    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.

    Briggsta here - this gave us a ton of insight when rewatching this. There were a lot of things I could’ve done to play this better. This was a great teaching moment for my rl friend Dmabe about positioning as well. He’s only been playing the game for almost 2 months now and learned a lot from this single match. Good stuff.

    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.

      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.

      Was it that clutch though? Xar most likely said "crap where's my candy" and both enemies were lined so the lock wasn't doing anything else anyway. a 200 cr lock would have dropped candy at that moment. Not saying the lock didn't do some great things but that's not really the highlight we should be making.

    Frost dk, amz talent, delirium. Stun the lock, burst dps the mage. Easy done. Position wherever you want because it's not going to matter. This video is 1dps 1 healer vs 2 dps. Positioning is relevant depending on the specific class, arena, etc. Lots of variables. Good video in showing a very specific type of fight against a very specific type of class. I'm sure you know that but obviously some people here don't which is why they are asking you to do more videos using other classes. Not a bad idea.

    Hi Xar! Great content as always! I have one question. I like doing the mirror chess situation. What would you do if you were the other team (DK healer). How would they position themselves to avoid the way you outplayed them. What could have they done better?

      Go for the closest pillar and pull the warlock, the monk should get the cc at the mage, try to force any cds from the lock then change to mage again, if it doesnt work just reset.

    You also need to be able to target quickly and swap targets without hunting for the opponent. When I pvp I am constantly losing my target via diff escape mechanisms and its hard for me to regain the opponent.

    This is all good an all but what about melee's ? i mean something like a paladin vs assassin rogue or unholy dk or dh , there is no way i can win, if i try to run he comes after me and kills me , if i go after him he just stands there and kill me, should i just change class to win arena?
