WoW MoP Classic Enchanting Boost

It's no secret that PvP combat in WoW MoP Classic is a major feature of the game, a great way to showcase your prowess and earn rare gear sets, weapon enchants, and honor titles.

But dying frequently in PvP isn't a good thing. While you'll respawn in the nearest graveyard, the durability of your equipped items will take a hit. More importantly, if you're killed in a zone currently at war, you might lose some Honor points. Fortunately, you won't lose any WoW MoP Classic gold or XP.

So, before you embark on a PvP encounter, it's crucial to know which skills and mechanics will give you an advantage, helping you win battles quickly and earn more loot. Here, we've compiled a list of some of PvP skills in MoP Classic, hidden mechanics that can enhance your gameplay, and even some gear upgrade recommendations. Let's take a look!

PvP Skill Changes

First, we'll take a look back at some of the most deceptively effective PvP skills.

In the original Mists of Pandaria, three PvP abilities were severely overtuned: Mage's Frost Bomb, Warrior's Heroic Strike, and Hunter's Stampede. These abilities have all been significantly nerfed in MoP Classic.

Frost Bomb, a Mage-accessible damage-over-time (DoT) ability, explodes after a brief delay, dealing damage to the primary target and slowing nearby enemies. However, the developers have now nerfed its damage to balance it with other abilities and specs. Now, every good Mage's first choice is Living Bomb, the best single-target DPS because of its 1-second global cooldown.

As for Heroic Strike, it's a Warrior ability that allows players to perform a single melee attack that deals physical damage. This skill used to be able to one-hit kills with a skill called Taste for Blood, but it was generally considered an inefficient way to spend rage, especially in certain situations, so much so that the developers eventually completely redesigned how it worked.

Stampede is a powerful cooldown skill for Hunters, effective in all specs. Once activated, it summons a stampede of animals, dealing heavy damage to nearby enemies over a short period of time.

This skill was actually buggy in the early months of WoW MoP, causing it to deal far more damage than intended during the prevalence of Hunter compositions in 3v3 Arenas. After the bug was fixed, it's still powerful, but definitely not as impressive as it once was.

Wintergrasp Is The Ultimate PvP Location

But if there's one thing the developers haven't nerfed in all these years, it's Wintergrasp. And yes, it's still the best way to farm adds and Honor in WoW Classic's Mists of Pandaria, especially by completing weekly quests.

Wintergrasp is a large-scale, area-wide PvP encounter in WoW Classic MoP that occurs every few hours. One faction defends Wintergrasp, while the other attacks, vying for control of towers and workshops scattered throughout the area.

The encounters occur at fixed intervals, and each 30-minute encounter is followed by a faction control period. The battle ends when the keep is destroyed or the timer expires. The victorious faction gains control of Wintergrasp for a limited period and receives faction-specific benefits and rewards.

Given the large-scale, objective-based PvP battlefield experience it offers, this zone is incredibly popular in Mists of Pandaria Classic. Honor, reputation, and unique rewards earned from participating in Wintergrasp make it a fantastic place for current players to improve their character's abilities.

Pets

For pets, they're far more valuable than most people realize, especially in certain matchups where they can be a primary kill target.

If you kill a Mage's Water Elemental, it will become harder to kite and control because of the reduced Fingers of Frost procs, and its damage will be significantly reduced.

A Warlock's pet is also incredibly important and must be killed. Successfully sniping their companions means you won't be stuck with annoying Soul Links. While Soul Link is active, 20% of all damage taken by Warlock is redirected to their active demon pet. By distributing incoming damage this way, Warlocks' survivability is significantly increased, making them more resilient targets, especially in PvP scenarios.

For Hunters, killing their pets isn't as crucial, but it can prevent them from using Roar of Sacrifice, which prevents your critical hits from being invalidated. This is a significant cooldown, especially in groups.

In contrast, it's worth killing a Death Knight's Ghoul pet, as it prevents them from using Dark Transformation, which gives their pet more damage and control.

Speaking of pets, if you're playing a Hunter, Mage, Warlock, or even a DK, you should be aware of PetMoveTo command, which allows you to fine-tune your pet's movement around the map.

As a bonus, if you need your pet to return to you, this command can also allow it to move faster than manually.

Gems

If you really want to quickly overwhelm your opponents in PvP, then you must pay attention to your gem slot selection.

Destructive Primal Diamond, in particular, offers a 1% chance to reflect spells, making it your best meta-gem against most teams. It might not seem like much, but reflecting crowd control skills at the right time can be a game-changer.

You can even reflect damaging skills, including some you might not expect, like Soul Reaper. It's important to note that Warriors can also reflect Soul Reaper, a neat trick for preventing yourself from getting executed.

Snapshotting

Finally, no matter what class you play, if you want to maximize your PvP skill rotation, there's a very important mechanic to understand: Snapshotting.

If you're a longtime Retail WoW player, you might be accustomed to your DoT automatically updating its damage or healing based on your buffs. This means that if you gain any damage bonuses, your DoT's damage increases immediately, and then decreases again once the buff wears off.

This isn't the case in MoP Classic WoW. In this expansion, the damage or healing dealt by any spell is affected only by buffs on your character or debuffs on enemies. When a spell leaves your hand, just like a photo, the damage or healing amount is snapshotted.

Therefore, if you're playing a DoT class, especially an Affliction Warlock, you can maximize your DPS by snapshotting.

However, to ensure balance, this isn't true for every class. As we all know, Frost Mages can instantly unleash Shatter effects with their Living Bomb. If they snapshot this ability while targeting Nova, each tick has a high critical chance. This ridiculous damage output can almost instantly change the game, which is not a good thing.

In short, to gain an advantage in PvP combat, in addition to improving your own strength, choosing the right skills and mechanics is equally important. Remember, if you're new to WoW MoP Classic, don't use your experience from ten years ago to measure everything. This will lead you into misunderstandings and further delays.

As you explore MoP Classic map, learning the game's zones or farming resources, you can earn reputation with a faction by completing specific tasks while passing through zones associated with that faction, earning reputation rewards.

Each faction earns reputation differently. Some require you to complete a series of combat missions, others require you to complete specific objectives in a management-style mini-game, and still others simply require you to listen to a story - like The Lorewalkers Reputation.

Luckily, despite the differences in how they work, reaching a specific reputation level with each faction will reward you with items. Even if you don‘t need these items, selling them can still earn you extra WoW MoP Classic gold.

So, how do you earn The Lorewalkers Reputation, and what rewards can it earn you? We'll explain.

What Is The Lorewalkers?

As one of Mists of Pandaria Classic factions, The Lorewalkers, led by Pandaren Song, are dedicated to spreading the teachings and stories of rebel leader Kang through their travels throughout Pandaria.

Over time, more scholars joined to help spread the story and safeguard the historical artifacts of Lorevault, ultimately making The Lorewalkers a fully structured faction.

Unlike other factions, The Lorewalkers do not enhance your power in any way. Instead, they require you to earn reputation through story listening to progress the entire MoP Classic storyline. It can also improve your archaeology efficiency and offer a new mount as a reputation reward.

How To Earn The Lorewalker Reputation Points?

The Lorewalkers reputation system is unique in the game: there's no combat or labor involved; instead, you simply travel across Pandaria and interact with specific monuments.

Each monument will help you complete an achievement, and after completing each achievement, you'll receive a scroll. Deliver it to Lorewalker Cho at Seat of Knowledge and listen to the story associated with the achievement to gain reputation.

To earn enough reputation points to reach Exalted rank, you must interact with all monuments and return all scrolls. Since this process requires you to constantly travel between zones, having a reliable mount will save time and effort.
