A continuing feature highlighting arena specific World of Warcraft mods.
When it comes to competing in arena, there are many tools out there that can enhance a players ability to win the match. Almost all World of Warcraft players are at least familiar with what mods are, and most would recommend that it is smart to use them to ones advantage. There are thousands of mods out there designed for different aspects of the game, ranging from simple user interface changes or bar mods, to those that assist you on healing or crowd control.
With this continuing feature, GotFrag plans to highlight useful mods for arena game play in World of Warcraft. These mods will range from more popular ones to some that the majority may not know about, but could use to their advantage.
The first mod we would like to highlight this week is Gladius. This mod is very similar to other mods such as Proximo or Arena Master, but I have found it to be the most efficient of them all.
Gladius is a mod which helps to target each opponent in the current match, highlighting their class and life/mana/rage/energy pools. Gladius can also be set to show casts from the opponents, along with a large picture showing which CC is currently on which target. You also will have the option to make click macros, where different mouse button clicks while hovered over the bar will do what you tell it to, such as setting that target to a focus target.
Another great feature with Gladius is the ability to call out trinket use and low player health in party chat, making it a lot easier to notice such occasions. Below are a few slash commands for the mod listed at wow.curse.com.
Slash Commands:
/gladius ui, config, options - displays the configuration screen
/gladius test1-5 - shows a test frame with the chosen amount of test units
/gladius hide - hides the test frame
/gladius trinket - simulates a trinket being used for the first arena target
An arena mod is very crucial for arena play, and it will enhance anyone’s game play in arena because you can use it to click a target that might be out of sight or out of range. Not all official competitions allow such a mod but they are very helpful and if you are looking for one that works well, be sure to try out Gladius.
