I am REALLY struggling in arena right now. I won like 2 games out of 12 or so.
Can you tell me how a typical game goes down for you?
Usually what happens to me is warriors charge in, fear, then warlock does that shadowwhatever stun and all hell breaks lose, I just end up getting creamed.
If you get a chance to fraps a few arena's, I'm sure everyone would love to see it too.
Oh my god im 12th on my BG !

Hah sina is in my same pvp bracket along with kicksome. would be interesting to see how that turns out if we see each other in the arena. Now if only my healer would ever log on.
yah ill fraps some.
we're # 10 but its hard to really take 5v5 seriously (hence my team name) since only a handful of teams are playing
http://www.wowarmory.com/team-info.x...this+seriously
LOL, gj
I wanted just to congratulate you then I checked my battlegroup to see how it was.. it seems only after 11 games that my team is #1 aswell... which shows how 5vs5 is dead at my bg.. me having little to no experience with the arenas, Ellay we need you back, you prolly would kick some sweet ass in the arena now.
Yea my team is #1 as well now that I look at it, what a joke though because I can think of 5 or 6 teams that totally handed us our asses so, it wont last. #1 5's team at 1516 rating lol(my MMR has bombed this week as well, 1800 to 1580ish), btw resto druid healers are pretty amazing now! try it! Just by looking at the teams on the ladder though theres only about 30 "active" teams, my team has a huge amount of games played compared to others but, hell I was just having fun with it .. tried many different healers this week, and strats for that matter. Its really surprising how dead the 5s bracket is, maybe they need to make the 5s point gain significantly higher again like it used to be to help boost the team base.
Ya I was #2 in the battlegroup last time I logged. I agree they need to add incentive to get 5v5 running again, its rough with so few teams running and therefore able to learn our weaknesses so quickly. I'm making a hard push for 1650 this weekend (with my paladin healer) to burn all my honor on boots/necks/rings.
McGee I would love to hear more about the resto druid comp. Pros? Cons? Im interested to see if it could help me... but atm i have too many healers on the bench :P
We should make a S6 5v5 Thread and list out all of our collective strats, findings, and advice - seems like a lot of us are interested in giving it some real effort this season, especially when more teams start playing (which i hold out they will).
Great going guys :)
On a side note it looks like they really screwed up the point system.
You destroyed me Sina!
nice matches man
I was the poor 4-boxer at the end of your lavabursts :)
Keep it up man!
I'm waiting to do another match with you and learn something!
I was getting rickrolled last night by teams with 1800 match raiting while im sitting around 1500. Not much you can do when everyone on the other team (including mages and priests) is sitting with 28k health!
I faced 3 different boxing teams and had nearly 15 fights only vs boxers wich and i lost one, one outgeared me by alot aswell.
Got wtfpwned by meele teams by a random priest i invited and he had 17000 hp and 250 resillience, aka this guy!
http://eu.wowarmory.com/character-sh...Kazzak&n=Mythr
It actually started realy realy bad with 8 losses wich aint tobad when i saw that everyone was 2k+ rated already. We decided to play untill we lost and we went from 0 to 800 ratinging without losing and getting the winning streak achivment. We continued to play untill we hit 1300 rating and decided to stay to take the evening with 32-20 in win/loss.
Quite comforting since we were outgeared in 9/10 of the fights without using VT and i didnt even bother to make a heal macro for the priest! :P
my only problem is that 5vs5 in group is stone dead.. hardly a fight each day in the whole group
http://eu.wowarmory.com/arena-ladder...1&sf=rank&sd=a
Hah got also rank 1... ez mode :D
Yep but i bet it will go up monday/tuesday since everyone wants to hit a certain rating!Quote:

Paladin healer is money,money money!!!!
That aura mastery is amazing. AM gives you 10sec of silence immunity. you cannot get kicked, pummeled, counterspelled and wont suffer from pushback.
Edit: I believe they will do something to 5s, its really dead for the most part everywhere and has been dead for a while. Either boosting points given or deleting it or even coming out with a new bracket....
U linked the wrong team though ;-)Quote:

Was some fun matches against you yesterday. Kept telling my healer to cyclone your main guy, but she got all confused by your names :D

