What it does

Checks whether the PvP status of the zone you are in, such as sanctuary, contested or arena, is the one you choose.

Why you might use it

Checks the PvP status of the area you are in: an arena, a battleground-style combat zone, a sanctuary, or territory that is friendly, hostile or contested. It is a switch condition only, so use it to choose a PvP rotation in battlegrounds and arenas, or a more defensive one in hostile territory. See also PVP Flagged and Instance.

Example

the zone's PVP status is Combat (auto-flagged)
