I nearly killed someone today in arena.
Nearly.
Keep on loosing. Somewhere below 1200, I started hitting teams that cared as little as I did They account for the 2 in my 2-28 record.
If you play prime-time, on the first day after maintenance or the last day until maintenance, you get a ton of teams wanting to get their games in.
Assuming you don't remake your team, to start at 1500 again, you'll eventually rise or fall to your true rating.
At that point, teams will be about as good as you are, and the matches should be close.
If you play at any other time, there won't be enough teams on at once, and you'll be matched against the closest rated team, which might be significantly different rating from your team.
In the end, for most of us, its just about getting the points.
Be sure to play every week, even if you just queue and don't join. The points will add up.
Down the road, your gear improves and you'll need to worry about whatever rating, to spend your points but that's later, not now.
Yea Im not going to waste any points on savage gear right now, I will wait til next season when they downgrade hateful to no arena rating. I dunno why but I have a terrible time paying honor and arena points for something that is "blue". Silly I know.
Hmm. That doesn't sound so encouraging, but weel. I am just on my way to 80 so nothing to worry there for now. Anyways... still looking forward to coming out of Invis, 3xPyros, 3xMirror Image and all those fun things. :) We'll see.
ok that does sound fun =)
Well me and my priest actually had fun in the arena this week, and even thought the meele teams took us down fast we can see the potential.
We faced teams that had NO chance against us and wow that was fun.
2 disc priests,demon lock,frost mage, resto druid:
We could kill the mage with LBOLT+Chain Lightning quite easy and even with 3x fears over and over my priest managed to keep it up. (to brain dead to kill my tremors i guess)
1 disc priest,demon lock,frost mage,resto druid, feral druid:
Same team but changed a disc priest with a feral druid abit harder since the druid who had realy good gear went straight for my priest and with a lucky combo could kill him, they are realy hard to burst down with 30k hp when they run around you all the time. Skilled team at losing aswell wich made it hard since i havent started using focus yet this seson.
Warrior,ench shaman,ret paladin, DK and a resto druid:
First match my priest went down fast but i should have been able to keep him up, main problem now is the lack of gear and resillience, Second match everything went better and even thought we lost things is not impossible with a well placed divine hymn wich is our main tool atm.
2 mages,feral druid,resto shaman and a holy priest:
Well geared pve freaks and the mages+druid took my priest from 100% to 0% in basicly one hit, hard but rare and i have my doubt they get much higher then the rating im at atm. Groundings should do the job but i have to be sure they are upp on all times. Went fine one match but suddenly i found 2 of my slaves under the brigde in blades edge due to blast wave knockback.
ret paladin, DK, bm hunter,disc priest,mage:
High ranked but i was a second late on healing my priest wich i actually should have managed and the mage was already down, paladin bubble was out and it pretty much was a secure win since we survived the burst.
All teams were in the 1650-1800 rating range so theese aint noch top teams.
My main problems still is.
Ret paladins in bubble hurt like hell, next time its fixed since all damage in bubble will be reduced with 50%.
Unholy dks still got boneshield,anti magic and anti magic zone + glyphed death and decay wich causes "cover in fear". Next patch boneshield gets toned down, anti magic zone time goes from 30 seconds to 10 and the glyph wich causes "cower in fear" is changed to do more damage instead.
BM hunters damage output is insane and 1 hunter alone can force my priest to spam heal himself making me an open target.
Arcane mages still have crazy burst but are fragile and alot of the damage can be eaten by well placed groundings and a fast purge. Shocking them and trowing a lava burst either forces them to iceblock or die, my priest is skilled with mass dispell so now they have to be realy carefull since a LVB/LB, chain lighning + shock kills them.
Mutilate rogues and the sick damage output, also fragile so i havent realy seen manny in 5vs5 yet. From what ive heard the damage output will get nerfed due to high pve damage and im hoping on a removal of coldblood from prep.
