So I did my first arena

[unit187]

Another day I went to 5v5 arena with my 4 shamans and my mate resto druid.

My gear is very weak, 7200 health and 0 resilience, 399 +spd. The druid with 4 a1 and some blues/greens.
We did 10 games, 1 win and 9 loses. Thats unreal fun. When we won one game my hands were shaking for next 2 mins or so, I cant describe the feeling

Ridiculous that on 14XX rating we had to fight at least a2 geared people. Like 3 or 4 games were fights against guys with a3 shoulders and weapons, including our last game at 1412 rating.

Damn this Cyclone battlegroup, the most powerful one in Europe :/ thats gonna be tough to break through with such a weak gear. Gotta save points for a4 probably.


Screenie of my one win ^^

Hehe I assume you had something like the gear I have now I am gonna finish something at work and then I'll start to grind honour. I am pretty sure I will be able to do things much better once I get a1 set

haha grtz!

sounds exactly like my first 10 games! dinged 70 on a tuesday and wne to get my arena team, tho i didnt have the luck to get a healer so i brought my girlfriend on her lock won 1 of 10 with her standing alone vs 2 druids 1 balance and 1 feral...

tho i can tell for sure it will go better during every week since you prob will get some S1 gear and some random faction stuff =)

btw a tip for you is to bake in your dmg trinkets in your spells to get less buttons to keep a check of
IE
/assist focus
/cast trinket one
/cast trinket two
/cast chain lightning


this will make it so one trinket pops W/O delay when you cast and when the buff is off the 1st trinket the second one will cast the next time you hit the button.
this also works with elemental mastery and nature swiftness... i got them all in same macro to reduce buttons

good luck with your arena

[unit187]

thanks crebble

I use macro

/cast elemental mastery
/cast nature's swiftness
/use trinket (dont remember the name)
/cast chain lightning

I think for arena I will make macro for 2nd use trinket and bind it on normal chain lightning spell

Well good think about this is.. when 2.4 comes out, you can buy PvP items with REP. So when you hit 70 you can at least have something to help you get that honor/arena points.

there wont be arena season 4 items, they are leaving season 3 as the last set untill wotlk and making season 1 and 2 purchasable by tier4/6 tokens respectivley

also ele shamans suck without gear... so do some BGS get some gear and try again.
