First night went 4-5 Matchmaking Rating is now 1490


Quad Shaman + Holy Pali is godly, my partner is geared in a mix of PVP and Naxx gear, issues i have found so far.

Im very very under geared in the DPS department. Casters on the other team were in full T7 gemed/chanted out way over 3k spell dmg.
I need to get spell Pen added to my cloaks, my spell damage was Horrid with a lot of partial dmg resisted.
Mass AoE Teams are a pain along with 2 healer teams. Unless i can nuke the priest down within the first 5 seconds im toast.

Need to rethink my totem sequience, current one is great for BG's but feels slugish in the Arena!

Until Friday!

Hit 80 with my first team today, my first 5v5 was against you lol.

yea i lost, definately seems very overwhelming at first.

[asonimie]

First two days of 5v5 completed for me. Running 4xsham + healer (trying BoSac Pally/Disc Priest/ Resto Sham). My gear is full hateful + 2-4 deadly pieces, and maxed enchants etc. Despite low population of teams queueing (not as bad as before tho), things are looking great so far. 22-4, im dropping 1000 resil targets without even purging if needed. Holy pally with AOE Sacrifice spec is so godly.... that and stoneclaw totem... i am taking so little damage. On average my health on all 4 shams is >70% at all times. The dps is just stupid.

Main problems I've noticed so far: Warlocks are very dangerous to us now. Worst class to pick for the initial gib target, and shadowfury stuns seem to be going off every 3 seconds. Caster DPS teams are still very dangerous as usual, arc mage+elem shaman WILL kill you if ignored. And as usual aoe melee range stuns slowing you down hurts your chances. EB and TS are my new best friends for pillar humpers as predicted, just hilarious. All in all I am extremely impressed with our possibilities now.

Bring on the Frostwyrm Mount.

I don't wnt to give a dismal outlook but, I'm something like 30-40 ( I was running with a new healer who is very green pvp wise though ). Most of the teams I faced where many of the same teams I competed against before, top page ones, and they handled me in almost ever case. The insta gib did help us pull out a few wins here and there but I was overall pretty sad at the performance. Plenty of times I would hit somone at 80% hp with 4 lvb ( yea they had flame shocks on ) and they would not die ( gg priest bubbles and hots ) which was immensely irritating. More over, the same issues still exist, so many class's can simply null out my enormous dmg spike that it gives the opposing team nearly 60-120 sec to kill one of my guys and make my dps manageable. For example

1) open on first dps lets say .. DK .. he hits AMS ..

2) ok, switch to the next dps .. warrior ... he turtles, reflects and shield walls .. fuck

3) back to the DK! his resto shaman drops a grounding nulling 4 lvb, now he's running out of LoS ... QQ

4) ok .. theres a hunter I'll nuke him .. nope shadow meld... np he was dot'd .. back on hunter .. nope deflection ... ok god damnit ...

5) back to the warrior! nope he's still reflecting and theres another grounding totem .. he runs out when he gets low ... *punch's desk*

6) THERES THAT GOD DAMN HUNTER POP's CD's AND INSTANT CAST HAHAHhah... he feigned .. FUCK FUCK FUCK ...

7) lead guy dies .. /leave arena

Now imagine all this action takes place in the course of, im not kidding, 30 seconds. And I promise this is exactly how 90% of my games go against the higher rated teams, its EXTREMELY frustrating. Can we win? That honestly depends on how many mistakes the opposing team makes. Frankly we are at a large disadvantage, and believe it or not the action im laying out above is extremely optamistic. Most teams will pepper in AoE cc's in there as well, warstomps, torrents, fears ect ect. Most teams I fight that have a 1600 or lower MMR ( match making rating ) just get rolled, its amazing how badly we beat them like I really feel confident. Then we fight these 1800+ teams and they just handle me with such skill and ease its very discouraging, peoples ability to simply run out before I can get a spell off is just murdering me. EB totems could help but, most good healers dispell that shit almost instantly and i just wasted a cd that i could have possibly got a lvb off in so its hit and miss. More-over most class's class's have ways to break movement impairing stuff outside of the trinkets now just, but curiing aside, the logistic's of deploying an earthbind totem while im trying to lvb combo is something I'm still working on.



