Arena Blessings

[PhoenixSentinel]

What blessings do you guys use on each class before an arena?

I typically start with a kings on everyone (I play mage/pally/war) just in case of some burst damage, considering that as the battle goes on I give out Freedom and Sacrafice, so my original buff never stays on the duration of the fight.

Warrior - Might
Lock - Light
Self - Wisdom
Everyone else - Kings

[Kags]

start with kings on everyone, switch to light / wisdom while fighting

[Singularity]

Kings all. Light in 2v2 if their healer wants to have a pissing match. Wisdom myself, rarely.

[Eyetastebest]

I typically start our with Kings on everyone, and switch myself over to wisdom at about 8.5k mana (Wisdom can make a HUGE difference in how much mana you end the fight with, too!) I'll throw a wisdom on my resto shaman partner also, assuming he isn't being targeted (if he is I leave up Kings)

Another thing to watch out for is keeping MIGHT on your warriors when they don't have freedom, now as we all know there will be times when you can waste the mana/GCD on might, but whenever I have a chance to get that on them, I do as it does make a difference.

2v2: Warrior -> light with libram of redeemed souls equiped.
Srsly, Kings is overrated and you'll just replace it with BoF as soon as he gets snared.
Getting 2400 FoL crits with only 1500 +healing is priceless as Holy light takes such a depressing long time to cast with all that CC being thrown around...

It's too tedious and global-consuming to do it for everybody, but start yourself with kings, then once you've expended the 1k mana from it, wisdom yourself and light the opposing team's main target.

I think the big seperation is what people give themselves and melee DPS. I've always been a fan of giving my melee kings unless there is another class on our team that will more likely get FFed (Like running 2345 I throw our warrior might but running mage/rogue in 3's I'll give the rogue kings). It's really just a personal opinion; would you rather them do more dmg or have higher survivability?

Pallies that keep kings on themselves for the entire duration are a baffle to me to be quite honest. 41mp5 almost doubles my mp5 and since there are a lot of times that I can't find the time to get OOC to drink cause of an annoying pet or a heavy dps team which would also stop me from not casting for 5 sec, 41 mana in that 5 sec is quite nice. Kings just doesn't seem like the better choice in it all. Even a short match in 3's for example can be decided in 3 min; in those 3 min you'll of gained back 1476 mana just from BoW.

In 2s, it depends. I start with kings (always) and I put might on my warrior. Again, it gets replaced so fast anyway. In 5s, I wisdom myself, might rogue/war, and kings everyone else.

If we're playing against a team where mana may be an issue in 2s, I wisdom myself. If we're playing against a team that focuses me, I'll keep kings. Rarely if ever do I light something since I'd rather have 41 mp/5 on myself and I'm sure my partner would rather have 200 AP, or freedom, or BoSac. The extra healing on light doesn't make a huge difference when I'm running 1850-2k +healing anyway.
