Grrr - can't decide on team!

I'm lvl'ing my first team which is 5 locks. They are currently lvl 69, and all demo spec. Demo spec is nice with meta, fel guards, and added survivability. I don't know about arena yet, but in BGs it is so much fun! It's funny watching 5 fel guards destroying a DK. Plus if you chain their charge attack, it's like 5 extra stuns ready to go. If melee class gets up in my face, I cast meta with immolation aura, and everything around me dies (I've made allies in AV wipe on galv doing that a lot). If i wanna instant kill someone, I cast 5 deathcoils at once, followed by a healthy can of fel guard whoop ass. Anyway, even if you don't use them for arena, it's just fun to play them.

The above poster is right - BG's and arena are very different games. At least until rated BG's start, and by then the rated pvp players will be coming to the BG's and it won't be quite the same anymore. But anyway, most teams are viable in BG, although I can imagine the locks are more fun than most - at least they have been for me so far

I wouldn't necessarily agree that burst is "needed." Remember the drain-teams of a few seasons back? They functioned off of the concept of just running your opponents oom.

Like where asonimie is going with his locks: dot a lot of people up and start fearing stuff. Who knows if it'll be competitive, but it's a new approach, and you never know what can work until you try it.

Having said all that, I'd have a hard time giving up the shaman. The can just do sooo many different things, and the stacking of totems just pushes it over the top.
