HotR does less % weapon damag, therefore building less threat on single target is why you use CS or hotr

Checked tooltip yesterday as i was grinding: it's indeed true CS does much more weapon damage, but HotR has holy damage added.

Speaking of numbers: Lv83 using 1h+shield, CS was doing 1900 while HotR was around 2100. Sure thing, CS is much cheaper in terms of mana but it's not I have any kind of mana issues while playing.

I know you're right about switching abilities, it's just I don't know where the hell to put CS on my action bar >_>

/cast [nomod] Crusader Strike; [mod:alt] Hammer of the Righteous

Problem solved, hold down ALT hammer, hit your normal bind CS. If you wanna change the [mod] to shift, ctrl or whatever you can.
CS should always be used single target, and hammer with 2+ targets.

Thanks a lot, that would definitely work. Lazy me again for never really looking into it.

Does Distract(rogue) still change the direction pvp players are moving in pvp?

yes

[Mortilox]

Hmm, maybe I'm lagging a bit then. Or does it not work if whoever they are is holding down W?

[Mortilox]

also, didn't realise they dropped the graveyards in warsong gulch so you can't run directly back to the flagroom.. any blue posts on this or what was the reason?

You can fight the direction change if you are properly controlling your camera. Distract also fails on targets in combat, so if he's getting arrowed he won't even flinch at Distract.

There was a blue post. I think the reason is exactly what you said, so you can't run directly back to flagroom.

Yeah it's due to that reason. I thought they had changed it so people couldn't camp your Gy as well, but it's much easier to camp them since you can cast on people from the ground too. The change is really nice though, makes those turtles a little less annoying when you can kill the healers and know they won't be coming back in 5 seconds at full mana

been playing my arcane mage a bit for shits and giggles in pvp. Could anyone give some tips for dealing with frost dks? it's typically them that end up owning me 1 on 1 if they know wtf they're doing.

also, my guild might be slowing down for summer and not raiding at all until firelands so I might pvp more often, but.. could I reforge and regem my pve gear for resilience and shizzle? would that work well? also, I only need 5% hit for pvp right?

thanks

[Kaylia]

You cant reforge resilience, and your hit rating is the one needed against lv85 target.

If you're arcane a frost DK is going to rape the hell out of you, especially if they are focusing you down. 1v1 w/o the super control or frost you'll die pretty damn fast. Your best bet is to get as much distance on them as you can, save blink for when they death grip you and blink out of that to start kiting them, but you'll be slowed/rooted by CoI/HB right away.

As a frost dk I never have an issue with any arcane mages, no matter how well they play. Frost mages are a different story though.

4% hit for caster pvp

Can I run heroics yet? 4 regular dungeons last night, every boss dropped something I could roll Need on, and all of it was inferior to what I already have >_>

Dungeon Finder says I can but I know it's not really being intelligent about it, and is being affected by my healer equipment in bags.

Armory below

I don't see why you can't. I estimate you get 125k HP after shapeshifting? I don't see anything wrong or bad if you did what you can in the 4 normals.

EDIT: Make that 140k maybe, just saw some gems, and I forget that bears have even higher HP boost after shifting =p

All depends on your healer now.

[Viq]

Heroics are just faceroll these days anyway. Go for it.

Pretty much this. Since the 15% HP buff things that could oneshot you in 340il gear probably won't now.

[Tajin]

I wouldnt try to faceroll Grim Batol trash tho, those packs can hurt, rest of the instances should be fine.
