WORLD OF WARCRAFT CHAT ON XFIRE WITH ARENA TEAM MILLENIUM
June 11th, Online.
With Blizzcon and the Electronic sports World Cup approaching, it's about time we emphasize the statement point World of Warcraft is making these days. To dig a little deeper on a phenomenon inside the phenomenon, we've invited team Millenium, masters of the arena whose sweet-talking and erudition has you even believe for a moment WoW is actually a game of skill !
Don't miss your chance to review the tricks and tips those gentleman kindly agreed to share with us.
Nick (107933): what’s best for a resto druid to do at 2v2 arena?
babiz: You must keep your HoT on your teammate and yourself. You must keep an opponent cyclone or root, and you can also help your friend for dps.
"=(e)=™Ascent (volcanicash): What do you think the best build for a warlock is in 2v2 and 3v3, and why?"
blagou: 23 affliction & 38 demonology, best tank spec with Soul Link and an important dps with the DOTs in affliction because you are often the main target in 2v2 or 3v3
Simon (city15hunter1991): what is best setup as rogue in 2v2,3v3 ?
pheolol: Druid rogue is a good setup. Warlock / rogue or Mage / rogue is good too, but maybe a little harder to play. As for 3v3, the common RMP is very good. You can also play Druid / rogue / war or druid / rogue/ lock.
×EsKon× (eskon05): Ok, I as a rogue have not arena'd in a long time what would be my best make-up group for 2v2, 33v33, or 5v5?
tsoukie: For 5v5, you can't go wrong with an euro-setup (Rogue, Mage, Priest, Druid, Warlock). For 3v3 the best team is RMP but you can play some compos like RLD or RWD with some succes. For 2v2, it depends if you want to play a 2 dps comp (ie Rogue/Lock;, Rogue/Mage or Rogue/spriest) or if you want to go the 1 heal / 1 dps way with Rogue/Priest or Rogue/Druid.
Hope it helps
×EsKon× (eskon05): Another rogue question. Gemming and such, is agi gems still the overall gem for us?
tsoukie: Yeah, agi is definitely the way to go if you're specced shadowstep

|>TPT<|-bl4ckw!d0w|.Ldr (markdead): What is so different about the Tournament Realm and the normal PVP realm?
tsoukie: Well to be honest, you are not playing at the same game at all. Tournament realm is about pve-gear, dodging the few teams that beat you, and -of course- being the best among the bests
Artaxs (artaxs): Does Millenium use any high-end PvE gear in Arena?
pheolol: In Millenium Impact, Lgda and Thorrkin used a lot of PvE gear (Hyjal, Black temple). Also, every one in our team use epic gems from instances.
"Prezes (s3thst): what do you think about Brutal Gladiator sets(s4) which Blizz want to add in this month? Does is increase differences between new players and veterans?"
you get more hp, more dps but you keep the same amount of resilience and almost the same armor value.
blagou: you hit harder (like moli) but you don’t tank better. There's a significant difference with the s3 gear, so the gap between new players and veterans keep on growing
[WP]Typhoon (the2ndfreak): Would you prefer the Arena-fights on normal realms to be more about skill and less about equipment, as they are on the special tournament realm?
mischamillenium: Having to play a lot to get your equipment makes your toon a lot more valuable to you then if we could have the stuff faster. I guess having a full time tournament realm could be a lot of fun
"[BE]Oxygen.synergy (phycenz666): I’m a warrior and on my head I have that stamina/resi enchant you can get from the Shattered Sun offensive, should I also change to a damage glyph?"
blagou: I don't play war but you need to do big number as a warrior ! So switch for the glyth enchant !
Artaxs (artaxs): Does Millenium use any high-end PvE gear in Arena? "
blagou: we use some but not as many as on the tournament realm
babiz: As an elemental shaman, I use some pve gear, band of eternity (ring exalted Hyjal), Antonidas Aegis Rapt Concentration (archimonde shield) and Starfire Waistband (leather belt, 75 badges of justice). When i play my...
