1800 in SS you ran into a lot of former R1 players.

Play a class that can carry and works well with others: SPriest, Feral and BM all fall into that category. Ele might as well but I’m not sure how it does at higher ratings as more seasoned vets will know how to deal with ascendance.

Imo it’s always better to find a 2’s partner. You can chat over Discord to coordinate and will learn how to play with each other way better than a revolving lobby of random people.

Good luck!

Binge watch a lot of skillcapped, get keybinds set up, hop into Battleground blitz and go to town. BGB is the most inflated for getting rewards.

You only need to get 1950 now?

Yeah. Enchant is 1950. Elite weapon skins are 2100.

I mean just queue blitz? You’ll get it after about 100 games with no skill required

That’s wild

yeah, imo they should have put the weapon skins at 1950 and kept the enchant at 2100, but ohwell.

Such a weird change, but whatever.
This is nice for me though; I’ve never cared about the weapon skins as I’ve always used the invisible monk fist weapons, but at least this makes it even easier to get the enchant I guess.

Eh the illusion is pretty mid in my opinion.

I’ll still collect it for the giggles.

Starter mmr in ss is 1770 right now so unlikely to fight a lot of r1s

If you just 3-3 your way can just ride the mmr to free 1800 rn
