Legendary Cloak Questline: The PvP Portion

posted 2014/06/16 at 7:53 PM by oliviadgrace

Legendary Cloak PvP - Battleground GuideThe most controversial part of the Legendary Cloak quest line is undoubtedly the PvP section, specifically The Lion Roars or Glory to the Horde for Horde players. Many players hate it, wish it didn't exist, and many even give up. So, Wowhead wanted to put together a short guide to getting through the PvP portion of the quest line as painlessly as possible. We're not going to go into huge depth with Rated Battleground level tactics, instead this is a survival guide to help with the basics of these two battlegrounds. Do check out our full Legendary Cloak Guide for more information.

If you have the resources to do so, getting together nine other players to exchange wins in these battlegrounds in 5v5 Wargames can be an easy way out of participating in Random Battlegrounds.Temple of KotmoguOrb of PowerGeneral Strategy

Pick up orbs whenever they are not being held. While this is not necessarily the best strategy in rated battlegrounds, it almost always is in the random versions. Every tick someone from your team is holding an orb is a tick the opposition is not holding it. Ideally, you'll only drop orbs when there's someone by the relevant orb stands to collect them, but don't worry too much.

Kill the players holding the orbs. When orbs are dropped they will go back to their original spawn points, as indicated on the map, so if an orb holder is about to die, get to the spawn point to pick up the orb.

Defend your orb holders. While you're basically fighting a losing battle, you might be able to allow your orb holder to get a few more points, and every tick they're holding an orb for is a tick that the enemy isn't holding it.

Don't worry too much about being in the middle with orbs. Yes, that is the optimal place to earn points. However, you'll earn almost as many in the 4-point area indicated above, and it's a much easier area to defend in. There are pillars to hide behind, and you're closer to where your team-mates will respawn when they die.

If you're under attack, fight back. The Orb of Power debuff increases your damage done substantially at high stacks. You can do some serious damage to your attackers even in low gear.

Silvershard MinesGeneral Strategy

Fight in the circles. If you're not fighting in the circles, you are not contributing to the capture of a cart. You should be!

Keep your opponents out of the circles as much as possible. As we've just learned, if you're not in a circle, you're not contributing to the capture of a cart. If you have roots, snares, knockbacks or similar, use them to keep your opponents out.

Abandon carts where you are overwhelmed. While it's difficult to get people to do this sometimes, and keeping your opponents tied up in a team fight can be very handy for capturing all the carts you're not fighting over, if you're outnumbered and losing fast, you're better off to shift your focus to another cart where the odds are more in your favor.

Ignore the crossroads. The crossroads are interesting strategical aspects of the battleground, but as a relative beginner, you're probably best advised to leave them alone unless you're told to change them. They send the cart off on a different path, indicated by the arrow, and are changed by completing a 6.5-second capture spell. Taking damage will break the channel and you'll have to start again.

We hope these guides have somewhat demystified the two battlegrounds required for the Legendary cloak, and do check out our full Legendary Cloak Guide for more information.

Comment by lllFizzy Put this in the guides section! Comment by HavenCeles In future quest chains involving PvP, they should make it a decision between PvE and PvP just like the Isle of Thunder dailies. I have like 5 alts on this quest, but I ain't bothering since they are just alts and I'm taking a break now anyway. Luckily my main is a tank so it felt less nerve-breaking since I had better survival.

It's not the quest itself, but more about making you look like a fool and getting hated on. I get embarrassed if I do mistakes in front of other players and I don't know PvP very well so the whole process is very nerve-racking to me.

Hell, I even feel sorry for the PvP players who have to play with mindless PvE players in those BGs. A lose-lose for both parties, so to speak.Comment by WarPaw All here what has been said is nice and good, but nobody has mentioned where are these BGs and/or how to reach them. As one of PVE player, I don't have a clue about PVP things, so I'll be very happy if someone will be so kind to explain that part. Thank you in advance... Comment by Dauthus Just a quick mention for those who haven't played the mines very often. If you want to win, control the cart that goes to the lava pit. It has the shortest distance and the quickest travel time. I don't know how many times this has been lost by players who want to take all the other carts, only to lose because the other team stayed on the lava cart just gained the points faster.

I don't know the numbers, but having ran 3 toons through the legendary cloak line, and having 4 more going through it, I have seen this happen a bunch. If you will notice, any good team will take this cart from the beginning and keep it the entire round only venturing out if they are unopposed. Comment by Duckets In my honest opinion, this is by far, BY FAR, the WORST aspect of the legendary cloak line... I'd rather eat nails, while being dragged through hot coals, all with diapers full of ^&*!, encompassed in hair, burn beside me. If people want to PVP and get a legendary, make a PVP specific legendary. I understand everyone else's thoughts, but realistically, on my server this could take weeks (longer than the Valor grind), and you cannot do them both at the same time. It wouldn't matter if you had the entire Marvel Avengers on your side with Chuck Norris healing would you win when 1-3 people AFK almost every single time, its impossible. And how does Blizzard correct it, "Flag as away," please.... I gave up on two other characters, that's how bad this quest is. The least they could do is make it a world PVP event (more than one). Comment by Shundroth Guys. Seriously. You have to win 2 BGs. Yet you still complain? :c All those guides really make no change. All that's required is a common sense. Get orbs, get mine carts, defend them, etc. Not that sophisticated, really. Can't believe people exaggerate about such things and so much.
