Using the Element of Surprise to Your Advantage in World of Warcraft

Comments (0)

Rogues can use the element of surprise better than any class of course. To get an easy player vs. player kill a rogue's abilities are ideal. But if you are not a rogue you'll need a little more creativity while trying to surprise the other player. Take a look at these strategies which can get you the pvp kill even if you are out geared.

1. Drop out of the sky at the right time. I like to wait until another player just pulled a mob to make my move. They are engaged already with a mob so you drop out of the sky from behind(most players rarely look up so stay bit above them) and bam...they are half dead before they even realize you are there.

2. When a player is eating or drinking it's a great time because that means they are not full life or full mana and you have a serious advantage.

3. When someone just resurrects they are low life and low mana it is a great time to get them. I like to stay way above and wait until their corpse turns to bones so I know they rezed and then look for them and kill them again.

4. When the opposite faction is dueling it is a huge surprise to pop in a kill both of them. I like to wait until the duel is over or nearly over so you know all or most of their cool downs are used up so you can easy wipe the floor with them.

5. Low level opposite faction zones. I like riding through those low level contested zones and killing any lowbies I see. Trust me they are surprised to see you there and will run like heck to try and stay alive. I like to kill them at least two times, this way they will go get the mains. I mean let's face it 1 gank is OK but 2 is just 2 much to handle. Just leave after the second gank if you don't want to deal with the main character.

6. This last one is just for rogues for the most part but I have seen others pull it off as well. You just have hide in the bushes or behind stuff. Mail box camping is by far the funniest thing ever. You wait near opposite faction town mailbox and wait for someone to check their mail...and Wham. You can take them out, 90% of the time, before they can even exit the mail.

Timing is everything whenever with any of these strategies. Using the element of surprise to your advantage isn't just for rogues.
