No Mage or Warlock MB Arena Teams?

Ur first cast is UA, and they just go to LOS spots, and wait until it goes of. What will u do then? rush them, fear them and pray for ticks to kill someone? i dont think its that simple.

C'mon Merujo, I'm not an idiot here. You obviously have to time things and learn how to make it effective ie. use LOS to your advantage and DC the correct targets.

I don't think you run push 4 buttons and profit a 16 point increase, but if you really think that's how I think in my posts I will clarify in extreme detail for you from now on.

Me talking about Spriests out loud makes me want to play around with them for a bit

Hehe Ellay, you got me a bit more stoked about Hunters honestly. It seems like being able to stop all your dps by mounting on top of the Hunters is just too big of a threat, but... shrug. The horror effect on the fear is biiiiig, especially considering the first hits for 4 seconds plus a fear on top of it. If they trinket you just do it again and you'll get another ~5 seconds of CC out of it.

I have 5 "main" accounts and 5 RAF accounts. I'm going to power level one set of 4x priests to 60, then do 4x warlock to 30 on the opposite accounts and then gift the warlocks to 60. Quick and easy--Then I'll just casually grind'em to 70. I'd like to cap honor, tokens, and arena on at least two teams pre-expansion so that I'm ready one way or the other.

The thing is everyone is getting a ton of insane new abilities in the expansion, so it's hard to base any ability off what they are doing. Shamans get Thunder which I would say is the equivalent easily of a psychic scream with 4 seconds of horror effect.

Some rough numbers for everyone's edification (+1100 spell damage):

Corruption: 900dmg over 18 seconds, gets 129.5% of spell damage, +15%dmg from talents: 2675dmg over 18 = 148dps
Siphon Life: 630dmg over 30 seconds, gets 100% of spell damage, 10%dmg from talents: 1900dmg over 30 = 63dps
Curse of Agony: 1356dmg over 24 seconds, gets 100% of spell damage, +25%dmg from talents: 3070 over 24 = 128dps

Total dps for one Warlock via dots: 339dps
Total dps for four Warlocks via dots: 1359dps

That's rough, but... That's probably 15+ seconds of 4x dots to kill someone that does not have any removed and does not receive any healing. Now, that's fire-and-forget power but you're still talking about 4.5 total seconds of GCD to get that on someone AND assuming nobody is CC'd at all.

Not near as much damage as I was thinking about. Definitely going to go Priest now methinks.

What you actually forgot to add is the damage reduction resillience gives. Not to speak off the shadow resistance buff priests can give you. (Since paladins use con aura)




Another thing people also forget warlocks spellstone who can remove all magic effects at once. Ofc you get this one aswell wich can be a nice counter towards frost nova etc. Dooing arena as a sl/sl lock always have been about control so if you can do that eveything is possible but my knowledge from both my druid and paladin is that a sl/sl lock cant kill me unless they have a uber lucky chain fear with me scewing up and getting spellocked. Cleansing at my paladin pretty much removes the need of healing vs sl locks and i can do it while running so its not hard to los new dots.

Alot can change with demon form and aoe shadowbolts so it will be fun to see!
