I'm on the same Battlegroup as MrMcgee so I'm guessing I am going to have a hard time playing arena as well, but I have a priest who is high rated in twos and a 2 season glad pally just waiting to start healing me in 5's

[Dominian]

Rogue's have a "FoK spec" now, its mainly used for 5's and most of the top teams on my Bg at least have a rogue using it. Its broke in so many ways, blizzard doesn't care and its the perfect counter to a multiboxer. Only hope is that you can insta gib the rogue when he first comes out. Most cleave teams can kill me before his CloS wears off, the dmg is just rediculous. My BG seems like an extremely difficult one to box on, everyteam I fight does something that impresses me to win. I did much better in season 5 actually staying in the 1900's most of the season, this season I'm having a little trouble finding a healer who will stick it out with me. My first one was a druid and he seems to have quit wow ( like my paladin from s5 ), and my 2nd healer was another paladin and he seems to have moved on to anotehr 5s team in hopes of getting the 2200 5s achievement for his arena master so once again, no healer atm but I'm going to do games with a friend's resto drudi this week .. he has bad gear but very good player.



At any rate heres a link to my team - http://www.wowarmory.com/team-info.x...Lightning&fl=1 - I probably out gear everyone here and have more games played yet only 1810 atm ... though I never did pick up a profession on my followers



I really feel that the nearly 500 games I played in s5 has made this season much more difficult because so many people have a lot of experience fighting me, already have nearly 300 this season.

WOW i took a armoury check on the 17 highest ranked teams and tbh i didnt belive you when you claimed that rogues specced FOK but that amount is simply insane.

There must be a team setup that is popular on your server wich FOK wtfpwn because i cant see any reason to use it vs a normal arena team were people actually spread out. Rogues can keep you from casting easy enough without FOK.

asonimie pretty much sums it all up in his post Negativ1337.

You have to prevent facerolling by thunderstorm rotations like asonimie said, another thing i do is to flameshock ret paladins and fake cast LvB wich makes them bubble and lose 50% damage for 10 seconds. (this is ususaly enough to destroy the burst of "normal" teams, gladiators just wait it out thought.)

3-5k hp wont make you last that much longer if there are 5 enemy players alive, and once you tried to burst the warrior down and failed the enemy team knows that theyr warrior is safe to send in next match aswell.

[asonimie]

Yeah,

I was checking multiple armory's before i started stacking on Stamina and i thought that it would be better to have 25k hp on Stamina gems, instead of +300 spellpower. I have around 2.1k spellpower selfbuffed with full hateful, so i might lose 200 spellpower but i gain a lot of extra HP.

And if this is a failure i have the money to regem/enchant, but don't you guys get facerolled with 20k-22k hp?

Kind regards,

Negativ1337

No. I never get facerolled with my stats. The hardest gladiator cleave teams I face (I can think of about 3 specifically) still take ~1 minute to start killing me - I know this because their heroism has worn off long before I start dropping. I have 21k hp unbuffed. It is plenty.

If your healer can not keep you alive through 23k dmg, you are getting focus fired, and he will not keep you alive through 26k either... period. This is only prevented by thunderstorm rotations.

PS: I forgot to mention before, and once again I was guilty of this until 2 weeks ago when I overhauled my team, but Stoneclaw totem is a piece of garbage in 5v5, absolutely useless. You're shield WILL be gone before the global cooldown even finishes..... meaning you just stood there for 2 seconds doing essentially nothing. DO NOT USE STONECLAW IN 5v5!!!! Drop it for thunderstorm Glyph pronto, even on your main. You will never look back :thumbup:

@FOK spec rogues: Yes they suck, but use it to your advantage. That rogue will be so tunnel-visioned on spamming you, he will do anything to stay in group... Meaning he will COS after 1-2 thunderstorms. When it wears off... hes dead. In the meantime those TStorms will keep any melee off you as well.

[s]Was really hoping to break 1400 last night, bu all night we were getting nothing but 1900-2100 cleave teams. We hit about 1387 and for an hour got the same 2 impossible teams over and over. Worst team I have played: 2x fan of knives rogues, I think their quickest win against us was under 10 seconds... such a gimmick. They opened with CoS already on and we were all dead by the time it wore off.

[/s]doin a little better now
