Anyone tried arena yet ?

[remanz]

Ok I just got full set of pvp gears in time before Monday night. How about gemming. PVP power > all ? I had a feeling PVP power > even primiary stats (Str) for pvp. Played some solo arena. Rets are best described as semi tanky + off healing + 2min per burst. Even the 2 min burst is mediocre comparing to Warrior, BM Hunter, or even Frost DK. As usual, the best tools Rets bring to the team is the off healing and support.

What I see from other offensive classes are:
1. Warrior and BM Hunter burst are retarded. Should not be ignored. Either CCed or take down first.
2. Demo lock is unkillable. Serving as a tank/bait in arena where locks run ahead to soak damage.
3. Frost DK outputs more sustained pressure and damage than warrior, but it is kind of squishy.
4. Mage, didn't see any good mages here. But they are definitely not as good as in Cata where they can pvp with just pve gear, and nobody can touch them. Some of these PVE mages, I killed them with just range attacks.
5. Both enhance and elemental shamans are squishy as usual. Usually targeted first by opposing teams. The burst from them are 2nd to warrior and BM hunter. But the survival is much worse compare to warrior and hunter.
6. haven't seen enough rogues/druids/monks/priests.

EDIT:

btw for shamans, 4 elementals, at around 30% PVP power, 4 elementals can 1 shot pretty much everything without immunity (even demo lock). It kinda felt like LichKing era. So aim for 30% pvp power.
