Nice job. Reminds me of a 4x mage 1x warrior team I ran into back during season 1. Mages all would invis, then assist the warrior. 2 were AP/frost, 2 were 41 frost, was 5 different people playing the toons, still it was some disgusting burst damage. As a warrior I still shudder when I think of that team, frost nova's everywhere...

I'm really curious to see how I do with a 3x 41-frost mage team once I hit 70, I'm sure it's a pretty tough learning curve but you have the best focus fire possible really.

No it would be OP

Great Video. Different selection of music but good.

@Fur: I don't bother dropping fire totems initially as I generally end up using Nova totems during the fight. Nope, can't use elementals in arena.

@Diamnd: Yeah, I wanted to use that song in something. It's one of my recent favorites for some reason. Figured I'd use it in a less important video.

Ty everyone for replies and thoughts.

nice video!

i did also think of the totem thingy since tremor and grounding totems are wery nice ones in pvp!

i use cast sequence macros on all chars (not 70 yet) 4 shamans...

and since tremor is a 5 second pulse i cast it in each cast on one char IE

char 1 cast tremor 1st press 2nd in the 2nd press etc just to get it to pulse as often as possible.
im not sure if this works as i think (confirm?) but i hope so since it would be wery imba.

also i think you blow your EM NS a bit too fast ,maybe to the better i dont know but its just a feeling i got that you blow it all wery fast (might be good too)

wery nice vid tho!

and i would also thank you and ellay for making me spend 1200 eur and an additional 3 acc monthly for the boxing <3 8)

Nice video. I guarantee that first guy in BE had a lot to say to his teammates after he came around that pillar and got 4xCL to the face lol.

I'd suggest getting an arena frames mod like Proximo or similar. I noticed one of your guys shooting off an errant lightning bolt here and there and you spending a lot of time acquiring your targets. The way those mods work is that any enemy you or your partner mouses over get added to the frame making it easier to acquire targets and see the team makeup quickly.

Yup, staggering tremor totems is quite effective. You'll notice how quickly I pop out of fear in the video. You make a good point about the EMCL. I am probably going to change the way I use it. Maybe LB -> NS EMCL -> Shock? I doubt anything could survive that without an Iceblock or Divine Shield.

I don't think a mod would solve the targeting issue, as it wouldn't be any faster than /assist, but it sounds mighty handy for checking out the opposing team. I believe the Priest I was with used it. He kept telling me their gear and arena rating on vent.
You are definitely right, I need to be more efficient with my targeting.

very nice video mate, i can see why shaman are becomming so popular now they really are very powerful. I thaught when i saw your group feared by that warlock running in that it was game over for you but tremor totem kicked in and probably made that warlock cry irl.

looks good mate would love to give shaman a try but going to stay faithful to my 5 druid team for now, theres always been alot of discussion about could balance druids be comparable to shaman in arena, and i really want to give it ago and find out for myself.

loved how you ran across and got that guy after he had cleared about 10 yards after the gates had opened priceless. i would love to see a video from the healers pov as well becuase it never looked like he did much either the dps wasnt focus'd enough to give him much of a hard time healing or the teams were just steamrolled and didnt get it together fast enough.

looking forward to seeing more, would also like to see someone do a full 5 man arena come on remote you can do it with that last shaman.

Remote did a video of this before if I recall correctly. He just reran SLabs for one whole weekend, up to the 1st boss then reset, rinse and repeat.

2) The insta-chain lightning put a HUGE grin on my face. 5 more levels to go!
Alot of people use this sort of stuff at the start of fights and remote you do aswell. When multiboxing its not as bad but in 2v2,3v3 using burst damage at the start is a waste unless your fighting an all dps team without a healer. Use it at 50% and watch the healer really struggle. But on the other hand multiboxing gives away with all normal strategy.

I'm loving the steady stream of lightning bolts laying waste to their attempts to heal :D
