5-boxing and Arenas?

[mmcookies]

I asked about heroics earlier, now I'm trying to see if anyone has had any successes in the 5v5 arena bracket?

If you've had some success, what composition did you go with?
What're some worst and best opponents/situations you've gone up against?

Very few 5 boxers PvP at that level. I will once I reach 70 on all 10 (obviously 5 at a time). I only know a handful of boxers who do. Most PvE and PvP but are not as optimized as they could be to PvP in the arenas. I would love to hear about people's success though. I can't imagine it is easy, having done some arena combat during the beta - and that was level 60 with much less stamina and far fewer AoE effects.

Hmm, that's rather interesting.

Arena's the first thing I thought of once I saw the shammy video.

I think with the amount of assisting and focus firing you can do, you can easily attain 1600's or above depending on the battlegroup, and the times slots you play in.

I don't know anything about PvP. I really need to find an introduction to what you can do, ie where to go at what levels etc

At level 10-19 is the first bracket of PvP, this is WSG (Warsong Gulch) 10vs10 capture the flag. WSG is available to all brackets (10-19, 20-29, 60-69 and 70) First to cap 3 flags wins

At level 20 the first AB (Arathi Basin) opens up, where you control objectives for points, first to 2000 wins. brackets work same as WSG. 15vs15 players

At level 51 you can enter AV (Alterac Valley) which has two brackets 51-60 and 61-70. This is a 40vs40players. Main goal is to kill the enemy factions General, with side-goals along the way.

At level 70 Eye of the Storm opens up, which is a combination of AB and WSG, and again works on point accumulation. I think this one is 15vs15 but can't be sure (hardly played it)

The above award honor and marks which can be used to purchase PvP items for various levels

You can compete in Arenas from lvl 10 (i think) but unrated, and at 70 you can form a fixed PvP group for 2vs2, 3vs3, 5vs5 for rated matches that give you points based on your weekly rating, which you can spend on Arena items. You can compete in all 3 brackets.
