How to Succeed in PvP Season 5

People are call Season 5 of the Arena by many names. However, the Arena is really nothing more than Blizzard's testing ground for PvP situations that it can't test elsewhere. Blizzard is constantly changing and tweaking the Arena to balance classes and help competition.

What You Can Expect

To start with, things like Resilience have been tuned way down this time around in your gear so that you cannot possibly get enough resilience to have any effect on your performance - at least not in the same way that you did in the past. Most players need around 1200 Resilience at Level 80 to be effective in mitigating damage, while Season 5 gear caps out around 900 or so. This makes Season 5 more of a damage and burst focused season than any season since Season 1 up through about rankings of 2100 or more.

In addition, Season 5 gear now comes in one of three different tiers. Players can start getting PvP gear when they are running instances and picking up Emblems of Heroism. These can be turned in along with honor points for various pieces of gear that no longer require only Arena points. Additionally, the cap for buying high end PvP gear has been lowered to 2050 so that more players can more readily purchase top end gear before they hit 2100 in the arena (a spot that is hard to get to).

How to Dominate

What will it take for you to dominate your opponents in Season 5? Retribution Paladins can take huge amounts of damage and deal it out in bursts while healing. Death Knights are also good because they are usually overpowered in just about every situation. With a team of about 2 to 3, you can dominate with these classes and a healer or Mage. Balancing and planning is an important factor if you're playing 5 man, but you will still want to focus on dealing burst damage is still one of the best ways to win.

However you play though, PvP right now is not what it will be in a few weeks or months. Practice what you can but prepare for major changes as Blizzard continues to hash it all out before Season 6 comes along.
