I've gone in a few times solo, did ok, but it's definitely a challenge. Really have only done arenas a little each week to start getting some points up.

With practice, gear, and PVP talent build (been specd for PVE.. no NS, Eye of storm,etc) I'm sure things would go pretty well.

Biggest challenges have been-

2+ people AoE bombing me, with healers out of range spamming them.

Shaman can AoE back, but can't spam it. They have big fire nova, but its got a 15 sec cooldown, and that alone generally won't kill people especially if with enemy healers around doing their job.

AoE fear also hurts, obviously. Not so much for the scatter, as having so many tremor totems pretty much removes the fear instantly, but it disrupts casting/synchronization (reduces ability to focus fire).


That said though, 5 shaman can potentially drop 3 people instantly from 36 yards away


With 2 piece tidefury set bonus.. (reduces dmg drop per jump of chain lightning)


Chain Lightning + NS + EM, decent +dmg, etc

First Target 2800 x 5 = 14,000 dmg

Second Target 2324 x 5 = 11,620 dmg

Third Target 1929 x 5 = 9,645 dmg




If that lands on three players, most likely game over~



Lots that can mess it up though. Pets.. hits them instead. Grounding totem.. nullifies the entire volley. Pain suppression...
