Anyone tried arena yet ?

How is the Ascendance burst holding up at 90? I played a few WSG's when I hit 87 and with Ascendance + SWG it was god mode. Blow the hell out of level 89 flag carriers even with their healers, they couldn't stop it.

The problem I had at first, and will just come with experience, is when to use it. I ran into a couple 89 blood DKs who ate my entire burst through an AMZ I didn't know was up, and a pally with the run twice as fast as me thing just outrun me even with SWG up and I couldn't get enough lava bursts on it.

Survivability: the stone bullwark totem + 4x healing tides kept me alive against beast 89 ret paladins and warriors who would otherwise wreck my whole time in 5 seconds. But after those were on cooldown, way squishy. But this was level 87 with no resil or pvp power.

My other observation is that the "empowered" chain lighthing aka lava beam was garbage, not worth using the 15 seconds of ascendance when with ele mastery and/or bloodlust it was more effective to pick off individuals.

On another note, a good counter to all the mass CC, especially warrior/mage stuff will be crucial. I have this idea in my head of strategically projected capacitor totems and the old earthbind root + thunderstorm trick that procs in mid air and lands them 20-30 yards away, rooted.
