    Default Warborne's PvP Build - 1.8

    With the downfall of the reaver Hybrid, comes the rebirth of a classic variant. While many were in "awe" of the Ragestorm specs... Most overlooked the true powerhouse of the VK spec, Tempest.

    Behold....

    32RB, 26VK, 8PL

    #show Thunder Strike
    suppressmacrofailures
    cast Aggressive Block
    cast Ragestorm
    cast Tempest
    cast Thunder Strike
    cast Discharge
    cast Retaliation
    cast Stoneshield

    I'm sure there is a better ST macro out there... but who cares. There's spears and **** you can use too...
    AoE junk with rift storm. You can rift walk... rift summon... its good times.


    So yea....

    I've been running a similar 40rb 26vk build since 1.7 for when I want crazy high damage numbers on the score board. Typically find having Rift Strike for the extra crit to be nice, and now with 1.8, the extra points in dps tend to do more for me than ToL.

    craploads of rift summons are hilarious, however.

    Default Target in a macro?

    Speaking of the riftwalk and summons, could i build a macro while waiting for the wf to load that would let me target, by name, mana users and riftwalk at them?

    How does this spec do against melee classes? i see it has some useful utilities but is the burst sufficient to take down targets or does it tend to be a drawn out fight?. Currently run a 51rb/12pally/3chmp spec which is decent but not great burst. Any advice on macros for this spec please?

    Warriors are never even an issue. Can take down 2-3 warriors at once, without issue. 4 is the breaking point I've found. Rogues, depends on the rogue. Some give me trouble 1v1, others melt. I don't know how or why, but rogues are really hit or miss. Basically anything thats melee will die to this spec quickly. Any cleric that comes at you in melee is just plain ****ed against this spec. Silence them, then put up spellbreaker when the silence fades for immunity to prevent Sanction Heretic (prevents convictions), gives you a solid 7-8 seconds where they arent able to heal. Usually enough to burn them.

    I'm also p40 and use the spec for everything. So experiences may vary. The spec is second nature to me at this point. I don't think I've used another spec, at all, for any reason, since the day 1.8 dropped.

    Default Macros

    I'm extremely lazy, so I don't use any of these macros (also, my macro list is full. Until I sort through it and make room, I use the macro listed in the OP) However, I will post what macros I would use, if I were trying to get the most out of this spec.

    ST Builder:
    #show Searing Strike
    suppressmacrofailures
    cast Aggressive Block
    cast Frost Strike
    cast Searing Strike
    cast Retaliation
    cast Stoneshield
    cast Stonespear
    cast Discharge
    cast Flamespear
    cast Riftwalk
    cast Break Free

    AoE Builder:
    #show Thunder Strike
    suppressmacrofailures
    cast Aggressive Block
    cast Tempest
    cast Ragestorm
    cast Thunder Strike
    cast Retaliation
    cast Stoneshield
    cast Stonespear
    cast Discharge
    cast Flamespear
    cast Riftwalk
    cast Break Free

    Finisher:
    #show Fiery Burst
    suppressmacrofailures
    cast Earth Burst
    cast Storm Burst
    cast Fiery Burst
    cast Icy Burst

    That's pretty much it... everything else is situational and not macro'd. Finisher macro is set up for a reason. Whether you use 1 or 3 pt finisher, pop that before you rift summon, will hit 3 people around with earth burst snare. This gives you a lil extra time alone with your new friend. Rift summoning adds an AP,don't be afraid to use it. It refreshes on crit. Use spark to generate an AP, OGCD. Usually save this for right before or right after using rift storm, to minimize the downtime of Enhanced Burst.

    Also, I don't bother with ST attacks in any of the PvP spec's I've used. I prefer to lay down AoE dmg at all times. Never know when you're going to pop a rogue out of stealth, or finish off someone nearby. Besides, tempest and ragestorm are your bread and butter in this spec.

    Built a spec based on this yesterday and started playing around with it, very fun. Being VK it has some other fun toys like a good amount of mana-trolls for those clerics, and a purge that drops 3 buffs at range.

    Build I'm using: http://rift.zam.com/en/stc.html?t=1c...zsMRzsM.xbo.-6

    Made this macro also:

    #show Soul Pillage
    suppressmacrofailures
    cast Soul Pillage
    cast Devouring Blow
    cast Catalyze

    (catalyze doesnt work if used on a non-mana user so I put it at the end for use at range)

    5/5 elemental flux is pretty win for planar blade unless I'm missing something (especially since I am in pretty crappy gear)

    Odd. I actively burn down Ragestorm warriors. Hope to see some people run this to play around.

    I record most of my PvP... I have a 4v1 somewhere with 2 Krakenspine warriors and 2 RBs. There was only one RB left up after. 51 champ doesn't stand a chance... 51RB, is usually a good match, but a RB with 8-9k and slightly higher dmg, vs me with 12-13k hp higher mitigation and only slightly lower dmg >.> Not to mention Heal on block items

    Yea I suppose I could see that, when you account for the TOL. I've taken down a few RB/RVs at one time. After 2 it gets hairy with no incoming heals outside of blood thirsty.l

    I get a little giddy when I purge BOEA
