Marks build and Arena for PvE upgradesFollow

Rifle requires a 1850 personal rating and the chest piece does not require any rating.



I'm not an Arena Expert myself, but when I was doing 2v2 with a rogue, I just couldn't get past the 1600 rating. My current partner is an MS warrior and we are doing really well. Although we only play 10 games a week, we usually win them all easily. I've heard that Hunter/Priest Viper/mana burn combo works well, but that's just my 2 coppers.

As for 3v3 and 5v5, I don't do all that well in them.

Pairing up with a healer in 2v2 can be a nice idea, but it is not mandatory.
My best 2v2 experiences are with a priest (though he has some resilence gear making him harder to kill, without resilence your partner will go down really fast).

For 3v3 or 5v5 there are a ton of good combos.
For 3v3 I'd run with a healer and CC/DD class such as mage or warlock. My standard 3v3 is with a Disc/Shadow priest (silence FTW), affliction warlock and my SV hunter. The warlock and me are usually PvE specced but we still manage a rating around 1550 (yes not great, but the points for those nice purples still come, though at a slower pace).

In my realmpool 2v2 is played very much which leads to really long queue times (~10-15minutes) thus I mainly play 3v3 or 5v5 where queue times are rather short (~1-2minutes). If you want to do your 10 games per week, I'd just go for 10 3v3 games. Those can be done in under an hour and it is easier to coordinate 3 persons than 5.
