After playing 5 priests to lvl 63, I decided to try out the tournament realm and rolled 5 tauren elemental shaman. Wow. I'm completely torn now cause all I wanna play are shaman and have the distinct feeling I'm gonna be starting over again on live soon. :/
Tried 5 priests as well on the tourney server - they do ok, but no where as ridiculous as the shaman are. I do have 5 locks in the 20s already...maybe I'll have to give that a shot. ;)

hehe, I had the same!
I leveled 4 warlocks and 1 priest to 63, and then leveled 4 shammies to catch up with my level 70 pally and now all I want to do it play my shammies. (they are 56)
I did something similiar. I originally rolled a "PVE" team priest, lock, mage, mage, warrior and got them to 56. I decided that PVE was pretty boring, and tried out 5-Shamans. I'm now at 62 with those guys. :D
I started out with a team of one paladin and three shadow priests. After I started my five shamans group, I realized that I hadn't been doing much damage (if any, compared) with the other group. I then gave four warlocks and a priest a shot and.. put simply.. DoTs are nice, but I love the elemental burst damage too much.
Well the only thing I'm concerned about for arenas are people just LOS kiting a shaman. I've run into it a few times on the tourney server...SL/SL locks just popping out dropping dots and running around pillars. If I were to go with the 5 lock setup - this obviously wouldn't be a problem. Thoughts?

Shaman's are fun in the BGs until 2 mages catch wind of what's going on and decide to tag team your entire squad to death in 5 seconds repeatedly :p
How exactly do u use the Tournament servers ect ?
I've run into this a few times already and learned pretty quickly how to deal with it. They'll usually blink in and run around your group like lunatics spamming AE - I save NS/EM/CL for them to jump in. Drop a earthbind totem, 5x nova totems and unload. If they happen to iceblock the totems, I warstomp when iceblock is down and drop another 5xnovas. Get groundings out and spam your chain heal macro while they're immune.Quote:

Log into your account(s) via the standard blizzard account admin system @ www.worldofwarcraft.com. There's a link to sign up for the tournament. It's $20 per account, but that enters you into the regional 3v3 tournament - eventually scaling up to a worldwide 3v3 playoff worth $75,000 to the winning team. You can create up to 3 toons per account - they start at lvl 70. There are vendors at all of the starting areas stocked full of S2/PVE gear, gems, enchants, trinkets, etc. Unlimited gold and resources available. It's a great way to play with combos or just classes that you've wanted to try out "pre-equipped" with full arena gear.Quote:

Edit : There are NO PVE entities at all on these servers. No mobs, guards, vendors (other than the tourney specific ones). The _only_ thing you can do is duel others or do arenas - all brackets of skirmish and rated, however only 3v3 counts towards the tourney.
