    This is literally the first positioning discussion I've seen for Wow arenas. Having put in some reps in Overwatch as a healer, I've seen what positioning can mean in a game. It would be nice to see a discussion of winning positioning for comps other than double caster vs melee healer too.

      Was it that clutch though?

Not saying the lock didn't do some great things but that's not really the highlight we should be making.

    Then I couldn't get a partner.
    I was i463, but only had a 445 weapon. Was I using my abilities wrong? I don't know, just that despite wearing plate, and starting with a great deal of health, it went down faster than my opponents.
    Now I have a 475 2h, but I will be able to do 3 invasions, 3 visions, and 3 emissary quests before TD I is available, and I don't know that I will be trying to farm echoes.

    Hey Zar, thank you for the amazing video! The positioning is very important for sure, but could you please also make a guide for more basic movement?

      healer/melee positioning: healer behind pillar, melee rushes in 60 yards away from you and gets kited behind another pillar. You are forced to go in as well or else he dies. You are in the open, get CC'ed, your melee dies and flames you for lack of heals.

    How do you handle arena as a tank and is it even viable?

    I always get sapped tho...so how do you avoid the saps, stuns, and any other traps?? I use anything I have to get rid of the spell. I'm also trying to learn arenas....I'm great at bgs but these.....wahhhhh. New sub as well!!!

    Nice video Xaryu. But What would be your advice in case of I'm the Lock and playing with a healer. Do i leave my healer between me and my opponent? Take care and congrats for the great job. ^^
