Not sure this is representative of actual 1900+ rated matches as it was just a skirmish fight. But most all of the fights I have had follow this same basic format.

Under 25 seconds from the opening of the doors to winning. And everybody is wearing tier 6.

I guess hit points were not raised as much as I thought......

Shock and awe. You just aren't playing how they expect a 5man arena team to play. :)

Good thing they can't see who I am until the game starts :)

I liken it to Sligh if any of you have played MTG....

Hit them hard and keep hitting until you win.

It is especially useful against teams who clump next to pillars to "scope out" the team. I just come running at them on epic mounts and hit them light a freight train.

Omg a joy for the eye, looking good there ;). When are you going for rated matches?

(btw if you saw t6 there can be a great difference vs pvp gear, sometimes almost 5k to 7k hp differenses)

On the PTR pre-made toons load with all versions of t6 and t5 in their bags, as well as all versions of Arena S1 gear, plus PvE & PvP necks/rings/trinkets etc etc. Chances are Xzin will have come up against a variety of gear/specs etc. You also get tons of gems, but no enchants obviously :)

ptr doh, never realised, thought it was on a regular server trying stuff out

Hmm, I've been shying away from multiboxing lately because of realizations that the arenas are too intense to compete in against a set high rated team. But, from the looks of this video, even if the team was random pugs on the ptr, it looks as if one could compete as a 1900+ team. The element of surprise and amazing burst really gives a huge advantage. Teams never know who they face...and with that surprise and burst...there really is no chance to react. Even if they managed to spread out well enough...they'd be down a teammate or two instantly, giving the edge to the xzin squad :)

Tempting...very tempting...
