When you start playing a new game or mode, it's sometimes hard to know which item, ability, or weapon is the best to focus on and win more often. This is the case with the Plunderstrom mode in World of Warcraft. Since the basis of the game is PvP combat using various abilities that the player acquires during the game, you can ask yourself: what are the best skins in World of Warcraft Plunderstorm?

From time to time, the game receives updates that balance the gameplay, making it fairer between players, and so that some skins are not more powerful than others. Nevertheless, many abilities are currently quite powerful, particularly in the right hands. And they will be relevant in the future, even if the developers decide to weaken them. All the abilities that you will find during the game are random, which means that you cannot calculate and determine in advance what good skill you will find. However, you can always adapt, and to do so, you need to know which skills are useful and in which situations.

The best Plunderstrom attack abilities 

Attack abilities are skills that allow a player to be aggressive towards other players and mobs, dealing large amounts of instant or gradual damage. Having such skills can ensure that you can clear mobs faster and thus gain more experience in a shorter amount of time. Additionally, attack skins can help a player to be more confident in PvP. 

Fire Whirl

Fire Whirl is currently considered the best ability in this category. Activating this skill envelops you in fire, which deals a lot of AoE damage and increases your movement speed by 70%. Under the influence of the fire whirl, you can control the mouse to easily move toward enemies, dealing them damage, including periodic damage. Thus, this ability is not only powerful but also quite convenient, since it does not require you to aim at enemies who can dodge it. Of course, it has disadvantages in the form of a small range, so it can be dangerous to engage in melee without auxiliary skills. It can also be nerfed by some other enemy skins, such as Repel and Faeform.

Holy Shield

Holy Shield can deal a lot of damage to enemies at medium range. However, this skill is quite difficult to use, or rather to implement optimally for the greatest benefit. By launching the shield at the enemy, you can damage him twice. When the shield flies towards the enemy and when it returns. In addition, by pressing the ability button again while it is in effect, you can trigger an explosion that will deal an additional third hit. The short recovery time and fast activation time make this ability very good, but you need to practice a lot to get the most out of it.

Searing Axe

This ability is especially useful in the early stages of the game. Considering that the main source of damage usually comes from melee through the main attack button, this skill is ideal for such scenarios. The short cooldown combined with a small knockback effect to create the necessary distance makes it very effective. In addition, its formidable strike enhances its usefulness, especially when facing clusters of enemies, contributing to the accumulation of experience points and loot with great efficiency.

Rime Arrow

Rime Arrow does not have a very strong offensive ability. It's only good as a support ability that allows you to instantly damage an enemy at medium range, thus finishing them off if they have a low health threshold or preventing them from regaining health. On the plus side, the ability has a fairly low recovery time of only 10 seconds, and it's easy to aim without missing. Mobile abilities such as Quaking Leap and Faeform are good matches for Rime Arrow.

Storm Archon

Storm Archon's elemental ability is good because you can use it twice and deal a lot of damage if you hit with all three hits of the charge. However, it's quite difficult to do so, as you become slow during the third attack, making it easier for the enemy to dodge the projectile. The elemental strike takes place in a straight, almost cone-shaped line, which allows you to both farm mobs in front and hit the enemy in the area of effect. The ability has a fairly long recovery time, but if you can improve it to level 4, things will be a little better.

The best Utility abilities for Plunderstrom 

Utility abilities are skills that, due to their practicality, help a player avoid a dangerous situation. They can seed, initiate an attack by shortening the distance or stunning the player, or avoid or dismiss some damage and negative effects.

Fade to Shadow

Fade to Shadow can be considered one of the best auxiliary saving abilities. It allows you to instantly escape during a dangerous duel situation or when you just want to avoid PvP. This skill teleports you in the direction you are looking and then makes you invisible for a short time. This way, you can hide from an enemy hero and regain health thanks to beer, or dodge most targeted abilities.

Faeform

Although Faeform does not grant you instant teleportation like Fade to Shadow, it is also a very good ability that allows you to slip out of most dangerous situations. Mythic Form turns you into an incorporeal entity that gives you extra movement speed and immunity to most negative effects. And most importantly, under the influence of this ability, all damage you take is reduced by 90%. However, in this form, you cannot attack and the duration of the effect is not very long, only 3 seconds.

Windstorm

A great ability to interrupt your opponent's ability and stun them for 2.5 seconds. It is very effective against Fire Whirl. Therefore, if you see an enemy player trying to envelop you in flames, cast Windstorm to get away to a safe distance. In addition, this skill is very good for initiating a PvP battle. After stunning the enemy, you can use the ability to shorten the distance and deal damage to the player using your normal attacks or skills.

Lightning Bulwark і Repel

Each skill does an excellent job of creating a protective barrier that can withstand the attacks of an approaching enemy. When facing the formidable threat of Fire Whirl, Repel is the best choice due to its duration and the bonus of silencing your opponents. However, Lightning Bulwark remains a formidable opponent, capable of quickly stopping the effects of multiple attacks, as well as granting favorable buffs after an interruption, offering a potential strategic advantage.
