Destroying the Competition in PvP Season 5

13.03.2010 | Author: Kevin Carr | Posted in Electronics

For the most part, Season 5 of the Arena has been called many things, but it’s clearly how Blizzard intends to test PvP situations that it couldn’t otherwise test. It has seen many changes in the hope to balance classes and create better competition.

Things to Expect

Resilience has been turned down a lot and you’ll have a hard time getting enough resilience with your gear to have an effect on your performance. Typically, you’ll need about 1200 Resilience when you’re at level 80 if you want to be effective. The Season 5 gear cap, however, is around 900. Season 5 is more oriented towards doing damage and bursting than any of the seasons before it.

In addition, Season 5 gear now comes in one of three different tiers. Players can start getting PvP gear when they are running instances and picking up Emblems of Heroism. These can be turned in along with honor points for various pieces of gear that no longer require only Arena points. Additionally, the cap for buying high end PvP gear has been lowered to 2050 so that more players can more readily purchase top end gear before they hit 2100 in the arena (a spot that is hard to get to).

How to Dominate

In order to destroy your competition in Season 5, what will it take? Currently, there are two classes that reign supreme – Retribution Paladins and Death Knights. The Retribution Paladins are good because they can take a lot of damage and then deal it back in bursts whilst healing themselves. Death Knights, on the other hand, are simply overpowered. If you run both of those classes with a Mage or a healer, you can expect serious results in PvP. Planning and balance are important to winning any fight, be it 5 or 3 man play, but make sure you deal a lot of burst damage and use a DPS team to win.

Regardless of how you play, PvP is always going to be changing. Make sure you practice and be ready when Blizzard shifts things around in Season 6.