Anyways, this isn't to be negative this is just my experience thus far. I'll post again after I can get some games in with my pro healer from s5. Also in fairness most of the teams i fought had 3 even 4 people with gladiator tags so essentially what I'm saying is, gladiator titles for multiboxers still feels like its a ways off, BUT sure we can still compete. I think its possible to push over 2k even given a more favorable battlegroup, but gladiator? I have serious doubts.



Lets hold our breath for the upcoming totem change!!! that will be a breath of fresh air when somone faceroller with a pet cant eat my totems up in 10 sec without even thinking about it.(3 pet teams are just disasters, hunter lock DK ... dont even get me started ... )

Oh I guess I'll add in my 5s team name, same name since s4 and will be the same as long as I play- "Ride the Lightning" ( thank you metallica ), my shamans are Sanza Sanzb Sanzc Sanzd ... more info in sig below should you desire it!

Well, your 900 PR probably makes it easy to believe arena's are a candy land! HOWEVER, I had a 1800+ PR and my story is vastly different. I don't wnt to give a dismal outlook but, I'm something like 30-40 ( I was running with a new healer who is very green pvp wise though ). Most of the teams I faced where many of the same teams I competed against before, top page ones, and they handled me in almost ever case.

I know the feeling to go up against REALY good teams and the hardest teams last seson contained a pve geared survival hunter who kept doing explosive shot+aimed shot over and over taking your hp to 50% each time, after a set time you would mess it up and die. Going against them was hard to to having a prot tank who dropped a fear bomb and stunned you, while a druid cyclone spammed my healer and theyr healer dropped a HOJ on him.

Anyway i have dropped my talents in astral shift and put them into thoughness and it works great, i can now TS while stunned and fear breaks on less damage anyway making it almost useless. The new holy paladin talent makes me immune against silence and counterspells for 10 seconds in pressured phases. Im consider to go 5/5 in reverberation and ofc i already have 2/2 in booming echoes simply to try and put out alot more pressure and make theyr healers do more mistakes. 4x lava shocks should do around 10k on the average and force the healers to heal more and hopefully not beeing able to position themself right.

You better gear then me Mrmcgee but we draw closer due the lack of proffesions on your slaves, lets say you had enchanting and mining. Thats 40 spelldamage and 500 hp, not much but it certainly helps! I havent put my proffesion to max use either but im doing dailies to fix that and now that i got myself epic flyers dailies takes abit over an hour and brings me 1k gold + drops. I also got myself the heroic badge trinket with 98 spelldamage on my slaves as the WG trinket never procs when i want anyway i feel that its useless. (I still use the resillience trinket on my main since she ususaly take alot more of the beating, ive actually considered going over to double dps trinkets on my slaves but i will have to wait and see how it turns out when i get full hateful and maxxed proffesions) Ofc this changes on higher ratings vs better teams!

Hopefully i can squeeze 80 spelldamage out of proffesions on each slave and roughly it would mean on lava burst critt.. 80x2= 160 wich is 160 almost 640 all in all.. You can withdraw 20% due to resillilience thought!

Theese are all just ideas and i havent even tested the seson yet and i never even found a proper healdin last seson so im in no way saying that i know more then you, but getting something out of thoose proffesion would certainly help abit!

My gear and spell damage sucks 1800 spelldmg, closing on 500 resil with only 35 spell pen. After getting the spell pen enchant on my cape and testing it out in WG i noticed my damage went up slightly. Didnt seem to get near as many resists.

I didnt know it was a multi boxing team i was facing until the shaman's focued fire at once. Was a great fight I will enjoy facing you again with better gear.


The starting resiliance you can get from crafted sets and some hateful gear just does not compete with the high level PvE raid gear some teams are packing, this weekend i am hoping to fill out a ton of deadly honor slots and work on enchants. Seeing this is my first Arena season im not upset about getting rickrolled by some of these teams.
