Mercury and I made a 2v2 team to see what arena is like. I’ve never done much PvP, so I completely sucked. Our team is me, the resto shaman, and a feral druid. We lost all ten of our matches. Here are things I noticed:
- I am always immediately the first target.
- I can’t seem to mash buttons fast enough to keep up with the damage.
- If there is a way to keep me from casting spells, the other teams do it to me as soon as possible.
- Earth Shield on the druid helps very little. Earth Shield on me helps a lot. I didn’t see ES get dispelled, which was unexpected.
- The matches are really fast. Most lasted less then 2 minutes. The queues on a Saturday nght are short, so you can knock off 10 matches pretty quick.
So even though I am a noob at pvp and completely suck, I still suggest getting in on arenas. 10 matches took about 40 minutes. I will get points toward some season 2 gear. S3 is out of the question until I can figure out how to pvp.
