@OP: 5s is extremely hard, I am one of the 5 boxed teams above 1800 and I admit freely its a zerg fest with cleave teams. All it takes is Warrior+Rogue, Warrior+Lock, or Warrior+Ret to make life miserable (nerf warrior hp much?). If you're rolling around in full deadly gear, then your gear is fine!! You have done all the work and spent those long hours gearing up, now it just comes down to PRACTICE PRACTICE PRACTICE... if you are this far along I suggest giving it more time, quitting now... especially with being newer to 5s... is just stupid. I have been working on boxed 5v5 since season3 of BC.... it takes TIME to get the hang of it. Quitting hastily like this will leave you bitter for a long time. Sticking it out and seeing the fruits of your practice will make you much more satisfied.

As far as strategies against the ominous warrior... Dominion, Sinaa, Myself and others have posted a lot about strats and secrets related to cleave comps over the last 30 days or so, dig up our threads and most importantly, do some thinking before you Q. Theorycraft, think through your gear. enchants, gems etc. I posted a long blurp about the importance of high spellpower and LvB/Crit modifiers etc. If you dont have the power to kill people fast, stam and resil will not win for you... and you will lose against these teams, period.

@Mokoi: "deadly gear in a furious arena"... ummm hell ya deadly gear in a furious arena. Thats how the system works every season lol. Nobody is fully decked out in Furious sets quite yet... everyone started with deadly or below... making Deadly the BEST set pieces to have starting this season. However Clovis, you should have full furious accessories (rating dependant of course) as SOON as you qualify for them.

Frustrating, hell yes. I've wanted to punch through my walls at least once a week (I'm extremely competitive).
When you finally kill that 2200 rated cleave comp thats been owning your ass for hours... and take 25 points from them. It's all worth it.

Although pvp whiners claim we have it easy and get free gladiator titles... we don't. Its tougher than ever right now (considering season 5 was impossible). I'm here for any advice and general help I can give, as are other successful arena boxers. Dont expect results overnight.

I wish you luck, its a tough road... but its doable.