Yeah and i told my priest to los like hell if he was flameshocked but he said "Whut?" then he was dead.
Anyway boxer vs boxer fights is very random and the cyclone was annoying enough when she managed to! :)
Lets hope the bracket gets more active when people starts to clear uludar on a more normal basis!
I got my team to 1615 last week( went higher but lost a couple ) and the only team we fought that I just flat out had no idea how to counter was a 3 melee team. This is really strange because melee teams are usually like, gg ty for the points, but this team has a secret weapon. That is.... a FoK spamming rogue. This ability is so broke its not even funny, I actually 1 shot their warrior a few times while TS'n/stunning the DK and the single rogue killed my entire team ( 22k hp 950 resil on all 4, resto druid has 20kish 700 resil ) about 1 sec after this CoS wore off. FoK also interrupts all spell casting so, you literally cannot do a fucking thing. We had many many matches where the combat lasted no more than 5 sec and the rogue broke 100k dmg, his teammates where around 20k dmg and keep in mind, one of them was a bladestorming warrior. Only thing I can think to do is just spread out and try to help cut down on the FoK dmg but spreading out has some big disadvantages. First one is turning is an nightmare, one shaman is almost always turning the wrong way if you have melee weaving in and out. Second thing is healing, AOE heals dont work, chain heals dont work. But I'm hoping just a quick spread out while the rogue burns his CoS then reform and ice the fucker after CoS runs out, thats my best guess. I will say most rogues cannot even come close to this guys dmg, he must have some kind of OP trinket/spec build that makes his FoK do rediculous dmg, also that allows him to just spam it 7-10 times in a row without running out of energy, I believe this is a combat tree rogue.
Anyway's, thats how my first week went. Earlier in the week we saw a ton of really well organized teams with gladiator tags but I guess they stopped queueing because over the weekend it was mostly just cannon fodder. So biggest issue's atm is oragnized AoE spam, honestly pillar humping teams didnt do as well thanks to the earthbind root and the instant lvb(which has a massive rng factor btw 20k-50k dmg depending on resil and rng counting all 4 hitting).
Its a combat talent that makes it interrupt and yes its a thing i fear ALOT, even more with if your in a dead brackett... This means they can pretty much expect that its you they are fighting and make theyr rogue swap to combat.Quote:

If you got a paladin healer he can pop aura mastery wich means you can cast spells without interruption and thats the time you have to get the rogue aswell. Rogues are super soft and go down like a brick in water once that clos is gone, if he vanish drop a earth bind. (ofc this always sounds easy on paper)
This team very pretty hard to beat and is dominating the 5v5 in our BG.. http://eu.wowarmory.com/character-sh...h&n=Wigglytuff
Certainly not impossible but still very hard! I sadly only got 2 matches against them and the first they rushed me SO hard i got totaly suprised, second one i decided to try my burst on the warrior wich didnt use a shield but like i expected theyr paladin bubbled and absorbed 30% of the damage. (this ablibity is insane tbh, i should get a paladin myself to counter it)
My priest was focused and got hit pretty hard but if i can get a early kill or last 10 seconds.. (my priest could even try to mass dispell it if possible)
There is no doubt that our hardest counter is 3 meele with 2 healers.. 2 meele 1 caster with 2 healers is easy mode if i keep groundings up!
This was the only fight that seemed impossible to me, the rest actually went very good and there was no teams i didnt win against. Losing teams with hunters require full focus, i faced one with 4 ressers but managed to win..
Well said McGee. I have been wondering for a couple months when someone at blizz would wake up and see how broken FoK is.... then they went and gave it a +20% dmg glyph. Unbelievable. My shamans are all sitting at 900 resil 22.5k hp (leader is 25k hp and 1010 resil), and Ive been killed in 4 seconds by a single rogue with MAYBE 2 tenacity on him in WG too many times. I worship my box formation in open pvp... and I absolutely hate it in arena for the exact reasons you said. There is so much fear and stunning in 5v5 that its impossible to reliably get all 4 guys facing the correct way... so I just dont know about the FoK problem. Insta Gib a dps, spread out wait for cloak, turn and LB CL ES nuke the rogue... best i can figure.
How are you doing against the SF / FrNova / Fear / SF / Typhoon 15 second CC combos? This is what makes 5v5 absolutely abysmal. I am beating my head against the wall this week (over 140 matches) for the sole purpose of finding weaknesses in these teams... but its tough with all dps targets sitting at 28k hp. Granted, the team in question is already 2000 #1 BG with multiple Gladiator tags... but I still enjoy the practice. I have killed them a few times so its worth it.
You're probably playing against a "real" team. Many of the other battlegroups seem so inactive that they may actually not have any teams playing that represent the true possible performance of a top 5v5 team.Quote:

I certainly faced "real" teams and the activity went up alot sunday/monday/tuesday, you cant expect that people priotize 5v5 with uludar and everything going on.
I dont understand why people stack shitloads of stamina/resillience etc..
As a 4 dps team you have to get that early kill and you wont get that sitting with 1500 SP on each shaman, you certainly wont win on outlasting teams...
Most team's have ways to entirely mitigate your dmg no matter how hard you hit. you could hit them for 2 million dmg the fact is their immune at the moment, or a grounding totem soaked up your dmg, or it got reflected. If somone is out in the open without some bs immunity/reflect/ground type effect their as good as dead and I only have 1650ish spell power unbuffed. I have no problem killing people, its just a matter or living long enough to make them use all their bullshit so their not immune any longer.
Oh also, when teams are able to kill you in 3 gcd's with just spam AoE dmg and stun/silences, stacking resil stamina is the only way to even play in 5's. Even with my gear I still get roflstomped by mass AoE pewpew from time to time before I can even get a spell off due to the AoE CC's.
Consider on getting the stoneclaw glyph or chaning your healer.
A paladin brings aura mastery(10 seconds of immunity to silence/interrupts) and imp divine protection (his shield absorbs 30% of all the damage)
Should make you last long enough to blow apart the rogue, wich is the easiest class to kill once clos is gone..
