Smolderforge Support Community

Since I havent noticed here any thread like this, I would feel honored to open one myself.
1. Races - [A] Dwarf + Dwarf /Dwarf + Gnome ( gnome war is better versus wd/rd, dbl dwarf works fine vs dpr/spr/rm). [H] BE + Orc/ BE + Tauren
2. Specs - War shouldnt definately play deep arms mace spec , sweeps wont work on smolderforge i guess due to the lack of rage, but feel free to test it out.

6.Arena Tactics

RD - open up near pillar , sacri on war ( sometimes breaks dmg by roots b4 rog can open up on pal, and makes the rd team needs to go on paladin). SoJ 24/7 rogue . War should sit on rog until you are safe. They should burst a lot on the beggining . I personally dont like to use insi/bubble on start . Just use stoneform and shock crit urself . Freedom urself unless u have stoneform to remove crip. Stun rogue to force his insi. Next time when he is low and in LoS of his dru he wont have it. Its also possible to switch on dru but just in case the rog cant catch paladin anyway. Unless its ruins it shouldnt be 2 hard and will look like this

DpR - kinda tricky, if you dont play 2x dwarf its hard. Watch out for burns. The biggest mistake i noticed is if dpr will split you up. You will try to avoid gettin feared from DP and the war will take dmg anyway . Conclusion HpW never splits up against this comb . Go DP but if war is cripped and freedom on cd instantly swap on the rog, no point walkin around the pillar if dp will kite anyway. Try sacri blinds with harm macro sometimes work. Save stun for the priest. PS is once every 3 min where ur HoJ is 50 sec cd with 2/3 talent . After ps stun and shock judgement for a nice pressure . Even if he wont die , he will have to use some mana and swap to defensive mode, that point u can drink.

WS - Best option is not standing near the sham in this case HpW should split up, a pummel shock can be deadly combination considering pal plays 4x4x with not so much resi can be tough. SoJ shaman if he tries to pillar Your war out. Save freedom for urself to escape from their war if they go You. Try winning by killing their shaman.

WD - Kite to eyes on crus aura . After they pop pick a pair and go play hide n seek with the dru. BoP ur mate if he is disarmed and dru is available to kill. If wd goes you and you split up SoJ war instead druid and bof urself to kite out he will have to return to Your war , and You can drink if needed in that time

HpW vs HpW - always watch Your mana pool, the amount of mana mostly determines over the match result. Start on paladin with a stun judgement and shock. Try force a bubble and kill after it , mostly its not so easy. You can kite opposite warrior on SoJ + bof combination and mountings up. OR just seal of wisdom him and fake a lot . You can also try to solo their war - dont use cons here its too mana expensive , just judgement of wisdom and seal of righterous autoattacks with bsd mace 300+ holy dmg each.

LD - try kill 2 pets and go lock after , hard antisetup considering Curse of Tongues on paladin recudes his casts so badly .

SpR - sacri war on beggining and go for combat on priest . Its needed that war los dispel sacri when ur sapped so the spr cant make so much pressure on start. If spr goes paladin . You should insi kidney shot just if they dot you up . not pure dmg , otherwise they will obv blind u after or fear and swap to war. If you are blinded dont insi it but BoP urself that way You will still have insi for a possible fear.

RM - try going rogue and losing mage. insi ks if needed and stun rogue. Next time he wont have insi and it might give u the needed kill. SoJ him and freedom urself but rebless right after so the mage wont have time to spellsteal it . U should also rebless ur war often with r1 bom after bof in case he dont have bof cancelaura macro.

anyway a paladin cant beat my warrior
