Wow im sorry guys but i think i truly understand arena now. unless your one of the most common setups in arena as the snk boards claim you really can't get anywhere. why u ask? basiclly i do ret + ele in 2's. i've got to 1500 real fast but than i start to play holy and unholy teams. i can handle priest rogue we can take druid war but not unholy holy. why would any1 be a warrior over a unholy dk? the fact is that every time i get to 1500 i get knocked back more and more with almost anything UNHOLY. i can take frost and blood but not them. fact is they put an 8 second silence on me then they put my shyt on cooldowns so for 10 seconds im completely doing nothing. nothing i can do can get out of that and bubble from pally can eaten through by the unholy's second pet. soooo i think im going to give up. im on dunemaul and have never seen an ele shaman with a high rating in 2's actually there is 1 on the server ONLY 1. and its horde cuz somebody gets thunderstomp and i get.... 1% hit wtf?
fact is arena is more about the setup than skill. unholy holy teams regardless of skill get higher easier than ele ret why? BECUASE DK's ARE OP. if ele sham were OP then they would be most common setups and thats ALL arena is. if you can get by u are that 1% that masters arena with ur class but my teamate nor I have the patience to bring the game to the level. so all in all im leaving my ele sham and waiting till we get a buff that can help us.
please don't say noob or QQ. ret pallies can't 1v1 unholy either. actually who can really? i can kill frost and blood but im sorry unholy has WAY more abilities.
whats better anti magic shield that can turn my 9k crit hit for 1k? or a ele sham 4k bubble?
whats better hex on a 45 second cooldown? or silence for 9 seconds?
whats better a fire elemental totem? or a gargoyale?
whats better thunderstorm? or a pull from 45 yards away?
whats better 5 second root? or chains of ice?
whats better plate? or mail?
whats better anti melee shield? or 4k bubble oh wait i used that 1
whats better 20k hp or 30k?
whats better multiple curses? or 1 shock?
whats better a pet? or no pet?
whats better dk forced cooldowns? ele sham can't do anything
do you see my point? sure we CAN win anything its possible buuuuut who the hell wants to try SO HARD and get frustrated while unholy is enjoyable and sometimes competitive? i love fighting clsses in arena like war/druids cuz a war has like 4 things it can do. while a unholy has WAYYYYY more. i people think ret is stupid. ret is becoming a very balanced class and even i can THE WEAKEST PVP CLASS IN THE GAME can take1.
remember this isn't QQ becuase Blizzard JUST SAID SHAMANS ARE THE HARDEST CLASS TO PLAY in Q/A.
marketing strategy 101. make an expansion release a new class make it OP every1 wants to play sells more copies every1 FEELS great about there NEW CLASS sells more more more more. it the new class was UP u think woltk wud sell as much? NO....
