Finally full S2, off to Arena today and ended up 6-4, many questions for you experienced

[Skrimshaw]

2 of the wins were no shows so I actually was 4-4. 3 of the wins were against higher teams, which one game I spent 10 minutes regening mana and trying to mow down a resto druid and hunter with 3 of my guys. I won but was not impressed with myself. The 4 losses were all due to a rogue killing my healer before I could help. I think a lot had to do with his positioning with me, but also a lot had to do with him having 200 resil. My questions really are, is a resto druid really a good choice for me? He is my roommate and he has worked hard to get his healing up, but it just seems to me any of the other 3 healers would be better suited. Shaman more totems, extra grounding totem. Pally sheild so on, and disc priest you get the point. I really thought a druid would be nice to cyclone that aoeing mage, or the healer. Run and HOT so on. I know a lot of the issue is his low resilience, but when he gets smoked they rush and I'm screwed. I might get a couple down but not before they get all of mine. Oh another side note, all my loses also came in ROL. I never once got BE arena in 10 games played. Also, should I just stick with 10 games until my healer gets his resil up, or should I keep pushing for 1575 or 1650?

10 games.

Tell yer healer to grind moar honor. He's beyond squishy. Tell him to stay stealthed as long as possible. Sit in the totem farm with magma down.

I've been 70 for 6 weeks now doing arena with my shammys, ive tested alot of healers of diffrent classes. And personaly atm pally is my favorit and drood number two... I dont see how a prist can suport me as he will go oom wasy to fast and a resto shammy is to easy to inteript or cc. Whould be nice with a mana tide totem but.. nah.. was not really working...

Pallys is basicly my fav as i tell him to go infront and have them attacking him.. he bubble and i nuke my ass off.. since mose games are decided in 15 secs in the way we play the bubble is just so nice.. aslo he can cast a hammer on a tacktical target...

The reason droods are nice is that he can stay stealthed so the other team wont focuse him down.. He got the fastest burst healing of all 4 healers. Tell him to stay "inside" of you, and when it all breaks lose he should have his finger ready on Tranquility.. Just pop that.. and all should be safe untill he can target focuse and get hots going. Cyclons are actual relaly anoying.. he should not use it unless you allways want to have him cycloning a aoe mage.. But.. rooting is imba.. He should use that when ever he dont have to heal. Some times some teams like to run in and out.. and if you guys have some comunications its funny what a root and a few bolts can do.. while the rest is still standing behind their pillers scard :P

Keep your room mate. Start practicing and dont expect you win more then 50% for a while.. you really need to get into the arena thing with controling them all and making sure they are all dpsing even when they get singel CCed or turnd around etc.

GL mate. Give it some time and your rating will rise

I heal a 4 boxers on a resto druid, and I have a holy/disc priest healer on my shammy team. I prefer the holy/disc priest, and my healer never has issues with mana.

Bloodlust + Greater Heal or Bloodlust + Healing Touch is priceless imho.
