How to PvP in the Dalaran Arena of WoW

Published on by makro

The major difference between the high level players and the low level players of World of Warcraft is that the first ones use the environment of the arena to their advantage while the lower ranked players do not take advantage of this environment. More specifically, let's see the secret tacticts of the Dalaran arena.

This arena is my personal favorite really because there is so much to it. There are those boxes on the side if you want a line of sight pillar, there is two levels which allows for many sneaky tricks you can do, and that pillar of water that falls every now and then and causing line of sight problems is awesome for a burst set up.

 

Boxes of the Dalaran Arena

The boxes on that map should be used just like the pillars in the nagrand arena. You can just keep running around those over and over again avoiding your enemies line of sight and keep the melee on their toes, and if the people you are playing with slip up they might fall off because running around those boxes is really close to the edge and anyone could easily make the little mistake of falling off that would have huge ramifications.

Levels of the Dalaran Arena

Like I was saying about how the enemy could easily slip up and fall off to the lower level, well when I play I like to take it one step further and force the enemy down to the lower level. It can be done so many ways, the best place to bring them down is from behind the boxes because that is the spot that has the furthest distance from the stairs so longest walk back. You can get them down there by just hanging around the edge and hoping they fall, or by running to the edge and as so as you get to the edge hit spacebar and hope they fall for it, but I like to use the moves classes are given to get them down there. I almost always play with a death knight, and when I was on my shaman and they were just sitting on me the death knight would jump down and death grip one of them down there with him. And that would be game changer. For instance, playing shaman death knight vs mage rouge, I can live against the mage up top but both of them would kill me, so death knight takes rogue down to the bottom and kills him will I only have to heal through one guy. Hunters can disengage jump back up, elemental shamans can thunderstorm them down, balance druids can typhoon them down, etc.

 

Pillar of Water of the Dalaran Arena

The pillar of water comes down periodically. This is my Favorite part of the map. My favorite thing to do with this is just play defensive and once that pillar comes down, pull the kill target to the opposite side of the pillar from his healer, put his healer into a crowd controlling move, then pop all the cool downs you got on the kill target. The healer will be in a crowd control so he will not be able to heal, and if he gets out of the crowd control he still has to run all the way around the pillar to get to his teammate. Once this strategy is executed it puts tons of pressure on the other team and as long as you maintain that pressure you basically have the game in the bag.
