    Ellay mentioned in some of his earlier videos a prioritization of Damage Dealing classes, which is contrary to the typical strategy of taking out the healers first.

    In arena, there are limited opposition. If a "typical" team is three DPS and two healers, taking out one of the DPS basically reduces the oppositions chance to take you out, by a very large degree.

    It worked well for him.



    The instructional video was titled (and I saved it as) Aelli_-_Arena_Guide.avi

    I agree with this assessment 100%. If you have the DPS to blow another DPS up, what is the point in targeting a healer first. If the healer has no DPS to heal, well the other team isn't going to kill you ;p

    I've found the pressure from 4x HB spams to be so devastating in arena that you can put out enough damage in a matter of seconds to ultimately OOM a single healer. On the other hand my Paladin gets blown up so quickly that usually it becomes a simple DPS race ;p
