Arathi Basin Guide

Saturday, December 15th, 2007

Arathi Basin was my battleground of choice for the first time last weekend (well it was honour weekend after all). Over the course of several games I began to pick-up the strategy and ways that I could best help my team. And then this week I found this Arathi Basin Guide on Wow-Insider that summarised most of the things I’d figured out (fighting on a node, shouting early to notify about incoming etc.), along with several things I hadn’t (e.g. holding 3 nodes close together if possible and watching people’s debuffs to see what they are being attacked by). All in all a nice guide. I just wish I’d found it earlier :)

Building an Arena Team

Sunday, November 11th, 2007

V’Ming Chew has an interesting article on building an arena team at WoW-Insider.

He focuses on class composition, particularly examining the class representation of the most successful arena teams and also a breakdown of four traits needed to be competitive in arena: damage, heals, control and durability. In 2v2 particularly, durability is important (so Wise & I setting up a 2v2 mage / priest team might not be the best plan :smile: ). He then examines the group compositions of 3v3 and 5v5 teams. Well worth a read for arena fans, especially as it has pretty pictures :smile:
