Unholy Arena 2v2

[Oninuva]

You should go on, because that is the PERFECT way to play against that combo, but when have you ever executed that perfectly?

Sap on DK, DK Eats it.
Shaman runs behind pillar, drops totems, and pillar humps the priest.
Rogue opens on Shaman, preemptive CoS to stay on shaman and keep the pressure up, priest gets in LoS, lands a Holy Fire / Shadow combo.
Shaman may/may not die.

If shaman dies: win.
If shaman lives: lose.

If shaman lives, CoS is gone, DK peels. Shaman LoS's and drinks. Priest blows Shadowfiend to keep Shaman in combat and to regen the <25% mana he just used on offensive spells / heals.

DK shits on rogue. waits for a vanish, bloodboils, waits for evasion and prep/vanish.

When all rogue CD's are over, DK shits on rogue, pops garg/ spams CoI and DG on priest when he can to interupt, after a DG he focus mind freezes on priest, then strangulates. Shaman comes in and puts a lava burst / chain lightning up and rogue dies.

"Now my arena is rated around 1950.. got my new weapon too"

Congrats on your free 2k team. You just proved my point. Ty.

So if you can't get 2k, apparently you suck, if you do reach 2k, apparently your still bad and you just got a free rating. You loose a lot in arena don't you?

no actually i find 2's arena quite easy until about the 2.3k's where all i see are warrior / druid teams skillstorming it up.

And yes, if you don't have a 2k rated team i see you as bad. 2k is the new 1800.

3's is where you actually gotta play more than 2 buttons to win.

5's is just a zerg rush mainly melee cleave or wizard cleave

Druid / Warrior = Tough
Druid / DK = Medium
Priest / Rogue = Medium

So tell me how does a DK / Shaman kill a Druid / Warrior combo? Currently we have tried to kill the shaman which is stupid, kill the warrior which has almost worked but failed due to stupid reasons. I do 10-20% more overall damage than the warrior by keeping diseases spread, totem hunting with pet, etc but MS will almost always make my healer oom faster or use more more mana basically.

Too me, I only think you have one option. Shammy vs Durid in a mana fight can probably only end in one way, shammy getting oom long before the druid unless your opponent does something very wrong.

When I face druid/warrior, I have to improvise a lot, I found it hard to find a reliable tactic, alltough I haven't played 2v2 for a couple of weeks and I am not aware if there have been any recent nerfs to warriors?

First off, some warriors are very bold, and very stupid. I have won some games by the warrior rushing off for me, not checking how far behind his druid actually is, and what I do then is just to completely max my burst, before the druid has the time to realize what actually happens, and faceroll his hots up.

If this moment fails, I switch targets a lot. Keeping diseases up on both targets, pressuring the druid. I go for hard switches and try to kill a target, usually the warrior.

But the situation is of course a little bit different for me, because I am playing with a paladin. But I think the main concept is the same.

Keep preassure on both target, make hard switches, sooner or later you should be able to kill a target when the druid, or the warrior, does a mistake.

3's is where you actually gotta play more than 2 buttons to win.

And oh, this is the bullshit of the day tbh. Have you ever heard to cleave teams?

I'm confused...you're facing Druid/War but you're totem hunting and "tried to kill the shaman which is stupid"?

Anyways, just remember the golden rule of warriors: they'll take what you give them. That includes letting your guard down and letting them beat on you. It also includes slows, CC, LoSing, generally just running away (if hamstring isn't applied). A DK can easily sit on a warrior doing good damage and slowing him to the point of frustration, and he'll just turn on the DK. Make him go defensive, then switch targets. The trick is to keep pressure up and MS off.

Btw Warrior / Druid = OP.
