Running with a high end 5v5 area is about as far removed from a duel at the crossroads as you can get. My first venture into the whole WoW Arena world was with a Survival Hunter buddy of mine. I figured I was pretty good in the battle grounds so I’d be pretty good in Arena play, right? Totally wrong. I got my fat Moonkin butt handed to me brutally and repeatedly. It was worse than rough.
The first few dozen Arena runs I ever did were, without a doubt, the most frustrating experience I’d ever had in WoW. It was horrible! The first dozen matches I simply had no idea how it was possible to die that fast. Gates would go up, I’d run out, there would be a big flash of light and I’d be dead. The next time, the gates would go up, I’d run out, a rouge would appear behind me and I’d be dead in about 3 seconds. Talk about a wake up call!
Take a few minutes to check out this video. The guy apparently spent a lot of time on it with comments, strategy and explainers as it goes along. If you’ve never been in a 5 man Arena team this will give you an idea as to whats involved. If you have run around in Arena you’ll get a kick out of it…
Pretty nutty, eh? Even though the action can be a bit tough to follow due to the video clarity, and all the effects popping off, the comments and explainers at the top of the screen offer some nice tips and general advice to keep in mind. Be sure to check out this guys YouTube channel as well. Some really good stuff. Thanks!
