How Can I Hit 2200 In Arena?
This is a common question I feel most everyone in the WoW community asks themselves one time or another. The question simply lies in progressively getting better and better. Depending on where your starting, whether it be new player or 1800 hero, your going to have to discuss after any loss what your team can try different. This is the process if trial and error and figuring out what you need to do against different comps. This is a continuous process and may be frustrating at times, patience is your teams best weapon on hitting 2200.Aside from just grinding out arena you have to know your class inside and out, and if you play multiple classes your going to be a lot better off as you already know most of what other classes are capable of. For example, I currently play a Feral Druid and a Disc Priest. On my Feral Druid I know that Inner Focus has to be stunned through using bear stun or cloned through. On my priest I know that dispelling predatory strikes counters insta clones and strafing whilst kitting makes it extremely difficult for a feral to get shreds off. I simply put myself in the place of the other toon thinking what would piss me off and applying those tactics.
Next, your going to want to get a few addons to make life a little simpler. Right know on my feral I use Gladius, Vuhdo, Interrupt Bar (mostly on priest but it helps on feral), Diminishing Returns, and Tulla Cooldown Count. Gladius is an easier (imo) arena frame to use. Vuhdo is for dispelling curses off my teammates (I usually play with a disc priest). Interrupt Bar is for juking if i need to get a hardcasted cyclone off. Diminishing Returns is probably my favorite addon, it can snap to the gladius frames and will give u an approximate (up to 2 seconds) DR tracker on any of your ccs. Tulla Cooldown Count puts a timer on all your abilities as to when they will be up again, a nice addon if u don't want to manually scroll over the tooltips to find out the remaining cd.
Coordination with your teammates also comes into play. This is a problem alleviated by just playing with your team more often but depending on the comp your going to want to put out as much pressure as possible. If your playing a burst team this means coordinating cooldowns, if its a sustained damage team that means lining up ccs on their team. Another thing i find really useful, don't tunnel anyone, except the healer in certain situations. If you've been on a guy for 2 minutes and he isn't budging then switch, you don't have to have a reason to switch but if you aren't swapping targets then their healer is having an easy time tunneling heals into just 1 person. Another bit of advice is that you have to always be doing something. If your in ice nova trying to get to their mage but the rogue is on you then start beating on the rogue until you can get back to the mage. Or if the rogue is on your partner your in ice nova and your partners going for the mage then freecast a cc on the rogue. Just always be doing something.
My last bit of advice, watch videos, read guides, talk with others because theres always going to be somewhere you can improve on. The main goal is to have a group of people with patience and the willingness to learn. Anyway, that's going to be all for this rant, leave comments suggestions and feedback down below. I am also going to try and get some game vlogs going. More to come in the future, peace.
