/sign here if you got ROFLStomped

How are the NON shaman arena teams doing? Are there any that are posting here and playing arena? I would think a combo of something like 5x ret pallies or 5x DKs (or 4+healer) might do decent.

Don't try to burn down DK first, Focus target killing is amazing (can't heal what you can't see coming), and rogues are OP beyond belief.

Kill order is generally healers first, then anyone with poor mitigation (or the other way, depending on the mitigation of the healers and how annoying they're being). The goal when facing multiple enemies is to make there be fewer enemies. If you successfully get to the point where you outnumber them meaningfully, it becomes much easier to kill any arbitrary target.

I normally try to kill a DPS firt so my healer doesn't have trouble keeping himself and me up while i'm nuking others

Yeah...if their healing isn't strong enough to STOP you...the fewer living enemies you have, the better.

Comes under "LOL LAVA BURST!!1!," I believe? :D

I've yet to go arena. :<

Didn't have time for it yet this week. *sniffle*

[Tizer]

Your not missing a lot. 1 win 9 losses here Cba with any more. I'll just scrape points every week while i gear up slowly.

This is so not working for me. I don't have the skills to counter the kind of stuff people are doing to me, even if they nerf the hell out of the dps.
DK bubble, 2 rogues in COS roflshot my shammies, druid knocks 2 of my shammies of the bridge, retripala roflshots another shammy.


Arena boxing is so dead. :\

Not at all. If you go for the healers, your team will be dead before you get your second cast off.

Kill order has never been healers in 5v5 in any set up that I know off.

Depending on set up, I think these are the main things people will do in 5v5.
- Nuke the dps
- LoS the dps out of their healer LoS, kite, nuke at right time
- Drain healers, kill dps
- Drain dps, kill whatever (This doesn't quite cut it anymore with the mana mana skills just about all dps mana classes have now. But it used to be viable tac vs some set ups in the old days. :P)

But I can't think fo any set up where it is prefered to kill healers first. (Maybe 3 DK's and 2 healer teams? :P )

4 wins - 6 loss's
Im not even bothering to "learn" something. Not in Brutal Gear. It's not the burst thats killing me, but instead how everyone AOE's.

TBH, theres too much knockback's, yes, even shaman thunderstorm.
Blizzard tuned it so much for mono box survival, that in arenas, everyones trick to stay alive ends up being the best way to kill ur opponent.
Im playing the game less and less. I don't give a sh1t for PvE (boring), quests/daily's (ultra boring), farming (not funny anymore), and now PvP where the fail was huge: BG's with too many vehicles and explosives (if i want to drive a striker, or fire RPG's i'd go play Americas Army), and a ultra lagged Wintergrasp. Set's are also beautiful, both in looks and in colors.

I still wanna see, if with 1200 resil, i'll be able to survive 5 seconds to this retarted game that wow has become.
