Poll - How many arena just for the Hatefull Set?

[pinotnoir]

The days of boxing being fun in arenas ended with wotlk. Now its nothing more than an aoe, cc, & interrupt fest. PVP in this game has turned to crap in my opinion. I am wondering how many people are doing arena just to get the non rate requirement set. At this point I have no interest in bg's. I only get honor if I need it in winters lag. Having the latest pvp set really don't matter much anymore. You can die in seconds no matter what you are wearing. Some classes can survive 5 flameshocks and 5 lava burst. Sadly, none of my shaman could survive that even if I was playing solo. They are making this game too complicated with all the talent & specializations for each class. I wish they could go back and make each class simple like it was before. I need to stop typing or this is going to turn into a huge rant.

Im not sure why you keep brining theese treads up but i disagree.

Sorry the game would be plain retarded if 5 dps could make theyr way up in 5v5.

I got 4 shamans and there is not a singel class in the game i cant blow up, the problem now is surviving the damage afterwards. If you do retarded things like sending your instant flameshocks+LvB into a paladin who got divine protection you will lose though. I mean i can kill DK's with bone shield up and 30k hp with motw in seconds. (Not when they are in frost presence though)

As far as i know its no point doing arena if your not planning to reach atleast 1300 rating and buy some deadly gear. The Hateful set is gained only trought honor..

Saying that there is no difference between hateful and furiouse is just BS, the upgrade from hateful to furiouse is bigger then savage to hatefull. Ive been trying to upgrade my offset pices from hateful to furiouse and its 20 stamina, 15 sp, 10 critt and 10-12 resillience. 10 pices of furiouse means 2000 more hp, 150 spellpower, 100 critt rating and 100-120 resillience.

If you played the first week you would have realised how easy the rating was since all pve'ers was doing uludar and the 5v5 brackett was full of blue geared nub cakes.

There are certainly burst problems though and its like hitting a wall but its far from impossible to reach 1800-1900 if your a decent player. Hell aelli almost reach 2k rating last seson and i must say i have NO clue how he did it.

I played against the best 5v5 who plays warrior,mage,ele shaman,priest and holy paladin. I nearly won them both times but the mage survived with 200 hp wich would never happened if i had the deadly gloves on my slaves with spellpenetration gems! There is no doubt that cleave teams rule pretty much everything now and its not realy hard to play or in need of and cc at all.

I hate being the grammar nazi, cause I make a lot of mistakes, but it's though, not thought!!


Thought: past participle of think
Though: in spite of the fact that

If you edit & correct, I'll delete this post =)

No need to delete the post realy!

I keep writing though wrong even if i know how to spell it, same as i wrote rouge for while! :P

Im glad people do correct me since it helps me improving my bad english!

I also just broke 1600 nothing fancy, but it is for me!! Got a slap in the face by double rogue,warrior,shaman and druid but all in all we took back 70 rating and broke 1600!

pinotnoir i feel the same as you, i just use my shaman for farming gold and plan to cancel all but 1 account soon. I'm going to single box my prot pally with ret offspec. Im having a lot more fun doing that at the moment Like you said, there is too much aoe / cc going on to be able to box like we used to. There is no need to carry on flogging a dead horse...maybe next expansion will bring it all back, but im not so sure

Hardly anyone plays in 5v5 anymore anyways, my team is 329 rating (LOL!) and is rank 333 in my battlegroup. Everyone plays 2s and 3s now and 5s is the ignored bracket, its great if you can rank up but it doesn't really mean much now since hardly anyone is playing.

Heck maybe next season it'll just be multiboxers left in 5s

I cancel 4x my subs in between holiday events, just going for the violet proto drake atm. Having a blast playing my main in ulduar, I will miss my daily skadi runs when my shaman subs run out this weekend but midsummer holiday in a month, they will be back!

I'm leveling my shams now, and I don't have an 80 so I'm kinda outa the loop sense WotLK came out, but how come no one does 5's anymore? That makes me excited to do arenas, makes me think maybe I have a chance to get a mildly decent rating if no good teams play it anymore.

[Tizer]

What makes you think that if the number of people playing 5v5 that those who do play must be bad players? Chances are, its the exact opposite.

mhm not at all ... so far...
one problem - too much skill setups with quad or triple melee >.<, ok ts rotation ... yeah ... nice 3 xretri 1x skillstorm warri and one healshamy = mainchar instant dead
last time i played vs quad melee dps 3-1 and those IMBA DUELISTS dodged me after their win (they got +47 and I got -16 - what else?^^, each win for me +4+3+3) and what happened? they announced their VICTORY against me @realmpool forum

But thats not all, sometimes I think ok that win was close but ... +0 points wtf?
Blizz change that :/

My plan:

Farm honor, play 10 games a week 5v5, get points.

Buy Hateful Parts with arena points and honor (much cheaper)

Do heroics that you can do now because of the damage increase, and farm heroic badges.

Get shield, trinkets, all the good shit and do arena and get high rating.

Kind regards,
