Terenas 5-5 PvP team

[Kevin]

Teams can be larger than necessary and redundant classes can swap in for 3 games and get back out. It takes about an hour to get 10 games in. This means we can afford to have gaps from week to week if someone can't make it. Or if someone can only make 30 mins, they can get their games in and leave.

To add a little bit of extra detail.

The roster is double the teams size so a 5v5 team can have 10 on the roster (6 for a 3v3, 4 for a 2v2)

The team needs to play 10 games minimum to earn points.

A toon needs to play in 30% of the teams game (this is where the 3 comes from if you play just the minimum) to get any points.


Last week we played 11 games (we felt we could get another win, and we did so we helped the rating a bit, playing more games doesn't get you more points unless you win and move up in rating it's possible that playing more games will hurt you and of course it ups the number of games needed for minimum participation). We were 1-3 with Marn and 4-3 with Krashenk. Class balance matters that much because Marn is way better geared than Krash for arenas.

However my problem is that I want the arena points way more on Marn than I do on Krash. I need 835 more points for the crossbow. So if I want to get it in 2 more weeks the 5v5 team needs to have at least a 1537 rating for for those 2 weeks. Or the 2v2 team needs to hold a 1680 rating. The problem is the hunter isn't really the best choice for either of those brackets (he wasn't bad in the 3v3, which would be a 1623 for that kind of arena points). I could potentially play this spec as healer protector, but since the sting is on a 2 minute cooldow and scatter shot is a 30s cooldown and only 4s of disorient I wouldn't be nearly as good at it. I just don't see the team being as strong with Marn even though Marn should be running right around 10K health and 120 resilience for the next play session and Krashenk will still be sitting at like 8K health and 30 resilience. And yeah I could re-enchant and regem some stuff but I don't have a lot of spare gear on Krash so it would be weakening my PvE gear which I don't really want to do right now (same with Marn).
