Hi I'm a rogue. I was going to post this or something similar on ArenaJunkies but I'd only be able to post in the waiting room, but **** the waiting room.

This is Me. http://www.wowarmory.com/character-sheet.xml?r=Korgath&n=Xesttub

I guess people want to know but I've been playing arena somewhat casually every season, but really got into it season 6, and yes, I'm more of a pve guy. I got Duelist season 4 and that's about it. My highest ever team rating on any bracket any season was about 2156. I know that number so well.  And I've been playing since beta too how can I be so bad! I'm too accustomed to SS, SnD, rupture, Evisc. repeat, without rinsing.

HEH

Rogue / Mage

Usually when a rogue or mage asks for starter tips and for arena partners, people respond with, "Play rogue/mage its great!"

Guess what. It's not. Stop spreading lies. If someone asks you who to play with, just say play with a Ret paladin. Rogue/ret is better, mage/ret is better, and I'm pretty sure Shadow priests can succeed with a Ret.

As gnome I just play the match knowing I'm going to get sapped against any alliance team. I guess that goes for other non humans and night elfs, but **** undead rogues, I envy them, but not enough to pay 30$.  We'd probably win like 50% more games if both of us were undead, but oh well. The coolest thing to do with Escape artist is to use it on Crippling and sprint away, only to get deadly throwed, **** YEA ESCAPE ARTIST

Reflecting Spells

If you thoroughly looked at my armory, you might have noticed I use the spell reflecting meta-gem. I remember every single spell I reflect because when it does, it's like I just busted a nut. Only been a game winner one time since I used it, it was a reflected Death Coil, allowed me to kidney a lock, then gg. Generally, it's just ice lances and shadow word pains, that small stuff.

What I want to ask is, well, I get hit hit with 6k conflags and 8k Chaos Bolts. When I reflect them, it does sub 3000 damage. I don't know the mechanics of reflecting spells, but is it because, as a rogue, I have no spell power? So it acts as if I casted the spell?

3v3 Arena

Yes I play RMP. The highly criticized comp of being easy mode. Well I can see where they're coming from, sometimes we blow up a paladin before shield or a DK when we go 3 DPS mode. But not having much experience for 5 seasons, I can't say we're too pro. Pro with choosing a target or when to switch targets or whether I should restealth or go back into the fray. ( PS. **** blizzard for somewhat destroying 2s, me and my 3s partners can probably only get to play ~3 hours a week. Yes, we can find another priest or something, but we don't like playing with strangers, because they're strange.) I can't for the life of me switch targets, why run all the way to another guy if this guy is right next to me!

We still don't know how to effectively deal with cleaves, especially rogue/ret/priest. And some Pally/DK/wars that blow everything at the start, DK runs in icebound up and lichbourne, What do I do? partners say just stick to DK but he'll have freedom that we can't dispel becuz priest too busy trying to heal himself then warrior becomes immune to sheep then comes the strangulate gargoyle bladestorm.

I'm trying to find some RMP streams on xfire but can't find any. If you know any, let me know!

Anyway thanks for reading ( if you read it)

TL;DR
I'm a somewhat bad arena player and want tips to succeed. I want a ******* Frostwyrm.

Your mage needs more haste. Use agi/crit damage meta.  Your priest should ditch the staff and pick up a spell pen offhand(saves the trouble of all of those 20 spell pen gems).  **** 2s, don't play them, or if you do play with your priest or a druid, even a shaman. Imp KS is meh, I'd take ruthlessness or deadended nerves any day.  Play agressive and open early against alliance teams with a rogue on them.  Kill shamans all day.  Against ret/rog/priest try anything but priest, your mages sheeps will be spam dispelled against any decent team, so focus on stuns (going ret seems to be quite productive, they take alot of damage and you can remove their bubble).  Have your mage be amazing against DK/War/Pally, tell him to frost nova liberally, stick paladin and make them peel you off.  Reckful.com = rogue pov of 2v2, 3v3, and 5v5 and he is quite the amazing rogue, there are logs of previously played games that you can view as well.

I am not a very good person to ask for advice, I just read a lot of stuff I will never use, so I have a lot of trivial WoW knowledge, I was honestly expecting a GR troll to flame everything I said, as is the usual here.

Yea I play around with all the filler talents 41/5/25 provides. Nothing is set in stone and I don't know what I prefer. I remember trying improved ambush so I didn't have to CB it on priest/rogue teams, and even then it didn't crit and ..|..

The spell reflect meta was originally a one time thing, but the one day I put it on I reflected a HoJ in some BG, and that impressed me enough to keep it for arenas.

Anyways, thanks for replying. Too bad I can't really do much until next tuesday, mage out of town.

If spell reflect took your spellpower into effect the conflag would hit for like 1500. Chaos bolt gets a big damage buff if immolate is on the target, and that might be effecting it. Dunno about the conflag though.
