I really need to get that 2minute trinket, the 5 minute one just ain't cutting it. I was trying to save bubble for times when I was actually taking hits (particularly if I was being focus fired) and getting the chance to pop my trinket once per fight was... not enough, especially in fights with 2 or more mobs with fears.
I quite agree, the 2 minute trinket made a big difference to me and with 3 DPS the difference is bigger still as our games are more likely to last long enough for 2 uses.  Calling the opposition mobs is possibly a tad harsh though

It's also quite fun simply because it's all over so quickly - an hour a week is easy to fit in, even on a pretty tight schedule.
Absolutely, it's a regular 1 hour slot that never changes.

7-3 again, our rating is now 1501 so we're into the "winning more than we lose" bracket

Just a qick question (being as I still haven't entirely figured out how the arena rankings work) - as I'm involved in all 10 arena matches per week should my personal arena rating be pretty much the same as the team ratimg, or are these things calculated in a different way?

Your personal rating will tend towards the team rating as time goes on, yes.  Your rating should be a little above the team rating at the moment I believe.  Arena is scored using ELO (like chess) if that helps, your personal rating is calculated based on your personal rating against their team rating.

Yeah, I'd pretty much figured how the team rating works. Evidently I need to improve big style if I want to get my mitts on the season 3 stuff then...

Only shoulders and weapon have a rating requirement (2000 & 1850 respectively), chest/gloves/legs/head are available at any rating.

Yeah, was looking at the mace and the shield (which must be classed as a weapon), so both out of my league for now. I'll take a look at the other kit when I have a couple of thousand points I think.

There's some stuff around the 1k mark too, or you can hoard points up to a maximum of 5000 in order to get a head start at 80

5k? hmmm.... I might just do that. There's a none too shabby offhand, but it means ditching my shield and would only really be of use in arenas so I'm not sure as yet

Tonight is a no-go for me. Man flu (aka a minor head cold) has me wiped out, so it's off to work then to bed for me. Sorry guys, but I hope you can fill my slot for this week.

Well... not a bad result - we won 7/10 and broke the magical 1500 barrier again. Cheers to Raf, Alt, Arekh and Kyon for sticking around for the duration.

*thinks of the points*

Nice one.  In unrelated news I can report that diahorrhea and a cough together is a bloody nerve wracking combination :/

Won 3, lost 7. We were starting to get into things, but I think all of us were a little off form yesterday. On the plus side we should meet some easier teams next week

And I was already thinking about how booooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooring the three weeks without Petit will be. Might have distracted me a bit.

But she's on the plane now and up in the sky. Airport is about to be shut down due to the storm, and a university lab was smashed to bits by a tree. It's windy out here.
