Yeah. The 1500's a brutal because of all the teams reforming and working up their rating to sell teams / spots I think. I'd say 60-70% of the teams I'd face in the 1500s would be nearly full vengeful and well coordinated. I was at 1350 this week and went 4-6 playing all 5x shamans. (the 6th loss was due to a totally stupid mistake on my part. I was really shooting for .500 for the week which I would have been pretty happy with even in the 1300s). I'm not even close to an expert in arenas, but so far what I've found in the last 4 weeks is it really takes practice multiboxing arenas to know wtf your doing. I'd say I screwed up somewhere in every single game I played and I'm just barely, ever so slightly, getting the hang of it.

Unless your buying a team/rating, don't worry about being in the 1300's. Personally, I think it's much more fun to win a few than to lose every single one each week while gearing up and learning strategy -- but that's just me. (what's the difference in arena pts between 1450-1500 and 1350? 35pts a week?)

Thanks again to ellay and boylston for their shaman strategy videos. they help... a lot.
