I did some arena games yesterday and it went terrible. I am playing with a resto shaman, wich has achieved 2.4k rating in 2v2 and 3v3 so he isn't a bad player.

Frost mages / frost DK teams are my worst enemy.

Ring of frost: 10 second iceblock
DK: also iceblock for 5-10 seconds.

Its really hard even if you trinket you have a chance to end up in a icecube again. Also killing the frostmage is hard since you really need to burn him down and they usually iceblock in time.

Firemages were a pain aswell, they die quickly but they also can use iceblock to save themselves, and the fire cone that disorientates is a real pain.

I find warlocks and druids and easy first kill targets. Yesterday i had games vs. a prot warrior and he shield reflect every 5 seconds lol. I also swapped lightning shield glyph for stoneclaw. If you drop a stoneclaw totem 2 sec before the gate open, and you redrop tremor/earthbind you still have the absorbtion shield, wich absorbs around 20k-25k damage.

Also bloodthirsty/viscious set doesnt stack with set bonussus. So you can either get 2/5 viscious and 2/5 bloodthirst for +800 resil, or get a full set of one of the sets.

I am now leveling engi for the shocker, and im going to race change to goblin aswell to have an extra 30-40k damage. They dont cooldown eachother, so you can use both the gloves and the racial rocket.

Arena is tough these days, most trouble im having is with circle of frost i'd say. Also prot warriors are a pain and can get a lot of health back without a healer.

Yesterday i had an arena game vs:
frost dk
frost mage
rogue
2x druid

As soon as i killed one of their dps (feral druid) the other druid ressed him up asap. I even lost some games against:
Retri paladin
rogue
frostmage
prot warrior

5vs4 and they still owned us like 3-4 times.

I think we need some more gear, and im not sure if im keeping fullimation, since the mana u get is good, but im almost never getting more then 4-5 stacks on my lightning shield.

Any suggestions?
