And the comment thereby Megan made me think of how things look on paper, about the tactics we use.<br/><br/>What we do is all well and good, we get good results and are improving but we should look properly at the reasons for our losses and in our wins, what could we have done to win faster, <br/><br/>For example, that lock+pally, although the pally was much better geared, and they seemed experienced, we still made too many mistakes, I used too few fears and I didn't drain enough. I'm not used to the imba drain build especially in arena and I most definitely do not drain enough, that in turn would lift some pressure from you.<br/><br/>And the priest+rogue, the priest might as well not have been there ;) but once he was down (speaking for myself here) I got complacent and was not expecting how strong the rogue was and they almost won despite the advantage, again because I figured, '2v1? lol nerf this'll be np'.<br/><br/>Bit of a ramble there but they are things I will develop further at a later stage when some free time finds itself on my street.

Bit of a ramble there but they are things I will develop further at a later stage when some free time finds itself on my street.

I still need to work massively on my own mobility, for that matter. Good point. I still need to work massively on my own mobility, for that matter.

I'm still using the Blade's Edge "Ring of Blood" 1H Mace on my Pally over Essence Focuser.<br/><br/>Learn how to dodge Mana Burns early on. Learn how to use Bubble in order to get Shadow Priests who "play by the book" to try and spend time and mana on Mass Dispel. You can be amazed at how many times I've bubbled at 60-70% and pillar LOS, using the time to dodge 2-3 Mass Dispels instead of standing there stationary healing like every other Pally does---and had the Priest keep trying while his partner went down.
