Three arena teams yesterday.
First up was Kaiser on his hunter and me on my resto druid. We started rough–really rough–but ended up about 8-11. Probably a function of rust as much as anything.
Second was Oni (disc priest), Zooe (rogue) and me on Chillmon the frost mage. 8-0! We were tearing it up. Our best new tactic was cc’ing the healer while burning a DPSer down.
The cc was largely handled by me, sheeping and counterspelling. This was because of range. When possible Zooe would blind or Oni would fear. Then it was burn, baby, burn.
Finally it was Skove and Chilldeed, going 2-rogue. I think we went 8-6, but it was better than that looks because both of us suffered lags. Probably 3 of the losses were lag-related. I did not notice any wins coming because they lagged.
Skove and I have gotten good at switching. A common example: burn DPS until the healer blows cooldowns, then switch to the healer.
If there is a stealther one of us opens on the visible enemy and the other waits to open on his little friend.
In other news: a stock analyst estimates Star Wars: The Old Republic to sell 3m copies in its first year, with 2m subscriptions resulting. Sounds good if true!
