What you're looking at here is a series of macros tied to buttons which, when pressed, report information into battleground chat. But, when you find yourself in a battleground such as Eye of the Storm, or Arathi Basin, it will bring up a simple little window which looks roughly like this. It's clever enough not to activate when you're in a battleground like warsong gulch or twin peaks, where you don't need to defend bases. It's like Gladius for battlegrounds!īG Defender, as the name suggests, is an addon which is used when you're defending a battleground. It displays pretty much everything you'd want it to display about the opposing team - classes, roles, whether they're holding a flag or an orb, whether they're your target or your focus, whether they're in a guild group, what their realm is, and so on.
You'll see that, as I've mentioned, I haven't got it running for 40vs40. Do note the tabs across the top, which are how the different group sizes are set up. I mainly heal in battlegrounds, so the above is how I have it. You can see a few of the settings above, the best way to set this up is to install the addon, then get things set as you want to. It's a bit of a pain to set up, not having the most intuitive configuration menu, but it's worth the hassle. It's the addon you can see in the header, and it's fantastically useful for random battlegrounds, and almost obligatory for rated battlegrounds. Moving on to a slightly less simple addon, let's talk about BattlegroundTargets. Especially if there's two of you defending the flag or base, it's a boon. Simple as that! It's also very handy in rated battlegrounds, saves the use of the chat channel to announce such things, and allows your team to make a decision on whether to leave you as rogue-bait, or to stay and fight. SaySapped is a great little addon that does exactly what it says on the tin - it makes your character say "Sapped".
When there's a rogue in your midst, particularly in random battlegrounds, and you're going about your merry way with a couple of cohorts nearby, they may not notice when you're suddenly sapped. I've got a lot of addons to talk to you about today. Now that that's out of the way, let's get started. I am also on a couple of rated battleground teams, and do random battlegrounds to gear up my characters, but not once they're geared beyond honor gear, thanks to the changes to the conquest point cap. For clarity, I should state that the majority of PvP I do is in the arena. So, naturally, I had to eventually write a column about the addons I use for PvP. I'm the PvP columnist, and now the addon columnist, too.
