Recognize, Act and Communicate : The three pillars of successful arena.

Posted 07/10/08 at 5:26 PM by Yes
What makes a Gladiator? It's the ability to successfully Recognize what your opponents are doing/planning, act in such a way that their plans do not succeed or force them to deal with your actions, and communicating with your partner(s) to actually achieve a victory.

First, a disclaimer:
I am a firm believer that there is an operating difference in the capabilities of different people's brains. Two individuals presented with the same input will react differently. Whether it...

Hello Shadowed. You're an author of a number of popular add-ons such as SSPvP, Afflicted and SSArenaframes. Can you tell me a little bit about yourself and your wow/programming background?

Hey. I'm 18, and getting ready to start college to study law eventually. I started programming a few years back for a resource site as an Admin and moved to WoW due to some friends.

Behind the scenes of Exploiting the Arena System

Tauren Hitboxes are bigger, Taurens can swing/be hit from farther away

Posted 05/21/08 at 6:33 PM by Yes
Look at this picture. On the left side I am targeting a night elf that's standing inside a tauren. On the right side I am targeting a tauren, in both sides I am on the outskirts of the hit range.

This is probably really noticible in PvP, eh?
