For the 5v5 Teams

[Selz]

I have been doing a few arenas now, from what i have seen I lost quite alot, i thougth it was because of my gear, its only savage/hatefull. Basically ive been copying what other people have done and said on this forum
I used all sockets on resil/stamina. But today i realised how much i resisted on the enemies in arena, 20% there, 40% there, and so on..

Then i went and throw out 5 blue gems and filled in 20+ penetration plus the cloak enchant that provices me with 35 so thats 135 added up. And then we went to arena again

This time, we beated 1800-1900 rated teams because we constantly succeded on our nuke, I tell the paladin to stun the target that im going for, then they most likely focus on trinket out
Sins im useing Glyph of shocking i can get my lava burst off 0.5 secounds after the flameshock which means, thats enougth time to get them down before they focus off the trinket again

the ideal point is. We all want as close to 130 Penetration as possible, we are so depented on our burst, all our dmg comes from spells so thats a MUST: even thougth you might lose 1k health
but trust me its woth going for, so you know you wont fail your nuke, because if you do.. ull most likely die anyway

Try it out. Ill garentie you will be happy for it. :thumbsup:

Hehe, You found that out aswell?
I got that tip a while back from a guild I was in, and it's something I'll never be without again!
Another tip for ya, get the 4% hit aswell :P...I still see misses at 3,45% :S, and they can be devastating!

But how do you handle 4dps teams? (pref with 2x retri or 2x hunter)....I just can't seem to figure out a safe way :P

Im at 5% hit and also have the 3% hit from talents so im kinda safe on that side :P

4dps teams has always been hard for us, and will always be, thougth id like to throw my fire nova totems down and blast a ret paladin down most likely they dont bubble. It seems paladins are waiting with their bubble untill they have flameshocks on them which is kinda understandable but if you count the dmg, only hit dmg

I place x4 firenova totems, purge him off so he got no buffs then lava burst + Hand-Mounted Pyro Rocket at the same time as the totems goes off.

1500x4 pr nova
3500x4 pr lava burst
1500x4 Hand-Mounted Pyro Rocket (engineering skill)

= 26k dmg this is only hits on 12 spells you are close to garentied 3-4 of them will crit so the dmg will pass 30k and yet i have never met a paladin with that amount of health nonbuffed ofc
