Hi all, so my hearthtone experience has consisted mostly of standard and wild ranked gameplay with the tavern brawl every week. I have avoided arena mode mostly because I find that I suck at it. My runs usually end at 3-4 wins. I have decided to try again but I'm gonna need a little guidance. Arena pros, any advice you can offer on class choice, drafting or gameplay? Any particular streamers that are particulary good and informative? Any online guides that are essential for rookies? Please help and thanks in advance! I'm aiming for infinite 7 wins arena status!
Thanks for the advice! I will be sure to check out Merps and ADWCTA. Also, what do you mean by arena guide stickied to the top of the forum? Is it the section of threads regarding arena or?
Watch good streamers like abovementioned ADWCTA and Merps, they explain a lot. They've got their youtube channel with their 12-win runs and a weekly podcast "The lightforge" available also on Twitch and Youtube, dedicated solely to the Arena.
In general currently avoid picking Shaman and Warrior, probably also Hunter (very inconsistent class). Focus on learning 1-2 classes. Mage and Paladin are pretty much always safe picks, Warlock and Priest have good cards this expansion, Druid has got extremely good cards this expansion. People say that Rogue is on a downhill slope, though I'm seeing success with the class (6,8,10 and 12 in KFT) and I'm by no means a pro.
Card rating lists are cool, but they won't get you to a consistent 7 win average. You need to learn your own style of play and draft accordingly, the lists are helpful, but sometimes it's best to draft your way, especially in the later stages of the draft. For example I'm a tempo player, so I prefer drafting cards that spread the board or have initiative (for example minions that deal damage on battlecry). The list may say that some vanilla 5 drop is essentially a better card, but if it doesn't fit my style I'm going to take something else.
