Looking for Arena results for non Shamans

[Havelcek]

You need big booms and stuns....POM/Pyro mages, frost mages, destro locks.

I am looking to roll another group, to add to the excitement

Hunters / Warlocks though should be insanely potent, and still interested to hear how Druids work out - due to being able to dictate the fight via stealth and elemental of surprise.

Can't you give it a test on the PTR? Though I guess maybe it's down atm? What about testing your stuff on a private server? (private server talk a no-no?)

I have a group of 1 disc priest + 4x 7/43/11 specced locks (lifetap/felguard/shadowburn) with full gladiator/vindicator

I have tried many different specs both on my priest and locks, but I found this to be the best combination when you get a bit geared. (holy/affliction might be better when you havent geared up yet)

This combination works very well in most bg's (still havent found any good tactics in WSG yet though)

In Arena I play 4 locks together with another healer. In the start I was affliction specced and it did not work too well. I won some and lost most. Was about 1350 rating. Last three weeks I've done arena as demo. This works a bit better and my rating was beginning to rise again. This week I did arena together with a resto-shaman, I think this might be my best bet. 4xbloodlusted shadowbolts+4xshadowburn while felguards chew up their clothies have potential. For the first time I won as much as I lost (6-6)

SoC works sometimes in arena, but I found that most of the time it does not work very well since people tend to dispell/spread out

With a bit more practice I think this is a combination that might work fairly well for arena, but I hightly doubt it will be as good as elemental shamans since they have insanely good stacking group buffing. However I think in worldpvp/bg the priest/4lock setup might be better than shamans due to good mobility, but then again I have no real highlevel expirience with multiboxing shamans (but working on levling a group to test it out)

5x mages.

5x POM pyro should instakill -anyone- really.
5x Ice Block (This should give you a lot of time to kill people. If you get the positioning down, you don't even need a healer vs most teams.)
5x Blink (This opens up some very cool positioning tactics if used well.)
5x sheep, altho it would be bad to try and sheep at the start of a fight, really, you need to down people quickly so that is prio. But once you kill one or two, sheeping will become interesting.

4x mages and healer could work too ofcourse, possibly better, but I think as far as a 5x combo, mages are probably even better then 5x elemental shaman. Though elemental shaman have some back up healing, mages have better survivability and equal if not more dps.

Not been anything at level 70 yet with boxing, and it's that I genuinly don't like playing the mage class, but this would have been my second option.

I do not mean to completly throw your idea away, But I highly doubt the 5x mages would work very well against an organized group. There is a lot of multibox ideas that sounds good in theory (this beeing one of them) But my experience in arena is that there will be a lot of things that will destroy your original plans.

The number one issue in arena as a multiboxer is surviving long enough. And I doubt 5x mages will survive very long without intense micromanagement at each one of them (allthough I have very little mage expirience)

I think 4 mages and then a fifth mage controlled by anot er dud on vent wud be op. 4x icelance is nice wen you can have the other mage just set them upp for you.

been thinking about it like this.. kill one vanish and immediately shadowstep behind some guy who's running to where you were.. that way you escape possible AoE detection.. wait a little while for some cooldowns and repeat :P

slow matches but if you get good at it you may win quite a few

Or kill one, vanish and shadowstep to the farthest guy out and kill him..ppl will be like wtf while you sprint away and stealth again =P So many possibilites, if only i had time to box all the classes to 70 lol

This is definitely a thread revival I think after about a month or so it seems we have quite a few more Dual-boxers entering the Arenas~ the 4x Felguard/Shadowburn setup sounds awesome, with good mobility.
