Don’t really have much a purpose to this, just happy I managed to snag Rival in 2s. 3s was a huge struggle but that might be because I’m bad at awareness when you have 2 other people involved. Going to try to grind up to Duelist hopefully

Yeah, coming from a healer main to DPS I can honestly say, healing in arena requires 100000X more skill than DPSing.
I love being able to go all mongo and only having to worry about CCing and lining my healer as a DPS. It’s so much more fun with so much less stress than healing.

I’m not super experienced with DPS in arena but I will say that the other thread about most people having stopped playing arenas feels true. Not many people seem to be in the LFG at any given moment and it seems like even at 1600 you get Spriest/Druid/Mage teams with flawless Fear + Silence + Stun + Cyclone + Poly chains which I never even thought was possible until you start hitting 2k but I guess now it is

If it makes you feel any better the alliance ones are 5x more ugly than the horde ones.
When my monk goes Dark iron dwarf it’ll be a sad day for xmogs
Same they’re pretty God awful from what I’ve seen except maybe the cloth and leather ones.
Good job! Hope you got the bug
As a DPS i tend to agree.
A lot of bad healers out there compared to bad dps
Bug?

I used to play a lot back in Wrath but haven’t really done arenas since then. Good thing I joined in what people think is the worst healer meta to ever exist lol but still been somewhat enjoyable
As a player that plays both DPS and healer I actually kind of disagree. The only reason you’re correct is due to class pruning making half of the classes currently in game’s only win condition is being “mongo” as that has the best result in the current meta. (example being 3x maledict trinket)

I can’t speak for other healers, but MW is definitely extremely challenging to play well in the arenas. They have the lowest mitigation and depends on mobility and pre-walling to not get globaled, they have to know when and where to crane, they are extremely susceptible to CC.
Congrats! Rough meta atm
Completely agree with this comment. Being a healer in arena or RBG requires some grade A juking skills while maintaining your health and your teammates health and not wasting all your cooldown in the first 3sec of the fight doing it. There is some skill involved with being the DPS, like knowing when to CC and when to use your heavy cools. I was a healer many ages ago and I couldn’t handle that kind of stress today. So a big thank to all you folks that heal in pvp and pve.

Thanks man, it’s pretty entertaining to see a sea of spriests and rogues with a owl or warrior sprinkled in. It’s also funny to see the LFG tool be like “1600cr pushing RDRUID ONLY” right after the tournaments
hell yea man keep up the good work! shoot for that duelist enchant next!
congrats 
keep it up, see you on the battlefield >:P
