Arena points have been nerfed

Im gonna do some arena this weekend with my hunter team, either with 1 healer or 5 hunters. Will report back how it went, and how long it took to cap conquest points :)

I did about 20 games last night after re-doing stuff with my dks and basically just mashing howling blast with inefficient healing methods.

I went 12-10 and got to around 1200 (from zero) que times were 3 minuets or so... capped conquest in like 8 wins.

I had a few arenas end immediately, the same loading screen as if you typed /AFK while in a battleground.

Once just me (with partner A), once just my partner (different one) reported that happening to him, and once both myself and my partner (third guy); each time our team was credited the losing the match... either through being killed 2v1 or both of us being ported out to the safe point.
Also, fought a couple of 2v2's where one guy stood there and did nothing at all; and once their active ally was dead, we won although only one kill was registered.

Might be a new bug with arena.




Will definitely try the 5's next week.

The team had around 2k res.
Crap weaponry.
And a lack of any of the refinements suggested in my... "Help me with Arena" thread.

They now have 2.6k res.
Conquest 2-Handers.
And a lot of 2v2 experience.

Could also try to find the services of a strong healer, and then run mine in 2's.
That would be four toons getting points together.

Will see how it goes.

Yet another reason not to do Arenas. I still much prefer random BGs over anything. The randomness of the quality of the team you are paired with and opposing makes the outcome never quite known.

If you not playing Eots as a DK boxer, got pritty much 100% winrate for the last games there this weekend. Totaly carrying my team.

Blizzard trying to make arena and BGs work....

I won 29 out of 32 EOTS this weekend. Most wins were 4 caps

I think now is the time to play 1 pally + x4 Frost Dks.

The buffs in 4.1 made this quite deadly. I personally have seen my DPS increase from 10K to 15K on the dummies.


My team has 3.3K resilience and I found a decent Holy Paladin to group with. We won 5 matches in a row, then lost a couple to a full vicious team, then won 3 more to cap us for the week.

With the Holy Paladin, the wins came very easy. Teams I could not beat before I steam rolled. I grinded my way to 1500 and I can easily see past 1600 now.

Currently sitting at 1650+ with a steady rating increse, started to Do arena with this patch and i must say that dks are really strong atm :-)

I got my team up to 1728! Faced a couple 2K+ teams and got faced rolled.

Are there are good mods that offer suggested priority selections of targets?

I sometimes have trouble picking the right target to start off on and that leads to a loss.


For example, I see what I think is a lock but it is actually a priest so I end up wasting DPS on a spec that can immune.


What would be great is a mod that can put raid symbols on targets in order of priority based on spec and immunity.


If I were to list targets in kill order, I would select this (Please make suggestions or add your list)

Restoration Druids
Feral Druids
Balance Druid
Elemental Shamans
Enhancement Shamans
Restoration Shamans

Death Knights (anti-magic shell, etc)
Rogue (Vanish, Cloak, etc)
Shadow Priests (dispersion)
Frost Mages (ice block)
Paladins (bubble, wings, etc)


The teams that seem to face roll me are the heavy CCC comps, such as this one
I spent most of the fight unable to do anything.

It consists of Warrior, Paladin, Priest, Rogue, Frost Mage

Though, this team has full Vicious gear and 372 weapons and 365 gear so of course I get faced rolled!
