tip: get a dedicated healer
i tried 5 boxing solo arenas, its hard. I just got a pally healer, and sub in and out guys on rotation to keep ratings up.
I think there are 2 people that have touched 1900s or 2000
with full s2 i reached 1650 alone with my 5 shamans
(my healer was away for 2 weeks, so i had to play alone, after he had come back we reached 1850 together and i get 3/5 s4, he plays a heal druid)
Closest I got was 1650 around season 3. I didn't even bother trying in s4. ;) Too lazy.
who who who? :)Quote:

I am pretty much full S2 so I will give it a shot with 5 shamans this week and tell you how I do.
In July/August i reached 1880 with my 5 shamans (EU-Blutdurst). I played without an external player.Quote:

I am getting royally handled. I am in full S2. I have played 5 games thus far. All against the same team. Wait 20mins queue again. Same team. Its an aoe/knockback team and if this is my intro to 5manning arenas.....this trial by fire is gonna end up killing me :(.Quote:

Smokebum on Coilfang for one reached Duelist, 1920ish IIRC, quint boxing. (His name isn't exaclty smokebum becuase he was retarded ascii characters in his name, but his team name was WTB one win). He's my DB buddy on Coilfang, so I'll ask his lazy butt to come post here :)Quote:

I was able to get to 2030 or something but got my ass kicked from there. Wasn't able to get s4 weapon or shield ;( . I got alot of help from Alemi (Aka Shaggir) with macros and strategies. I would say I was lucky but Shaggir gets mad when I say that lol. Unlike most here I really am a noob, I really didnt have much of a strategy when I did arenas against different comps (mainly cuz I have no idea what all the different comps are). Mainly I just blow up the the druid/shaman/hunter/warriors cuz they seemed easiest to kill and went from there.
My proudest moment was when I handed "Drain Comp" (brutal gladiators this season) their first lost :thumbsup: .
All in all it was a fun season, but without the tips I got from Shaggir, I would have probably ended up around 1700.
Can you post the tips here for the rest of us? =8v)Quote:

I don't think most of the strategies I've used used will work now but most are simple things that people know already.
Shaggir has taught me alot about setting up macros, addons, and identifying what spec my target probably is by looking at their buff (yes I was that much of a noob and still am), unlike him since I box with 5, I somewhat had to come up with my own strategies that work for me in arenas.
As I stared before I really do not pay attention to the comp of the team much, my thing is play the team depending on how they play you and go for the weak targets.
Weak targets would be most of the classes (especially druids, shamans, & hunters) that come a little to close to me where I can just shock & blow them up or just guys who just play stupid. Sometimes, if teams is just running from me or chasing me, I would actually chase the "weak target" at the right moment to blow them up and drop totems right after to avoid fear bombs.
I am always droping new set of totems when I'm moving, even when im just chasing around pillars, incase they are taking out my tremors.
And what some have heard about taking out the DPS first does not apply as well when your 5 boxing. Taking out a rezer and just camping his body until ur cooldown expires is the key when ur against a 3 or 4 rezer teams. I've gone as long as 45 mins in a game with like 30 kills before.
There alot of other stuff but I think its all about experience, just play as many games as u can.
Gotto go now my WoLK just finished installing :D .
