So where do you guys get your information?Follow

I was born with PvP knowledge.

Just kidding, mainly what I get info from is from talking to other PvPers, PvP videos, Arena Junkies, etc.

Mostly PvP videos, though.

This is going to sound horribly wrong, but most of what I do in PvP is instinct.

I've watched PvP videos and had people tell me to click Rend and other useful stuff in ye olde Arathi Basin BG chat, but I'm horrible at multitasking and when I'm fighting, my adrenaline is sending my heart into 200 BPM overdrive (no kidding). Basically I mash buttons and often win because I'm damn good at mashing buttons.

What little skill I incorporate in my PvP is based on my six years of having played the same class. A "modern" Feral Druid would probably not dream of using stuff like CC and heals and LOS to his or her advantage. Now, mind you, I don't do Arena, so this "modern" Feral Druid is on the same level as me in terms of difficulty. It's your usual random BG person. And I don't mind talking smack about these Feral Druids, because I've seen my share of them.

Having played a Druid for so long, it's on my backbone. I'll Maim someone, shift out, Innervate the healer/caster, heal myself, shift to Travel Form, run away, shift to Cat Form, stealth, reopen and win. Not because I'm good, but because it comes natural to me that my Druid can move faster than others on foot, can stealth, can heal, can replenish mana (although Blizzard sort of kicked Innervate in the gonads for us Ferals).

I've done some PvP with my Druid as a Resto healbot. I had (have) about 200 resilience in my "PvP gear" and yet I ended up doing the most healing and with just one death (as opposed to three or six). Not because I'm just a mad skilled PvP dude who spends his nights watching Arena videos (I spend my nights watching Starcraft 2 replays, but I still suck at Starcraft 2, lol). It's just that I know how to utilize my class to what I think is the maximum profit.

Call it mad improvisation skills if you want, but I tend to not get locked into one specific mindset when it comes to PvP. That's why it's so fun - it's never the same fight.

And I guess a lot of it boils down to trial and error, since you can't really have six years of experience without having failed a lot of times. Well, maybe if you're Theo, but us Earthlings can't.

For me it is pretty much trial and error with all my classes. I just read my tooltips and see what does what, then figure out a good way to use them. There is also alot of swearing involved.

Been levelling a kitty recently and I only today realised I was ganking wrong. Before I would stealth-charge-tiger fury-ravage-mangle until ferocious bite. It was fairly effective but not so much against healers. Today I learned what I could be doing is stealth-pounce-mangle-rip-run away, get a little bit of distance to feral charge and ravage. That should be me at 4 or 5 combo points so I tiger fury for max energy and ferocious bite for the lols.

Now to a long term feral player all that might seem fairly obvious, but all I wanted to do when I started in Battlegrounds was sneak up behind someone and use my hardest hitting attack.
