At first, I thought 5 Shamans were the obvious choice. After reading through the thread I started about Shamans in Arenas, I think Horde Shadow Priests may be a more viable route. However, before I spend $1500, shoot me down if you see any fallacious ideas.
Here's my general strategy in Arenas:
Two Troll and three Undead Shadow Priests. All will Fear Ward and Shield themselves before battle of course. Spell Trinket before you engage.
Start of Battle) Single Psychic Scream.
First Attack ) 2x Hex of Weakness and 3x SW : Pain at same time. Alternately, Silence their healer if it is range.
Second Attack) 3x SW: Pain and 2x VE at same time.
Third Attack) Full nukage, 5x Mind Blast followed instantly by 5x SW: Death.
The idea is simple: Preoccupy their Paladin and Priest with trying to dispel your main target of fear, DoTs, and debuffs (or Silence if possible), and then nuke the bejebus out of it. The first target should be quick to die, as Scream, Fear Ward and Shields will buy you at least 5-6 seconds of free reign before they can shatter your ranks.
After the first target, you will proceed to DoT their whole team while running constantly in and out of range and chain Silencing their healers, obviously recasting Shield again as soon as it falls (since you cast it before engagement).
As for the 3 UDs, that's fairly obvious. After Fear Ward is consumed, they will be your next line of defense against AoE Fear with WotF, dispelling the two Trolls.
Thoughts? Experiences? Criticism? I would appreciate all of those.![]()
