5 Resto shammy Arena team?

before the doors open you can change gear? Unless they changed that too

Yes, you can still change gear up until the doors open. Main hand, off hand, and ranged weapons can still be swapped after the doors open. Just think of the door opening as putting you in permanent combat in regards to gear swapping, anything you can't swap in combat, you can't swap once the arena game begins.

I wouldn't be surprised if they change this at some point, I can put an ES on myself with over 3200 healing via trinkets and raid gear before the gate opens, and then switch to full PvP gear. Heals me for 1200 something per tic, which is nice against the few teams with no offensive dispell.

hmm, thanks for the feedback ppl
I guess the main reason I was considering it was as a way to bypass the sheer crappieness of my gear when I'll be hitting 70 ^^ that said I think I will be using one as resto for the beginning, need to practice using Earthshield on the right targets, so 4 dps and 1 healer
Eventually I want to run this arena with two of my friends.. me with 4 shammies and then taking up the last spot, unfortunately ofc they don't have a healing class, otherwise we'd be on easy street, but I guess practising doing both the healing an d dps will be an interesting mix
