2v2 or 5v5 arenas

[sethlan]

I don't have time anymore to play 10 or 20 accounts, always enjoyed arena's. Thinking about arenas 2v2 or 5v5.
Which team do you think would do best burst in arena. I really don't care about high rating that much.

I'm thinking 2 - Hunters for 2v2 or 5 Hunters for 5v5. not sure which spec. survival?

Maybe 5 ench shamans?

I have dks, shamans and hunters.

Out of those, I would say MM spec Hunter is your best bet in 5s. Insta-gib someone from stealth, then try to win the 4v5. Enhancement shammies lost a significant amount of burst this expansion, although their damage isn't exactly bad as far as I can tell.

As far as ladders go (atleast on EU), 5s is quite bad since there are simply no casual players. All I've ever qued in to is teams with viable 2-healer comps and full gear, with above 1800 MMR. It would appear that the only reason anyone plays the ladder anymore is to push for the 2.2k achievement required for Arena Master. 3s is a bit better, and 2s is by far the easiest to get wins in. Or atleast it was when trying to cap conquest.

Out of what you have available I'd run frost dk/enhance for 2s. The off-healing abilities from an enhance are excellent, and a dk is fairly tanky/has decent self heals as well. And you are going to be able to kill most good comps in 2s, except for maybe mage/rogue.

ok, i'm going to test 2 hunters 5 hunters, dk with enh shammy, thanks for the input. :D

in 2's enh shammy work fine.

In 5's enh shammy don't work very well even and low MMR i do really bad. a half ok grp can kill you in a CC. I could not get hunters to work in 5's i found even MM will not one-shot a player this xpac. this is honor gear with a conquest weps.

holy pally and 4 Deathkights do really well again in 5's

what about 2 MM for 2s?

what about 2 MM for 2s?

I'd try 2 beast masters first since I doubt that double MM can open on someone and get them into kill shot range right away. I can be wrong of course. But double pets deal so much damage while you kite away or go line of sight that in theory that sounds way more viable to me.

I'm very lazy at gearing this season, but I'm about to get warrior+3 enhance ready for 5s, with pally healer most likley, and I tell you that comp will shit on everything

unlike in mop mages now die in less then 10 seconds since I can remove iceblock, the pressure that team applies to cloth targets with mortal strike is just beyond retarded
